For those of you that were following the 'One Of These Days' Garageband review thing, I've decided to give it a rest for now. It went on much longer than I thought it would. The song is still there sitting on #62 right now. If it got over twenty it would be worth remarking on. If I get any reviews that are indeed insightful and interesting or humourously scathing, I'll certainly put them up here. Onwards and upwards. There's music to make and a widget to keep updated. I better get interesting, fast. :-)

Across The Universe Day

February the 4th at 7:00 pm eastern time, NASA are transmitting the Beatles song 'Across The Universe' 431 light years away from Earth. The song will travel across the universe at a speed of 186,000 miles per second. This is to commemorate not only the fiftieth anniversary of the birth of NASA but also the original recording of the song which occurred on the same date forty years ago. They're saying Feb 4 will now be known as 'Across The Universe day'. I'm amazed we're not hearing about this everywhere. You can read about it here.

I've been thinking about hauling out my version of the song recorded in 2002, so this is as good an excuse as any. Here it is as it was when I finished it, though it could do with a re-mastering.

Across The Universe - Peter Kearns.

There is still a lot of interest in this song. My website gets found every single day by someone searching for it, even though I removed the meta-tag reference to it two years ago. I've heard you can get kicked off Google if you drag people in by your meta-tags purposefully not reflecting your text. In my case I guess the spiders have good memories.

John Tabacco.

If you haven't heard John Tabacco before, go here and check his stuff out. John mastered 'No Such Thing As Time' and kindly plays cuts from it quite frequently on 'The Non-Objective Reality Show' on WUSB 90.1 at Stoneybrook, New York.

But while he does that for me and others, his musically astounding catalogue of more than 25 solo albums barely gets a mention. But they are an eye-opener, not only for a listener, but for any self-respecting musician as well. His understanding of genre and execution thereof is flabbergasting. There are many samples of his material at the below link.
