‘’I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by their character’’ – Martin Luther King, Jr.

Northern Songs Publishing was a good idea. But like business in general, things aren’t that transparent.
On February 13, Brian Epstein met with George Martin, record producer at EMI Records, to talk about The Beatles.
It’s the end of another year, and it’s been a bit more difficult to decide which was the best release, at least more difficult than last year. So I’ve basically chosen the ten albums and singles that I liked the best, but the order might be a bit random. But just a bit though.
The Beach Boys has just released their first single, and now they’re getting ready for their first professional concert at a show held in honor of Ritchie Valens.
There’s not a lot going on in the world right now that I want to write about. There’s the Vietnam war. Protests against the war. Failed space launches. I kinda want this to be a positive thing, you know?
I’ve finally stumbled over the first Norwegian release since I started this project. I mean, there have been other releases, but they are not available on the streaming platforms that I use. And like I’ve mentioned before; I’m not rich enough to buy all the records I can’t find on the internet. But The Monn Keys will be the first Norwegian band to get some attention here on This Band Could Be Your Life.
John F. Kennedy, who’s probably the most well known president of the USA, took his oath on January 20th, 1961, and The Supremes signed with Motown Records on the 15th of January. Which is more interesting?
November 8, 1960; John F. Kennedy is elected the 35th president of the United States of America. Kennedy is one of the most famous presidents the US has ever had, though I don’t know much about his politics.
With releases from big names such as Frank Sinatra, Chuck Berry, and Sammy Davis Jr. one would think that it would be easy to have a good time while checking out their albums. Well, the joke’s on me!
You know, we are pretty lucky. We’ve been blessed with so much great music through time. But we’re also cursed. Stuck with terrible bands that never stops. That will forever be played on the radio. And that never seems to shut up.
