Are The Beatles Really Different? Commentary on North and Krause (2023)
This article is a commentary on \"Are The Beatles Different? A Computerized Psychological Analysis of Their Music,\" by North and Krause (2023), in which they analyze features extracted from the Spotify API and ultimately claim that The Beatles' music is statistically \"innovative\" compared to other music. In this commentary, I explore potential methodological issues with some of their analyses. Chiefly, I show that applying their analysis to other artists results in similar results in most cases. I conclude that The Beatles' innovativeness, whether real or imaginary, cannot be statistically determined from Spotify's acoustically derived features.

This Bird Has Flown
The Beatles' sixth studio album, Rubber Soul, was a game changer. By December 1965, when the album was released, the Beatles had played the first arena rock show at Shea Stadium for 55 000 delirious fans, been awarded MBE (Member of British Empire) medals, and were indisputably the greatest musical phenomenon since Elvis Presley. With their first film, A Hard Day's Night, John, Paul, George, and Ringo laid down the blueprint for everyone who ever wanted to form a group. The movie, entertaining as it was, became an instruction manual for aspiring pop stars of the day on how to play, dress, and act. Richard Lester's 1964 comedy turned out to be the touchstone for every music video that followed. Then, with the release of Rubber Soul, the Beatles created an artistic benchmark to which their peers measured their craft and creativity. Touring the world over two years, the band had grown up fast. Both musically and lyrically their new album represented a major leap. Upon hearing Rubber Soul, Bob Dylan allegedly remarked, \"I get it, you're not cute anymore.\" Newsweek hailed the Beatles as \"the Bards of Pop \" while critic Greil Marcus claimed Rubber Soul was \"the best album they would ever make.\" For Traffic's Steve Winwood, the album \"broke everything open. It crossed music into a whole new dimension and was responsible for kicking off the sixties rock era.\" In This Bird Has Flown, John Kruth not only analyzes the songs and making of Rubber Soul, putting the album in context of the turbulent times in which it was created, but captures the spirit of musical innovation and poetry that makes the record a standout in the Beatle's canon.

Beat sound, Beat vision
This book reveals the ideas behind the Beat vision which influenced the Beat sound of the songwriters who followed on from them. Having explored the thinking of Alan Watts, who coined the term ‘Beat Zen’, and who influenced the counterculture which emerged out of the Beat movement, it celebrates Jack Kerouac as a writer in pursuit of a ‘beatific’ vision. On this basis, the book goes on to explain the relevance of Kerouac and his friends Allen Ginsberg and Gary Snyder to songwriters who emerged in the 1960s. Not only are new, detailed readings of the lyrics of the Beatles and of Dylan given, but the range and depth of the Beat legacy within popular song is indicated by way of an overview of some important innovators: Jim Morrison, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Donovan, the Incredible String Band, Van Morrison and Nick Drake.
