SHERLOCKED

I used to be a Sherlock fan ten years ago but now it's just spiraled into a rabbit hole of many many hyperfixations :)

“Actually that was the longest I’d been away when I recorded this record, from my son in ten years. I missed him for seven days, I’ve been out of his life for seven days since the day he was born. Seen him every single day up until I recorded this record. I’d gone out of my way to keep us together. He was in New York City when he was four weeks old, under a table in a restaurant! That guy’s been everywhere, although he doesn’t remember much of it. Sonny, he’s the oldest. And Cassius.”

— Richard Ashcroft on his sons and recording United Nations of Sound, Sirius XM, March 21, 2011

“We need to start setting new standards. Make 1997 Year Zero. People say rock ‘n’ roll’s dead. Is it, fuck! It’s just people’s imaginations have died. The ultimate crime is not to stimulate yourself or other people, and then you get some spotty little student singing Kinks songs on The Chart Show. But it only sets it up better for people who are actually doing the business. And this time they’re listening.”

— Richard Ashcroft, NME, 1997.

George Harrison, photographed by Astrid Kirchherr for Wonderwall Music, 1968.

The 2014 remaster of Wonderwall Music includes detailed liner notes, and something I noticed was an image of a handwritten page of credits in George’s hand, with the notation “sleeve design by Klaus Voormann.” Intrigued by the possibility and wondering how far that idea might have progressed in 1968, I reached out to Klaus Voormann, who very kindly responded and solved the mystery. He said he had prepared and even carried out extensive work for the Wonderwall Music cover, but unfortunately, his plans were not feasible in terms of budget, logistics and deadline. As Klaus wrote, “A pity. Would have been nice.”

Instead, the Wonderwall Music album cover image was created by Bob Gill.

“It was a nice painting but missed the essence of hope. George remembers, ‘I suggested we take a brick out of the wall to give the fellow on the other side a chance, just as the Jack MacGowran character had a chance. Bob Gill didn’t want to do it, but he did it.’” - Derek Taylor, Wonderwall Music 1992 liner notes

“I was in London then and George said he needed a photo for the inner sleeve of his Wonderwall album. I said, ‘I just don’t feel like it, and anyway I haven’t got a camera.’ He smiled and said, ‘Darling, I just need to click my fingers and there’s any camera you want!’ So I had to do it, and I do really like that picture.” - Astrird Kirchherr, The Beatles: Classic, Rare & Unseen

“He said ‘Oh by the way, I need a cover or an inner sleeve for my next LP’ and he said ‘I would like you to take it.’ […] Then he offered to build me a studio in London to take pictures and asked me if I could think it over. I was so unsure about me being a photographer, because of The Beatles boom, and I was thinking ‘Am I really good or am I just a Beatles photographer?’ So I just gave him a call and said ‘No, I don’t want to,’ and the only thing he answered was ‘Well you are my little fool.’" - Astrid Kirchherr, Astrid Kirchherr: A Retrospective (x)

can’t believe vecna/henry/001 was basically the inventor of modern-ish day chain messages. but instead of a message on facebook saying “forward this to ten friends or you’ll die in 10 days” he was like “uh oh! just had a vision of a clock? you have 24 hours to live 🙃 unless your besties know your favorite song 😜✌🏻”

El: We had a party for Valentine's day at school.

Henry: Valentine's Day is just a consumerist holiday that holds no real value other than drive people insane buying heart shaped chocolates for their significant others and-

El: They told us to make cards for the people we cared about, so I made one for you.

El: *hands him a card covered with glitter*

Henry:

Henry: Thank you.

the desire to wear multiple hideously conflicting patterns at once gets stronger every day. perhaps i should stop looking at pictures of men from the '60s.
