It was 100 years ago today! George Martin centenary on Spy Vibe spyvibe.blogspot.com/2026/01/geor...

Rewatching this doc. It's a personal story about going to India in 68 to study meditation with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (along with The Beatles, who were also there). The doc uses great photos, contemporary interviews, and a trip back to the ashram. I'm enjoying the revisit myself via the film!

First film for 2026: The Jade Raksha (1968) with Cheng Pei-Pei and Tang Ching as Wuxia heroes on revenge quests vs a supervillain with a secret dungeon. The extra dose of atmosphere was provided by cues lifted from John Barry's From Russia with Love soundtrack: spyvibe.blogspot.com/2026/01/jade...

Thinking back to Rutherford Chang's exhibit "We Buy White Albums" in 2017. A creative idea to spotlight the limited-edition quality of the original record, as well as our collective interaction with The Beatles via customized sleeves by past owners. Chang passed last January.

Happy New Year from Spy Vibe! spyvibe.blogspot.com/2025/12/happ...

2025 Recap

I'm not into flags, but I like how this Japan red vinyl copy of The Beatles Help! laid over the album cover suggests the Japanese flag sun motif [not my record]

Following my post about George Harrison, here's an old related post on Spy Vibe: spyvibe.blogspot.com/2016/06/the-...

I enjoyed rewatching Scorsese's doc about George Harrison again. This Korean poster uses one of MANY photos of The Beatles exploring photography. I love that their creativity & curiosity never ebbed; not even during rare moments of downtime. Looking forward to the upcoming George photo book.

Rainy weekend fun organizing my Beatles records, or as I like to call it, the Annual Running of The Beatles :)

Sad to hear Canadian First Nations (Oneida) actor, Graham Greene, passed today. Best known for Dances with Wolves, he loomed large for me because of 2 films I watched over and over: Powwow Highway and Medicine River (a quirky TV comedy about basketball on a Blackfeet reservation in Alberta).
