Music Memories: "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" by The Beatles

I have been waiting to post this.  "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" was developed as a concept album by The Beatles.  It was released on May 26, 1967.   Back in November 1995,during my senior year in high school, my dad picked me up and we went the mall. He asked if I wanted this album and I said "Yeahhhhh!"  I had the 1987 CD, and it has since been re released.
Now on to the CD track listing:

1. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
2. With A Little Help From My Friends
3. Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
4. Getting Better
5. Fixing A Hole
6. She's Leaving Home
7. Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!
8. Within You Without You
9. When I'm Sixty- Four
10. Lovely Rita
11. Good Morning Good Morning
12. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (reprise)
13. A Day in the Life

Music Memories: "Load" by Metallica (7th year post)

"Load" By Metallica

This year marks the twentieth anniversary of the album "Load" by the band Metallica.  This album was controversial when it came out on June 4, 1996  .  Not only did Metallica infamously sport shorter hair on the back of the album cover, but the music was creativly different from the self titled "Metallica", released just five years before in 1991.  I consider it to be a mixed bag of music, much like the self titled "The Beatles" (White Album). The songs range from complicated pieces of rock and roll, gloomy ballads, and simple "country" songs.  Well thats enough of my rambling, here's the track list (strong language):

1.  Ain't My Bitch
2.  2X4
3.  The House That Jack Built
4.  Until It Sleeps
5.  King Nothing
6.  Hero Of The Day
7.  Bleeding Me
8.  Cure
9.  Poor Twisted Me
10.  Wasting My Hate
11.  Mama Said
12.  Thorn Within
13.  Ronnie
14.  The Outlaw Torn

Jean Paul Valley's Bat suit Mark 1

 

20 years ago, Bruce Wayne was crippled by the villain known as Bane.  Bruce had been training Valley to be an emergency Batman in case something happened.  But Jean Paul Valley had been programmed as a violent assassin years prior, and it started to control his crime-fighting.   This and other factors led to Bruce Wayne wrestling for control of Batman away from Valley in the summer of 1994.
