I have been listening to the Beatles all time since a week or so but I’m now 100% sure that they are far the best band ever. I think every member of human race needs to listen to them at least once.

I wanted to share a short text part of Derek Taylor from his book “Fifty Years Adrift” which made me very impressed. Please read the excitement and enthusiasm of the people that time!

“I have never seen anything like it. Nor heard any noise to approximate the ceaseless, frantic, hysterical scream which met the Beatles when they took the stage after what seemed a hundred years of earlier acts. All very good, all marking time, because no one had come for anything other than the Beatles…

Then the theatre went wild. First aid men and police – men in the stalls, women mainly in the balcony – taut and anxious, patrolled the aisles, one to every three rows.Many girls fainted. Thirty were gently carried out, protesting in their hysteria, forlorn and wretched in an unrequited love for four lads who might have lived next door.

The stalls were like a nightmare March Fair. No one could remain seated. Clutching each other, hurling jelly babies at the stage, beating their brows, the youth of Britain’s second city surrendered themselves totally.”

P.S.: The text is copied from the Beatles’ official website.

I remember clearly when I first met (heard) Nirvana. The day was rainy, cold in Istanbul and we were riding back to home with our shuttle bus. The cassette (Yep, not a CD) was one of the girls from the upper class. It was the “Bleach”…

I felt in love with that song… The lyric tells everything about a relationship and pure feelings in it, pure love or need to love… Now, after approximately 10 years I am listening to it again and feel the same as I felt that day.

I just want to add some parts of lyrics Kurt Cobain has written for the rest of the world who can’t tell what they feel…

I need an easy friend
I do, With an ear to lend
I do, Think you fit this shoe
I do, Won’t you have a clue

Today I want to share 3 links to let you have fun while surfing on the net.

The first one is PMOG - Passively Multiplayer Online Game. It is on beta stage and you can only register for a beta announcement. They sum up with the paragraph below what this game will look like :

PMOG is an infinite game built on individual network histories, transforming our web surfing into ongoing social play. With a game head-up display in Firefox, players can bomb each other, wage war over web sites, and lead other users on web missions. Ordinary web sites become caches for items and currency. PMOG fuses an MMO into our WWW.

I found the idea cool. Without actively playing a game is a different and creative idea and integrating it into surfing WWW is another big deal. I have just signed up and cannot wait for it goes live…

The other two sites are for the people who ever dreamed for sketching a cartoon series but couldn’t because of their lack of skill.  Well, I do have a skill and maybe I should improve it but with the latest Ajax technology of today’s HTML world, it is now possible to create your own cartoon series with a huge help of these two sites: ToonDoo and Pixton. You can create your own cartoon or read and vote others’ make comments etc. So, they’re built on a classical Web2.0 concept but again with an innovative idea.
