If I ran horoscopes on this site, today’s advice would be: It’s a good day to start a new project. And that would be based on these three precedents:
1 | On this day in 1959, 22-year-old Buddy Holly made his final recordings in his New York City apartment. Armed with an acoustic guitar and tape recorder, Holly documented Peggy Sue Got Married, Crying, Waiting, Hoping, That’s What They Say, What To Do, Learning The Game and That Makes It Tough.
2 | In 1969, The Beatles moved from Twickenham Film Studios to their own Apple basement studios in London to start recording the Get Back LP.
3 | In 1966, The Beach Boys went into L.A.’s Gold Star studios to cut Wouldn’t It Be Nice, the opening track to their next album Pet Sounds. Aiding the band were The Wrecking Crew, including Hal Blaine on drums and Carol Kaye on electric bass.
With that, here’s a project for you to undertake right now: Perusing the 320-plus new albums, EPs, singles, box sets, compilations, anthologies, retrospectives, soundtracks, vinyl reissues and cassettes on the way. Good luck!
