Summer Of 1992 – August 27th – Lots Of Money For ‘A DAY IN THE LIFE’
27 August 2026
On 27 August 1992, the late genial JOHN LENNON’s handwritten lyrics for The Beatles’
24 Carat gem A DAY IN THE LIFE (the closing track on their sublime Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band LP) sold for £56,600 ($100,000) in an auction at Sotheby’s London.
Nearly two decades later, in 2010, the lyric sheet was auctioned again,
and purchased by an anonymous American buyer for $1,200,000.
JOOLS – British High-Voltage Hit Team Drop Combustible Haymaker ‘WHEREVER I GO, THERE I AM’
Daily electricity to load your batteries
27 August 2026
Credit: Jools FB
Band: JOOLS
Who: High-voltage hit team from Leicester, UK. Last year they launched
their imposing debut LP, named Violent Delights. You can stream it here.
New single: WHEREVER I GO, THERE I AM
Kate Price (co-vocalist/songwriter): “Suddenly playing big shows was an amazing
and transformative experience. But I couldn’t outrun the fears of living this dream and
my fixation on perception; this song covers the acceptance of needing to tackle not
outrun our fears.”
TUTV: Amps and decibels up from the kick-off. Aggressive guitars, merciless drums, and searing duet vocals combine for a volcanic outburst, boiling over every time the crushing chorus crashes your stereo. Post-punk ferocity mixed with nu-metal moxie propel this combustible haymaker. Helter skelter. Wherever you go, don’t miss Jools.
Wake up.
Press play.
Play loud.

The Late Iconic DOLLY PARTON About EMINEM
27 August 2026
The music world lost a truly genuine, awe-inspiring, all-around beloved and praised
artist with Dolly Parton. Her legacy is huge, artistically and as an open-minded, caring, humanitarian-inspiring person.
She also had an eclectic musical taste.
When hip-rap-hop giant Eminem was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame
in 2022, Parton wrote him a touching letter, which he made public now as an ode to
the brilliant artist.
Here it is.
Marshall (Eminem),
Congratulations on your induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Your performance was amazing and everybody said so. Even though I don’t know a lot about rap music, I’ve come to know that you are the very best at it.
.
Aside from that I hope what I have to say will not seem weird or strange to you but I have always felt some unexplained connection to you like I know you somehow. I had hoped to meet you at the show but you know how nuts those things are, personally I hate ’em and I missed my chance but maybe someday we’ll meet.
.
In the meantime, keep doing what you’re doing because you do it so well and no matter how complex your world may be just know you are very special and touch people in ways you don’t even know. With love & respect, Dolly Parton.

respected for her visual artistry.
She will now be honored for her
work with a stamp collection.

GARBAGE’s Awesome Frontwoman SHIRLEY MANSON Who Celebrates Her 60th Birthday Today About Fame
26 August 2026
Photo by Turn Up The Volume – Garbage in Antwerp, Belgium – Last June
Shirley Manson was born in Edinburgh, Scotland on 26 August 1966.
Happy 60 to the NME Godlike genius, the awesome Garbage voice
and co-songwriter with utterly inspiring, caring views on society and
intolerant, inclusive politics.
Last June I saw Garbage for the upteenth time. Another fantastic show.
Something special happened just before playing the encores. Shirley got
from the stage to have a selfie with a teenage fan she spotted in front of
the stage. Never seen a star doing such a touching gesture.
LEGEND.
THE WHO Released Their Hit Single ‘I’M A BOY’ Today 60 Years Ago
Top singles from the past
26 August 2026
THE WHO released their hit single I’M A BOY
on 26 August 1966, today 60 years ago.
The song was originally intended to be a part of a rock opera called Quads, which was to be set in a future in which parents can choose the sex of their children. The idea was later scrapped.
The story is about a family who “order” four girls, but a mistake is made, and three girls and one boy are delivered instead. The boy dreams of partaking in sports and other boy-type activities, but his mother forces him to act like his sisters and refuses to believe the truth.
It peaked at #2 in the UK.
“I’m a boy, but my Ma
won’t admit it”
BRONCOS – Irish Doomed Rockers Overwhelmed By ‘GLOOM’
Vitalizing tunes that work faster than a stream of caffeine
26 August 2026
Band: BRONCOS
Who: Hefty 4-piece emerging from Belfast‘s thriving alternative music scene.
They have spent the last two years traversing the country and, in the process,
releasing a slew of successful singles, to establish themselves as one of
Ireland’s most compelling voices.
Track: GLOOM
New single.
Lyrically the song is about knowing from the outset that
a relationship is doomed, but entering into it regardless.
TUTV: After a tranquil synth intro, this emotional discharge intensity’s builds up gradually and menacingly, and scrapes the sky on the herculean chorus, spiked with anxious vocals. Image nu-metal titans Deftones and industrial vets Fear Factory jamming with subdued urgency. Gloom is wrapped in dark clouds and has an ominous sense of near-collapse. Darkness rules. No emergency exit.
“We’re always doomed”
