I Am Not The Beatles

“This is a beezer of a blog site. The guy who writes it has a bone-dry sense of humour and a decent grasp of the ridiculousness in pop… He does reviews without knowing anything about them, then digs up a few facts later. His account of a journey to Lapland, during which he was terrorised by the same loop of five Christmas songs at every stage, is worth the price of entry alone. And if you want to hear the full horror of what’s described, he’s uploaded each song.”

Craig Brown, The Scotsman

Incidentally, Craig was going on about Gay Gordon And The Mince Pies

“If you haven’t clicked on iamnotthebeatles.com before, have a look. It’s worth reading “The Rules” before you launch into the first entry, as it makes no sense otherwise - and the rules are what make it so compelling.”

Andrew Collins, Where Did It All Go Right ?

Andrew got quite interested in Age Of Chance’s Who’s Afraid Of The Big Bad Noise !

” I Am Not The Beatles is a very funny and oddly poignant music website, an affectionately written tribute to fleeting fame, failure and the ridiculousness of much 1980s pop music. All success is fleeting. What comes afterwards looks a lot like I Am Not The Beatles. ”

Andrew wrote this very nice review on the website of his equally very nice band based in Edinburgh called Swimmer One

“An extraordinary blog”

Todd Hart from the always interesting Dalston Oxfam Shop

Todd particularly liked Burnette’s Running Bear. Not the actual song though. Obviously.
