The Bea­t­les’ White Album turned 40 last week. And that put the clas­sic album back in the spot­light, lead­ing crit­ics to revis­it the band’s most exper­i­men­tal and con­tro­ver­sial work. Was it their mas­ter­piece or biggest mess? (Feel free to post your thoughts in the com­ments below.) For one look back, you can lis­ten to this pod­cast from WNY­C’s Sound Check (iTunes — Feed — MP3). And, for good mea­sure, we’re throw­ing in some video clips from the album’s stu­dio ses­sions.

Mitch Mitchell, the last sur­viv­ing mem­ber of the Jimi Hen­drix Expe­ri­ence, died late last week. Here we have him solo­ing in con­cert in Swe­den, 1969. More on his pass­ing here.

Until Novem­ber 24, the Roy­al Con­cert­ge­bouw Orches­tra, based in the Nether­lands, is offer­ing 10 sym­phonies as free down­loads. You have to reg­is­ter, but once you do, you can down­load high qual­i­ty per­for­mances of Beethoven, Mahler, Brahms, and more. Hat tip to Metafil­ter for point­ing this one out.

Not to be too pes­simistic …

(PS You can find oth­er remix­es here and here.)
