a fifth beatle

everyone loves the beatles. click here if you don't.

but certain music from beatific souls like daniel johnston, some elo, early kinks and oasis seem to be inspired beyond just being an homage of the greatest band ever. the blog everybody cares, everybody understands does a bang up job of paying tribute to my favorite beatle apostle ever elliott smith. includes great links to articles and a handful of beatles covers by the late, great singer/songwriter.
