Everyday Chemistry is a Beatles mixtape made by James Richards who provides a very extensive back story about how the Beatles Never Broke Up. The story itself is a fine piece of fiction, but the mixtape is far more interesting. You can download each individual song as .mp3 or the entire thing as a .zip file over on his page. Before all that, you can sample a small few tunes below.

Thick, cruddy mix that makes "Yellow Submarine" sound crystalline in comparison.
If you want to make a mash-up, make one; just don't make it like this.
Its pretty.. interesting
You can tell its fake
Because the first song, "four guys"
Is just a mix of their voices from interviews, and even lines from the song "Band On The Run" by Paul McCartney and Wings
Still pretty interesting to listen to, but after I hear every song on this, i probably wont listen to it again
Personally, I love this. yeah its ficton, but the remixing is pretty delicious. I think it is fairly genre-specific though, where tastes are concerned, so I can see why some wouldnt like it, especially purists. I am a purist myself but I allow for deviations from time to time.
This is one of them.
It's like Tricky or Portishead traveled back to 1970 and collaborated with our favorite four.
personally i think there are some real gems on here. "Over the Ocean" is brilliant song that probably ended up on a Harrison solo album, I love the slide work in "I'm just sitting here", and Saturday night works well as a remix.
I'd be interested to see what Paul in particular makes of this, as he's been into sound collages and the like for aeons.
I don't think the fakeness has any real bearing on the music - no one stopped buying The White Stripes albums because they aren't really brother & sister - did they?
