And again, 5 months is a while between drinks! Let's have some new cast!
Bit sniffy about Help here lads! That its a transitional album is not a fault rather part of its importance. Its a key stepping stone between the pop sensibility of the first albums and the experimentalism over what was to come next. Helped as you say, by the Dylan influence, its a very different sounding album (not sure about your constant references to this and HSN as soundtracks - they are also albums in their own right). Its also the album where all their individual voices start to more clearly emerge. There is some good stuff from track 8 onwards, I've Just Seen a Face is really good song that always, for me, calls to mind Simon and Garfunkek.
great podcast! some might say that the Beatles podcast field is a crowded one but the humour and tone of this really won me over. the overall pitch is perfect-not too dry, not too trivial, hits the sweet spot. here's to more in 2020!
when are you back?
when are you coming back?:)
Ok easing into it. Nothing new here, not the greatest start but entertaining nonetheless. Other eps are better
