Wiz Ball

Such a beautifully sad song.

Thanks bex!

We did. Managed to get 17 tracks down. Was an incredible adventure. And a rockin' good time 🤘

Nothing to envious of now. On my way back to the airport via beautiful downtown Frankfurt. But the last few days were super thanks!

Thanks Bex. It was a blast. We played until our fingers bled.

It was even better than it sounded. The place had a harmonium!

I did Ali, and I did it for you. Thanks man!

Thanks Glothy! Really was an incredible few days.

Thanks Jo. I really did!

Thanks Elaine. I had a marvellous time.

9—Dear Prudence

My favourite track on their most fun album. John's clawhammer guitar is the frame around which the band builds slowly from simplicity to sheer ecstasy. In a word, transcendental.

'Blue' Joni Mitchell (1971)

"The last time I saw Richard was Detroit in *68*"

A conversation set to music; a Socratic dialogue of sorts between romanticism and cynicism. A masterpiece to end a perfect album.

Yep, the mono sound is great. No I'm only sleeping sadly. But on the plus side, no Doctor Roberts.

10—Eleanor Rigby

A magnificent character study of lonely sorts McCartney had known around Liverpool, with Martin's lone staccato strings adding extra bite. Lyrically ambitious and musically sophisticated: Paul at his best.

"Let's do the twist
A little bit harder than they did in '66
A little bit faster than they did in '*67*
Twist little sister and go to heaven"

Quite literally the baddest jam in the land.

It's like a musical inception

So it was the lens that was small!

I heard they were down the pub.

PE in full effect!

11—You never give me your money

The Abbey Road medley if you prefer: it's impossible to think of this song outside its context. But this is the heart of Paul's patchwork, a dramatic prelude to their break up. A powerful track.

Bet he gave an amazing speech!

It's all about Ian G Child at the end.

Man, either you're really tall or you have tiny feet!

A plane in the runway. Hopefully a safe one.

Morning all!

Flying off on this plane (probably) to Frankfurt for a marathon recording sesh with some very dear friends. So if I seem a bit distant over the next few days, that'll be why.

One of the great riffs of our times

Still one of the greatest guitar solos ever recorded.

Last year I stumbled on some NES bootlegs on AliExpress and couldn’t resist. Turns out a couple of them are rom hacks. I knew rom hacks existed but never really got into them… until now. New rabbit hole unlocked. This one, The Beatles Adventures in Pepperland is cool. #nes #romhacks #videogames

The Beatles performing “Hey Jude.” Hey Jude topped the charts in Britain for two weeks and for 9 weeks in America, where it became The Beatles longest-running No.1 in the US singles chart as well as the single with the longest running time. The Beatles did not record their promotional film until The Beatles - Hey Jude

12—Hey Jude

The singalong coda has made this maybe most beloved of all their songs. But for me, it's the bridges that make it. And when he goes high on that second 'for well you know...' it always floors me.
