Absolutely. What exactly makes music β€œalive”. Sales? Streams?

Indeed. No BLM shirts or Kamala mugs. Nigel mugs ok?

Jenrick is about keeping Jenrick in the news especially during conference week and the plan succeeded. Populist’s playbook phase one.

Here we are in Autumn colours. Here’s this week’s 1950s mixcloud, quite an uptempo one, featuring some originals of songs covered by the Beatles, plus Jim Backus aka Mr Magoo voicing what many of us feel right now, β€œI need a vacation”

Smart alec answer which I apologise for - between 1940 and 1943 when Julia Stanley, Mary Mohin, Louise French and Elsie Gleave gave birth.

Difficult to answer. When Paul brought in kid George to play Raunchy to John? When they dropped β€˜silver and an β€˜e’ and adopted an β€˜a’? Or when Ringo joined and the Beatle sound was complete. Dunno

My guess is Taking a trip to Carolina, a pleasant enough ditty if they’d bothered to finish it. Harrison seemed to be the only one who encouraged him. Some of the songs they both worked on for his solo career were fab, especially Photograph.

Being a Brit I like Heinz beans on toast, so a healthier alternative is a bunch of chopped mature toms, a few butter beans, a dash of olive oil, and then a ton of basil leaves cut with scissors. On toast. If I’m feeling posh, decorated on top with a single leaf of basil.

Any idea what’s left in the vault? In a parallel universe there’s an album they recorded between Rubber Soul and Revolver

She stole the train as she’d fancied a holiday. How easy it had been, she thought. The driver had stepped out of the cab for a mo’ and hey presto. Meanwhile….

A slight West Midlands. Still, baristas heard β€œcappuccino” when I said β€œcup of tea”. Odd

Many times when I asked for a β€œcup of tea” in cafes they’d give me a cappuccino. Must be my accent

I wonder if there’s an equivalent period in the late 60s when stars of the 40s like Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Liberace, Buddy Rich and Mel Torme etc made a similar update - fancy threads, toupee for the guys and groovy pop
