Time That Was So Hard To Find

I love talking about Beatles history, their songs, and music in general!

Tags:

❡ my analysis tag; where I give my more nuanced takes on the band in general. ❡ music talk tag; where I just ramble about music for its own sake ❡ music live blogging tag; where you can watch me as I descend into Beatles solo career madness in real time

Also I tag a bunch of other things! Individual people (first name only usually), relationships (first initials; eg. jp for John/Paul), year (last two digits), ref (for general sources), and some other things I'm trying to keep track of. Feel free to explore :)

I also newly have a sideblog for Beatles-related music polls!

Fics:

✥ I'm Looking Through You ✥ Diarchy ✥ Under Both His Thumbs ✥ Thinking Of Speaking My Mind ✥ (Everything Comes Out) Teenage Petulance

Anon, I am also a full-time procrastinator. (but I often procrastinate real work with fandom stuff which may give the false impression that I have me life, how you say, together)

I don't really know if I have many tips past trying to keep in mind that doing a little bit of work with the time you have left today, or this week, or whatever, is better than throwing your arms up and deciding "it's too late".

Otherwise I guess it depends what sorts of tasks you mean? I might have a few more tips but they don't necessarily make sense in every work context.

This made me think of you 😊

PEPSI RADIO BELOVED!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH LACE 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

recently been really getting into this new EP, it's called Pipes Of Peace (1983) Side 2 Tracks 1-3

While I adore Revolver, Here, There and Everywhere isn't quite top tier for me. I think mainly I find Paul's vocal range awkward in it. I sort of find the Broad Street version nicer.

But I think it's sooooo cleverly structured. The way verse 1 starts with "Here", verse 2 with "There", and then it lands on the "[I want her] Everywhere" on the first measure of the middle eight. Chills. I also really like the guitar runs during the middle eight, how they first sound almost dangerous and then come and harmonize with the vocal.

Man. So many Revolver thoughts. Contains my favourite (Eleanor Rigby) and second favourite Beatles song (I'm Only Sleeping) BACK TO BACK. It's also so unapologetically THEM. Whatever tickles their fancy, in terms of song subject, of instrumentation... A bundle of uncompromising ecclecticism!!! Sort of like the White Album but more... yknow together. And compact. It's so fun to listen to it in order.

Also my favourite album cover. Perhaps ever.

I kind of have a headache so just know I could say a lot more about Revolver but :(

Hellooooo, sorry, I got distracted playing guitar

that passage in May's book is definitely notable and I do think John and George had an interesting dynamic which probably warrants more analysis. it kind of feels like there was a bit of a disagreement over what they were to each other at the core of it, hence George being so mad and John seeming kind of taken aback by the whole thing.

Regarding your speculation: I'm lowkey a lennison (as a ship) hater so you've somewhat come to the wrong place lmao. I know there's that alleged wet dream John had about George, but other than that I don't know that I think something happening between them is more likely than between John and Paul. I do see what you mean, re: closed off-ness and the nature of John and George's specific bond, and I also think it's quite possible George was interested in experimenting (and I sort of see it more with him than with Paul) but I don't know if I think that would make a specific John/George sexual encounter very likely. but you know Who Knows, they just don't really give me that vibe (and even that wet dream description, to my memory, sounds like John was like "wtf with HIM????" lmao)

no definitely beatles disk horse lmao. B)

if u want to send me some super niche asks (about specific songs or albums, about weird tidbits of history, about disk horse) i would be into that

it was the 2010s. why weren't they telling him to stop doing the voice. that being said this slaps so hard………

I don't know !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! he doesn't go Bonkers bonkers tho, I'm trying to keep the story grounded. I'm just under 10k into it but there's still looooots to go. Do not expect it before sometime in the new year (especially since it's on hold until my secret santa duties are complete)
