clavioline
sounds like a possible new nick for whettie.
personally, i like the clavioline. rich man is one of my faves.
bart's mp3 is still pretty good. the verse was written by john on an acid trip. the piano and bass on that are way cool. the chorus paul already had so they stuck it on.

i never liked eleanor rigby till i heard the strings version one night in the car. mesmerising. up there with beethoven. baby you're a rich man is 50/50 - verse john, chorus paul. john also said he contributed to the lyrics of rigby and that george wrote the "all the lonely people" bit, but john's memory isnt the most reliable.
john had bigger things to worry about then. he thought he could be shot at any minute with the jesus thing. probably the first time he thought "fuck the beatles"

it is strange. even if you do a search for island jukebox you come up with loads of links to desert island jukeboxes but none to here.
ok, on page 2 of a you tube jukebox search we get a link to here on the bottom. still though, where are all these people coming from all of a sudden? 139 guests now. somebody on a popular messageboard must have found us and as nick said, posted a link to the jukebox.

the greatest hollies single is coming later on in 66 and was written by band members. For Certain Because, the album its from, was according to wiki "the first Hollies album in which all the songs were written by members Allan Clarke, Graham Nash, and Tony Hicks." here's another great version of tar and cement Joe Dolan www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkGTxKnhJWcno show like a joe show, ok?

"Friends of Mr Wall, including David McGrath (25), said the party were on their way back to their hotel in the early hours of Saturday morning when they stopped to take a look at the heaving river"
irish man, early hours of the morning, river in flood....he hadnt a chance.

The Beatles - Rain
you can see how far the beatles were ahead of everyone else in that video - the audience start clapping during the drum solo thinking the songs over.
mad bass playing from paul, great drum solo, chiming guitars, john inventing oasis, all in a days work for the fabs.
i love the lyrics. only john could write a line like "It's just a state of mind". while everyone else, including dylan, was still using rain as a metaphor for bad stuff (hard rain, desolation row etc), lennon turns that up on its head (something that only dylan gets credit for)
maybe a nod from dylan later in i believe in you? "dont mind the driving rain"

Love the video for 'The Pretty Things - Come See Me'. An old alleyway with some mod tart walking a goat(?) is all you need. now that is cool. not sure if this video was a looking glass into 67 or a nod to the past. yep, excellent neil song.

the classicometer is about to explode this week, and you never even mentioned sorrow. that would be my record of the week. covered by bowie later but if you ask me this record heavily influenced him - the whole style of the record right down to the phrasing.
