the irony is that just when he was getting the hang of writing normal songs (taxman and if i needed someone are both pretty good) he stops and starts writing all this indian shit. then when he comes back he's gone all fucking moralistic (piggies, the chocolates one...).

George's best song that he didn't nick from the Chiffons was You Like Me Too Much. Piggies is the sort of song you like when you're in high school.

Having a crap while Within You Without You is playing is considered blasphemy in some cultures. Yeah, but having a wank to it is considered the highest form of enlightenment in some cultures. |

The John Lennon Northern Lights Festival has begun in remote north-west Scotland today.
The three-day event, which features a mixture of music and poetry, takes place in the village of Durness, in an area where Lennon used to go on holiday as a child.
As well as featuring a talk by the late Beatle’s half-sister Julia Baird, the weekend boasts performances from King Creosote, John Cooper Clarke and Carol Ann Duffy.
German Beatles tribute act Lucy In The Sky are also set to perform at the event, which has a capacity of only 1,100 people.

One of the most interesting parts of the complete Get Back Sessions series is this bit called 'the lunchroom tape'. This was recorded on the sly during a lunchbreak without the fabbie's knowledge. George had quit a couple of days previously and John & Paul are actually talking about things. Problem with the lunchroom tape is that it's hard to hear above the sound of dishes clanking and other sundry noises.
Anyway, at one point John says to Paul something to the effect of 'all our records up through Revolver we just wrote and recorded and we didn't really know where they came from. From Pepper onward we knew exactly where those songs came from'.

interesting quote. lennon also said that he used to just churn out the songs in a few minutes without much bother.

they started thinking about it and it wasn't spontaneous anymore. i personally stopped listening after hard day's night.

this is quite interesting: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nHEhEt36bU&mode=related&search=it's a famous clip of course but it merits some attention. it was made for early evening after the main and local news what's happening in the region tv in the liverpool/manchester area (granada tv. the programme was called 'scene at 6.30', if i remember correctly). everybody would have watched it. they're miming but the interesting thing is that george and john are both playing their gibson jumbos. revolution in the head just has lennon on rhythm and george on lead (there is no lead, ironically) but doesn't give any details on which guitars were played on the record. i'm guessing that they played the two gibsons cos that's what they played on the record in the studio. which would be funny cos this is the record that broke them as the saviours of rock and roll in america. and it was more or less an acoustic number. the set is a mock up of the cavern as most of you will know and the, "daily echo", that you see in the background is a pun on the two liverpool daily papers: the daily post in the morning and the liverpool echo in the evening. so it goes... |

Great clip, nick. Thanks. It sounded like the released track to me, although McCartney flubbed the lyrics a few times (could've been an outtake, I guess).
I don't agree that it was "more or less an acoustic number," though. There is an acoustic in there, but it's pretty low in the mix. I think the dominate instruments on the track are two electric guitars (one playing the riffs--including that neat little glissando on the verses) and Paul's bass.
