Wow, thanks @Beatlebug. I can’t wait to get home and play this as loud as my system will allow. It used to be popular to say “he could play the guitar just like a ringing a bell” and in the case of this solo it’s definitely true!

(Semi-off-topic: Ooh, his stare is intense.) 

The other night my mother asked me why I like George so much. I told her, his personality and his music, mostly… but I also love his eyes. My god, his eyes. a-hard-days-night-john-3

I can’t remember if I ever mentioned this before, but Little Girl is absolutely potty over Got My Mind Set On You. It’s her favourite Harrisong ever… possibly her favourite song ever, period. She rolls across the floor every time she hears it while I look on in pretended amazement. 

I honestly don’t see what she hears in it that’s so melt-worthy. ahdn_paul_01

But the upside of this is I’ve transformed her into a Fiendish Thingy… perhaps too much so: she even made a paper cutout that is supposed to be George (’76 vintage, with curly hair, as seen below). And gives it hugs and kisses. a-hard-days-night-paul-4

Creepy? A bit. But alas,

Listening to Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth) which I haven’t heard in a while (I’ve played it on my guitar but that just ain’t the same) and trying not to be overwhelmed by the beauty of the Harrisonics.

Under ‘This Is Love‘, a random YouTuber says: 

The guitar solo in this is so unbelievable. I find it hard to imagine that a person could come up with it. I think it is one of the most evocative solos of George’s career… which is hard to say, because George made a career out of writing evocative solos.

For once a YouTuber says something noteworthy. Because yes. And yes. And yes again. heart

Good news everyone, we got finally got confirmation that thenewno2 is actually doing a 3rd album.

Coming from this post

Image Enlarger

The best day spent with the newest member of thenewno2 ms. @mereki stay tuned for her on the 3rd record.

^ She seems to be the ‘Thorunn’ for the up-coming album, newno2 appear to have something with blonde girls who have a connection with Iceland a-hard-days-night-paul-4.

I mean if you ever need another vocalist thenewno2…..I’m not blonde…..nor Icelandic but I’m still fabulous a-hard-days-night-john-6 

 

I’m finally happy that they’ve actually confirmed that they’re working on a “proper” album and that they aren’t messing with me again like some of their posts “Busy recording in the studio”…..”Had a great time with *insert musician here*”……..”LOLZ JUST JOKING ASJ, IT’S A SOUNDTRACK ALBUM!”.

Not funny Dhani, not funny at alla-hard-days-night-paul-7

 

Edit: Oh yes, I also forgot to post about this:

Dhani is in ‘Oliver Peoples‘ (a manufacturer of glasses from what my research has taught me) 2016 Campaign. Here he is doing whatever Dhani does alongside model Sidney Williams.

Image Enlarger

^ I really dislike this photo, it looks so stilted and awkward like they don’t really like each or they were just told “Dhani, Sidney, Sidney, Dhani, now give him a big hug ahdn_paul_02

Image Enlarger

^ This looks like they’re just after having an argument and yer wan is leaving with her bags and Dhani is just like “get back in the car woman” (I knew I should have studied script-writing!)

Image Enlarger

Image Enlarger

^Is Dhani throwing gang-signs or……?

Wow…and George is so cool when he discovers he’s being taped…just kinda shies up a bit, gives the camera a little kiss 😉

Half of what I say is meaningless...

I feel good in a special way, I'm in love and it's a sunny day

After seeing me play Harrisong #4 that requires a capo, Silly Dad decided George was capo-crazy, or ‘Gone Capo’. 

I think he has a point.

Seven Reasons To Love George  Harrison 

  1. He could play guitar like nobody’s business– well, and with style. And as random YouTuber quoted above says, he made a career out of writing evocative solos. 
  2. He wrote some of the most heartfelt, soul-baring, beautiful songs I have ever heard. 
  3. He had the most adorably lovely crooked fang-teeth shy grin in the history of adorably lovely crooked fang-teeth shy grins. (Later it got less crooked and less fang-teethy but still somewhat shy and adorably lovely.) 
  4. He had a brilliant, barmy sense of humour. 
  5. His eyes. There are untouchable worlds behind those eyes– they see all and reveal nothing. 
  6. Let’s face it, he was a good-looking man. *melts* 
  7. Everything he touched, thought of, dreamt of, breathed on, was infused with that ineffable something that was George  Harrison.

We’re going back in time, not to 1955, but to the 30th of April 2013, when AppleScruffJunior (Appy), fabfouremily (Emmy) and Egroeg Evoli (Eggy) created the ‘This is Love: The George Harrison Club for Fiendish Thingies’ page. It’s soul aim was to fangirl over the magnificent human George Harrison . Alas, I am the only original-member that is on often which is quite sad but I decided I’ll revisit the glory days of that wonderful spring and summer of 2013. 

So here we go, back in time with seventeen-year old Appy writing how fifteen year old Appy would:

Image Enlarger

^ Oh pardon me, I’ve just melted all over the floor. Somebody send help!

Image Enlarger

^ I was going to say a sentence with the verb “ride” in it and the noun “cowboy” in it but I’ll let you all fill in the blanks. 

Image Enlarger

^ Oh Christ, he’s gorgeous, I can say no more, oh my *fans self*

Image Enlarger

^ I have a strong urge to make this my avatar again, he’s just so damn cute.

Image Enlarger

^ Oh stop it you tease, that and early Wings reference?

Image Enlarger

^ HOLD ME BACK SILLY GIRL! GET AWAY FROM HIM YOU EVIL TEMPTRESS, HE BELONGS WITH ME !!!!!

Image Enlarger

*sigh*, I can’t ——

Image Enlarger

*squeaks*

Image Enlarger

Even in just flicking his head in a 2-second clip he reaches perfection. How?

Image Enlarger

^ I’m done, send help.

ASJ, you’re killing me. I was hoping for a respectable way to die, but ‘Cause of death: heart stopped by George  Harrison’s fabosity’ doesn’t sound very dignified. ahdn_george_07

As for holding you back… shall I grab you by the hair? Or by the collar of the AHDN -George-suit I always picture you wearing, despite evidence to the contrary? Interesting how in the gif I’m supposed to hold you back from, he immediately glances off like he’s distracted by Another Girl

Looking over gifs again… I’m up to my ankles in fangirl juice… I just.. I just… 

George_I-cant.gifImage Enlarger

He’s just so beautiful, and I don’t mean aesthetically either, although he is that too. I mean his soul and personality is just so beautiful and every little thing he does shows it and I just can’t get enough of him– all his little quirks and habits and speeches and little ways of doing things and he’s just so wonderful and fab and funny and adorable and alive. OH GOD WHY DID HE HAVE TO DIE?!!?!!?!!! He isn’t dead– he can’t be. He’s just disappeared from the face of the earth, that’s all– it’s a conspiracy! I just love him more than words can say, that’s all– nothing else. And I can’t accept his death. I can just about accept John’s– though it doesn’t seem very real– but I can’t accept that George Harrison , this beautiful, wonderful, real human being, is dead. In my heart, he’ll always be alive. And the most wonderful human being on the planet. 

 

(Wow, that was incoherent… you see the effect of ten incredibly awesome gifs on me.)
