I'm currently making @yopple listen to Why by Yoko Ono. We're having a great time, right Yopple? I'm enjoying myself. Yopple said something about having a dream about getting their ears blown up by a clown. (I unpaused the song and Yopple jumped across the room)

Forever Howlong by Black Country, New Road. I quite liked their earlier albums, but this one I think is truly brilliant. They've changed their style and got so much better.

Very interesting hearing this extended version, with the warmup and abandoned take. (The regular version runs 5 minutes-and-change, and begins "in progress" at about the 1:53 mark, ending at about 8:35.)
I like the repeated lick that John plays from 5:19 through 6:19 - it sounds like a noised-up take on the guitar solo from Chuck Berry's "Memphis, Tennessee"! Listen for comparison; solo (George's?) begins about 1:21:

That is a great song, but I found the instrument part in contrast easy. It's very simple, and fun to play.

Sorry, did you mean Yoko's "Why" or The Beatles "Memphis, TN" cover is easy and to play? (Neither recording exactly demands virtuosity, obviously)

Listening to my Star-Club CD-R which my friend @montyclift burned for me 5-6 years back, without bothering to notate a track listing nor song timings. I'm doing that now, writing down the track sequence and playing times of all 32 included tracks.
(I think a judicious selection of the best 14 performances here would result in my 4th or 5th favourite Beatles album - but only temporarily, since my fave Fabs album is always changing)

Incredible album, sometimes considered the first punk album (recorded 1965, released 1966) by five expatriate American G.I.s stationed in Germany, where they recorded and released this album. (Album was unreleased in the UK or North America until 1997, when I bought my CD copy - on the same day I bought Yoko's 'POB', which itself was just newly re-released that year, for the first time)

Only read it once, a library copy over a couple of weeks in around September of 2017; but now I'm happy to have it re-read to me via Spotify: Mark Lewisohn's "Tune In"
