30 years later, and the song finally sounds like it should. It's no exaggeration to say that there is still something magical about the Beatles that sets them apart from everyone else. youtube.com/watch?v=Vatsae…

Oasis don’t seem as ‘mad for it’ as they once were.

I know that happiness is relative, but I never thought it would be a can opener that works.

With new ‘Pulp’ and ‘Divine Comedy’ singles released this week, it feels like 1995, not 2025. Pass me my Adidas track suit and Oakley sunglasses, would you? I’ll see you all at Knebworth. youtu.be/-27a1ugJX8U?si…

Why was John Lennon such an 'all or nothing' person? @mrianleslie may have the answer... duncandriver.tumblr.com/post/778713578…

A short note today on Lennon's meandering melodies. He didn't just write one note diatribes, and @mrianleslie identifies a great example. duncandriver.tumblr.com/post/778395771…

Another (slightly) long note on @mrianleslie's 'John & Paul: a Lover Story in Songs'. This one's about 'Penny Lane'. duncandriver.tumblr.com/post/778122098…

Another note on @mrianleslie's 'John & Paul', one that was just too long for X: duncandriver.tumblr.com/post/778042759…

I've had the privilege of reading an advance copy of @mrianleslie's 'John & Paul: a Love Story in Songs', which comes out very soon. My full review will appear in the pages of 'The Journal of Beatles Studies', but until then, I'll tweet a few notes that didn't make the final cut.

Putting this here in case anyone wants to read a good piece about Gene Hackman. @mrianleslie , something for your next rattlebag, perhaps? flaminghydra.com/gene-hackman-h…

Unpopular opinion: no amount of ‘world building’ can make up for poor prose. Conversely, you could hold me spellbound with a description of a reverse-cycle air conditioner if you did it really well.

"All art is quite useless", wrote Oscar Wilde in the forward to 'The Picture of Dorian Gray'. He meant it as a compliment: as with sunsets, chocolate, wine or love, art is something we value despite (or perhaps because of) its uselessness. God save us from "useful" art.
