1 June 2007--it was 40 years ago today...Sgt. Pepper taught

[urth]

Y'know, for a 40-year-old piece of vinyl, this sounds pretty good.

and it's getting better all the time!

He's not even dropping in "10@10" sounders between songs -- the suits are gonna be pissed.

I'm curious if he's going to open the mic while he flips the album, play a station ID, or just have a few seconds of dead air. We'll know soon enough.

She's Leaving Home--one of the heaviest tunes on the album--this and A Day in the Life.

And of course Henry the horse dances the waltz!

Turned out it was a little of all three.

Within You Without You. Heard this on KUSF on the way home from the Bottom of the Hill, just before the DJ came on and announced George had died.

this used to be my least favorite track, when I was a child, but now it's my favorite.  Mshray's overall BOS for WYWY.

And now Paulie *is* 64.

And getting some excellent reviews for the new album, interesting because the last one was massively hyped and most folks were underwhelmed. The new one has a different kind of hype behind it (Starbucks) but it's being called his best since Flowers in the Dirt. EW said it's like a really good Wings LP (there's apparently a song that recalls "Jet").

More gender-bendering from Paul: "Lovely Rita", who looks a little like a military man. Hrm.

[urth]

Good Morning, Good Morning--an underplayed Lennon tune with a pretty weird time signature. Portending a lot of the White Album methinks. Like the sax trio? quartet? part that runs throughout.

And you just knew Dave was going to let the last chord play out to the bitter end. (Btw, Don, it was tune number THIRTEEN, for the second time in a couple of weeks.)

Bet they play this one first in the marathon.

Either this or the Soul Patrol. Either way, the alarm will be set for 7 tomo'w.

Just switched to CG and they're playing "GM, GM". I've got nothing to say but "it's OK".

Dave didn't play the "secret loop". But CG just did.

So what's Annalisa going to offer up for the bonus track?

ETA: I buried Paul--I mean Cranberry sauce!!

Wow, I'd've guessed "All You Need is love" (released that summer-of-love but not on SP).

No, it turns out that her question was about songs that had been dropped from SP. Or rather: Which of these three wasn't dropped from SP: SFF, Penny Lane, and Golden Slumbers. The answer was the last of the three, of course. So the foghead got to choose between the other two, and rightly went for Strawberry Fields.

At the moment this picture was taken, we were listening to near the end of Sgt. Pepper, and making colorful GAK (slime, gluep, etc.) and the principal came in to take a picture with the kids  and me wearing the shirt we made her.  They are all printed with my  core slogan: "There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch"
