My choice has to be I Want You (She’s so Heavy) by The Beatles which stretches the outro to an almost unbearable level of tension for three minutes before cutting out. Absolutely amazing.
@satsuma curious about how this is created, because you are in my inner circle and I am not at all in yours 🤔
Also I feel like I have way more interactions with some from my outer circle than with some in my inner...
Anyhow, it is nice to see so many beautiful faces on there 😊

Daphne and Celeste is my most owned physical release - I have the cassette, a signed cd, the single, a standard black vinyl and a special edition pink translucent vinyl. It’s gorgeous!
Nat Johnson always puts a lot of thought and care into her physical releases. The Lonesome Lake cd has an individually hand drawn cover and the Liberty System has a unique insert complete with a magnifying glass to read the tiny writing.
A big hat tip to @Kitty and @The_KamikaZEN for bringing together people from their 20s to the their 60s with a common love of great music yesterday on #TuneTuesday !
I grew up with the Beatles and I love this inexplicably kooky film that accompanied the song Help! Why are they bouncing on a plank? Why is Ringo holding an umbrella? Where did the fake snow come from?
This is pretty much by the numbers post punk with agit prop lyrics about IRA prisoners, situationist politics and violence on TV. At one point he genuinely sings “Love’ll get you like a case of Anthrax and that’s something I don’t wanna catch”. The high point is probably the song about drugs (where he has a choice between Asprin and Paracetamol).
I think that this another case of mistaken identity. I assumed that Super Furry Animals were a novelty kids band, like the Wombles. However, they turn out to be a sort of Welsh psychedelic, shoe gazy, dubstep version of the Beach Boys with songs morphing from mellow piano introductions into glitchy electronica without pausing for breath. One track even features Paul McCartney chewing celery in the background. Enjoyably bonkers!
@derthomas would like to know the first song we heard live!
I hadn’t been to any gigs before moving to Sheffield for University, but I quickly made up for lost time. I dragged my housemates down to the Leadmill to see Cabaret Voltaire - I was blown away by the weird noises and use of slides and cine camera projections, but I don’t think they were impressed!
This is a video of the set that they played from the Hacienda on the same tour.
