Also glad you’re ok. I was at ‘Derek Taylor defending The Byrds against Sonny and Cher’ levels of outrage! And my sense is that you are assiduous in quoting important sources.

DEREK: here is a man, who thinks himself sartorially splendid, but I will show you how his ill-fitted jackets, his ghastly hems, his novelty socks, his askew necklines and his poorly chosen shoes cause me to laugh SOCRATES, DEREK’S FRIEND: Fuck him up, Derek

PRODUCERS: so, you seem to be paying half a million dollars to a Mr Depths, seemingly just to skeet ‘Van Dyke Parks! Rod Stewart! Jim Fielder, who was a bass player!’ Is this really a good use of funds? HICKEY: Do not interfere with the creative process

Eclipse! Eclipse! Eclipse through a colander
Still shot of Paul McCartney from the ‘Get Back’ documentary or at least a screenshot of something that came up when I did an image search. I don’t think it’s the bit of the film where he composes ‘Get Back’ though. He’s wearing an orange top and is strumming yellow-brown guitar with some stickers on it.

This episode follows on from the episode on the GTOs. These two make up two parts of a three-part story, and I’m hoping to have part three, on Captain Beefheart, up before the end of the mont…

The important point, though, is that Jim Fielder was a bass player

Very minor issue: I think the edit needs reordering around the line ‘and wrote one song, “Anything”, entirely solo’ - ‘Anything’ comes before that and then ‘Cheap Thrills’ comes in early…

The Socceroos, the witch doctor and the curse
With the 2018 World Cup imminent, let's look back at a time when a witch doctor supposedly placed a curse on the Socceroos, leading to a 32-year World Cup drought.

And for the former lead singer for the Small Faces: is coverage of this chap following a Fibonacci sequence? A few seconds, then ten, then 30, then maybe a minute. Will episode 500 be a fifteen hour homage to the backing vocalist for the GTOs?

This episode, along with the ones on the Grateful Dead and Beatlemania, covers fandom in a way that is essential listening for anyone who wants to understand these things. Also, the section on the art of Cynthia Plaster-Caster is delightfully replete with doubles-entendres.
