The Beatles, Doctor Who, Steptoe, Tony Hancock and the Sopranos. Not necessarily in that order. And mainly The Beatles if truth be told.

Clearly another craven attempt to brown-nose and curry favour with ‘Queen’ Camilla. (See also his spirited campaign of attacks on her step-daughter-in-law.) Is it too much to hope that we actually hear you challenge his motives in the podcast?

Marvellous storytelling from @asifkapadia.bsky.social Quite a mantle to take up, but he did so in style, giving the series a perfect send-off. #70UP

I’m sure I say this every seven years, but the UP series is bloody brilliant TV. Poignant, uplifting and staggering in its ambition. We won’t see its like again. #70UP

Definitely. The David Kahne CD single remixes are worth seeking out. The second one is particularly beautiful - and heartbreaking.

I love the atmosphere and mood of From a Lover… but that line makes no sense whatsoever. It doesn’t even have the stoned hippy logic of the ‘movement’ line from Hey Jude.

My favourite of the three - a cracking song!

Can’t quite make it back from my holidays on time - but I look forward to reading the thoughts of the gang.

Marston’s, apparently.

I’m not sure - the rest of the leaflet makes it look like a rebranded Beefeater. The pub’s actually a fair distance away.

Yes, thanks all, and thanks - as always - to @johnp69.bsky.social for bringing us together again. #harddays26

You Can’t Do That is - in the parlance of the young folk - a true banger. A local pub band used to have this as a regular in their set - it always went down a storm. #harddays26

I absolutely love Things We Said Today. A Macca songwriting highlight on a Lennon-dominated album, though I’ve never been entirely sold on the double-tracked vocal. #harddays26

Tell Me Why - another song that would have been a significant hit for a lesser band than The Beatles: here it’s another (great) also-ran. #harddays26

John Scott @winstonscott.bsky.social · 25/07/2026
And I Love Her. Top drawer stuff; George really should have got a writing credit on this one. #harddays26

I Should Have Known Better is one of the few songs I’ve sung live. I think John did it better. #harddays26

I don’t dislike Ripples… but it doesn’t do as much for me as the other tracks on the album.

Anybody that struggles with Paul’s voice on this album hasn’t hung out with enough octogenarians. He’s a bloody marvel.

John Scott @winstonscott.bsky.social · 20/06/2026
Momma Gets By - A song that’s got under my skin more and more as the weeks have gone by. ‘She loves him…’ Yep. Got me again, Macca. 😭 #dungeonlane

John Scott @winstonscott.bsky.social · 20/06/2026
Salesman Saint - Bloody love Giles Martin’s 40s-style arrangement on this one. It elevates a good track into something a bit special. #dungeonlane

John Scott @winstonscott.bsky.social · 20/06/2026
First Star of the Night - It’s sweet, isn’t it? ‘And I know my little world is still alright…’ It’s what you need to hear and feel every now and then. Clever old Macca. #dungeonlane

Life Can Be Hard - Can’t stop whistling this one. If this wasn’t originally intended for the stage version of It’s A Wonderful Life, I’m George Bailey. #dungeonlane

Interesting idea… would make sense.

Home To Us - Enjoy this one more on every play. It’s Paul McCartney. It’s Ringo Starr. It’s got a great guitar solo. Puts a smile on my face every time I play it. #dungeonlane

Never Know - An early favourite. Love the Atom Heart Morher-era backing vocals. Actually, I love everything about this track one. Quintessential Macca. #dungeonlane

That Uncut list was mental.

John Scott @winstonscott.bsky.social · 20/06/2026
Come Inside - Not the album highlight, but a great side opener and a song begging to be added to the live setlist. #dungeonlane

John Scott @winstonscott.bsky.social · 20/06/2026
We Two - Oddly, this seems to be the least-loved song on the album, but I really can’t get enough of it. Deceptively simple, classic Macca. Give me more of that four-track, lads! #dungeonlane

John Scott @winstonscott.bsky.social · 20/06/2026
Down South - Solid song, but one middle-eight short of a cracker. (That absence hasn’t stopped me humming it most of today.) #dungeonlane

John Scott @winstonscott.bsky.social · 20/06/2026
Mountain Top - Love this. Almost 60 years on from Pepper, Macca continues to embrace the psychedelic. Some marvellous moments here, even if I can’t understand what Nancy says at the end… #dungeonlane

John Scott @winstonscott.bsky.social · 20/06/2026
Ripples in a Pond - Possibly my least favourite song from the album, but no skipper, and still quite the earworm. #dungeonlane

John Scott @winstonscott.bsky.social · 20/06/2026
Days We Left Behind - The lead single, with good reason. Beautiful, classic Macca: both intensely personal and universal. #dungeonlane

John Scott @winstonscott.bsky.social · 20/06/2026
A tempo-shift would help. I like the song, but it could do with a boost.

John Scott @winstonscott.bsky.social · 20/06/2026
Lost Horizon - Getting Flaming Pie era vibes from this one. Cracking track. Can imagine this one being knocked out at a higher tempo by the Junior’s Farm-era Wings. #dungeonlane

John Scott @winstonscott.bsky.social · 20/06/2026
As You Lie There - The best Macca album opener since My Brave Face. And it might well be better than that. #dungeonlane

I have cancelled orders twice at the official store. It’s a minor irritation, but they were very efficient. I really don’t like the staggering of the variants, but there are ways to get what you want if you can face cancelling and reordering.

John Scott @winstonscott.bsky.social · 24/05/2026
I understand all the frustrations, but I’m also enjoying picking and choosing which versions to get. I’m just glad I’m not a total completist… that way lies madness and financial ruin!

Short, but sweet. Another great Ringo/T-Bone collab. I’ll be spinning it again this weekend. Thanks again to you all for your company and, as always, @johnp69.bsky.social for organising. See you shortly on Dungeon Lane? #longlongroad

Long Long Road - another Ringo co-write that holds its own with the other tracks on the album. A fine album closer. #longlongroad
