Obviously nothing to see yet, but these are the two entrances to the first floor St John's Market (the shutters hid escalators and stairs) and the other is within the shopping centre itself (first floor).

It's the second of only 3 episodes looking at the US number 1's of 1964. Today it's July to November and we've got harmonies and falsetto for days, plus the stomping sound of Motown, ol' drunky Martin and few more besides! Have YOU had your crooner mush? https://plinkhq.com/i/1531129636/e/100079699605719 Oct 2026 10:57 +0000at://did:plc:k2thnxrpjtkd2tcdduhsf6ec/app.bsky.feed.post/3my7xksywxc2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/bigsort.bsky.social/post/3my7k7u7isk2iIs one of the reasons I like this more than FAAB because it doesn’t have slide guitar - which is more of a solo George sound? Hmm. Maybe! This is an interesting mixing experiment and highlights how bafflingly slack Ringo’s drums were tuned. Only so much you can do with that.

We're commemorating what should have been John Lennon's 86th birthday today whilst the news tells us the US is going to live stream a firing-squad execution soon. The problem of guns runs so deep in America that's it's almost impossible to imagine any change.09 Oct 2026 08:29 +0000at://did:plc:k2thnxrpjtkd2tcdduhsf6ec/app.bsky.feed.post/3mxgkmsd3rs2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/bigsort.bsky.social/post/3mxe2umqy222yGreat new post, looking at that most earnest (and somehow boring?) of interviews and containing a brilliant bit of Beatles-World-Coincidence story as well!

Will Garry's spreadsheets be up to the task? Will Paul manage any song-name puns? Will any listener survive the first Mega-Episode of this madcap British Invasion year?

You can pop out on lunch to go to the art shop and know you're in a place where almost certainly at least Stuart Sutcliffe bought his art materials, but also it's the same building where the group heard Norman Chapman drumming, leading to his short stint in the group.07 Oct 2026 13:01 +0000at://did:plc:k2thnxrpjtkd2tcdduhsf6ec/app.bsky.feed.post/3mxbyvzxdmk26https://bsky.app/profile/bigsort.bsky.social/post/3mx5rzgu7i224Well well well.
