A podcast in which two old friends sit about and talk BS - Beatles Stuff - on a track-by-track basis pretty much for the sake of it!

It's time for a new album as Beatles For Sale falls under the spotlight and it's opening track, No Reply.
Does this different way of starting an album on a more melancholy note work? Do the Anthology versions shed any light on the situation? And does this really signify Lennon's increasing maturity as a songwriter?

We flip the I Feel Fine single over to its B-side this time out to cover the McCartney rocker She's A Woman. Does the song manage to maintain the quality of its A-side? How do the cover versions stack up this time? And just how many other words rhyme with "presents" anyway?

On to a single as we leave the world of albums temporarily behind and embrace I Feel Fine as this epsiode's Stuffology outing.
Does the song manage to hold its own away from any kind of parent album? How much can someone say "I don't like this" while admitting to liking it and then changing their mind? And do the non-Lennon three-quarters of the band hold up their end of things?

It's four for the price of one this episode, as JG and Andrew tackle the whole of the Long Tall Sally EP in one go. So that'll be Long Tall Sally itself, I Call Your Name, Matchbox and Slow Down - plenty to be getting on with!
How does the EP stack up when compared to the material that surrounds it? Does the band manage to make a good fist of the covers? And what of the lone Lennon/McCartney original?

It's a bumper-length episode this time out as JG and Andrew cover both the A Hard Day's Night album and movie.
After a quick check-in to cover the health of the dynamic podcasting duo (it says here) and a discussion about Paul McCartney, AI, and all that Beatles news stuff, they get on with the task at hand. How does the album compare to the previous two? Is the movie as good as its reputation? And do the two come together (heh) in any kind of satisfying way?

We round off the analysis - if that's the word, and it isn't - of the A Hard Day's Night album with the closing track, I'll Be Back (and not an Arnie joke in sight...er, earshot). After a fairly morose start (to the podcast, not the song), how does I'll Be Back work as an album closer? Does it manage to tie everything together? And why so much ELO discussion?

Time for something a little controversial this time out, as JG and Andrew tackle the notorious You Can't Do That.
How big is the disjuncture between the music and the lyrics? Is there any justification for defending this song in a modern context? And how do you even begin to score something like this?

This week it's the chirpy When I Get Home that falls under the Stuffology spotlight.
How much time do we think was spent on the lyrics for this particular song? How much chance is there that there will be an agreement over the song's modest merits? And does this work out to be the shortest episode of Stuffology yet?

We take a more thoughtful and melancholy turn this week as Andrew and JG tackle Things We Said Today.
Does the song deserve its great reputation? What is the difference between a horizontal and vertical melody? And what's Barbara Dickson got to do with anything?

I'll Cry Instrad - not an entirely unfair reaction to this week's track, as it turns out!
How does the country influence work out this time? How many Billy Bragg references can be squeezed into one podcast? And just how long will it take to get around to talking about the song this episode is ostensibly meant to be about?
