The Beatles Stuffology Podcast

It's time for George's third go-around on Revolver as I Want To Tell You takes its spot in the limelight. Can George justify an unprecedented three songs on an album? Does the song succeed in capturing the uncapturable flow of ideas he wanted to express? And just what could put Andrew off JG? (You know, apart from everything)

Time to visit a medical practitioner for this episode as JG and Andrew pay a visit to Doctor Robert.

Is it really about some alleged New York doctor? Is the NHS a worthy recipient of a Lennon lyric? And can the Beat Bugs really be the best cover version of this song?

This podcast is definitely for someone but also, in a very real sense, For No One.

Does the song's air of detached melancholy work? How good is that solo? And can any of the cover versions manage to capture the austere distance of the original?

Time for something tuneful this episode as JG and Andrew tackle And Your Bird Can Sing. Does the song maintain the quality of the album? How much fun can be contained in one song? And are there any interesting cover versions?

It's time to let a little light into our lives this time out as Good Day Sunshine emerges from behind the clouds to kick off Side 2.

How does the song work as an opener for the second side? Are there any outstanding moments? And why (oh why, oh why) does Robbie Williams's godawful "Angels" get a mention? Plus, "excitingly", how long can two old men ramble on for before getting to the sodding point already?

Surrealism, pretentious, or something else is the question posed as Revolver's first side bows out with She Said, She Said.

Does the song round the first side off in a satisfactory way? Does it suffer from (probably) not having McCartney on it? And what has Peggy Suicide got to do with any of this?

It's time for a brightly-lit stroll down happiness lane as Yellow Submarine joyfully bobs into sight.

Why is the song compared to A Day In The Life? Is it "just" a children's song or is there really a deeper meaning? And how many films can be inspired by Beatles song titles?

Time for some balladeering on Stuffology this episode as Here, There, And Everywhere wafts into view.

Is McCartney right when he describes this as his best song? Was Lennon? And does the song work as a capital-S Standard?

Time for some full-on Indian music for the first time in the Beatles career as George gives us the curiously-named Love You To.

Does the song work as an expression of Indian music? How sincere do we think it actually is? And does the lyric manage to match the music?

It's time for a little nap this episode as I'm Only Sleeping drifts soporifically into sight.

Does the song work as in invocation of dreams? Is there a broader metaphysical interpretation that can stand? And what do we mean when we talk about psychedelia as a term in music?
