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 the second song on Help! as JG and Andrew find out what happened The Night Before.
Why does the episode start with Andrew apologosing (you know, apart from the obvious reasons....)? Does the song really... er, inspire a future band? Can it hold it's head up next to the title track?

It's time to start a new album this episode as we launch into the movie soundtrack - well, half of a movie soundtrack anyway - Help and kick off with the title track. Does it deserve to be the Big Album Opener? It's its reputation overstated? And can the song survive being covered?

We're back (Pt 2)! This is the first episode recorded post-hiatus and we return with the exciting, pulse-racing, thundering climax of a track Yes It Is (ahem).
Does the song deserve a higher status than a slightly-beloved and slightly-obscure B-side? Does the genre work for the Beatles? And can the boys keep it together after such a long recording break? (answer: ...ish?). But one question can be comprehensively answered - is it good to be back? Yes. Yes, it is!

We're back! After a rather longer-than-hoped-for hiatus thanks to JG's wobbly health, Stuffology returns with one of the all-time classics of the band's back catalogue - the mighty Ticket To Ride.
But does the song manage to live up to its titanic reputation? Does the song's reputation get in the way of actually appreciating it? And are cover versions able to do the original justice?
Note: This episode was recorded before our extended break, hence the lack of any actual reference to the fact we've been away for a bit. Still, better late than never...

It's time to put individual tracks behind us and tackle The Whole Of The Thing as this week we deal with the album Beatles For Sale. Does it continue the upward trajectory of the albums so far? How many times will the word "nascent" appear? And does the album deserve its knackered reputation?

We continue playing catch-up on Stuffologgy this week as we plug the remaining hole in Beatles For Sale with What You're Doing. Does the song manage to point to the future of what the Beatles will do? How inevitable are discussions about the Byrds? And is this the most shambolic episode yet?

It's mea culpa time on Stuffology this week. The more eagle-eyed amongst you may have noticed two tracks absent from our Beatles For Sale coverage - Every Little Thing and What You're Doing. This is because - and there's no delicate way of putting this - JG is an idiot and mis-posted. So Every Little Thing will post this week, What You're Doing next week and then after that we'll have our coverage of the album.
Aaaaaanyway.... How good is Every Little Thing anyway? How awesome is the timpani (answer: very awesome!)? And what cover version makes JG swear the air blue?

We draw a veil over Beatles For Sale with the final song on the album, George's take on Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby.
How does the song stack up against the other cover versions? Who actually wrote it? And are the live versions better than the studio recording?

It's a stroll through country, er, country this week, as I Don't Want To Spoil The Party moseys on up to the stand. Does the song work for the band? Can they embrace country as easily as other influences? Does anything about this actually, you know, work?
