I'm already subscribed to the list but I haven't received anything yet. :(
ReplyDelete"coming SOON" hopefully Monday - just working on uploading and the email campaign etc
DeleteHi Matt I've been following this blog for quite a while now and I must say you deserve much thanks and praise for the work you've done here.
ReplyDeleteI was a little bit disappointed with this episode to be honest because of the lack of new content in terms of songwriting material. You've discussed the idea of the Beatles re-using chord progressions before I believe, as you have a video showing the similarities between the chords of For No One and Something. However it was interesting to hear Hoopshank's take on Yellow Submarine which was surprisingly good (considering I've no idea who he is nor am I a fan of prog rock).
I was wondering when you'll finish the songs on The White Album and move on to the next album as it's been a while. (Not that I'm trying to make you rush! Please take your time. I'm just eager to learn more from these songwriting geniuses lol)
Also, is there any way to get access to the older podcast episodes? 'Cause I've only caught 6 and now 7. I've missed the first 5 because I wasn't a member yet.
Anyways, keep up the great work and enjoy the holidays.
Hi Matthew, thanks for taking the time to comment. Reusing/re-presenting insights is a deliberate strategy I'm afraid as I continue to gain additional insights (that Help also uses a similar progression) so I'm afraid if you stick around for long enough you are gonna hear me repeat myself! I'm also continually exploring what is the best format for presenting my research - audio/video/print - and I've not found Youtube to be that effective for me (the video you mentioned has gained only 600 views in 6 years - so although you've seen it, most haven't) and Youtube keeps taking them down anyway.
DeleteI'm hoping to progress with the White Album this year, other commitments allowing, but am not sure which album I do next...
Drop me an email about old episodes and I'll see what I can do - just reply to the mailing list one you got for episode 7
Love the bumpers! (I hope I live long enough to be able to read Mark Lewisohn's thick books). I visited Liverpool last October, it was great to see all the famous sites.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Let me know if you head back to the UK!
