Working in a bell factory, after a while you get used to the sound of the bells.

A Venn diagram showing the Beatle songs (released 1962-1970) that didn’t feature all four Beatles.
Just found this - I did it over ten years ago as part of a planned bigger project and never posted it anywhere at the time.

The famous guitar riff for Guns N' Roses' "Sweet Child o' Mine" originated from a "circus melody" warm-up played by guitarist Slash during a 1986 jam session.
While Slash played the riff in a joking manner, bandmate Izzy Stradlin recognized its potential, and the band built the song around it.

Now that the heavy roller is done with for another year and the sight screen is receiving a lick of paint, why not read 11,030 words by me on the joy and despair of cricket? That's 1000 for each player and an extra 30 for the 12th man at silly mid on.

Fascinating 1972 letters from John to Paul, proposing a joint performance with The Rolling Stones at the One to One gigs. And, perhaps, a show in Ireland.

They’d previously met up on 29th Jan ‘72 (the day before Bloody Sunday)

On this day in 1963, The Beatles recorded every single one of their 213 songs in a four hour session, to be released in batches over the following seven years. Incredible stuff.
