The Beatles, Doctor Who, Steptoe, Tony Hancock and the Sopranos. Not necessarily in that order. And mainly The Beatles if truth be told.
It’s that day again. #doctorwhoday

His Name is Legs. Name me another song that references whooping cough. I’ll wait. #extratexture50

Grey Cloudy Lies. Dark, but a great song. Maybe the best thing on the album for me. George’s honesty was breathtaking at times. #extratexture50

Tired of Midnight Blue. Who hasn’t felt like this at some point? You don’t have to have been an ex-Beatle to have hit this state of mind from time to time! #extratexture50

Can’t Stop Thinking About You - a great track. Always loved this one. Gloomy? Yes. But still a cracker. #extratexture50

World of Stone sounds like a quintessential George song - both lyrically and musically; words of wisdom mixed with a fine melody. #extratexture50

‘While you attack and create offence, I put it all down to your ignorance’ has a distinct whiff of Dylan about it (not a bad thing). #extratexture50

‘Scan not a friend with a microscopic glass’ - incredibly wise words, that make more sense the older I get! #extratexture50

Always have the idea in my head that this album is a bit downcast and dull… but this opener is a banger! #extratexture50

Rewatching Capaldi’s first series all the way through for the first time since it was on. I didn’t appreciate it enough at the time, but this could well be peak New-Who... #doctorwho #petercapaldi

#nowplaying #davidbowie Yeah… not his finest. Another artist who didn’t do good Padgham.

I’m glad we got the 2025 version of Free As A Bird for the improved Lennon vocals, but I’m convinced a better mix could have been achieved. I’d definitely have bumped up the prominence of the McCartney ghost vocal to support the (now) more obviously hesitant Lennon delivery.

And, coincidentally, a spurious link to tonight’s listening party spotted today in a pub in London… #maccachaos20 #iykyk

Well there we have it.
Thanks everyone for your comments tonight.
It’s great that once a month for 40 minutes or so we can forget about the crap that’s going on around us and lose ourselves in music.
Top company as always!
Look after yourselves and we’ll do another one soon!

Glad I could join you from my hotel room for this listening party. Confirms once again that this is very near the top of the solo Macca albums for me. What a roll he was on - with MAF any Electric Arguments just down the road. Good times! Thanks once again to @johnp69.bsky.social for organising!

I’ve Only Got Two Hands. Macca does love a hidden track. And why not? #Maccachaos20
September 13, 2025 at 8:46 PM
Anyway - I think this a tremendous closer to the album. The Macca optimism is back after a very introspective and - at times - dark album. Fab. #Maccachaos20
September 13, 2025 at 8:43 PM
This Never Happened Before. Strong song, but I doubt the wisdom of double-banking two piano ballads to close the album -and I prefer Anyway. I’d have substituted the b-side This Loving Game for this one. #Maccachaos20
