I need a new hobby that has nothing to do with anything I've done before but also doesn't require learning any new information or skills.

Alternate universe where the White Album was divided into a John disc and a Paul one, with a bonus George EP and a Ringo single.
Finally made separate playlists for Paul & John’s White Album songs. Result: I’m amazed anyone, including myself, was ever surprised by McCartney’s 70s LPs, because his WA songs are clearly a Wings album: bangers, pastiches, ballads, throwaways. As for Lennon’s, they make for his greatest LP ever.
