Also, I didn't scream about it on Thursday + Friday. But did anyone listen to the new Beatles song? I really like it, I know a lot of people don't and that's fair. I mean it's moreso a John song but I know he wrote it and was going to give it to Paul as a "comeback" song, but obviously Paul changed some parts and the fact that it was originally not a great sound to begin with. But I think that it's a really nice send off.

The music video is very cheesy though, and tonally all over the place. But that's kind of what The Beatles are, they will have some very horny lyrics in an otherwise romantic song. Or they have some fantastic songs like on Revolver there's Here, There and Everywhere but then the next song is Yellow Submarine. So while jarring, the music video really sort of suits the vibe. What do y'all think? Here's just the audio and here's the music video.

We played it on Friday night I thought it was OK. Not bad not great just kind of background music.

Understandable. I ended up buying the vinyl for it. Though had to get it through their actual website which cost me $44 inclu. shipping, as the local Australian store that they're partnered with sold out (JB Hi-Fi also doesn't have it). So more expensive, but it's the clear version and considering that that included shipping... not bad.

But yeah, mum and I love it. But I also understand why some might be apprehensive about it.

I think when you buy albums they have a special meaning to the purchaser. I'm not an album person, I'm more of an individual song person if that makes sense but if you were a Beatles fan I can totally understand why you would buy it.

BTW we play a lot of Beatles on a Friday night because they make great drunken sing-alongs.

Has anyone used the new container deposit scheme machines yet? There's one down the road from us, and we had a house-warming on Saturday so there's heaps of beer cans and bottles to recycle, probably a whole $3 worth!

I'm happy to work from home today (boss didn't see the point in coming into work today if tomorrow will be a day off, so still working, just don't have to put on a bra which is great). But man... being distracted because I want to do other things.

I don't know how I would've gone if I did this during the lockdowns.
