The Beatles Stuffology Podcast

Stuffology is off to the circus as we bring the first side of Sgt Pepper to a close with Being For The Benefit of Mr Kite.

Does the song provide a suitable conlusion to the first half of the album? What's Beowulf got to do with anything? And is the song appropriately evocative?

It's a reflective time on Stuffology (well, as reflective as we ever get at any rate) as it's time to deal with drama of She's Leaving Home.

Is the song really a kitchen-sink drama? How does the change of producer affect things? And does the song manage to land its melancholy tone?

Produced By: JG McQuarrie, and not AI. Not once, not ever, as Dubstar once said.

Despite the announcement at the end of last episode (er, sorry about that - JG), it is, in fact, time for us to be Fixing a Hole.

Was JG's missing of the track indicative of its overall quality? How does it thematically connect to the rest of the album? And is it really about drugs or just faffing about at home?

As we would also hope for the podcast, things are, this week, Getting Better.

Does the song manage to improve upon its predecessor? Is it just (just!) an album track? And how much of one episode can be spent on cover versions?

The podcast has survived the trials and tribulations of With a Little Help... so it's time to move on to some acid-imagery with Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds (or is it just a child's painting that inspired it? Take a guess).

Is the song really as significant as some will tell you? Does the lyric actually stand up to any kind of analysis? And is it an easy song to cover?
