h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Just been mixing up some Beatles tunes for a theatre production.

Bigods, it still sounds good nearly fifty years on. I can't think of another artist who would have me doing little dances around the living room as I proof-listened.

Even Octopus's Garden sounds better than I remember.

I'm completely dry, I'll have you know.

There's none of the really weird stuff - mostly light and frothy stuff for house music to keep the audience in the mood: Twist & Shout, Maxwell's Silver Hammer, Day Tripper, stuff like that. I don't really see Revolution #9 as being in keeping with the youth theatre production.

I'm currently in the midst of an oft-repeated exercise: of accompanying my drive to and from work with The Beatles albums in chronological order. One a week.

I'm up to A Hard Day's Night.

And each time I listen I find something new to marvel at

Oooh, hello stranger. How's life in the Antipodes?

Life here's good thank you And that's despite getting on for 10,000 earthquakes in the last 17 months

Nice to see popping in too

There's a missing "you" there, obviously.

Well we're missing you too old girl.

Hi McKay

Have a loo brush and welcome back.

I'm so glad the loo brush has survived the hootoo change-over

Thank you Mackay

I hate to boast, but did you know how wonderful it sounds to insert 'Octopuses Garden' into the final fade of 'Magical Mystery Tour'?

Cor...
