SignUp Now!Is Paul basically strumming two-string chords on a bass? It sounds almost like Presidents of the USA.
The thing is that they basically did that all day. So you're seeing one of the ones that actually stuck.What I find most incredible about this is the context – Paul's like OK well I guess I need to write a song right now, so I'll fuck around for a bit and what comes out is "Get Back" for fuck's sake.
Lots and lots of music is produced by jamming or messing around or by accident, but it's wild to see him relatively rapidly conjure up a classic song like that, apparently from a starting point of zero inspiration whatsoever.

They're a lot more engaged in Episode #2 and #3. In fact, they all seem to be having a ton of fun. But they still spend 60% of their time just messing around (doing covers, doing silly versions of their own songs, and so on).The thing is that they basically did that all day.

Yeah that's a good point. There probably was quite a bit of garbage in those sessions, especially since most of them seem barely engaged. I'm not too deep into this yet. Kinda watching in fits and starts between other things.
I've been making a "My Favorite Beatles" playlist. I'll post it here when I'm done.One of my dark secrets as a quote-unquote musician is that I’ve never paid much attention to the Beatles except in a very superficial way. I guess I should probably change that.
Possibly the closest thing is Radiohead, but their first album was far less conventional than the Beatles' first several. So the shift wasn't as large. And they were also never the #1 band in the world. It's difficult to imagine Taylor Swift making the modern version of Sgt. Pepper's.
Being there is brilliant. My intro to Wilco
My favorite Wilco is easily A Ghost Is Born. I like Yankee Hotel Foxtrot but never understood why it was considered their best.
