Possibly my favourite Beatles cover.
Chicago's Ramsey Lewis transforms John's sparse Julia into this floaty, soaring, funky thing. In fact, Lewis did an entire album of tracks only from the White Album.
This and lots more groovy Beatles covers in the latest show: youtu.be/m6KVxgsYFWE

Nice concept. I get similar vibes from this Londonbeat track which @officialcharts.bsky.social confirms peaked over Christmas 1988.

It’s the calm before the storm as we head into the last week of voting.
For what it’s worth this is probably the most wide open F50 we’ve ever had. I have absolutely no idea where this one’s going.

John and Yoko ripping off Peter, Paul and Mary? Not quite. Their melody comes from Skewball, an old folk song about an eighteenth century racehorse. It’s been around for more than two hundred years.

First year selling my art at Christmas without the Other site, where most of my sales came from, as well as losing US orders to new tariffs, so it'll be a tough one - I put huge work into every order, so even if you can't buy, shares help get them in front of eyes. GRMA! www.ciaraioch.com/artprints

Pitchfork described it as ‘a corroded beat-centric grunge that soundtracks stories of violence and perseverance’.
Yet not so much love for Benjamin Booker’s sensational third LP, LOWER. Bah.
