[Somebody had to ask] Do you think it's worse than Revolution 9?

I agree it's the worst officially released non-Revolution-9 Beatles song.

So cool to see this in Soundslice format! Great work.

Just a heads up, you can remove that 0:05 "audio intro" bit at the start by using the Soundslice crop feature in the syncpoint editor.

I was there for opening night as well! Super interesting to read your take — thanks for posting it. I agree the unfinishedness of it was really surprising and off-putting. Everybody in attendance would have had a much better time had it started without delay, and I feel like the actors sensed that.

In case you're not hip to it: check out the Harry Nilsson version as well. Just as good as the original (which I don't say lightly!).

How do you split the three diamonds into individual diamonds...?

Wow, thank you reminding me of this Passamaquoddy guy. I literally haven't thought about him for 30+ years. Gotta watch the film again and see whether it holds up.

I was there too! That was hilarious. I remember he'd printed the lyrics from some random guitar tabs site.

Nope, that's not true. I don't recall a single person ever requesting ASCII tab support since I founded Soundslice in 2012. Otherwise we likely would have added it. In fact we're very responsive to users and sometimes even implement feature requests the same day they're requested.

If it were me, I'd get some locally made tortilla chips: El Ranchero (www.rancherofood.com/products/). Available at many grocery stores. Not sure whether you can get authentic tortilla chips in VA, but here in Amsterdam it's a chip desert.

Sure, here are some of my favorite blues albums:

* BB King, "Live in Cook County Jail" (similar vibe)
* Albert King, "Born Under A Bad Sign"
* Paul Butterfield Blues Band's self-titled debut album
* John Mayall, "Blues Breakers" (the "Beano" album)

"Respect" is definitely owned by Aretha Franklin despite it being an Otis Redding tune originally.

When he looks at church attendance figures, he'll be hearing "Wow, look at those low rates"
