It’s rare when someone covering one of George’s songs can do it justice. The songs are a lot more complex than people realize and they are difficult to nail.

The Analogues did a great job with this song, as they do with all Beatle songs.

I gave it an upvote the second I saw that headstock! It's really good though seriously.

This prolly doesn't qualify as "grumpy" enough but IMO Poodles are the best damn dogs in the world! We're on our second now; first was a sweet big Standard female, now we've got a Mini male. Both were/are so intelligent it's scary sometimes... The little guy (Sparky) does bite our fingers occasionally tho; he get's far too excited over 'treats'! -But he's smart, he's smart..... :rolleyes: (Really!!)
We've also got a very stupid, nasty cat. (Mrs Katz). She bullies Sparky... I'm in my 80's and my ol'lady is too, but a bit older. (Which I always remind her about...) So yes, it get's pretty crabby abound here sometimes...
Give me a number. I deserve it... :eyebrow:

Right on.

Odin is very gentle with treats. The only time he ever snapped hurriedly — that surprised me greatly! — was with another dog in the vicinity.

There's no other breed I'd consider now.

The cat is smarter than both of them put together. Here's an example of their relative IQ levels: The cat can open a door as long as it's not latched, she has several ways of doing this, she'll just push it open with her front paws and if that doesn't work she'll run at it and get up on her hind legs and push it with what little body weight she has. If the door is not open quite wide enough for the dog, Bobby, he will stand there patiently peering through the door until someone opens it for him, at least the little female dog is smart enough to push through the door if it's open enough for her to get her snout into, but not Bobby. ~SNIP~

Yes, their IQ's are relative... And yes, cats definitely understand doors a whole lot better than dogs. But try pointing to a spot where you want the cat to go and see where that get's you... Or calling one by name to come to you. Or telling it to stop doing something and having it comply. Or catching a treat in mid air... Or taking a walk with a cat off-leash and having it stay by you!
Then there's this: Our very old little mini poodle Sparky did me one better by going completely deaf in his aging process. But he's figured out (or just instinctly understands?) some broad sign language. For instance once you get eye contact with him he knows and complys with the universal hand wave to "come follow me", plus a sign for stop or stay (or 'down'!), plus one for "NO!", and yet another double hand wave sign for "that's all for now, there ain't no more."

Try doing any of this stuff with our big and mean ol' cat Mrs Katz and she'll just stare dumbly at you, probably wondering why we're doing the Lindy Hop in her face! o_O -But then try to get some privacy in the bathroom? Sheeeesh! -Unless the door is tightly latched, SCRATCH-CLAW-BAM!!, she's right in there with you!
And so my days of blissfully reading Bass Player magazine peacefully alone on the throne are now gone forever!! :rollno:
Regards,
Greywoulf
