(Impossibly) High Standards
Aka Sha la la la la ….

Uh, oh, many, many, many nights go by,
I sit alone at home and I cry over you.
What can I do.
Can't help myself, 'cause.... ---- Baby, It's You.

Gosh they set the bar awful high, didn’t they? They didn’t need to. They didn’t need to be perfect. Not yet. This wasn’t jazz. Or Dylan. But, they did. And thus they changed the whole game for Pop music. Made an art form of it right from the start. This stuff wasn't disposable. This was for keeps! How else to explain those guitars on "Anna (Go to Him)" ?! Or the harmonica that kicks off "Chains?"

Now, I'm not saying this is a perfect album. They're not Dylan level yet! There are still a few throwaways. Songs that I wouldn’t bother putting on a playlist. Like “Boys.” That song is relatively useless to me. And I find the vocals on “Ask Me Why” rather grating.

BUT, as pretty much the opening salvo for the British Invasion, I can't help but be a bit weak in the knees. Lovable mop tops indeed!

Bad Love & Big Balls

I don't like you
BUT I love u
You treat me badly
I love u madly...

The best Beatle's cover EVAH?! It's Smokey Robinson & The Miracles of course! I just love how the song staggers and almost peters out like the guitars are about to grind to a halt. That, my dear friends, foreshadows their genius to come about as well as just about anything. It's only 1963, and they ALREADY have the balls to fuck with a Smokey Robinson song?! Those are some big balls!

Ain't gonna lie! The Beatles version blows Smokey's away. Less sugar. More bitter! Just like I like my drinks! Sick Barkeep, keep 'em a-comin'!!!
