Weekend Music Twofer
Two weeks ago, we paired the New Zealand indie rock group The Beths with The Beatles just for the hell of it, so we're doing it again today for the same reason. "Jump Rope Gazers" is from The Beths' recent eponymous album featuring their melodic textures and fine harmonies. Also, this week back in 1964, "A Hard Day's Night" started a multi- week run on the British and American charts. So, in recognition, we're going to go with "I'll Be Back," a John Lennon composition that was written for the film, but did not appear in the film's soundtrack, only in the UK album version. It was released in the U.S. on their "Beatles '65" album months later. Hope you enjoy.
