We round off the analysis - if that's the word, and it isn't - of the A Hard Day's Night album with the closing track, I'll Be Back (and not an Arnie joke in sight...er, earshot). After a fairly morose start (to the podcast, not the song), how does I'll Be Back work as an album closer? Does it manage to tie everything together? And why so much ELO discussion?

Time for something a little controversial this time out, as JG and Andrew tackle the notorious You Can't Do That.

How big is the disjuncture between the music and the lyrics? Is there any justification for defending this song in a modern context? And how do you even begin to score something like this?

This week it's the chirpy When I Get Home that falls under the Stuffology spotlight.

How much time do we think was spent on the lyrics for this particular song? How much chance is there that there will be an agreement over the song's modest merits? And does this work out to be the shortest episode of Stuffology yet?

We take a more thoughtful and melancholy turn this week as Andrew and JG tackle Things We Said Today.

Does the song deserve its great reputation? What is the difference between a horizontal and vertical melody? And what's Barbara Dickson got to do with anything?

I'll Cry Instrad - not an entirely unfair reaction to this week's track, as it turns out!

How does the country influence work out this time? How many Billy Bragg references can be squeezed into one podcast? And just how long will it take to get around to talking about the song this episode is ostensibly meant to be about?

It's time for Any Time At All to take the spotlight as this grower-not-a-shower gets the Stuffology treatment. How does it compare to the previous episode's mighty Can't Buy Me Love? Is there much there there? And what's up with Second-Half Syndrome?

It's another one of the classics this episode, as JG and Andrew tackle the might, era-defining Can't Buy Me Love.

What's going on with iterative processes? How long does it take for Pink Floyd to take a kicking? And is it possible to make a Shea Stadium reference without immediately deferring to the Rutles?

It's time to Tell Me Why on Stuffology as JG and Andrew tackle a rather forgotten song.

Does it manage to hold its place on the album? How much Star Wars talk can get squeezed into a Beatles podcast (quite a bit actually!)? Plus, if you've ever wanted to know more about the film It's Trad, Dad! - and who wouldn't? - Andrew has a real treat in store for you!

It's time to move into ballad territory this episode as JG and Andrew cover And I Love Her.

Does the song manage to land its tone of wannabe-sophistication? Of the many cover versions, which is the worst? How does George's contribution stand up?

It's a quick dash around the ballroom this episode, as George informs us he's happy just to dance with you, despite very much not sounding like it.

How does the song hang together? Does it belie its throwaway status? How many unrelated 80's references can be crammed in?
