I just found this group on YouTube. They’ve posted about a dozen Beatles covers, all of very high quality.

I recall that when I joined this club four years ago, probably about 80% of all the posts in the general discussion forum were submitted by a total of four people (including me). A lot more folks have chimed in regularly since then, so at least we’ve had a substantial increase in participants over the long term.

Some views are up and some are down this month. Baby’s in Black and San Francisco both climbed the charts substantially. But of course, the big news is the huge upset at the very top: Please Mr. Postman / Wipe Out has been supplanted by the venerable Drive My Car as the most-viewed video! PMP has been dropping steadily for several months. Could this be a permanent changing of the guard? We’ll have to wait (oh, yes, wait a minute) and see.

I agree, Jung. Maybe it’s a matter of inertia. The Intergalactic club was around for several years before the MLT club, so I can understand how the early adopters may have found a home there that they didn’t really want to abandon, while still enjoying having access to MLT club content and being able to communicate with Mona and Lisa here.

Just speculating here, Jung, but maybe it’s a matter of people not wanting to juggle two completely separate sets of conversations and try to keep track of what they’ve said where.
