#also the station mentioned above that 'broke' Klaatu (WBRU) was my high school mainstay so shout out to 95.5

TIL: In 1976, the Beatles secretly reunited under the name Klaatu, obscuring their identities by including no names or biographical information on their records and offering as their only clue the name of the alien from the same film that Ringo Starr had referenced on the cover of his LP Goodnight Vienna. Also, it kinda sounds like something they could have made almost ten years previously. And like, they have multiple songs about the sun! Look up there, it’s a sun! Who else could it be? 

According to sources I found, the above mentioned “Providence Journal Rock Critic” was not actually a journalist or rock expert nor did he work for the PJ, so good on him getting far enough with his wild 70s speculations that someone in 2022 mentioned it to me over coffee the other day.

So yeah. You’re welcome--the Beatles DID get back together, it was in 1976, and it’s... okay?
