It’s Beatles time. 🎸

In this episode:
🎶 The White Album — 30 songs, total chaos, and why it still feels iconic
💿 “Dear Prudence” and other deep cuts that found new life in Across the Universe
🕰 The Beatles’ entire career… in six years? (Seriously, if they broke up today, they’d have started in 2019)
🎤 One-take Beatles vs. the 70s studio perfectionists
🥁 Danger Mouse’s wild move: using only Beatles sounds — no extra beats
⚡ The kicker? He did the whole thing in just two weeks
🎧 Why mashups hit that sweet spot between nostalgia and discovery
🚀 Next up: a track-by-track look at The Grey Album and where it lives (and doesn’t) online

For anyone who loves music history, production wizardry, or just the thrill of “I know that song AND that song” — this one’s for you.
