I’ve Got a Beatles Podcast!

In this episode, we discuss John Lennon's "Cold Turkey" and the B-side "Don't Worry Kyoko" by Yoko Ono, the second of two singles by John Lennon in 1969. As always, we talk about the music and lyrics, the recording context, as well as play cover songs.

In this episode, we dig into the many connections between the Beatles and the Rolling Stones from their beginnings to the present. These two groups competed with each other to some extent, but were good friends and collaborators and seem to have a strong affection for one another. Enjoy!

In this episode, Dave interviews Brian Hebert, the author of Blue Notes and Sad Chords: Color-Coded Harmony in the Beatles' 27 #1 Hits:

In the first of an occasional series where we look at a particular year in the Beatles' story, we examine the year 1984 and what was happening in Beatlesworld. Paul released his flop movie Give My Regards To Broad Street, John's Milk and Honey was released posthumously, Ringo did some TV work and hosted SNL, and George made a guest appearance with another famous British group. Oh, and a Beatle son released his first and most successful album. We discuss what other music was like during that year, and why the Beatles were particularly adrift and lost in their creative careers.

We're back after a bit of a hiatus with a new episode digging into Ringo Starr's 1972 single, "Back Off Boogaloo." We talk about the music and lyrics, sample some covers (including a Czech one for Dave!), and even get into a little disagreement about Ringo's brother-in-law, Joe Walsh. 

We're back now, so stay tuned for more episodes soon!

In the first of an occasional series, we look at important gigs in the Beatles' career. This episode examines the Beatles' performances in late December 1962 at the Star Club in Hamburg, Germany. We discuss the set list, the sound of the group, place this gig into context, and discuss how important Hamburg was for the Beatles. Enjoy!

In this episode, we explore some of the great (and interesting, of course) covers of George Harrison songs. We'll discuss covers by Harrison's friends like Harry Nilsson and Tom Petty, as well as many other lesser-known artists who pay tribute to George's music by recording his songs.

Our first episode of 2019 is a review of the streaming version (2 disc) of Paul's Red Rose Speedway remaster and bonus tracks. We get into all the issues and songs with plenty of Paul histrionics, stoned tunes, some weird lyrics, and of course the big medley at the end of the album. Hope you enjoy the episode!

For our final episode of 2018, go under the microscope once more with us as we examine Cream's 1968 song "Badge," co-written by Eric Clapton and... L'Angelo Mysterioso? Find out who that is, what we think the song means, what's happening in the music, and of course, you'll hear some unusual covers (including a non-English version). 

Thanks for your support in 2018, and we look forward to even more Beatle fun in 2019!
