Episode 257: All Things Beatles Anthology!

We're back to discuss all things Anthology! We do a review of Anthology 4, as well as the Disney+ Anthology series in detail, and even have a strong disagreement about the new remixes of the "Threetles" songs! ("Free As A Bird" and "Real Love"). What do you think? Are you into all the Anthology hype?

Here's the fan site mentioned in the episode -- this person catalogued all the differences between the versions of the Anthology series.

Episode 255: Review of "Power To The People: Live At the One To One Concerts"

We are back after a hiatus to discuss the new release of the "One to One" concert from 1972 featuring John Lennon, Yoko Ono, and Elephant's Memory. This concert appears in a beautifully remixed version that substantially improves over the 1986 John Lennon: Live in New York City release. But how does the concert hold up all these years later, and what about the set list, performances, and political messaging? We dig into all of it! Because only the concert was available on streaming (as of the time of recording), we do not discuss the other parts of the Power to the People box set, but we plan to do that as discs get released over the next few months.

Episode 254: "Help!" at 60!

We take a break from all the news to look at an album that sometimes gets overlooked in the Beatles canon: 1965's Help! It's not just a movie, but a great listening experience as an album (the UK version, in particular). We talk about the album, all the songs, its lyrical themes, its place in the Beatles' output, and what it foreshadows for future albums. Enjoy!

Episode 253: Songs Under the Microscope, Vol. 35: George Harrison, "This Song"

Dave and Chris go back into the lab to discuss a quirky, satirical song about the copyright lawsuit leveled against George Harrison in 1976 called "This Song." As always, we discuss the musical arrangement, the lyrics, the musical allusions, and the witty lyrics. And make sure you watch the accompanying video to see some "guest stars" you might recognize!:

Episode 252: Ranking Paul McCartney's Live Albums

At the suggestion of a listener, we rank Paul McCartney’s officially released live albums—that is, no video-only releases, bootlegs, or unofficial recordings. We explore the pros and cons of live albums in general, how Paul assembles them, the bands he’s played with, and the song choices for each release. We also share some ideas for future re-releases we’d love to see. As always, we wrap up with the latest news (and noting the passing of Brian Wilson and Sly Stone) as of our recording date and some listener feedback.

(Ignore the report about James McCartney's "wedding" - it was an AI bot story)

Have your own ranking? Share it with us by email or on social media. Enjoy the episode!
