"Turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream" as Dave interviews author and professor William Echard (Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada) about his book on psychedelic popular music. Dave and William discuss what psychedelic music is, how you can analyze it using the technique of topic theory, and dig deep into a discussion of the Beatles' psychedelic music.
This may change the way you hear and think about psychedelic music! Here is the link to William's book:

Episode 165: The "Hey Jude" album, aka The Beatles Again
Monday Oct 19, 2020
Monday Oct 19, 2020
By popular demand, we review the 1970 Beatles compilation album, Hey Jude (The Beatles Again), which was a huge hit particularly in the US. This album features songs not available on standard US album releases, and is a good listen, but Dave and Chris discuss the album's strengths and weaknesses. Chris also laments several times that he no longer has a poster of the front cover! We hope you enjoy our tour through another American album.
