Episode 21: 40th Anniversary of George's "Living In The Material World"

Time for some George Harrison discussion!  In this episode, Dave and Chris go track-by-track through George Harrison's 1973 album "Living In The Material World."  This album was his followup to "All Things Must Pass" and was a big hit in its time (#1).  If you're a George fan, be sure to listen to this episode featuring many song clips and in-depth analysis of the album.

Episode 20: Review of John and Yoko's "Double Fantasy"

Hear some in-depth analysis of John Lennon and Yoko Ono's 1980 album Double Fantasy, including discussion about the "stripped down" version of the album released in 2010.  This album features some of John's greatest solo songs -- and most of the Yoko tunes are pretty good too.  Really!  Please rate, comment and subscribe, and thanks as always for listening.

Episode 19: "Agree to Disagree!"

The famed "Agree to Disagree" episode is here!  Dave and Chris tackle topics that they've fought over for many years: the worst Beatles album, the song "Here Today," and whether or not Jeff Lynne was a good influence on the Beatles.  Enjoy their good-spirited banter about these and several other topics.  Share your own thoughts below.

Episode 18: Paul's Loves

Happy Valentine's Day!  Dave and Chris discuss songs written about Paul McCartney's lovely ladies through the years.  You'll hear about songs inspired by Jane Asher, Linda McCartney, and Heather Mills, as well as learn about other important McCartney ladies like Nancy Shevell and Dorothy "Dot" Roane.  Included are tunes like "And I Love Her," "Maybe I'm Amazed," "My Valentine," and many more.

Episode 17: "Please Please Me" turns 50!

Happy New Year!  Hard to believe, but the Fab Four's first album Please Please Me is 50 years old this year.  In this episode, Dave and Chris do a track-by-track analysis of the album and conclude with some thoughts on where it fits within the Beatles' catalogue. (apologies to those who downloaded earlier for a technical glitch in the middle of the first upload.  The episode has been fixed.)

Episode 16: Beatles Holiday Gifts

Happy Holidays everyone!  Thanks so much for listening to our podcast over the last year.  In this show, we discuss all kinds of gifts for the Beatlefan in your life.  We talk about new recordings, DVDs, and books all released for the holiday season.  We are looking forward to putting together more interesting, provocative, and humorous episodes together for you in 2013!
