We resume our Monolith of Phobos coverage with Mr. Wright, which contains a very Beatle-esque bass lick that drives a lyrical story about a distasteful voyeur. Kello Gonzlez zjoins us to model the bass part and to explain Les Claypool's singular talent in terms of writing strong licks that can carry a four-minute track, and remarks about the Lennon-Claypool connection.

It's one of the biggest albums of the late 1980's. No, not “Small World”, Huey Lewis & The News' misguided attempt at a jazz-pop record that sadly gave us a song called “Bobo Tempo”, and can be found in near mint condition for a dollar in used record bins across the country. Rather, dear bleeder, it's George Harrison's comeback album, “Cloud 9”. Led by its spirited cover of “Got My Mind Set On You”, and the unofficial theme to Disney's Mulan (“Breath Away from Heaven”), this is a record that's held up through the years as one of the best by a solo Beatle not named “Pete”. Tony & T.J. continue their deep-dish of this legendary album, as they explore questions about fonts, album covers, Weird Al, random Billy Joel deep cuts, and more; like:

From the earliest days of executive search to shaping the leadership of companies like Netflix, Facebook, Google, and Spotify, few people have seen more of Silicon Valley's hiring successes—and failures—than Jeff Markowitz and Peter Clarke.In this exclusive episode of Truth Works, host Jessica Neal sits down with two of her closest professional allies and heavyweights in the world of venture capital and executive talent. Together, the three share over 30 years of experience navigating the highest-stakes hiring environments in the tech world.Jeff Markowitz, currently an advisor at Greylock Partners, shares the incredible story of being hand-picked by Google CEO Sundar Pichai to reshape senior leadership at Alphabet. Peter Clarke, a Talent Partner at Accel for over 13 years, opens up about the evolution of search and his role as a "fifth Beatle" in the founding of True Search.This conversation goes beyond standard interview advice. The trio pulls back the curtain on:Why most companies get hiring wrong, even today.The dangers of "war for talent" thinking vs. relationship building.The specific simulation techniques the best leaders use to interview.The critical, and often missing, step of referencing as a management playbook.How great CEOs, like Scott Dietzen (formerly of Pure Storage), learn the job before they even make the hire.The one question Jessica asks to immediately identify a truly great recruiter.Whether you're a founder looking to make your first executive hire, a leader struggling to build a balanced team, or a recruiter looking to level up from "salesy" to strategic, this is a masterclass you cannot afford to miss.Timestamps: – Intro: Reconnecting with friends. – Peter Clarke's unique career path: Graphic design to software engineer to executive search. – Accel's unique investing approach and portfolio impact. – Jeff Markowitz's journey: CPA to opening the Silicon Valley office to Greylock. – The call from Sundar Pichai: Mapping out the senior talent role at Google/Alphabet. – Why hiring is still so hard (and wrong) in 2026. – The flaw in prioritizing "diligence" over assessment. – The true cost of a bad hire (and why it's not what you think). – Moving beyond standard questions to "unfiltered conversations." – How to simulate working together during the interview process. – The best CEOs get this one thing right (Pure Storage example). – How can CEOs really identify great recruiting talent? – Closing thoughts on friendship and mutual career impact.
Episode 282 of Tom Clark's 6M Podcast is a review of the documentary Paul McCartney: Man on the Run. Tom is joined by Phil Lindsey and Chris Patton for a deep dive into Paul McCartney in the years following the breakup of The Beatles, focusing on his attempt to reinvent himself through solo work and the formation of Wings. The conversation looks at how the documentary frames McCartney's transition from Beatle to bandleader, the personal and creative risks he took in the 1970s, and the complicated dynamics inside Wings as Paul tried to balance leadership, collaboration, and family life with Linda McCartney by his side. Does Man on the Run successfully reframe the Wings era and McCartney's post-Beatles legacy, and what does it reveal about one of the most influential musicians in rock history?

1er septembre 1973, nous sommes au cœur de l'Afrique, au Nigeria, un pays étonnant dont les incroyables ressources en pétrole, gaz, fer et charbon ont produit une société à deux vitesses. Sa capitale, Lagos, est une ville étonnante, grouillante de population, polluée sous un climat tropical, et ceinturée de forêts luxuriantes.Alors qu'est-ce que vient y faire Paul McCartney, ancien leader des Beatles qui n'ont jamais vendu autant de disques avec les rééditions de tous les 45 Tours et des deux doubles 33 Tours, rouge et bleu ? Pas y fêter son premier succès mondial, Live and Let Die… Un triomphe, comme le film d'ailleurs, qui impose un nouvel acteur dans les habits de James Bond.Et bien figurez-vous que c'est encore une de ses idées à lui pour tirer le meilleur de sa créativité. Maintenant qu'il est bien rôdé avec un nouveau groupe, il compte y retrouver les grandes heures qui lui ont permis d'enregistrer des disques novateurs comme Sgt Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band, tellement génial que quelques jours après sa sortie, Jimi Hendrix, en faisait déjà un cover sur scène, Paul avait éprouvé un indicible frisson en assistant au concert.Et donc, il demande à EMI, la multinationale qui le distribue, où ils possédent des studios. Un peu partout dans le Commonwealth. Los Angeles, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, Athènes. Oui, euh, vous n'avez rien de plus … exotique ? Exotique ? Attendez … Johannesbourg, Bombay, Hong Kong, Lagos … Lagos, c'est où ? Au Nigeria.Paul se voyait en touriste la journée avec son band, au boulot le soir et la nuit, ce n'est pas exactement ça qui se produit. Déjà, juste avant le grand départ, il perd son bassiste et son batteur qui n'ont pas envie de risquer leur vie dans ce coupe-gorge. On leur en a parlé de Lagos !Et donc, les Wings sont réduit à trois quand, sortis de l'aéroport, ils découvrent des rues encombrées et des trottoirs débordant de miséreux, de malades, errant devant des maisons délabrées … et un studio entouré de hauts murs protégés par des bouquets de fils barbelés. Ambiance. Un studio … pas exactement comme celui d'Abbey Road. Un matériel très ancien, des micros qui ont souffert, des pièces mal insonorisées où il règne une chaleur humide insupportable. Et si ce n'était que ça. Rentrant un soir avec Linda, Paul subit un vol à main armée, entendez-moi, les mecs ont des armes de guerre, et perd ainsi les cassettes démos de tous ses titres. Il est aussi dérangé par Ginger Baker, l'ancien batteur du groupe Cream et partenaire d'Eric Clapton, expatrié là-bas, et franchement menacé par Fela, pape du jazz africain, et surtout chef tribal, qui n'entend pas non plus qu'un ex-Beatle enregistre à Lagos sans son autorisation.Mais rien n'y fait, on n'arrête pas un passionné, Paul arrondit les angles, sympathise avec tout le monde et enregistre un album aux sonorités franchement nouvelles, la pochette d'ailleurs, fallait oser. Le disque fait un triomphe montrant que, contre toute attente, non seulement, il peut y avoir un “après Beatles” mais surtout qu'il en était la machine débridée à entraîner la création. Et un musicien de scène qui n'a depuis jamais perdu l'enthousiasme de se retrouver face à un public …
Février 1971, Paul McCartney enfile le veston qu'il portait deux ans plus tôt sur la pochette de l'album déjà mythique, Abbey Road. Seule différence, il ne se rendra pas pieds nus mais avec de belles chaussures, à son audience devant la Haute Cour de Londres où il va demander la dissolution des Beatles et de son contrat avec leur manager. En effet, le redoutable requin américain leur avait fait accepter de mettre même les revenus de leurs carrières solos dans leur label Apple. Il gardait donc la main sur tout et McCartney pouvait vendre autant de disques qu'il voulait, il allait continuer à gagner peu d'argent.Oh ça ne le dérange pas, vous savez. La preuve : il s'apprête à faire un truc impensable, une fois son procès gagné, un procès qui l'a affecté car il a été obligé de l'intenter contre ses copains d'adolescence. C'est la guerre ! Ainsi, il fait venir de New York les musiciens avec qui il vient d'enregistrer son nouvel album solo, RAM, une merveille entre nous, hein, même si la presse le descend joyeusement. Et quand les gars arrivent dans son repère de la presqu'île de Kintyre, ils découvrent qu'ils ne sont pas là pour des vacances écossaises mais pour créer un vrai groupe qui va enregistrer, là, dans cette ferme spartiate, au milieu des moutons.Le guitariste repart aussitôt pour New York mais les autres restent, alors Paul file au village téléphoner à Londres à son pote Denny Laine, ex-guitariste et chanteur des Moody Blues … ah non, c'est pas lui qui chante ce tube immortel des Moody blues, c'est Justin Hayward, le gars qui l'a remplacé quand il s'est barré en 1966. Qu'est-ce qu'il est devenu depuis, Denny Laine ? Et ben, pas grand chose, la preuve, après le coup de fil, il rapplique aussitôt après avoir accepté un salaire à la semaine.Paul a trouvé un nom pour ce groupe, Wings, les ailes, comme s'il allait s'envoler à nouveau. Et repartir vraiment à zéro, avec un premier album quasiment improvisé à la pochette bucolique, un peu trop d'ailleurs, on le reconnaît à peine. Tout comme la tournée. C'est vrai ! Après quelques coups de fil donnés depuis le village, les voilà partis avec un petit camion de location et un mini van dans lequel ils s'entassent. Oui, alors qu'il aurait été si simple de jouer sur le nom de Paul McCartney, ex-Beatle, toutes les portes se seraient ouvertes, Paul veut rejouer ses débuts. Ainsi en février 1972, une étudiante responsable d'un cercle de l'université de Nottingham se retrouve devant deux jeunes chevelus qui lui demandent s'ils ont une salle. Ben oui ? Vous pourriez venir, on est avec un artiste qui voudrait jouer ici ce soir ? Imaginez sa tête quand arrivée sur le trottoir, elle reconnaît dans le van, Paul McCartney qui lui tend la main, en disant qu'il est d'accord de jouer aux entrées.Le concert aura lieu le lendemain finalement, devant plus de 750 jeunes, imaginez l'ambiance. Et même s'il n'y aura pas une seule chanson des Beatles, le premier concert de Paul depuis ce stade de San Francisco en 1966 est une réussite. Ils ont même gagné 30 livres sterling chacun.
My guest today is Dan Absher, who joins me to discuss his book 'The Fab Four Pillars of Impact'. Dan's book looks at The Beatles as the ultimate case study for building exceptional teams and examines how each Beatle and the people around fulfilled a role in the organisation, why this was successful and why ultimately, they failed.
Dans cet épisode du podcast "Le Journal Imprévisible", Augustin Lefebvre explore les multiples facettes de la carrière solo de Paul McCartney, l'emblématique ex-membre des Beatles. Bien que connu pour ses succès pop, Sir Paul a en effet mené une carrière foisonnante, se lançant dans des projets musicaux expérimentaux, collaborant avec des artistes aux styles variés, et même en tentant une incursion dans le cinéma. De ses compositions orchestrales pour le London Symphony Orchestra aux morceaux électroniques avec le groupe The Fireman, en passant par ses contributions à des bandes-son de jeux vidéo, l'auditeur découvre la curiosité et la créativité sans limites de cet artiste prolifique, toujours en quête de nouveaux défis musicaux.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Laurence Juber is an acclaimed guitarist, composer, and former lead guitarist with Paul McCartney's band Wings.His journey began in London during the explosion of Beatlemania. Inspired by The Beatles' revolutionary sound, he picked up the guitar as a child and quickly developed into a versatile and highly skilled musician. His early ambition was to become a studio guitarist, and by his early twenties he was already working in some of London's most prestigious recording studios alongside legendary producers and artists.Everything changed in 1978 when Laurence received a call from Paul McCartney's office inviting him to audition for Wings. After impressing both McCartney and Denny Laine, he joined the band and contributed to the Back to the Egg album, touring and recording with one of the most influential musicians of all time.Laurence reflects on what it was really like working with Paul and Linda McCartney, the creative environment within Wings, and the profound personal and professional impact of that experience.Following Wings, Laurence moved to Los Angeles, where he built a remarkable career as a studio musician, contributing to iconic film soundtracks including Dirty Dancing, Good Will Hunting, and Pocahontas, and recording with artists such as Belinda Carlisle, Eric Carmen, and Al Stewart.Over time, Laurence discovered his true artistic voice as a solo acoustic fingerstyle guitarist. He has since released more than 30 solo albums, earned a Grammy Award, and become internationally recognised for his expressive, innovative guitar work — including his acclaimed acoustic interpretations of Beatles songs.This conversation offers rare insight into life inside Wings, the creative genius of Paul McCartney, and Laurence's lifelong dedication to music as both craft and calling.
Today we talked about the New York accent, which apparently is dying off. Robots have been going rogue everywhere! We discovered who the first Beatle was to try marijuana, another ridiculous emotional support animal made the news, and we shared our Penny Power peeves of the week! Oh, and a certain song set Rick off, so we shared the small things that are pure torture to us personally. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Not Ready for Prime Time Podcast: The Early Years of SNL
Steve Martin returns to host SNL for his 8th time. He won't return to the show (aside from a memorable cameo) for over 6 years. Perhaps it was because of the deer outfit they had him wear?Steve hosting Saturday Night Live gets overshadowed by one of the very few people who could pull off such a feat at the time – Paul McCartney. Hiding out in London after his public drug bust, the ex-Beatle was supposed to open the show. But, due to the time change, a mix-up ensued and the runner about getting Paul on the air (he's debuting the video for his first solo single in 10 years) is the centerpiece of this episode.The episode is fine and Steve does a good job of having fun (especially when paired with Bill or Gilda), but one of SNL's greatest hosts leaves the original era on a whimper.Oh, aside from Paul McCartney's music video we also get an in-studio performance from 3-D!---------------------------------Subscribe & Follow today!

EPYSODE 67: "Would You Believe", by Billy Nicholls. Guest: Billy Nicholls. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. This week we present one of the most beautiful and bittersweet stories in 1960s British pop: Billy Nicholls' legendary 1968 album Would You Believe. Hailed by critics, this shimmering psych-pop masterpiece was shelved before its proper release and went on to become one of the rarest and most sought-after records in the collector world. We explore the album's lush orchestration, studio craftsmanship, and the influence of the Immediate Records scene, including the key roles played by producer Andrew Loog Oldham and some of Billy's famous musician friends. We discuss the label troubles, industry upheavals, and twists of fate that kept this stunning record in the shadows for decades. Plus a great story of how a Beatle helped kickstart Billy's career! Whether you're a long-time admirer of this wonderful album or discovering it for the first time, this epysode unpacks the music, the myth, and the enduring magic that transformed a once-lost LP into a psych-pop holy grail. I hope you dig "Would You Believe" as much as I do. - Farmer John ===CONNECT & SUPPORT=== Transport yourself into the realm of grooviness by supporting us on Patreon using this link --> patreon.com/FarmerJohnMusic Use this link to follow us on Facebook --> https://www.facebook.com/farmerjohnmusic/ Use this link to follow us on Instagram --> https://www.instagram.com/vinylrelics/ Use this link to follow us on TikTok --> https://www.tiktok.com/@vinylrelicspodcast Use this link to follow us on BlueSky --> https://bsky.app/profile/farmerjohnmusic.bsky.social And find us on X @VinylRelicsPod Email me @ farmerjohnmusic@gmail.com ===LINKS=== Check out Billy's albums and other merchandise here: https://www.billynicholls.com ===THE MUSIC=== Songs used in this Epysode, in order of appearance.

In this special episode Neil Rosen has a fascinating conversation with Brigit Grant who wrote a movie about Beatles manager Brian Epstein. Often referred to as "the fifth Beatle," Epstein was instrumental in rocketing the four unknown lads from Liverpool to worldwide fame. "Mdias Man" reveals Epstein's complicated personal life and the toll it took on him. Brigit gives us a behind-the-scenes look at how this unique film was put together.

Between stories of reverence, spiritual authority in blended families, and listener reflections on loss, Patrick punctuates the hour with candid advice, cultural commentary, humor (and even touches on his favorite Beatle), all while encouraging humility and compassion in faith practice. Unexpected questions, honest answers, and lively moments keep everything in motion. Joseph – I like to walk up on my knees when I go to receive the Eucharist. My priest says this is a distraction and turns me away. Is there anything I can do? (01:28) Tina - Is it ok to ingest Holy Water? (09:04) Lupe – A priest also denied me communion, because I went up on me knees. I couldn't believe that the priest wouldn't let me receive. It broke me in pieces. People shouldn't pass judgment. (11:20) Rhonda – Who is your favorite Beatles? (19:25) John - At adoration, I also see people who go up and down the aisle on their knees. This is distracting to me. (23:41) Mark - Do I have spiritual authority over my stepchildren? (30:24) Fiona (email) - It seems that there's a bit of confusion about whether some of these people were talking about approaching the place to get communion by crawling on their knees only or just kneeling down to receive communion. (39:46) Steve (email) - This unfortunate trend of some bishops and priests denying communion to the faithful who kneel is demonic influence, plain and simple. (41:22) Kelly (email) - Just the flip side to reverence receiving communion: What about the priest who denies these holy reverent parishioners, yet gives to those who are completely irreverent (dressed inappropriately, etc.)? (44:45) Nancy (email) - My priest said, about walking up on your knees, "I would probably do nothing unless they were causing people to trip or creating a sensation."
Me and singer/songwriter extraordinaire, social media personality and Beatle super-fan @carokelly sit down for a conversation that, true to form, goes all over the place and back again! The original goal was to simply have a conversation about the new Wings (2025) compilation album, but me being the fan of her music/content that I am, and her being the Beatle fan she is, we cover a lot more too. Please enjoy. Peace and love, Sam P.S. - You can find all of @CaroKelly's music, including her new 2025 album "Quiet" on all streaming platforms.

Wendy B. Correa is a former music industry insider, radio DJ and now author with the release of her new book: My Pretty Baby (She Writes Press, Nov. 2025). Approximately 64% of adults in the U.S. have experienced at least one adverse childhood experience (ACE) before age 18, and nearly 1 in 6 people (17.3%) report experiencing 4 or more, according to the CDC. Wendy is on a mission to destigmatize and educate about ACEs and their effect on mental health through her new book. Meet former music industry insider, radio DJ and now author Wendy Correa. In My Pretty Baby, Wendy writes about her own riveting journey with ACE, including her time in celebrity circles, spiritual practices and a lifetime of healing from childhood trauma. The book is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and an urgent reminder that healing requires honesty, community and hope. Correa writes about being traumatized as young woman escaping a violent home, moving to California to discover herself, and along the way finds a career in the music industry, dates celebrities – Guns N' Roses' Slash would sit on the edge of her desk and flirt with her, hangs with music legend Joni Mitchell, meets Beatle's drummer Ringo Starr at her first AA meeting, and becomes journalist/author Hunter S. Thompson's assistant - only to uncover a devastating family secret decades later. In this episode we discuss: CELEBRITY ENCOUNTERS & SELF-WORTH: How Ringo Starr, Joni Mitchell, and Hunter S. Thompson shaped Wendy's journey of self-discoveryRECLAIMING LIFE AFTER TRAUMA: Her 40+ year healing journey using Buddhism, Native American practices, 12-Step programs, EMDR therapy, plant medicine and moreFAMILY ESTRANGEMENT & FORGIVENESS: How uncovering a long-hidden truth brought the closure she had always sought and discovering, finding and getting to know her half-sister.A CULTURAL CALL TO ACTION: Why our society must do more to address ACEs and support trauma recoveryBATTLE WITH ADDICTION: her journey abusing alcohol, nicotine and cocaine, and the turning point to become soberAbout the book: After escaping a turbulent home life, Correa's path of self-discovery encompasses Buddhism, yoga, meditation, plant medicine, Native American sweat lodges and vision quest, 12-Step programs, and psychotherapy. Along the way, she had extraordinary experiences: singing “Give Peace a Chance” on the Rose Bowl stage with rock 'n' roll royalty, working at A&M and Geffen Records, and spending time rock legends (mentioned above). Her life changes when she moves to Aspen and becomes a radio DJ and assistant to legendary writer Hunter S. Thompson. There, she meets her future husband and begins to build the family she had longed for her whole life. Despite her newfound peace, she is repeatedly drawn back into her family of origin's dysfunction. It is only after her mother's death that Wendy uncovers a painful family secret that finally answers her lifelong question: What really happened to my family?NYT bestselling author Sharon Salzberg says of Wendy's book: “In her deeply personal and candid memoir, My Pretty Baby, Correa's vivid storytelling penetrates the depths of her suffering with honesty and compassion, reminding readers that it is never too late to heal our traumas to live a life based in loving awareness."Wendy is also a yogi, hiker as well as a licensed massage therapist. Wendy holds bachelor's degrees in psychology and theater arts and has contributed articles to Mothering magazine. A wife and mother, she resides in Denver, Colorado.

We're simply having a wonderful holiday special, and you're invited. While music fans may be divided about the merits of Paul McCartney's enduring holiday offering "Wonderful Christmastime," it's hard to deny that the Holidays are always packed with new releases from both of his legendary bands. 2025 brought us both the latest installment in The Beatles Anthology albums (and the updated streaming series), plus two projects that shine a spotlight on Macca's other band, Wings. One was a new triple LP compilation, WINGS: The Definitive Self-Titled Collection, and the other is a book, the oral history Wings: The Story Of A Band On The Run, written by McCartney himself, and edited by our guest today, historian Ted Widmer, who talks about the process of working with McCartney and what he learned about the story of the ex-Beatle's overachieving second act. And McCartney's current long-serving guitarist/bassist Brian Ray just got back from the band's worldwide Got Back Tour, and is here to share some of his insights about bringing the McCartney catalogue to life, Every Night. He also talks about some of his solo projects, including the recent RSD Black Friday double LP, Rock The Plaza, where Ray worked alongside legends like Paul Rodgers, Josh Homme, Alice Cooper, and Orianthi. The Record Store Day Podcast is a weekly music chat show written, produced, engineered, and hosted by Paul Myers, who also composed the theme music and selected interstitial music. Executive Producers (for Record Store Day) Michael Kurtz and Carrie Colliton.

1-2-3-4! Can I have a little more? 5-6-7-8-9-10…instrumental versions of Beatles classics! Is this “The Hollyridge Strings Plays The Beatles”? Nope, it's the CD and vinyl release of Anthology 4; not to be confused with Anthology 4 on Disney+, not to be confused with the largely different Anthology 4 on DVD/VHS. Make sense, fellow Calderstoners? With 13 new tracks, plus some choice (and, ahem, choice-adjacent) cuts from the recent deluxe Beatles reissues, there is much genuine Beatle joy to be be found on Anthology 4. A few tracks are revelatory! A few are kick ass! A few are fine! And a few too many, you can #FileUnderANap. Tony and T.J. look at the highs and lows, both musical and bourbon-influenced, of the most recent entry into The Beatles vast compilation canon. On this aural journey (#OhSherry #BuzzerSFX #ThatsSoloStevePerry), Tony, T.J., and P3Z-Nutz ask and answer the questions literally millions of podcast listeners are begging us to answer, which may-or-may-not-include:

SEGMENT 1 — Setting the StageQuestion posed: “Are these the worst Christmas songs of all time?”Hosts clarify their relationship with Christmas music:One listens only occasionally (tree decorating, Christmas morning).One avoids it entirely—would rather plug their ears. SEGMENT 2 — Reviewing the List (Song by Song)1. “I Never Knew the Meaning of Christmas” – NSYNCSome familiarity.Reaction: “It's whatever… I get why it's on the list.”2. “Cherry, Cherry Christmas” – Neil DiamondCo-host's childhood connection (mom's album, first concert).Agreement: belongs on the “worst” list.3. “Don't Shoot Me Santa” – The KillersNeither host knows it.Judged purely by title: immediate “no.”4. “Dominic the Donkey” – Lou MonteImmediate agreement: belongs on the list.One host has never heard it.5. “Funky Funky Christmas” – New Kids on the BlockReactions: sounds awful, questionable attempt at creating an original Christmas hit.6. “Santa Baby” – Michael BubléDiscussion about the original (Eartha Kitt).Disagreement: Bublé can sing—should it really be on the list?7. “I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas”One host doesn't hate it.Other host is glad they've avoided it.8. “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer”Strong reaction: “Worst Christmas song of all time.”Always gets turned off instantly.9. “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” – Jackson 5Debate: cute classic vs. slightly “risqué.”10. “The Christmas Shoes” – NewSongBoth hosts OUT.Described as sad, slow, and “not the best.”11. “Wonderful Christmastime” – Paul McCartneyDivisive!One host loves it: “He's a Beatle—come on!”The other thinks he should've stuck to Beatles songs.12. “Do They Know It's Christmas?” – Band AidDiscussion about the big lineup: Bono, George Michael, Sting, etc.Despite the star power, hosts find it just “okay.”13. “The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)” – Alvin & The ChipmunksChildhood nostalgia for one host.A one-listen-per-day max.Other host fully checks out and stares at the studio TV. SEGMENT 3 — Launa's Christmas Music StanceReiterates: doesn't hate Christmas, just the music.Tree decorating soundtrack? → Breaking Benjamin, not Christmas music. SEGMENT 4 — Bonus Mention“Christmas Cookies” – George StraitControversial take: maybe not his best song.“Don't ever say that about the King!”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Lots of thinking about thinking in this episode as the Nice Hosts attempt to define some core concepts to gameplay. What even is a game? Interactivity? Play?

I hear Jeff Lynne has recently been sidelined by a mysterious infection, and had to cancel some performances. We wish the revered music producer and founder of ELO good health and a quick recovery. Today, Bill and Rich, The Splendid Bohemians would like to celebrate this versatile Rock stylist by playing two cuts separated by decades, from two vastly different incarnations, but somehow identifiable as his, if only by the unique sensibility in which these cuts are marinated: Imposters of Life's Magazine by The Idle Race, and Tweeter and the Monkey Man by The Traveling Wilburys.There are certain tropes that signify this creator's hand: catchy musical themes, thick layers of horns and strings and witty Beatle-esque harmonies - (he even got to work with the resurrected voice of John Lennon when producing the Beatle's ghostly “reunion”tracks Free As a Bird, and Real Love. Like so many of his generation, Jeff came up under the spell of the mop tops, and even this early recording by the Idle Race has that 1967 Psychedelic flavor, pre-dating by a year, but somehow reminiscent of his future Willburys bandmate, George Harrison's song Savoy Truffle. IMPOSTERS OF LIFE'S MAGAZINEThe personnel changes of the several Birmingham beat groups in the mid-sixties are too numerous to recite here, but one group, The Nightriders are notable because they took on a teenaged Lynne as guitarist in '66 - and changed their name to The Idle Race (a more timely handle). Roy Wood of the Move, Jeff's friend and future partner in the formation of ELO, helped the IR get signed, and influential DJ John Peel was an early and strong promoter of the group. Jeff's tenure with IR was short lived however, and in 1970 he founded (with Wood) the legendary Electric Light Orchestra.This early composition has all the hallmarks that would later define Jeff's work: witty, yet Romantic lyrics; hard driving rhythms, but with plenty of surprisingly lush filigree. The ambition of the work, with its startlingly different movements, is impressive for such a young talent - but, at the core is Jeff's unmistakable ear for the “hook” - marking him as one of the most reliable masters of Pop.TWEETER AND THE MONKEY MANTweeter and the Monkey Man, from 22 years later - demonstrates how far the musician had come professionally. Here Jeff is, arguably the lowest man on the totem pole of The Traveling Wilburys, a Super Group's Super Group (with a Beatle, George Harrison, future Nobel Laureate Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Roy - fucking - Orbison…., yet his mark is unmistakeable. This tune, supposedly written by Bob Dylan, who spittingly delivers it like a parody of Springsteen's New Jersey, drenched in a Sopranos sauce - and it's just plain fun. But, the chorus, penned by Jeff with George Harrison, lifts the track to the existential level of a rock opera, giving it “the hook,” the drama and the flair. The layers on this musical cake are delicious - there's George's sly slide work; the Lady Madonna horns, the timpani booms counterpointed by a tinkling piano riff; the building of the strings and horns and oohing and aaahing harmonies… they suck me in every time. Good stuff!

Thirty years after the first Anthology collection was released, several years after the Special Deluxe Edition (SDEs) series commemorating individual albums became a thing, and on the eve of an unexpected 4th Anthology series installment, we take stock. Are The Beatles (or Apple or otherwise those overseeing these re-packages) doing as good a job as they can be? There are plenty voices in the world of Beatle “authorities” that insist that we should be grateful for anything we are given – they don't owe us anything. But at SATB, we take a different position: no one is above criticism and that once upon a time, The Beatles were simultaneously the cutting edge and the gold standard in what they produced. Those days are long gone and we now find ourselves in a world where many an artist with a fraction of their following is showing how it's done. So in the name of hashing this out, I invited a couple of returning guests who are the world authorities on what exists in the vaults, on tape: Beatles scholars Doug Sulpy and Chip Madinger. Between the two of them, they have been going deep for years on the contents of the proverbial Beatle (and solo) vaults and are therefore in position to not only suggest where things could be done better but what kind of material is sitting around, awaiting the day the official curators deem it time to go public with these treasures. Hopefully, some of us are still around. You can find Dougs writings (books like Drugs, Divorce and a Slipping Image and informational newsletters) at dougsulpy.com Chip Madinger's works (which include Eight Arms To Hold You and Lennonology: Strange Days Indeed – A Scrapbook of Madness) can be found at lennonology.com
This week the clubhouse is filled with emotions. Lydia was frustrated that she did not recapture the magic of her first escape room game, Stephen was frustrated that finding his critical eye makes for a different movie watching experience, and Mark was frustrated by the acoustics at a football stadium.In other news, it's time to make your GDC Plans!

AT LAST, the guys are back from their fall hiatus, in which they frantically earned as much money as possible to fund the next 12 months of profit-less Beatles podcasting. However, they're still recording new episodes for the winter season. With that in mind, this week we dig back into the archives to present one of our favorite episodes that we're kind of surprised we haven't already re-run.... our 2023 Deep Dish into all things LIVERPOOL DRAG! -------- Originally released November 11, 2023 What happens when you take the energy of Beatlemania and mix it with a helping of questionably written and performed Beatles-inspired songs? You get Liverpool Drag. Not the Beatles, but an unincredible simulation! This week, Tony & T.J. examine the early 60's phenomenon of Beatle-inspired cash-in records. Are they good? Awful? Somewhere in between? The answer is, "yes". Along the way, the Drag Duo ask:
Susie is in the throes of Beatlemania, and she found out who Sarah's favorite Beatle is, and it's hilar (especially the reasoning). We learn about people who cannot see visual images or pictures in their mind, what conditions often correlate with the condition, and the pros and cons to having it. We hear why Susie thinks she has an auditory version of it and we discuss people who have something called "blindsight," where their eyes and brain can see things, but they aren't conscious of it, so they are ostensibly blind, but behave as if they aren't. Sarah describes a documentary about a school principal who hypnotized his students and three of them wound up dead. We discuss a nanny who was hired for a wealthy family and moved into their guest house, but when she was fired she refused to leave and invoked "squatter's rights." We debate the virtues of these strange laws that allow people to take over other people's residences.Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Want to feel safer in online dating?
