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:
Førstehåndsindtryk betyder alt. Jeg er dykket ned i de gamle arkiver og har lyttet til de første skæringer på en række lp'er og har valgt et dusin Der er en god grund til, at så mange klassiske albums begynder med deres bedste sange. Fra Beatles og Led Zeppelin til Blondie og Elvis Costello er rockhistorien fyldt med fantastiske albumåbningssange. Uanset om det er prologer til LP-koncepter eller dræbende singler, hjælper den første sang på et album med, at sætte stemning og tempo på albummet. Hør bl.a. Beatle, Elvis Costello, Clash, Bob Dylan, Beach Boys med flere.

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? A failstate?!Buckle in for an intellectual conversation, and remember to go to nicegames.com/feedback to tell Stephen exactly why he's wrong about any of it.

L'arrivée de l'incroyable série Anthology sur Disney+, 22 ans après la sortie en box DVD du plus monumental “doc” rock jamais réalisé, va à n'en pas douter fasciner plusieurs générations de spectateurs. Car bien au-delà du triomphe commercial jamais égalé, c'est surtout l'histoire des quatre musiciens qui vaut la peine d'être racontée. Les Beatles, c'est le Seigneur des Anneaux, le Star Wars, les Chevaliers de la Table Ronde du rock'n'roll, en clair la plus grande légende du XX° siècle, foisonnante, touchante et truffée de rebondissements aussi inattendus que spectaculaires. Vrai, qui à la fin des années 40 aurait pu prédire un tel destin à ces gamins courant dans les rues pour jouer dans les “bombies” comme on les appelle à Liverpool. Oh ils ignorent ce que ça veut dire mais c'est dans ces terrains vagues, plaies béantes dans des quartiers bombardés durant la guerre qui les a vus naître, que ces mômes aux genoux écorchés et gelés ont trouvé leur terrain de jeu. Ils n'imaginent pas une vie en dehors de Liverpool, cette cité portuaire noircie par la pollution des usines et des bateaux qui y accostent venant du monde entier. Ils parlent d'ailleurs un Anglais très singulier, le scouse, que personne ne comprend une fois qu'on s'en éloigne de dix miles. Pourtant, à l'automne 1960, nous les retrouvons dans un autre port, Hambourg, une ville qui a bien des points communs avec la leur. Particulièrement ses quartiers mal famés, hantés par des marins ivres le soir, errant jusqu'au bout de la nuit parmi les putes, comme ils disent, et voguant de cafés en lieux de débauche où on apprécie les groupes britanniques, les seuls à pouvoir jouer cette musique américaine des Elvis Presley et autres Bill Haley qu'ils apprécient tant. Ils sont alors six Beatles à jouer dans les bars de Reeperbahn et ses rues voisines. Oui, on parle toujours du 5ème Beatle mais ils sont six à en avoir fait partie officiellement. John Lennon a fondé les Quarrymen en 1956 alors qu'il était à la Quarry Bank High School, rejoint par Paul McCartney l'année suivante, puis George Harrison et enfin, Stuart Sutcliffe et Pete Best. Ils sont donc cinq, quatre guitaristes et un batteur, c'est d'ailleurs la maman du dernier arrivé, Pete Best, qui en leur trouvant pas mal d'engagements a enfin apporté une stabilité au groupe. Sans la maman de Pete, les Beatles auraient peut-être disparu des radars. Et tant qu'on parle des Beatles, c'est John et Stuart qui ont trouvé ce nom en janvier 1960.Alors imaginez l'arrivée à Hambourg fin 1960 pour ces jeunes hommes qui n'ont jamais franchi les frontières de la Grande-Bretagne. Assis sur leur matos dans le mini-minibus de leur manager qui n'est autre que le patron du Jacaranda, un café de Liverpool, ils débarquent en fin de soirée après avoir traversé la Hollande. Le patron de la boîte où ils doivent jouer, l'Indra, pas très chaleureux, les loge dans une pièce en béton sans fenêtre avec des matelas par terre, dans un cinéma borderline, avec juste les water sans eau chaude pour se débarbouiller. Ces deux lieux aujourd'hui encore miraculeusement intacts, c'est là où les Beatles vont apprendre leur métier en jouant plusieurs heures toutes les nuits, et où ils vont croiser Ringo Starr, le futur sixième Beatle qui joue avec un autre groupe de Liverpool. Mais c'est surtout là qu'ils vont comprendre le contact avec le public mieux que leurs semblables british et développer leur art comme personne, faisant d'eux le groupe de scène le plus phénoménal qu'on ait vu, suscitant des émotions dans le public féminin comme plus jamais on en verra. Non, vraiment, quand quatre ans plus tard, les Beatles débarquent à New York, aucun Américain n'a vu et entendu jouer LEUR musique comme le font les Beatles. C'est sauvage, le public exulte, leurs parents sont horrifiés.
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!
Fans On The Run: A Podcast Made By, For And About Beatles Fans
Miss us? It's time for a return to the podcast made by, for, and about Beatles fans - Fans On The Run! Joining me for this first episode back, is my dear friend Paul Perigo! In a very far-reaching conversation, we talk about a few notable censored Beatle records, the tangibility of music, preparing Paul McCartney TV specials for Australian broadcast, forgotten British psych-pop, taping The Beatles cartoons, gaps in documentation of parts of Beatle history, the bond between John & George, George Martin's original score for Yellow Submarine, the 1968 film "Here We Go Round The Mullbery Bush", the spookiness of Long, Long, Long, and Paul's full personal ranking of The Beatles albums. All that and more, so you won't want to miss it! (Please note, this episode was recorded over six months ago, so no Anthology!)

Même si elle ne date pas de cette époque, la musique acoustique a été particulièrement populaire au cours de la première partie des années nonante. C'est d'autant plus étonnant qu'on nage déjà dans l'ère électro à cause de MTV, et que c'est pourtant cette même chaîne qui va populariser l'acoustique avec un mot : Unplugged ! Le truc ? Demander à des artistes de venir jouer en live sur un plateau, leur répertoire en débranchant l'électricité de leurs instruments. Le seul courant qui doit passer est celui des micros et celui qui relie le musicien au public. Bien sûr, MTV n'invente pas le concept. Ainsi dans son célèbre show télé, Le comeback special en 1969, Elvis Presley joue une partie de son répertoire avec ses musiciens uniquement sur des guitares acoustiques. Et puis Led Zeppelin, au cours des années 70 faisait un break au milieu du concert en jouant un set tous les quatre sur des instruments acoustiques sur le devant de la scène, assis sur des tabourets. Mais bon, ici il s'agit d'une émission de télévision. Elle démarre en 1989. Au début, ça ne se bouscule pas au portillon avec des seconds couteaux, au demeurant excellents comme Squeeze, The Alarm et l'excellent Joe Walsh, guitariste des Eagles. Ça commence en fait à bouger l'année suivante avec la venue de quelques grands formats du hard rock américain comme Aerosmith mais aussi des stars telles que Hall & Oates et Elton John. Mais c'est la publication en CD de la prestation de Paul McCartney en 1991 qui donne un statut culte à l'émission. Le disque qui se nomme Official Bootleg est de plus une totale réussite de la part de l'ex-Beatle qui se réaffirme de plus en plus comme une bête de scène. Avec le passage des Cure, R.E.M., Elvis Costello et Sting, MTV Unplugged devient un rendez-vous prisé pour les artistes qui maintenant sont en demande d'y participer. Parmi les Eurythmics, Springsteen, ou Pearl Jam qui s'y produisent cette année-là, on trouve aussi Eric Clapton. Au terme de l'enregistrement, quelqu'un suggère de le sortir en CD. Clapton n'est pas chaud : il a commis quelques petites erreurs par ci par là et surtout il n'y croit absolument pas. Qui va acheter ça ? Warner, sa firme de disques, n'y croit pas non plus. Mais enfin, Clapton n'a pas sorti de disque depuis trois ans et ça commence à faire long. On en vendra toujours aux fans.Unplugged figure aujourd'hui parmi les albums les plus vendus de tous les temps. Le succès a été immédiat : N°1 dans beaucoup de pays, multi platine, il se vend rien qu'aux Etats-Unis à 10 millions d'exemplaires faisant la fortune de Clapton et donnant à l'émission un statut de reine. Les grands moments vont alors se multiplier comme les passages de Bob Dylan et de Nirvana, la reformation des Eagles et de Kiss. Mais alors que tous ces grands moments télévisés se vendent par millions en CD, l'électro prend toujours de plus en plus de place dans la programmation de MTV, il faut dire que cette musique mise pleinement sur l'image.
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

The boys break the bro-code by chasing a Beatle bride, tack a piano outro onto a love triangle, and use the scientific method to conduct an autopsy on the corpse of Derek and the Dominos' tortured 1970 classic, “Layla.” News items and digressions include Metallica's decision to go 100% digital live.
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?

Send us a textEpisode 234They called him the Fifth Beatle — the man who discovered four lads from Liverpool and helped turn them into the biggest band the world has ever known. But behind the sharp suits, the polished charm, and the quiet confidence, was a young man battling to prove himself in a world that didn't quite understand him.Before the screaming fans and the flashing lights, Brian Epstein was a shopkeeper's son with a restless ambition — and a secret life lived in shadows. His story is one of vision and vulnerability, of success built on intuition, and fame shadowed by loneliness.This is the story of the man who saw the Beatles before the world did.Support the showInsta@justpassingthroughpodcastContact:justpassingthroughpodcast@gmail.com
Cricket's for the birds. It's October (or was October as of pressing) and the only bats that belong within spitting distance of Capitol Records are made in Louisville right in the heart of the ol' U.S. of A. To celebrate the end of another season of America's pastime, somehow currently dominated by Canadians (#2025), T.J. and Tony resurrect Producer Casey's most confusing episode concept: THE BEATLE BATTING ORDER — this time constructing their lineups exclusively from stateside releases. Between mouthfuls of peanuts and Cracker Jacks, we wonder: ⚾️ ❄ Is Paul actually a Mets fan, or is Darryl Strawberry just his dealer? ⚾️

Amid a conversation about Paul McCartney and the Fab Four's legacy and influence, a frequent SOTA caller stops Scoot dead in his tracks with a surprisingly tricky question to answer
Yesterday on Jack Tame's show, I was talking about the new Springsteen film - Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere - and Jack asked me why there have been so many music biopics recently? It got me thinking about how musicians and their origin stories and struggles with fame have always made for good films, and we've always made them. But Jack is right, there have been quite a few biopics about musicians recently - think Better Man about Robbie Williams, A Complete Unknown about Bob Dylan, Bob Marley: One Love, Back to Black about Amy Winehouse, Maria about Maria Callas … and there's plenty more on the way. In 2028, each Beatle is getting their own film, thanks to director Sam Mendes. The truth of the matter is probably that they make money. Marvel and comic book superhero cinema dominance is cooling off, and so in recent years Hollywood has turned to the music biopic genre to replace it. It makes sense really. Like comic book heroes, many of these artists lives are steeped in mythology perfect to mine for drama, their stories are part of pop culture. And apart from paying for music rights - they aren't too expensive to make. And, we love them. We love the comfort of their familiarity and a bit of nostalgia. The music industry also love music biopics, it's a wonderful way for the industry to reconnect an artist with their audience and create new fans. The Springsteen movie is about the making of his acoustic, folk inspired album Nebraska. I listened to the album in the car on the way home from watching the film. Tick, job done. For me, the genre was revitalised with 2005's Walk the Line, which told the story of flawed genius Johnny Cash and his wife June's relationship. It told it - warts and all. Around that time, Ray, about Ray Charles, was also released, as was Control, the story of the troubled life and times of Ian Curtis, lead singer of new wave band Joy Division. Since then, we have been tapping our toes and reliving our own relationships with the music of Elvis, Elton John, Freddie Mercury and NWA. As popular as the genre is, and as much as we enjoy the ride, it's tricky for filmmakers to get these films right. Artists' stories often follow the same narrative beats so can be samey, but it can be risky taking a unique approach. Taking on a lead role can be rewarding for actors in awards season, but fans are judgy when watching an interpretation of their heroes. Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere is a good case in point. Aside from a few concert scenes, mostly we watch Springsteen record an album in his bedroom and studio while slipping into depression. It's hardly a glossy, mainstream rollicking ride. If you're looking for something to watch this long weekend, and watching Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen isn't your thing, then hunt out some of our own music stories - which have been turned into excellent documentaries. Marlon Williams: Ngā Ao E Rua - Two Worlds, The Chills: The Triumph & Tragedy of Martin Phillipps, Alien Weaponry - Thrash Metal and Te Reo Māori, Shihad - Beautiful Machine, Heavenly Pop Hits - The Flying Nun Story. So many good choices. It's also worth noting Life in One Chord - the Shayne Carter story - will be available to rent from DOC PLAY from November 6th. All beautifully told stories that enrich our lives. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Minneapolis! Home of Prince, “Mary Tyler Moore”, and arguably the most exciting NBA player today, Joe Ingles. And of late, it's home to Producer Casey; who recently took advantage of a last minute opportunity to see Sir Paul McCartney (heard of him, “Beatle fan?”). It's Casey's second Macca concert, and, arguably, first-ever concert. Figure that one out, math! Casey reports back with special inside information (that's a lie) from where the mini-apple's mediocre/stupid football team plays (GO BEARS), with news on the Hot City Horns, Minny Moms who Lap Dance, and the still-growing legend of rock's GOAT. Along the way, the Untitled Trio get a special message from our social media guru Glenny the K, who just saw Paul at Producer Casey's famous pizzarena. Plus, they also ask:

Back in May 2025, two hardcore Beatle historians haling from down under came on the show for an analysis of the conventional wisdom regarding Beatles instrumental credits and how, in certain instances, it was found to be lacking. They're back again, and this time we examine: “Long Tall Sally” “I Don't Want To Spoil The Party” “Michelle” “We Can Work It Out”“Paperback Writer”/”Rain”“Sgt.

More fantasizing, hypothesizing and Beatle-izing on what might happen were Paul and Ringo to decide to go on tour together. Not advertised as "a Beatles reunion", just two old rock and roll friends joining their talents to play some music (both together and separately), and to pay tribute to some of their comrades in guitar-based arms.

Originally released March 16, 2021Sometimes, all it takes to write a signature song is...quitting your band. During a sabbatical from the tense White Album sessions of 1968, a trip on Peter Sellers' boat gave Ringo the inspiration for "Octopus's Garden." With a little help from his friends, George in particular, he was able to put together something that's incredibly charming and fun, and the last example of the band all pulling together to support their beloved drummer; it's a stellar performance all around, and a sonic gem, along with the rest of Abbey Road. As childlike and saccharine as it may be though, is it possible this is a much deeper song, where Ringo's really seeking out some shelter from the storm around him? Could this be his "Help"?We're joined this week by Liz Stokes and Jonathan Pearce, 1/2 of the New Zealand-based rock band The Beths. Their latest album Jump Rope Gazers, out now on Carpark Records, was in our top 3 albums of 2020, a literal constant quarantine companion. It's linked in our Linktree above. Over the last few years, their blend of propulsive, sing-along choruses, four-part vocal arrangements, and wry, introspective lyrics has earned them fans around the world, as well as opening slots for indie rock titans like The Breeders, Pixies, Weezer, and Death Cab for Cutie. We chatted on Mardi Gras day about all sorts of things, from very different Beatle-fan perspectives, and, in a podcast first, Jonathan admits that he maybe got his ranking wrong on this one.What do you think about "Octopus' Garden" at #178? Too high? Too low? Let us know in the comments on Facebook, Instagram, or find us now on Bluesky!

Why is historical context so important when looking at topics from the past? What role does a broader appreciation of the humanities play in understanding contemporary issues?Darrin M. McMahon is a professor of history at Dartmouth College and the author of several books. Recent titles include Equality: The History of an Elusive Idea and the Divine Fury: A History of Genius book.Greg and Darrin discuss Darrin's intellectual journey and his approach to longue durée intellectual history. Darrin provides insights into his books on happiness, genius, and equality, exploring themes like the evolution of concepts over time, the intersection of words and ideas, and the roles of intellectual historians. Their conversation examines the connections between religious traditions and modern concepts, the interplay of born versus made attributes, and the historical perspectives on the concepts of happiness and genius. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Are genius, happiness, and equality born or made?41:06: Are geniuses born, or are they made? You know, can you play the guitar for 10,000 hours, à la Malcolm Gladwell, and become a Beatle? Or, you know, is there just something in you? And that turns out to be a kind of central conflict all the way back to the ancients. Same, as you say, with happiness, right? Is happiness just in our genes? We know some people are wired to just be cheery in the morning. Right? I'm not one of those people. Or does it happen to you? Right? Or can you make it? Right? Can you control your life in such a way so that you can bring about happiness? And the same with equality, right? Are we born equals? Are we made equals in political circumstance? Are we intended to be equal? This too gets tied up with debates around it, around the concept from very early on. And they never really entirely go away. So again, it's a nice way of kind of pointing out continuities, but then also marking points of departure and change.Why equality creates inequality29:37: Equality always serves, or always brings into being, new forms of inequality. That very assertion of equals then creates the space then for thinking or measuring others against that standard, and relegating to place.Intellectual history teaches us how to love49:28: Intellectual history teaches you to get inside the minds of others who see the world in radically different ways from how you do. And that is what love is all about: trying to get inside the mind of a person who sees the world differently from you, and to empathize even when you do not agree, to understand even when you do not condone. That is crucial. It is a crucial human endeavor, and I think intellectual history teaches that very well.The arc of equality isn't as straight as we think30:29: Equality leads to us, and then it's going to spread, and, you know, spill down to more and more people. It will expand and get wider. I grew up in California. I was born in 1965 with that kind of vague idea, and no one said it was going to be easy. Martin Luther King certainly knew it was not going to be easy, and yet, as you say, the arc of history bends towards justice, bends towards equality. We're gradually extending equality to wider and wider circles of people. And that's just how it will go. And I think we were deceived by our own rhetoric. And it was really a rude awakening in 2016 to wake up and realize, oh gosh, you know, it does not quite work that way. And as rude an awakening as that's been, I think it also provides an opportunity then to go back and examine a concept like equality that we thought we knew in some ways, but that really turns out to be much more complicated and fraught than I think we fully appreciated.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Longue DuréeRobert DarntonArthur Oncken LovejoyAnglo-SaxonsPlatoSubjective Well-beingJeremy BenthamThe Happiness HypothesisAge of EnlightenmentSocratesDaemonDoctor FaustusMichelangeloMichel FoucaultMemento MoriFascesTeresa BejanMartin Luther King Jr.Tall Poppy SyndromeChristopher BoehmBranko MilanovićKarl MarxJean-Jacques RousseauArthur SchopenhauerFriedrich NietzscheThomas CarlyleAugustine of HippoPresentismGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at Dartmouth UniversityDarrinMcMahon.comWikipedia ProfileGuest Work:Amazon Author PageEquality: The History of an Elusive IdeaHistory and Human FlourishingDivine Fury: A History of GeniusHappiness: A HistoryEnemies of the Enlightenment: The French Counter-Enlightenment and the Making of Modernity Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Most Beatles fans are generally familiar with the story of their UK fan club, managed by Freda Kelly and depicted throughout the 2013 documentary, Good Ol' Freda. But the story of their North American fan clubs is, if anything, even more fascinating: their set-up was treated nearly as an afterthought upon the group's 1964 arrival here, and as they fumbled their way forward, hundreds of unofficial Beatles fan clubs sprang up, many of them doing a far better job of creating community and supporting the band than the official one did. (And then there were the sub-groups set up to police the other fans and protect The Beatles from their out-of-control fervor.) Beatles historian Sara Schmidt has chronicled this heretofore untold history in her book, Dear Beatle People: The Story of The Beatles North American Fan Club. Rich with tons of ephemera, photos and correspondence, Sara brings to life the immediacy of '60s American fandom and the unsuspected drama that went along with it. She spoke with hundreds of 1st-gen fans, collecting and preserving their stories of encounters with The Beatles, as well as the stories around the regional clubs around the country that weren't just limited to “Beatles.” (There were, for instance, associated clubs for Beatle wives, actor Victor Spinetti, and a Beatle sister.) Beatles fandom is an area of study only recently starting to get its due as an illuminating aspect of the phenomena. Joining Sara and I for the talk is rock scholar Allison Bumsted (TeenSet, Teen Fan Magazines and Rock Journalism) as we discuss the history of American Beatles fans in their efforts to put their devotion to purpose.

The Blues Magoos Peppy Castro Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson There's fun, and then there's spending two hours with The Blues Magoos Peppy Castro! He's lived a rockers' life to covet and then some! The Who, Hendrix, Dylan, Jefferson Airplane, JOHN LENNON for Gd's sake! Stories, stories, stories, one better than the next. He drove a Beatle in a Beetle! Who can say that? Skipping school and playing the Night Owl in the village when he was 14. 14! When Jimi used to stop in and jam, when Bob would roam the streets with his guitar, when Richie Havens would just wander in… doing the Jack Benny Show with Henny Youngman and Morey Amsterdam firing schtick in the green room, doing The Smother's Brother's Comedy Hour with Tommy trying to join the band, touring with The Who and Herman's Hermits and The Who were the middle act! An insane story about Micheal Botlon, about getting the role in the original production of Hair on Broadway, doing jingle after jingle - with one I'm still singing… we talked Phoebe Snow, Laura Branigan, Buzzy Linhardt, Jay & The Americans, The Turtles with beloved Howard Kaylan and Mark Volman, Tommy James, Lou Cristie, Joan Jett, on and on, and on! FAB! FAB! FAB! Forty years in the making - we could've screamed across the street at each other in the 80s. I did visit his penthouse once, but thought it was elsewhere. There may or may not have been a lotta pot involved. The antidote to today's latest crazy… this thing right here. Just hit play. It's the joy button. Promise!

Why are we still talking about these guys? Does a band that stopped recording together over half a century ago have any relevance in the 21st century? Have we reached the bottom of the barrel yet in terms of exploring every aspect of their story? If you answered yes and no respectively to the last two questions, press on, because in this conversation with author Sean Murphy, we dive into the continued appeal and inspiration that The Beatles gave us, as potent in 2025 as it was in the '60s.

Enjoy an entire Quick Tap dedicated to the guy who wrote “Good Day Sunshine” because, well, it sounds like he spreads that wherever he goes - Beatles bassist Paul McCartney. Yes, that same Macca who is making a much talked about cameo appearance in the feature film, Spinal Tap 2: The End Continues - coming out on September 12th!!! You'll hear from host of the Bad Decisions podcast, Scott Nathan, about the time Nathan introduced a friend to Paul back in the '90s and everything went Helter Skelter (not really); former senior head of rock promotion at Columbia Records, Paul Rappaport, who tells us about the night he got a little help from his Beatle friend; and Gary Anthony Williams - the voice of Uncle Ruckus on The Boondocks - who saw Paul standing there at a script reading and was offered some delicious pita by the charming Liverpudlian himself. It sounds like everyone has got to get a little McCartney into their lives!

God is moving in the Middle East! On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we talked to a dear friend of the program who shared some amazing stories from his ministry of how God is impacting lives across that part of the world including the story of how and Egyptian woman came to faith, how God protected a Syrian man carrying much needed aid from posted guards and how God is drawing Druze people to Him. Another guest shared her thoughts on why we are seeing historically low birth rates in our country and why we don’t really know what is causing these numbers. The fight to protect the provision of Title IX is far from over! Janet was joined by her daughter to address how some northern Virginia school boards are reacting to the national mandate to preserve and protect girls only sports and the dangerous transgender push to redefine gender and sexuality for school aged kids across the country. History is God’s story, and we get to be part of it! That’s the message we heard from a highly respected pastor and leader who challenged us to look at the Bible from that perspective. From the perfection of the Garden of Eden and the first humans, to fall and the plan of redemption, God has been writing His story through human lives for centuries. Our guest helped us see that the same way God worked through flawed people in the past is the same way He is working in our day to complete His design for restoration of His people and His creation to the divine perfection He originally gave it. We had another visit from one of our favorite evangelists who shared stories about the unexpected event that occurred at his ministry recently, what a living Beatle and the gospel have to do with one another, what a false convert is and why there are so many in churches today. You are invited once again to join our favorite husband and wife team as they continue to teach us all how to use God’s unchanging truth as a measuring stick against the confusing ideas and strategies we see in our daily media.

It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. Ozzy is survived by his wife Sharon, his daughter Kelly and his son Jack. There is information about the drowning death of Malcolm-Jamal Warner. Sources said Warner died on Sunday at Costa Rica's Playa Grande Beach while on a family vacation. The beach has been called "challenging," and there were signs in English and Spanish warning about the risk of drowning. There were no lifeguards present due to a lack of resources. The Caribbean Guard stated, "Although there were people on the beach who entered the water to rescue him, they did not arrive in time. He was pulled from underwater without vital signs, and despite CPR maneuvers being performed on the beach, resuscitation was unsuccessful."Warner was 54. Slipknot Fans Frustrated After Countdown Timer Ends In Disappointment Slipknot fans are in revolt after the band's mysterious countdown timer ended in disappointment. The timer was set to expire at 3pm ET on Monday - but once it reached zero, fans encountered server issue errors and requests to try again later. Eventually, it was revealed that the countdown was announcing a 25th-anniversary vinyl box set for Slipknot's 1999 self-titled album. But that news only angered fans even more, as the box set was limited to 100 total units and sold out almost immediately.

Paul McCartney Nearly Appeared On 'The Dark Side Of The Moon' Pink Floyd's The Dark Side Of The Moon is considered one of the greatest albums in rock history - and it almost featured a guest appearance from a Beatle. Paul McCartney, who at the time was fronting Wings following the Beatles' breakup, actually recorded some vocals for the record - but Roger Waters ultimately decided to cut it. Waters later said McCartney's performance didn't fit with the rest of the record: "He was trying to be funny, which wasn't what we wanted at all." Pink Floyd's David Gilmour would later play on McCartney's solo album Give My Regards To Broad Street.
