The Strange Brew - artist stories behind the greatest music ever recorded
The Iveys came together in Swansea in the early 1960s, with Ron Griffiths on bass alongside guitarist Pete Ham. Bill Collins took over as manager, and it was during their residency at the Marquee that Beatles aide Mal Evans caught their set and carried a demo tape to Apple. Live tapes, and dozens of demos have since been unearthed from the Golders Green house where they wrote and rehearsed. Ray Davies also took an interest and recorded a handful of their songs. Tony Visconti also produced, including Ron’s ‘Dear Angie.' For Badfinger's ‘Come and Get It' Paul McCartney read an interview where Ron complained the group got nothing from The Beatles, turned up at Golders Green with a demo, and told them to copy it exactly, no changes, this is the hit. At Abbey Road with McCartney producing, it was Ron who broke the rule with a Hendrix style bass run at the end of the take. McCartney kept it in. Not long after, a domestic row over late night noise waking his baby got Ron dropped from the group, right on the cusp of its biggest success. The tapes and demos have kept surfacing, and he’s now back on lead vocals for ‘Take Good Care of My Baby' on the new album Just Look Inside The Cover – Songs of Pete Ham.

"I was talking about the Paul is Dead conspiracy theory in class one day and the students began asking me if I knew about THIS theory. And then THIS theory. We went on for 30 minutes and then I did some research. There were so many theories I had never heard of. Hopefully they are new to you as well. We have a long list."

Asher remembers when Paul McCartney and John Lennon played “I Want to Hold Your Hand” for him for the first time. “I thought, am I losing my mind, or is this one of the best songs I've ever heard in my life?” McCartney, who was dating Asher's sister at the time, was living with his family. A new documentary, ‘Peter Asher: Everywhere Man,' chronicles Asher's life in the record industry. He spoke with Terry Gross about his own band in the British Invasion (Peter and Gordon), discovering James Taylor and launching Linda Ronstadt.

El 6 de julio se celebra el Día Internacional del Beso Robado, una celebración de origen desconocido. Simplemente se sabe que se ha venido celebrando en Gran Bretaña desde el siglo XIX y que actualmente se ha popularizado a nivel mundial. En realidad, este día sirve de excusa para que muchas personas tomen valor y decidan plantarle un enorme beso a la persona que han deseado desde hace tiempo, pero que no han tenido el suficiente coraje para declararse. Siempre con su consentimiento, se entiende. El Día Internacional del Beso Robado no se debe confundir con el Día Internacional del Beso, que se celebra el 13 de abril. Al final de cuentas el objetivo de ambas celebraciones es muy similar. Propagar amor en el mundo y recordarnos los múltiples beneficios que trae a nuestra vida el besar. Beneficios de los besos para la salud: Reducir la presión arterial. Disminuir el colesterol en sangre. Quemar calorías. Aliviar el estrés. Combatir el dolor. Disparar la endorfina en nuestro organismo. 1808.- José I Bonaparte, nombrado rey de España por su hermano un mes antes, promulga la Constitución de Bayona. 1864: se funda la Cruz Roja Española. 1885.- Louis Pasteur prueba por vez primera y con éxito su vacuna contra la rabia en humanos al inocularla a un niño que había sido mordido por un perro rabioso. 1937.- Guerra Civil española: comienza la batalla de Brunete (Madrid), que duró hasta el día 26 y en la que hubo alrededor de 40.000 bajas. 1947.- La ley de Sucesión en la Jefatura del Estado español es refrendada por un 93 % de los votos.

Día Internacional de The Beatles el 6 de julio, fecha en la cual se conocieron Lennon y McCartney los fundadores de la banda. Here Comes The Sun
The first thing Jason McCartney asked for wasn't a doctor. It was a whiteboard. Badly injured and facing months in hospital, he didn't ask "why me?!". He set a goal, picked a deadline, and started working backwards, the same way he had for every season of his AFL career. What he learned about handling the moments that flatten everyone else is something most leaders never have to discover until it's forced on them.You can find Jason at his LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-mccartney-oam-b10a39217/ Use Code "PQPODCAST10" to get 10% off your Lumo Coffee order:https://lumocoffee.com/ Interested in sharing your story?

Mimmo Di Marzio"Gli insospettabili"Da Goethe a David Bowie, la pittura come seconda vitaGiunti Editorewww.giunti.itGli acquerelli nostalgici di Hermann Hesse, i ritratti rock di Paul McCartney e David Bowie, i disegni erotici di Federico Fellini, i paesaggi della campagna inglese di Winston Churchill, le litografie pop di Johnny Deep. Tanti personaggi celebri, un'unica (quasi) segreta grande passione: la pittura. Quasi un saggio romanzato, il libro racconta la storia umana e psicologica di coloro che non hanno saputo accontentarsi della propria celebrità nella letteratura, nello spettacolo o nella politica, ma hanno cercato e trovato sulla tela la via per raggiungere il proprio equilibrio interiore. Questa “necessità pittorica” ha in molti casi generato risultati sorprendenti, al punto che oggi molti di questi artisti paralleli sono finiti nelle collezioni dei musei o nelle grandi collezioni private. Il libro si snoda attraverso una serie di ritratti che narrano, non senza aneddoti divertenti e immagini delle opere, il percorso avventuroso da outsider nell'affascinante mondo dell'arte.Mimmo Di Marzio è giornalista, critico d'arte, curatore e pittore. Da molti anni firma le pagine culturali de Il Giornale, dove si occupa di arte e di mercato dell'arte. È stato docente di Editoria per l'Arte all'Accademia di Brera e ha al suo attivo numerosi saggi critici. Come curatore ha firmato mostre in sedi prestigiose — tra cui il Castello Sforzesco di Milano (Homo Faber), lo Spazio Oberdan e la Fondazione Stelline — spaziando dall'arte contemporanea alla street e lowbrow art. Affianca all'attività critica una propria ricerca pittorica, presentata in personali come Vite parallele. Nel maggio 2026 ha pubblicato per Giunti Gli insospettabili. Da Goethe a David Bowie, la pittura come seconda vita, saggio narrativo dedicato a personaggi celebri che hanno coltivato l'arte come "seconda vita" creativa.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

In this episode, we've collected listener feedback on Paul McCartney's The Boys of Dungeon Lane, summarizing four core themes: the album as a slow burner that rewards repeat listens, praise as a surprising triumph for his age, debates about vocal tone and production, and a perceived lack of McCartney-style whimsy. We also highlight listener comments on standout tracks (e.g., "Life Can Be Hard"), track-by-track reactions, and a discussion of album variants and collector culture, concluding that overall fan response is positive and emotionally resonant. -Check out albums to buy, including The Boys of Dungeon Lane, in our Amazon store!

El buen vermú se consigue enriqueciendo el vino original con una combinación de aromas, sabores y matices. A la banda albaceteña que nos acompaña hoy le pasa eso mismo: conjuga influencias, ambientes y evocaciones, sin renunciar a su esencia original, ese regusto folclórico que les acompaña desde los comienzos. "Vermú" han lanzado, y presentan hoy en directo, su tercer elepé: "Los zagales". Además de charlar con Dani Toboso, de Vermú, Fernando Neira nos recuerda lo joven que se mantiene Paul McCartney e Iñaki Pascualena no nos descubre américa, pero sí que no hay canción buena del fútbol ni de los mundiales.
“I do live here and now, but I often think about the past. But then again, I think a lot of people do. So I think writers, what are they going to draw on?”Mark Savage speaks to musician Paul McCartney.Born in Liverpool, England, during the Second World War, he found fame as a member of the legendary British band The Beatles in the 1960s, widely regarded as one of the most influential acts in music history.McCartney shared primary singing and songwriting duties with bandmate John Lennon, and along with George Harrison and Ringo Starr, the four-piece became a global pop music sensation with hits such as Twist and Shout, Yesterday and Hey Jude.They remain one of the best-selling musical acts of all time alongside the likes of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson.McCartney was knighted for his services to music in 1997, but despite his huge achievements, the 83-year-old seems to be showing no interest in retirement — he's releasing his 19th solo album.The Boys of Dungeon Lane is inspired by his experiences growing up in post-war Liverpool, during which a young McCartney, carrying a guitar and wearing a bowler hat to catch attention, would hitchhike with John Lennon to places as far away as Paris. The Interview brings you conversations with people shaping our world, from all over the world.

"The new owners of Fender since 2020 are attempting to own the copyright on the Stratocaster body. A German court has taken them part of the way but most experts don't believe it will hold up to scrutiny. Nonetheless, Fender has sent Cease and Desist letters to multiple guitar makers telling them to stop production, call back orders and destroy stock. Fender may have just committed brand suicide because history is not on their side."
Ken Dashow and Producer Andrew discuss the ups, downs and cloaked references on Paul McCartney's reflective new album, 'The Boys of Dungeon Lane.' His first album in years, McCartney has filled the record with references to his youth, his family and his greatest friends. At almost 84, it's hard to interpret Macca's nostalgic turn as anything but an attempt to tie up some of the hanging threads of his life and leave a lasting 'thank you' to everything he's loved about his life.

Was 'Press to Play' really a failure—or is it one of Paul McCartney's most misunderstood albums?In this episode of Booked On Rock, I sit down with author Luca Perasi to explore the fascinating story behind McCartney's 1986 album Press to Play. Drawing from extensive research and interviews with key figures involved in the project, Luca examines the album's ambitious blend of cutting-edge 1980s production, experimental songwriting, and classic McCartney melodies.We discuss the album's troubled reputation, McCartney's creative partnership with Eric Stewart, the influence of producer Hugh Padgham, the impact of Live Aid and the Michael Jackson catalog controversy, and why Press to Play may deserve a major reappraisal. If you're a Paul McCartney fan—or simply curious about one of the most debated albums of his solo career—this is an episode you won't want to miss.Purchase a copy of Paul McCartney: Press to Play.

Boys of Dungeon Lane, McCartney's collaboration with producer Andrew Watt, arrived when McCartney was 83 and and he came out swinging: the opening track greets listeners with a dissonant, unresolved guitar chord that sets the album's tone. Harmonic instability runs through the entire record: chromatic mediants, deceptive cadences, and persistent pedal tones prevent even the most nostalgic songs from settling into comfort. The album's lyrics focus on McCartney's pre-Beatles Liverpool youth, territory unfamiliar even to long-time fans. The songs pay deliberate sonic tribute to specific Beatles recordings: Mellotron strings echoing "Strawberry Fields Forever," a backwards laugh tape loop answering "Tomorrow Never Knows," a first-ever McCartney/Starr vocal duet so close in timbre the two voices are nearly indistinguishable.

Philip Norman has written books about the Beatles – and John, Paul and George - and now turns the spotlight on the man who launched them and the extreme personal and professional obstacles in the dramatic path of his short life, the man who built a shield around them but couldn't protect himself. We talk to him here about ‘Mr Moonlight: Brian Epstein and the Making of the Beatles' with particular attention to … … how he changed Britain's image and was mortified to get no recognition for it … the Beatle whose demands he was always fastest to execute … the level of homophobia and anti-Semitism he had to absorb … his reckless pursuits in the days when homosexuality could mean life imprisonment … contract killers, blackmail, rigged roulette wheels and why the Krays said “it wasn't us” when they heard he'd died … the way he fashioned his own myth and airbrushed others who'd helped the Beatles succeed … why McCartney's 21st birthday party could have ended the band … his genius (and fraudulence) as a salesman … the double catastrophe of Brian's US merchandising deal … John, Aunt Mimi and “a story about the British class system” … and the chaperone on George and Pattie's first date.

What if one of the most famous musicians in the world died in the 1960s and the public never realised? For decades a corner of the conspirasphere has insisted that Paul McCartney didn't survive the height of The Beatles. According to the story he died in a car crash in 1966 and was quietly replaced by a look-alike. A man some believers claim was called Billy Shears. It sounds ridiculous. And yet the theory has refused to die. In this brand new 14 part Deep Dive we take the most detailed modern version of the claim, Billy's Back, an abridged version of The Memoirs of Billy Shears, and use it as a springboard to investigate the whole thing properly. We go through the claims piece by piece. The supposed clues in album artwork, lyrics and interviews. The timeline the theory relies on. The people who helped spread it in the first place. And some of the modern voices in the conspirasphere who still promote it today.

"It is no secret that music contracts can be rather brutal on artists. Often the stories focus on not getting paid but there is also the interesting idea of a lawsuit ordering a musician to fill his or her contract and record what we are calling a court ordered album. We have multiple examples plus one where the band was paid NOT to record an album."
"Sony Music Publishing confirmed an agreement to acquire Blackstone's Recognition Music Group catalog for $3.5 billion. The Red Hot Chili Peppers just sold their catalog for $300 million. Other Funds are raising billions to start buying. These buyers are called Music Rights Funds. I became interested in how these Funds actually made money. How does one invest and can I sell my own music. I have the answers for you."
"The New York Times released their 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters list a short while ago. I know online lists usually have some click bait to start conversation but this list was overtly egregious. Not for who was on it. It was who was left off. We will go over the list and play some artists that should have been on there."

Paul McCartney's incredible career began more than 60 years ago when he formed The Beatles with John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. Now, he's out with his latest solo album "The Boys of Dungeon Lane". In this week's Sitdown, Willie Geist gets together with McCartney to talk about his new music, that includes a song with The Beatles members. And McCartney talks about performing in Stephen Colbert's final "The Late Show" which happened to be on the same stage the Beatles had their American debut in 1964.

Paul McCartney got dragged for writing “silly love songs” and then turned the criticism into a No. 1 anthem. We start with that 1976 chart run, the irony baked into the lyrics, and the way one summertime hit can glue itself to your memory, right down to the bicentennial vibe and what was playing everywhere you went. From there we jump 50 years forward to McCartney closing out Saturday Night Live with Will Ferrell, and we get real about what it means to watch a living legend perform at 83. We talk vocals, stamina, song selection, and why it matters that Paul isn't trying to “fix” aging with tech. Then the night gets even better: the Chad Smith confusion joke, the classic Ferrell deadpan, and the surprise after-show energy where cowbell and Beatles staples (“Help” and “Drive My Car”) light up the room. We round things out with what we're listening to now and what still holds up, including our new “What's Mooving Me” pick from Drivin N Cryin, plus “Minute with Jimmy” on The Rolling Stones' “In the Stars.” That opens the door to Sticky Fingers at Muscle Shoals, the legacy issues around “Brown Sugar,” the story behind “Wild Horses,” and a quick run through Heart, Yoko Ono, Pet Shop Boys, and Depeche Mode's media critique in “New Dress.” If you like classic rock history, pop culture moments, and music talk that's equal parts funny and thoughtful, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more listeners can find us.

More of the McCartney promotion for "Boys of Dungeon Lane." Paul guests on the final episode of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert", talks with the BBC about "Ten songs that shaped his life," (while Macca hold a large microphone with a giant Yellow flag), and MPL (perhaps in conjunction with Apple and the Quadrology?) get the two Paul's (Mescal and McCartney) together with a crowd dressed in more or less fifties period outfits. Review coming soon! #madeonzencastr.
What if one of the most famous musicians in the world died in the 1960s and the public never realised? For decades a corner of the conspirasphere has insisted that Paul McCartney didn't survive the height of The Beatles. According to the story he died in a car crash in 1966 and was quietly replaced by a look-alike. A man some believers claim was called Billy Shears. It sounds ridiculous. And yet the theory has refused to die. In this brand new 14 part Deep Dive we take the most detailed modern version of the claim, Billy's Back, an abridged version of The Memoirs of Billy Shears, and use it as a springboard to investigate the whole thing properly. We go through the claims piece by piece. The supposed clues in album artwork, lyrics and interviews. The timeline the theory relies on. The people who helped spread it in the first place. And some of the modern voices in the conspirasphere who still promote it today. Along the way we also dig into where the story actually came from and how a rumour from the late 60s managed to evolve into a fully fledged conspiracy theory that still circulates today.Webpage for photos referenced in the series > https://www.somedarecallitconspiracy.com/paul-is-deadJoin us on Patreon to hear the full series right now https://www.Patreon.com/somedarecallitconspiracyBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/some-dare-call-it-conspiracy--5932731/support.Some Dare Call It Conspiracy is an award-winning podcast that examines conspiracy theories, misinformation, and moral panics — not from the outside, but from the inside.The show is co-created and hosted by Brent Lee and Neil Sanders, both former insiders in the conspiracy world who spent years immersed in conspiracy belief, alternative media, and grassroots activism before walking away.

Sanskrit-Speaking' Villages, Linguistic Utopias and the Metaphysics of Development (Routledge, 2026) is a recollection of the McCartney's journey across 'Sanskritland, ' which is the term coined to refer to the utopian landscape within which the 'Language of the Gods' is thought to be spoken. There are three destinations on the author's journey. This study sheds light on how, why, and where Sanskrit is spoken in the twenty-first century, the complex and dynamic historical and contemporary that have allowed this, and how both yoga and Sanskrit are instruments for development and soft-power projects. This book is an essential read for scholars and students of linguistic anthropology, Indology, and sustainable development. Learn more about your ad choices.

"Many summer tours are having to scale back or cancel altogether. The nickname given to this practice is Blue Dot Fever. It is named after the blue dots that appear on unsold seats when a ticket buyer uses Ticketmaster. It has become indicative of a larger societal and financial concern that is leading to people not being able to attend live music. We will explain."
