With almost 800 episodes in the archives, new listeners (and old) often ask me for recommendations. In response, I'll occasionally re-post some of my favorites. This was my first conversation with Rick Beato (Episode 420, 5/18/2020). Some reasons you might want to listen to this episode.On what Rick Beato actually does for people who love music:Chris Ryan: “He is like the Anthony Bourdain of music. He takes you to a place you've never been — or you have been, but you just never noticed it the way he does. And you'll never experience it the same way again after he's shown you around.”On how the Beatles wrote Help, Rubber Soul, and Revolver — all in one year:Rick Beato: “In 1965, they released three records within twelve months. These are all 12, 14-song records. It's not just writing all those songs — they recorded and released all of them in one calendar year. I believe it was 13 records in 8 years. It's unfathomable. But one of the things about making records all the time is that you get good at making records. The act of always being in the studio, always writing songs, made them better songwriters because they didn't want to repeat themselves.”On the night John Lennon died:Rick Beato: “I was in my freshman year of college and my roommate was watching Monday Night Football. He said, ‘Oh my god, John Lennon was just shot.' I said, ‘What?' And Howard Cosell was doing the play by play. Then five minutes later they announced John Lennon had died. And right then, you could hear it — across the whole campus.”On the fear of understanding music too well:Chris Ryan: “I remember talking with my buddy — a musical prodigy, just a total genius — about a piece of music that I found particularly moving. I said that feels so nostalgic to me, it just sounds like an old person looking back on their life, remembering the loves and the loss. And he said, ‘Well yeah, that's because it's in G minor. That's just a trick.' And it kind of broke my heart a little bit. His sense of music was becoming more and more mechanical.”Rick Beato: “I never analyze music when I'm listening to it. I just listen. The only time I analyze it is when I need to for a video. And it's funny — there are songs I've heard for 40 years where making the video is the first time I've ever even figured out what they're doing. It never occurred to me. I always listened as a fan.”Chris Ryan: “You're like a porn star who has real orgasms, Rick.”On where the power of music actually comes from:Rick Beato: “When you play a string, there are natural harmonics that happen because of the atmosphere. If you divide a string in half, it produces the note an octave above. Divide it again — a fifth above. Again — a third above. And all of a sudden you have a major chord. The major triad is literally part of our atmosphere. I think that has something to do with it. Music is one of the great mysteries of human experience. I work with as much music as I've studied my entire life, and I still wonder: where do they come up with this stuff?”On perfect pitch — and what it tells us about how we lose things as we grow up:Rick Beato: “Every baby is born with the ability to hear all phonemes from all 6,500 languages spoken on earth. But beginning at around nine months, they start to lose this ability. I believe perfect pitch is exactly the same — it's just another language that's retained by some babies and not others. My son Dylan can hear a ten-note chord and tell you every pitch in it. But he says he never thinks about it when he's just listening. It never occurs to him. And that's how I am with music too.” This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit chrisryan.substack.com/subscribe

Richard Langston in conversation with David Eastaugh https://feralhouse.com/the-clean/ https://www.amazon.co.uk/Clean-Dreamlife-Need-Rubber-Soul/ In 1978 in Dunedin , New Zealand, the Kilgour brothers, Hamish and David, and their schoolfriend Peter Gutteridge, got together to form a band called The Clean. When Robert Scott joined in 1980, the band found a combination that endured for nearly forty years. The Clean profoundly changed alternative music: hitting the New Zealand charts for months with a single made for 50 dollars, 'Tally Ho!'; helping establish Flying Nun and a music scene independent of the big labels; pioneering a low-fi, do-it-yourself approach to rock music; and touring internationally to influence bands like Pavement and Yo La Tengo. Raw and immediate, this is the story as told by members of The Clean and their inner circle - fellow musicians such as Chris Knox, Martin Phillipps, Graeme Downes and Ira Kaplan, friends and family, pub promoters and sound engineers, and their good friend, Richard Langston. From teenagers in a Dunedin practice room to New York City on 9/11 - this is the band's history as it unfolds.
On this episode, Marc talks with Richard Langston, author of "The Clean: In the Dreamlife You Need a Rubber Soul," published in April of 2026. It's an excellent oral history of the Clean, the band started by brothers David and Hamish Kilgour along with Peter Gutteridge, and then Robert Scott. Langston tells their story thoroughly through interviews with the band and the many New Zealand music figures who surrounded them as well as American bands who played with them, alongside quotes from reviews and interviews during the band's tenure and archival material like their journals and letters.As Richard writes, "Once Hamish Kilgour and Robert Scott also agreed to tell the story, David and I discussed how to go about it, and we agreed on an oral history. We liked that format of storytelling as you can hear the unmediated voices of the different participants, giving it an immediacy and the richness of multiple voices talking about the same events."We hope you enjoy Marc's conversation with Richard Langston!
From a $50 single to global influence, The Clean helped shape the sound and spirit of independent music as we know it.In this episode, we dive into the definitive story of The Clean—formed in Dunedin, New Zealand in 1978 by the Kilgour brothers and their friends—and how their raw, lo-fi approach sparked an entire movement. From the underground success of “Tally Ho!” to their role in building the Flying Nun scene, The Clean's impact can still be heard in bands like Pavement and Yo La Tengo.Featuring an in-depth interview with Richard Langston, author of The Clean: In the Dreamlife You Need a Rubber Soul, we explore the band's story in their own words—through the voices of the musicians, collaborators, and friends who lived it. From early days in Dunedin to international tours and beyond, this is the inside story of a band that changed indie music forever.Purchase a copy of The Clean: In the Dreamlife You Need a Rubber SoulFollow Richard Langston:FacebookInstagram----------
brianturnershow.com, eastvillageradio.comRichard Langston, author of the new Clean biography In The Dreamlife You Need a Rubber Soul, joins The Brian Turner Show. The two will be chatting extensively about this brilliant band's 1978-2016 life, which was punctuated by periods on inactivity but inevitably continual returns that netted them deep and dedicated international fandom. Founded by brothers Hamish and David Kilgour, initial rotating lineups traversed their New Zealand homeland with budget tours, met with degrees of alienation from the established Auckland punk scene. Their psychedelic pastiche contained deep love of Barrett, The Beatles, Velvets, Hendrix, and Arthur Lee, which showed in their rudimentary DIY ethic; a heady formula out of fashionable step and thus triggering retreat back to their Dunedin hometown. However, surprise success of their first single hitting the top 20 trigged a great leap forward for not only the Kilgours (now joined by future Bats founder Robert Scott), but a newfound communal scene in The Clean's wake that launched not only the Flying Nun label but a score of kindred spirit groups. They eventually achieved notoriety internationally despite periods of pause, and massively influenced a big slab of American indie rock units as well. Langston chronicles the great heights of this band live and on record with dutiful shoutouts to those in their circles who helped elevate them. We'll be playing a bunch of live Clean tracks as well.THE CLEAN - Point That Thing Somewhere Else (live Fulham Greyhound, 88)THE CLEAN - Quickstep (live Gladstone, 81)THE CLEAN - Art School (live Railway, Auckland, 81)THE CLEAN - Side On (live Christchurch, 82)THE CLEAN - Beatnik (live Christchurch, 82)THE CLEAN - Oddity (live Rumba Bar 82)INTERVIEW WITH HAMISH AND DAVID KILGOUR on the show, Nov 2021THE CLEAN - Dunes (live Gronigen, 89)THE CLEAN - Draw(in)g To a (W)hole (live Barcelona 2010)THE CLEAN - Outside the Cage (live Barcelona 2010)THE CLEAN - I Wait Around (live Regent, Dunedin, 2007)INTERVIEW WITH RICHARD LANGSTON - Author of In The Dreamlife You Need a Rubber SoulTHE CLEAN - In The Dreamlife You Need a Rubber Soul (live Barcelona, 2010)THE CLEAN - Whatever I Do Is (live Barcelona 2010)THE CLEAN - Fish (live Sammys, Dunedin, 2000)THE CLEAN - Getting Older (live Maxwells, Hoboken, 2010)THE CLEAN - Hold On To the Rail (live Sammys, Dunedin, 2000)THE CLEAN - At the Bottom (live Sammys, Dunedin, 2000)THE CLEAN - I Can't Stand It (live) - Mashed (Arch Hill, 2008)THE CLEAN - Point That Thing Somewhere Else (Sammys, Dunedin, 2000)

The conversation explores the song's double meanings, its portrayal of relationship tension, and McCartney's ability to transform personal experience into art. They also discuss the evolving depiction of women in Beatles songs, the broader social changes of the 1960s, and how Rubber Soul captures a band (and a culture) in transition.Musically, they highlight the track's rich harmonies, inventive structure, and standout bass line, as well as its subtle sophistication beneath an apparently simple surface.

Mike Smith is joined live in-studio by Missoula-based choreographer and educator Colleen Rosbarsky ahead of Rubber Soul Reimagined, a musical cabaret inspired by The Beatles iconic 1965 album.Presented in collaboration with the University of Montana School of Music and School of Theatre and Dance, the production brings the entire Rubber Soul album to life through live performance, dance, and storytelling. Featuring student vocalists, a live band, and original choreography rooted in 1960s dance styles, the show explores both the music and cultural influence of the era.Audiences can expect a dynamic blend of song, movement, and narrative—including period-inspired go-go dance, scenes highlighting Beatles history, and even a filmed interpretation of “Norwegian Wood.” The production reflects on the enduring legacy of the album and its continued relevance across generations.Rubber Soul Reimagined runs at the Zootown Arts Community Center showroom.

Welcome to the show. Some creative people tell stories. Others build entire worlds with language — worlds that allow us to see ourselves, our history, and our moral struggles with greater clarity. Today's guest is one of those rare builders. Jeff Meschel is a playwright, author, and lifelong student of music whose work lives at the intersection of literature, history, and the Jewish experience. Living in Israel, he writes with a perspective shaped by both the ancient pulse of Jewish civilization and the urgent complexities of modern life in the Jewish state. His work spans an extraordinary range — from theater to journalism, from blogging to music criticism — always circling the same enduring questions: Who are we? What shapes us? And what does it mean to create something that lasts? His remarkable novel, The Greatest Band That Never Was, is a deeply imaginative journey into music, memory, and missed possibility. It explores a haunting idea — that history is filled with brilliance that almost happened. Through humor, insight, and cultural reflection, Jeff captures not only the romance of music, but the deeper human longing to leave something behind that endures. As a playwright, Jeff understands that the stage is more than performance — it is a space where ideas breathe, where characters wrestle with truth, and where audiences are invited into conversations that linger long after the curtain falls. Beyond the page, Jeff's life reads like a cultural tapestry. He has interviewed a young Simon and Garfunkel, written about music since the days of Rubber Soul, and even shared a moment — a kiss — with Janis Joplin. His lifelong devotion to music has earned him his own title: Music Promulgator. Today, we'll explore his passion for storytelling, his obsessive love of music, his reflections on identity, and what it means to create art in Israel during deeply consequential times. A husband, a father, a saba, and a truly original voice — Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Jeff Meschel. Baruch ha'bah. Welcome! ——

Hello Beatleteers.......Well on this episode on the Beatles...we feature songs from the Rubber Soul album...just done by other groups other than the Beatles. That would have been too easy just to play there album straight thru. But we here give you another view of this album through the versions of other bands.BTW This is the old American version of the Rubber Soul album.RUBBER SOUL LPSide 11.

Real Beatlefans have been saying it on the DL (#JimmyButler) for years: "Who the hell needs Rubber Soul?" Certainly not “The Beatles Anthology”, which puts nearly as much emphasis on the 1965 classic as they do “The Beatles At The Hollywood Bowl” (Pre-Ron Howard Edition). OK so maybe it's not that bad, but c'mon Apple, it's RUBBER SOUL! (#HeyHey #Rip) For better AND worse, Beatles Anthology 5 is much like its predecessors; chock full of incredibly remastered footage and audio; while missing certain key elements for time or perhaps simply to please a mouse. (SFX: Buzzer) Sorry! “The Mouse”! Come join Tony, T.J., and Casey as we mansplain how men mansplain Beatles stuff, and since the rule of two mansplainings cancels things out, we'll ponder other life quandaries, like:
Helaas leverde 2025 geen langverwachte Rubber Soul Super Deluxe Edition op. Gaat ‘ie er nog komen? Boze tongen beweren dat Apple geen (verliesgevende) boxsets meer wil uitbrengen, maar daar wil Fab4Cast niet aan.

What if the sixth album is where artists finally step into their truest selves? We kick off season six by chasing that idea across genres and decades, building a mix from Radiohead, Bruce Springsteen, Kendrick Lamar, Prince, Beyoncé, The Beatles, Jay-Z, John Mayer, The National, Michael Jackson, Foo Fighters, and A Tribe Called Quest. The pattern that emerges is hard to ignore: at album six, craft meets courage, and the results can be seismic.We start with contrasts—Radiohead's brooding There, There and the stark intimacy of Springsteen's Nebraska—spotlighting how restraint can be as bold as maximalism. Kendrick's TV Off punches at the attention economy while delivering meme-worthy flair; Prince's Purple Rain towers as a career-defining epic that still feels alive. We trace personal and cultural stakes in Beyoncé's Formation, then pivot to The Beatles' Michelle to show how Rubber Soul reshaped their sound with subtle, melodic confidence.The timeline gets playful when Jay-Z's '03 Bonnie & Clyde foreshadows what Lemonade would later complicate. We celebrate narrative craft in John Mayer's Walt Grace, sit with The National's vulnerable “45%er” admission, and marvel at Thriller's near-greatest-hits density anchored by Billie Jean. Foo Fighters' The Pretender turns sixth-album freedom into kinetic fuel, and A Tribe Called Quest's We the People closes with legacy, politics, and gratitude—proof that a final statement can still move the culture forward.https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/sam-2026-6th-album-mix/pl.u-1LX0auZaGX7V1.

Episode 272 of Tom Clark's 6M Podcast continues the deep dive into The Beatles Anthology, as Tom Clark and Phil Lindsey review Parts 5 and 6. This episode covers the height of Beatlemania and the beginning of its collapse, from the chaos of Shea Stadium and relentless world touring to the creative leap represented by Rubber Soul and Revolver. The increasing divide between what the Beatles could create in the studio versus what they could reproduce on stage is apparent, as part 6 turns toward controversy, cultural backlash, and the end of touring altogether. How do Parts 5 and 6 capture the moment when the Beatles stopped being a live band and became something entirely new? Dive into that, and a lot more!

A smiling John Lennon on Monday Night Football. A blunt 1970 interview that cut through the post‑Beatles haze. A late‑night Bermuda epiphany triggered by the B‑52s. We stitch together these scenes to tell a clear story of return, risk, and the ache of what never happened.We revisit Lennon's sharp takes on early solo albums, then jump to Howard Cosell's halftime chat where “It's always in the wind” floated a reunion hope. From there we follow the thread to Double Fantasy: phone‑call songwriting with Yoko, the decision to interleave their tracks, and the electric but shelved Cheap Trick‑backed version of I'm Losing You. The music reveals a man choosing domestic honesty over spectacle, and that choice rings loud on Watching The Wheels and Beautiful Boy. We also sit with the shock of December 8, 1980—how news broke live on TV, how radio turned into a vigil, and how listeners discovered deep cuts and new meanings in the days that followed.The legacy keeps evolving. Anthology 1 brought Free As A Bird to life from a worn cassette, reminding us that imperfections can feel truer than polish. New restoration tools now separate voices from tape hiss, reframing classics without erasing their warmth, and sparking debate around releases like Now And Then. We dig into early Beatles gems, Pete Best's late payday, and why Rubber Soul still feels like the band's great hinge moment. Seasonal staples make an appearance too—Lennon's reflective Happy Xmas and McCartney's gloriously divisive Wonderful Christmastime—because these songs hold our calendars as much as our hearts.Come for the stories, stay for the connective tissue: how culture, technology, and memory keep Lennon present.

The Wolf & Action Jackson will admit they aren't the world's biggest Beatles fans. Though we appreciate their influence to help create the music we love through generations, we generally don't gravitate towards their albums. However, in researching Rubber Soul as it turns 60 on December 3, we gained new appreciation and respect for the Lads from Liverpool. They had grown up quite a bit in the last few years and found themselves writing more mature lyrics while experimenting with different sounds. The Beatles had met and befriended Bob Dylan and in their second trip to the US had met Elvis and formed mutual admiration societies with The Byrds, Motown and Stax. They experimented with LSD and the boys used to call Rubber Soul the pot album as they partook during the recording. So as they wove all those influencers into their own music, they also started to write more personal songs. Paul exchanged sweet nothings for standoffish goodbyes in songs like You Won't See Me and I'm Looking Through You. A contemplative John Lennon reminisces about growing up (In My Life) and the eternal search for that special someone (Girl). Young George Harrison was ready to step up to the plate with his own mature offerings like Think For Yourself and If I Needed Someone. The album was well received by peers and critics and is considered the point where the album became more than just a larger collection of songs but one statement from a moment in time. Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) was an international hit about an affair John had. Michelle seems like a sweet ode to a French girl when it was the boys making fun of Paul for trying to speak French at parties to meet girls. Even the big hit Drive My Car is very tongue in cheek about the silliness and pitfalls of fame. Though the oldest of them were 25, The Beatles proved they were more than just cute mop tops with guitars. They were artists pushing the envelope in the studio of what rock music could be. Rubber Soul was that next step in the evolution of the band and rock.

Greetings from America where it's our annual National-Murder-A-Turkey Week! We here at the UBP Home Office at tropical Meigs Field are beyond grateful for our listeners, our friends, our UBP families, our Patreon subscribers, Kohls Black Friday deals, and US Postal workers, who deserve our respect and a damn TIP around the holidays. This week, we show our gratitude for the many Beatles and solo Beatles projects in 2025, highlighted by the recent release of “Anthology 4”, which presents an exciting chance to buy “Something” (take 39, instrumental strings only) for the second time since 2019. (Who needs “Carnival Of Light” when you can have “Something” (take 39, instrumental strings only) on TWO pricey physical reissues?) The Turkey Trottin Two share their gratitude, and discuss a litany of holiday-themed Beatles news and releases. And they absolutely never sound like grumpy old dudes who'd rather have a deluxe Rubber Soul than a full slab of Threetles vinyl! Plus, in the spirit of the holiday season, they ponder/pander:
We are on the road to Episode 100, and number 95 can only start with a voicemail from a bonafide famous person that includes the story of two mice named Gary and Steve. From there we wonder if the story of the Beatles is a sad song, if the Beatles should have cameos in the Beatles movies, if Sam Whiles is still mad at our takes on seasonal Beatles records, if Paul's demo of this track was recorded on a voicemail to Jane, why the Beatles felt so rushed on Rubber Soul, if you should write breakup songs while staying in your girlfriend's parents home, if an Astin Martin leaves Liverpool at 3pm how long it takes to get to Jane's photo shoot, how many terms Becker has for hi-hats, and where the bounce is in Paul's "You Won't See Me."As always, you can find Team Blotto Beatles on Instagram (@blottobeatles) and Twitter / X (@blottobeatles), by emailing us (blottobeatles@gmail.com), or on the web (blottobeatles.com).

Steven Pinker returns to Conversations with Tyler with an argument that common knowledge—those infinite loops of "I know that you know that I know"—is the hidden infrastructure that enables human coordination, from accepting paper money to toppling dictators. But Tyler wonders: if most real-world coordination works fine without recursively looping (a glance at a traffic circle), if these models break down with the slightest change in assumptions, and if anonymous internet posters are making correct but uncomfortable truths common knowledge when society might function better with noble lies, is Pinker's theory really capturing how coordination works—and might we actually need less common knowledge, not more? Tyler and Steven probe these dimensions of common knowledge—Schelling points, differential knowledge, benign hypocrisies like a whisky bottle in a paper bag—before testing whether rational people can actually agree (spoiler: they can't converge on Hitchcock rankings despite Aumann's theorem), whether liberal enlightenment will reignite and why, what stirring liberal thinkers exist under the age 55, why only a quarter of Harvard students deserve A's, how large language models implicitly use linguistic insights while ignoring linguistic theory, his favorite track on Rubber Soul, what he'll do next, and more.

The Beatles grow up, plug into a sitar, and start writing for themselves.In this episode, the McGuigan Brothers dive into Rubber Soul, the moment everything changes. It's out with the covers and in with confessionals, fuzz bass, and French ballads. Track by track, we unpack Dylan's influence, the invention of album cohesion, and the sharp left turn that set the stage for Revolver and Sgt. Pepper.We also talk about the In My Life piano solo, the Help! leftover that still made the cut, and whether George's songs get enough love.
