  1. 2025.41 Single Fantasy Pt. 2 Ringo (and Paul!)

    4 DAYS AGO

    2025.41 Single Fantasy Pt. 2 Ringo (and Paul!)

    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.

    2025.40 Looking for Lennon (review/overview)

    Lonnie Pena and I dive into YouTube (and BluRay/DVD) as we consider the 2018 Documentary "Looking For Lennon".    David Bedford and Roger Appleton consider the Lennons as they came to Liverpool from Ireland, through to Alf and Julia, and then young John's unconventional upbringing from Mimi and Julia, and how all this would lead to Lennon's reaction to schooling and authority, which would eventually lead to meeting one James Paul McCartney, and changing the world.

  3. 2025.39 Single Fantasy! Paul and Ringo!

    2025.39 Single Fantasy! Paul and Ringo!

    This week we play a little "What If" and consider what Paul might choose to play were he and Ringo to decide to go on the road for a tour of indeterminate length.      More Beatles?    More solo?    Would he take advantage of the "Wings-mania" that (hopefully) will be running the country in the next few months?    Marv and I consider the possibilities and playlists, with Ringo's side (eventually) to follow!

    22 SEPT

    2025.38 Hari, Oates ... and Idle?

    Lots of funny costumes this month, as George, Eric, Neil, the Splinter Boys, Hall and Oates all hang out together.      They are joined by Macca, Spinal Tap, news concerning Paul's additional tour dates, Ringo talking about Mae West (but not her sweaty vest), and others!

  5. 2025.37 Splinter, Larry Hosford, Legs Larry Smith, Tom Scott, George Harrison ... and Wings?

    14 SEPT

    2025.37 Splinter, Larry Hosford, Legs Larry Smith, Tom Scott, George Harrison ... and Wings?

    The next disc in "Looney" turns into a discussion of the "Wings Anthology".       We talk, clips of Paul (and friends) covering many of the songs on the LP, and chat concerning John and Paul in the seventies.     We do finally get to "George and..." (it will be completed next week), as we talk about songs George guests on from Splinter (their second album, including ... a bit of Japanese), Tom Scott, "Legs" Larry Smith, and his namesake Larry Hosford.      A Paul and George week, with some John and Ringo too!   #madeonzencastr.

    2025.36 Lennon Acoustic

    Martin and I go back a bit more than twenty years to a time before Superdeluxe Editions, when the Lennon estate was uncertain of the best way to proceed.    Their decision?    An album called "Acoustic."    Part "Unplugged", part "Live", part "Unreleased"     Unfortunately, too much of it felt like "Sampler for the Lennon Anthology we just released."    Has time helped, hurt, or not changed the reputation, feel and listen-ability of this release.    We give it a spin and let you know what we think!

  7. 2025.35 Revolver vs. Pepper

    1 SEPT

    2025.35 Revolver vs. Pepper

    Lonnie Pena and I talk Anthologies 1-3, the previous video releases, and fun with Disney+.    We follow with thoughts on the last twenty years of "Revolver" and "Sgt. Pepper".     Rolling Stone Magazine has had Pepper on a bit of a downward trajectory (it was "the greatest album of all time in 2003"), while Revolver has maintained a higher standing.     Why?   Was it the standardization of the catalogue?   CDs?    Streaming?   Psychedelia?    All this and more...   #madeonzencastr.

    2025.34 Woman is ... + Anthology 4

    Jon Stone, Marv and I chat about the elephant in the room concerning the new Lennon "Power to the People" box, contemplate the original "Some Time in New York City", and (with a little help from our friendly neighborhood Tarot card reader) do some divination on the newly announced "Anthology 4".     #madeonzencastr.
