  1. Untitled Beatles Spring Cleaning

    HACE 14 H

    Untitled Beatles Spring Cleaning

    The guys are back (even if their voices aren't), and catch up on all the wild Beatlenews and Beatlereleases from the past few weeks. It's been a hard day's fortnight, & Tony & T.J. have been working like dogs to buy, rent, or look at the following: New Paul album, new Ringo album, new John meditation mixes, new George Dark Horse label re-releases, new Wings documentary & soundtrack, new John concert movie, new documentary about Paul's lost bass, Evolver 62 documentary now streaming, and a new one-person show in Chicago about The Beatles by actor/writer (& Chicagoan!) Brendan Hunt, aka Coach Beard on Ted Lasso! Whew!  The guys also discuss how Bob Eubanks and Dick Biondi, announcing together at the Hollywood Bowl, both said "The Beatles" at the same time -- which possibly gave Eubanks the idea for The Newlywed Game, where couples try to say the same things about places where they made "whoopee". Speaking of Dark Horse records, T.J.'s voice is especially dark & hoarse -- like George's voice on Dark Horse! Perhaps from running on a dark racecourse? And as George Martin says, dark horses for dark courses. But what about your father's dark horse? Of dark course, Henry the Dark Horse danced the waltz, & then The Beatles ate him in Germany for Christmas dinner. Very dark, indeed.

  2. Ninth Beatle Bracket (Windy City Edition!)

    28 MAR

    Ninth Beatle Bracket (Windy City Edition!)

    Everybody clap your hands, the UBP is Happy Just To Big Dance With You! That’s right: it’s March Fabness once again, and that means it’s time to crown the official, legally-Calderstone-sanctioned 9th Beatle Bracket, A Ron Howard Motion Picture. This year’s Beatle Bracket, much like the origins of the Fab 5, begins and ends in Chicago! From the Beatles BBC sessions recorded during the WLS Barn Dance, to the infamous rooftop concert atop Second City’s Pipers Alley parking lot, Chicago was the home of every significant Beatles event. Few will forget John’s touching tribute to his favorite retail emporium as a young tough, “Strawberry Marshall Fields Forever”. And much as Eleanor Rigby darned her White Sox in the night while there was nobody there (“there” being a May day game at Comiskey against the Royals - NOBODY CAME), Tony, T.J. and Producer Casey face some Malort-worthy matchups, featuring 312-flavored Beatlefigures everyone absolutely knows. And while you are only waiting for this one shining moment to arise, the boys must first settle some other business on the hardwood/hard would, such as: ☘ Did Howlin’ Frank Ifield invent Chicago blues? 🕶 Why in the fresh hell did late 80’s, Rose Records offshoot The Entertainment Outlet, always have so many $.49 cut-out cassette copies of Stevie Wonder’s “In Square Circle”? 💎🧻 (Angry Chicago Guy. He smells like a Jewel bathroom. Because there’s no cameras in there.) AIN’T NO BEATLES WITHOUT JANET DAVIES AND MARK GIANGRECO PROVE ME WRONG?   EPISODE LINKS View and print the 2026 UBP Ninth Beatle Bracket!

  3. George Harrison, "Cloud Nine" (1987) Side 2

    14 MAR

    George Harrison, "Cloud Nine" (1987) Side 2

    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: 😈 Whilst (look it up, pal) listening to the 8-Track of “Cloud 9”, do most/moist Harrison fans prefer “Devil’s Radio” (Beginning) or “Devil’s Radio” (Conclusion)? And what meta, psychological data does that provide about the listener? 🐣 Is the UBP so “woke” (ed note: gross) that they won’t let their fans eat Big League Chicken Chew before a little league game? 🏝 (Angry Chicago Guy, he’s angrily waving a dirty, BMG Record Club, CD copy of “The Immaculate Collection”. It belonged to his wife, before she moved to Hammond to "find herself":) HOW COME “LA ISLA BONITA” AIN’T NO BONUS TRACK ON NO “CLOUD 9” REISSUE?   EPISODE LINKS Check out UBP's videos on  TikTok/YouTube/Facebook/Instagram!
