    Things We Said Today #387 – Albert Glinsky on Bob Moog, his Synthesizer & the Beatles [CORRECTED]

                In episode 387 of Things We Said Today, Ken Michaels, Allan Kozinn and Darren Devivo speak with the composer and author Albert Glinsky about his new book, “Switched On – Bob Moog and the Synthesizer Revolution,” and the use of the Moog by the Beatles, George Harrison, Paul McCartney and other pop musicians (and films and TV shows).
                At one point, Ken mentions an isolation of the Moog and string parts in “Here Comes the Sun.” Here is a link that clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAiNvG-JXsg

    Things We Said Today #386 – Celebrating George Harrison’s 80th Birthday

                In episode 386 of Things We Said Today, Ken Michaels, Allan Kozinn and Darren Devivo celebrate what would have been George Harrison’s 80th birthday by each choosing five deep cuts – tracks that we feel should be better-known and better-appreciated than they are – as well as our top five Harrison albums (not counting “All Things Must Pass,” which we are assuming is at or near the top of everyone’s lists).

Episode titles

The titles of the more recent episodes don’t match up with the content. Where’s the one on Revolver?

Brad Fleg ,

Out of touch

I really think you are out of touch with how most Beatles fans feel about Yoko. Surely there are other better, less frequent, topics. Maybe some younger fans who haven't heard the Nagra tapes and only watched Peter Jackson's white washed Get Back have a different impression of Yoko quietly knitting during the Let it Be sessions. But she was the single most destructive catalyst in breaking up the Beatles. As far as her being an "Important" artist, which has become a quite trendy theme among Beatle talking heads,
ever seen her films from the 60's? Less interesting than watching paint dry.

Fab-astute dudes taking rabbit-hole journeys…

Decided to check this out after seeing it suggested for so long as per my Beatles p’cast-devouring habit. They know their Fab-stuff (esp. Kozinn) but take needless minutes starting/going off-topic during eps. Took a whole 20+ mins. to approach main topic in #373 (John & Paul similarities) after rambling on with takes on a Revolver reissue that they hadn’t heard in full or come out at the time. A good deal of figurative gun-adhering from one of ‘em to takes & opinions that display a distaste to see their moptops in any other light except their own when hearing POV’s of others. I could go on with other points of discontent w/this cast but long & short is these podcast falls short when it comes to Beatle-gabbing IMO.
