Ep. 25 | Deep Dish: Revolver LP

It's time to serve up a deep dish of The Beatles most colorful LP with a b/w cover.

In this episode, TJ and Tony talk ADT, LSD, Geoff Emerick recording techniques, and the Alan Civil War. Plus diversions into the goth Lennon & McCartney, Rupert the Bear, The Frogs, and the Soul Train Scramble Board.

Revolver's track-by-track musings come augmented with enough collector scum needle drops to power a small, fab village, including a sample of their favorite punching bag, 60s Capitol Records honcho Dave Dexter.

Turn off your mind, relax and float tangentially.

Ep. 14 | Help! LP (1965)

For the 55th anniversary of the Help! album, TJ and Tony go track by track, offering hot takes on Maureen Cleave and a cautionary tale for prospective buyers of the Back to the Future III soundtrack.

While Tony provides eagle-eared recording trivia yet fails to discern the difference between the Hofner and Hohner musical instrument companies, TJ speaks to the wonders of a new miracle drug called NUJV.

They also ponder the placement of Matchbox 20 on the Mt. Rushmore of Rock while doing their best not to get “PJ Probied.”

Ep. 10 | Mono/Stereo Nerdout!

What’s the deal with The Beatles in Mono?

Bird chirps and squeak toys? Extra droplets of fab scat? Lattice cut sound pies?

TJ and Tony meander thru the magical minutiae of the Beatles monaural and stereophonic records, with detours into US LP quirks, the creepy Beach Boys, and the Honus Wagner T206 tobacco card of Beatle releases. Plus a snippet of “I’m So Tired (Overdub Track 8).”
