BONUS Ep. 45 | Klaatu’s 3:47 EST (1976)
In the heat of the mid-70s desperate anticipation of a Beatles reunion, the mysterious Canadian band Klaatu released an out-of-this-world album that listeners couldn't help but speculate had been secretly recorded by... some other fabulous foursome. Tony and TJ pick apart the enduring enigma surrounding 3:47 EST. And, in the process:
Tony spins one of his favorite Carpenters tracks
TJ finds a way to tie it all back to 80s TV and musical theater
And we all get to finally dispel some of the wild Beatles/Klaatu rumors with cold, hard facts.
It's probably only about once a year that we're able to dedicate an entire bonus episode to such a controversial topic. As always, we aim to bring you enlightenment and some fun, in hopes that the eyes in your head will see the world spinning round.
