  • Nearly unlistenable

    This used to be a fun podcast. But Peter has become insufferable. I don’t know what’s worse, the word salad he spews during the impressions segment, his childish persona during the story time portion or his grating sycophancy when there’s a guest. In short: He adds nothing to the episodes. I think I see now why their band broke up. Just let Kenyon do the show by himself.

    Update: I thought Peter was hard to listen to, but his “neighbor” makes him sound like freaking Hemingway. Enough with the di... more

  • Not perfect, but really good.

    Some of the factual content could be more thoroughly researched, but as a classical musician, Kenyon speaks my language and I like his musical analyses.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Night Before - Episode 91 with Rob Collier (Beatles Bass Lines)
Q: What role did George Martin play in shaping this track, and how does his orchestral version differ from the original?
Martin's orchestral approach adds a big-band texture that emphasizes the arrangement as a production decision, often lifting the happiness level of the performance and reducing the underlying melancholy, which some listeners find changes the song's core balance.
The Night Before - Episode 91 with Rob Collier (Beatles Bass Lines)
Q: How does The Night Before compare to other songs like She's a Woman in terms of key and modal feel?
It shares a bluesy-pop blend and a similar energetic groove, but The Night Before uses mode mixture elements and a more pronounced vocal delivery, giving it a distinct atmosphere that contrasts with the lighter phrasing of some contemporaries.
Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby - Episode 83 with Dan Rivkin (They May Be Parted)
Q: What do you think Beatles saw in Carl Perkins?
Dan thinks they loved his personal background and music, finding a connection there.
Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby - Episode 83 with Dan Rivkin (They May Be Parted)

Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby - Episode 83 with Dan Rivkin (They May Be Parted)
Q: Do you play music?
Dan plays guitar very amateurishly and was in a band in college.
