  • Stuffy arrogance

    Have to respect their knowledge and experience but Jeesh talk about pompous and condescending…hard to listen to, and maybe try being a little bit more optimistic and positive, so much negativity.

  • Wish they were a little less negative

    I have listened to this show a few of times and have noticed that while the hosts are obviously very knowledgeable they seem to be overly critical about anything produced after 2000. They seem to be intentionally seeking out negatives and then making rather too much of them. I particularly noticed this in the episode about Man on the Run. Come on guys, try and be a bit more positive occasionally.🙂

  • Latest news on Beatle stuff

    This is a great podcast to get discussion from two recognized Beatle experts on new going-on in the Beatle world. Not reviews of old albums or lists of favorite songs. Steve runs a website that provides daily news on the Beatles today and brings those updates here for discussion, often including other Beatle experts and authors to help the discussion. Highly recommended if you're still one of us following The Beatles.

  • Some good information but a lot of engineering issues

    Guys often your mics are so static and distorted. It’s almost uncomfortable listening to your show. You guys gotta get a better engineer or better equipment because your podcasts are not sounding very good. particular your last episode it was just so distorted and trebly and it’s not my equipment.

Things We Said Today #471 – “Starting Over With John & Yoko”
Q: How would you describe a little bit more in detail what those feelings are like between the two of them and the way that they related to you?
Farrington says Yoko was focused on maintaining secrecy and managing the session, while Lennon appeared energized and ready to play. Womack adds that the period was stressful because they feared the secret would get out and Lennon might not follow through.
Things We Said Today #471 – “Starting Over With John & Yoko”
Q: How did you determine the qualities that you wanted in the shot?

Things We Said Today #468 – A chat with Nick DeRiso of Ultimate Classic Rock
Q: What is Nick's thought process when ranking John Lennon deep cuts?
He describes ranking as subjective and evolving, emphasizing personal relationship with each song, and notes that US chart performance and release history shape the criteria, while acknowledging that lists are influenced by the moment and publication aims.
Things We Said Today #463 – Luca Perasi on “London Town”
Q: In what way did you see London Town as a turning point?
The guest notes the shift in co-writing dynamics with Danny Lane and the move toward more experimental arrangements, suggesting it set the stage for later Wings projects like Back to the Egg.

Q: How was this an adventurous album?
He points to the bold use of synthesizers, the coexistence of folk elements with experimental textures, and the willingness to experiment with arrangement and collaboration as defining features of its adventurous nature.
