  • Abbey Road by The Beatles Part Two
    Jun 1 2025

    What the hell is going on with Here Comes the Sun? Don't worry, we don't know either... until after the podcast, where I found the answer for real! This side has a sweeping medley, and although the reviews are a bit mixed from the panel (I tried to sell it, y'all. Don't be mad Beatles fans... I'm with you). We all agree on why this album is THE prototype and is emulated so often. We all agree on its place in history and its place at/near the top of the greatest albums of all time!

  • Abbey Road by The Beatles Part One
    Jun 1 2025

    We are DOING IT!! We are reviewing essentially "The Bible," and honestly, this one scared me a little bit! I mean, every moment is documented. But we wanted to talk about it and had to break it into a couple of episodes because, well, it's THE BEATLES! Do you have something to say about this band? I mean THE band! not the band called "the band"... I think you get it. Check in for part two next week!
