Blotto Beatles

It's our 100th episode!  
We celebrate with a call from our attorney, a discussion of the Beatles casting, the first installment of our Beatles Actor Book Club series, more conversation about face filler than we thought possible, curiosities about Lennon's legacy across generations, and a look back through the years of Bloto Beatles.  All the while we are joined by our incredible guest Sophie C. who brought a banger of a track with "Don't Let Me Down."

We start episode 99 with a classic Blotto Beatles Del Shannon/Dave Pirner mix up.  From there, we spend 10 minutes quoting Schwarzenegger, discussing our favorite Christmas music, offering an A-Paul-ogy, forgetting which songs we've talked about, creating a ramp up plan for the upcoming Beatles movies, revisiting pants, soliciting for SunCruiser sponsorships, and questioning a change in the Beatles with the Hard Day's Night closer, "I'll Be Back."

Do you like cease and desist letters from Paul McCartney dramatically read by Canadians?  Then you've come to the right place.  After that, episode 98 kicks off in earnest with a discussion o which Beatle would be the best to go on a road trip with, a little more Anthology reflection, Andrew Dice Clay and Mitch Hedburg talking Beatles, and a big Beatles track with our new friend, actor and musician Andrew Gower, who maybe turns us around on the Phil Spector produced, The Long and Winding Road.
Andrew was a heck of a guest and is a wonderful musician.  Check out his band Gustaffson wherever you get your music.

What was it that made Paul McCartney's bass sound so unique?  We dive into that before welcoming our amazing guest, Diallo Riddle, and talking best Beatles roommates, a lot of Pee Wee's Big Adventure, the strange creepiness of The Magical Mystery Tour Cover, and the sped up b-side Rain.  Is it the best Beatles cover?  Where does it land on our big old list?  Listen in to find out.

We had to start in the way all of the Beatlesphere is this week, with a reflection on the release of Beatles Anthology 2025.  Once we express our feelings on that, we transition into our episode proper and cover rock bands with two lives, our Beatles themed tombstones, some Paul love, some Jeff Tweedy love, mixed feeling on James McCartney, and the Beatles Beverly Hills phase.  From there we are joined by our favorite neighbor from the North, Ethan Alexanian, to discuss a little more about James McCartney and the Brill Building cover, Chains.
