It’s Rubber Soul! Hey Hey! The first “important” Beatles album…until the “Help” boxed-set next year? Is that how this works, Calderstoners?
Tony and T.J. continue to explore the wonders of the new Rubber Soul deluxe edition, focusing on Side 2 and its corresponding demos and alt takes. As previously mentioned, this very “important” Beatles record - T.J.’s favourite, but only the specific U.S. 8-track running order - deserves the kind of careful analysis that you absolutely won’t get here. Because we’ve taken edibles. Are they legal? Yes. Are we driving? No. So stick it with the judgment and help us answer these queries:
✂️ Is whomever did the online smashup of “Little Girl” and “I’m Only Sleeping” also responsible for “The Beatles Movie Medley” (non-Casey remix)?
😿 (Angry Chicago Barfly Guy, He’s pretty white for a Barfly Guy; and also drunk and sad): “Rubber Soul is OK and all but how come ALF reruns ain’t on Channel 32 no more? And how come I can’t dress as ALF no more for Halloween without being cancelled”?
🎸 Do you think Barack Obama is more angry at Macca for writing the seductive ballad “Michelle”, or at Andru Donalds for writing the even more seductive ballad, and - arguably - the 1990’s most famous song, “Mishale”?
🇺🇸 The Untitled Beatles Podcast encourages all of our American listeners to VOTE this Tuesday, preferably not for jagbags who live their lives antithetical to The Beatles music and message of love; and instead thrive on taking rights from people and causing chaos. Make a voting plan, and as Tone Loc (TM) once said, “Let Do It”? #RuleOfFours #TheMoreYouKnow #Vote!
