Bonus Episode! Andy On WJTB Radio

A special bonus episode!
 
Andy made an appearance on NJIT's Radio Station WJTB this past week on the show "Dylan's Jams' one of his former students. He asked him to be a part of a special episode focused on the Beatles. The announcement of "Now & Then" and the Red/Blue album reissues wasn't announced before we scheduled the show so it was a nice timing coincidennce.  

Episode 226: Electric Arguments!

Finally! After a few years and many requests we finally take a deep dive into the 3rd Fireman album, 2008's Electric Arguments'. Arguably what could be considered another solo album like McCartney II or III, this album 15 years on has been lost a bit with the embarrassment of studio albums released between 2005 and now. Tom could not make this week's show, so joining Andy is original 2Legs Co-Founder David Gargalino.
We talk Beatles/Now & Then and also dive into a little bit of prog rock with YES/King Crimson talk towards the end! Does this album still resonate for you? It does for us (maybe even more now). Let us know!

Episode 225: ”Documentaries!”

Well, sort of. This week on the show Tom and Andy (with a big thank you to our friend Kyle Hand for the suggestion) come up with 3 documentaries we would like to see produced (Beatles Anthology style) on certain eras in Paul's career. How would the narrative be told etc. Fun little exercise. We like our choices. What eras would you choose? 

Bonus Episode! GOT BACK Australian Tour Show Reaction!

"Fans On The Run" Mega Fan Joan Borelli and her friend Matt Haines joined us for a recap of the first show of the GOT BACK Tour which is now Down Under in Australia for the first time since 2017!

Episode 224: ’Helen Wheels’ at 50!

Tom and Andy return for a new show for October! This week we have a quick chat about 'Helen Wheels' which celebrates it's 50th Anniversary this month. Our thoughts on the song as a standalone single, and it's "lost in the shuffle" status among so many other gigantic 70s hits. We also discuss the marketing decision for the US market to include it on Band On The Run from Capitol A&R man Al Coury.
What say you? Should it be on the LP or not. 
We'll take a tally and discuss on our next show! Come on UK fans!!! :)
 
Good to be back!

Episode 223: ”As Good As The Beatles” (Part 2 - 80s/90s)

Part 2 of this! Tom is back after a week off, and we pick 15 songs from the 1980s/1990s McCartney Catalog that we feel are "As Good As The Beatles".
Hope you like it! Tell us some of yours! See ya next week!

Episode 222: ”Yesterday”... And Today

Throwback Show! One of the co-founders of 2Legs joined Andy this week as Tom has been crazy busy and needed the week off, so I was joined by none other than Mr. David Gargalino for Episode 222!
David and Tom started 2Legs in 2016 and this week David tells us how it started, some notable guests, and why he exited. David and Andy discuss all things Beatles, McCartney (our fav lineups) and even the recent Who's Next/Lifehouse box set.
(Andy unboxed on his channel - Who's Next Unboxing
Thanks for pinch hitting this week David!

Episode 221: ”That Was Me” (Dr. Richard Driver)

Hello All!
Another Guest Author Interview! This week Tom and Andy were joined by Dr. Richard Driver, Author of the new book That Was Me: Paul McCartney's Career and Legacy Of The Beatles.
Richard's book analyses The Beatles' impact culturally in America, and then Paul's trajectory throughout the 60s. The majority of his book is all about Paul Solo (which we all love since so many books are not written that way). We contextualise some of the Beatles impact during the 60s during our discussion which was quite fun. ("Popular Than Jesus"/"Two Virgins"/Drugs etc). Paul and his workaholic lifestyle as a coping mechanism. And of course discussion on Paul/Wings and the like. All fun stuff.
Richard is a 2nd generation fan who caught the Macca bug circa the Flaming Pie era. It was a very fun discussion and we really look forward to having Richard on again!
