(Anything But The Beatles) Episode 1: "The Who Sell Out" (1967) Apr 24, 2021

To borrow a TV term welcome to a "spin-off"!

This is a monthly installment where two music geeks (Andy & Ethan) discuss their favourite albums by artists other than the Beatles. (What a refreshing idea!)

As we are both hardcore Who fans (Ethan = 60s Who, Andy = 70s Who) we decided our first show should center in on the Who's 3rd studio LP "The Who Sell Out". Tying in with the recently released Super Deluxe Box Set celebrating the album we felt this was a good starting point.

We also discuss the post "Sell Out" but pre-Tommy period of 1968 and what an odd ball period it was for the group.

We may actually like the jingles better than the songs! Impersonations, accents, bad singing it's all here.

"What's for tea mum?'

Fans On The Run - Steve Matteo (Ep. 60) Apr 16, 2021

It’s Friday, so it can only mean one thing, it’s time for another episode of Fans On The Run!

Joining me today is a longtime music journalist, and author of the ‘Let It Be’ installment of the 33 1/3 series of books, Steve Matteo! We cover a lot of topics including the joys of Graham Nash, the age old fear of the tape recorder not working during an important interview, lavish box sets from John Mayall and King Crimson, a cancelled 2004 DVD release of the ‘Let It Be’ film, the slow collapse of The Beatles and their inner circle, the Shea Stadium concert recording and why it hasn’t been released properly in a long time, potential dream Beatle releases, the pack mentality of the music press, and in a roundabout way, the first ever FoTR call in!

This episode is available to stream wherever good podcasts can be heard!

Fans On The Run - Lizzie Bravo (Ep. 59) Apr 09, 2021

No rest for the wicked, Fans On The Run is back! Joining me as my guest for today is a fan, an author and one of very few outsiders to appear on a Beatle record, Lizzie Bravo! We talk about camping out in the cinema to watch a Beatles film clip over and over, moving to London in February of 1967 because of the fabulous foursome, spending her free time hanging around EMI Studios, being in the audience for the Hendrix concert at the Saville two days after Pepper’s release, her story of how she got to be on the Across The Universe recording, meeting Paul at his house to borrow a tape player, and much more! Much, much more!

Ethan Alexanian in conversation with "Whispering Bob" Harris (2021) Apr 06, 2021

I recently had the opportunity to sit down again with my friend “Whispering Bob” Harris for another wonderful chat! We talked about the sixties British pirate radio stations, the last radio performance of Syd Barrett, the origins of the Time Out magazine, the vinyl release of Stand By Me 2020, a trivia game about Bob’s favourite record label, and much more! Check it out, why don’t you?

Fans On The Run - Cha-Chi Loprete (Ep. 58) Feb 27, 2021

It’s time for another episode of Fans On The Run, and sadly it’s gonna be the last for about a month! I’ll be taking a much needed break, and not use my vocal chords the entire duration of it (or something like that). That being said, today’s (should have been yesterday, but oh well) episode is a great one. Joining me is the host of New England’s Breakfast With The Beatles, Cha-Chi Loprete! We talk about gifted butcher covers, mailing records to George Harrison to be signed, the expensive (for 1970) “All Things Must Pass” box, dinner at John Eastman’s house with Paul, how he got started in radio, the DJs he remembers that inspired him, and so much more! Much like James Bond, FoTR will return.

Fans On The Run - Max Comeau (Ep. 57) Feb 19, 2021

Oh, hey there, it’s time for another episode of Fans On The Run! Joining me today is singer/songwriter/fellow Canadian, Max Comeau! We talk about a re-introduction to The Beatles thru “Reel Music”, memories of the hype surrounding “Free As A Bird” and “Anthology”, Sam The Record Man, ruining a concert experience with setlist websites, the influence of Paul on Max’s music, getting to know yourself through a Beatles song, “Dear Eloise” by The Hollies, and a rather shaky attempt at pandering to my Québec audience!

It’s time for another groovy episode of Fans On The Run! Joining me today is the co-host of BC The Beatles, the fabulous Allison Boron! We’re all over the place here talking about the 1993 fatboy jewel-case versions of the Red and Blue albums, old Angelfire domain names, getting into The Beatles through The Monkees, the early Beatles internet fan community, the everlasting appeal of the story of Brian Epstein, price-gouged Woodstock box sets, sexism in the Beatle-world, the late great Limewire, and much, much more!

Fans On The Run - Charlie De Cosa (Ep. 55) Feb 05, 2021

Woohoo, it’s Friday! Time for a new episode of everybody’s favourite (citation needed) Beatles podcast, Fans On The Run!

Joining me today for what is now the longest single part episode of the show, is a member of the tribute band BeatleBeat, and veteran of the Floridian Beatles tribute scene, Charlie De Cosa! We talk about a lot of things in this episode, like we really cover a lot of ground. We talk about not getting used to hearing Sgt. Pepper with pops or crackles, reflecting on purging a vinyl collection back in the era of CDs, a brief lesson on the history of NRBQ, the scattered re-runs of The Beatles cartoon in the Eighties, ‘Kiss Meets The Phantom Of The Park’, learning to love your Höfner, separating the art from the artist, guilty pleasure bands, cheating in Nickelodeon phone-in competitions, the mystical world of Parrothead-ism, the stereotype of the “florida man”, the chaotic nature of The Who’s early music videos, and for the first time in the show’s history, a joke so offensive I had to bleep it out.

This episode is available to stream everywhere good podcasts can be heard!

Fans On The Run - Paul Salley (Ep. 54) Jan 29, 2021

Friday is here once again, and so is Fans On The Run. Joining me today is the author of the long-awaited forthcoming book “Little Wing: The Jimmy McCulloch Story”, Paul Salley, and much like Jimmy himself, this episode is short but sweet! (by FoTR standards) We talk about some notorious Jimmy myths including “that photo from that one book”, the paradox of owning a Beatle calendar before listening to their music, the Wingspan documentary, the moniker of “that Beatles kid” at school being passed down through the generations, how Jimmy joined, then subsequently left The Small Faces in less than a year, the magic of the band One In A Million, and of course some talk about that one band (hint: Denny Laine was in it for a while) and much more!

We have an absolute vinyl-geek-fest today talking about everything from the social dynamic of the local record store, seeing the Free As A Bird video for the first time, the allure of imports, the absolute anomaly that is “The Beatles In Italy”, holy grails, the perks of being a second generation collector, “The Beatles Vs. The Four Seasons”, Canadian records with alternate mixes, the true stereo version of "Yesterday and Today", and much, much more!

It’s time for another “fab” episode of Fans On The Run! It is Friday, after all. I’m joined by my co-host over on “When They Was Fab: Electric Arguments About The Beatles”, Ed Chen! (Although, this episode was recorded before I was officially announced as a co-host)

In this episode we talk about the supply and demand of Rutles 8 Track Tapes, the Bee Gees’ Sgt. Pepper “selling gold, and returning platinum”, attractive hype stickers, the origins of the term “Dutch Import” in terms of bootlegs, nefarious laughing, the post Beatlefest ratings boost for the Beatle podcats, the laziness of the 1988 Imagine movie, “My Ding-A-Ling”, a plugging misfire, and three different technical failures that were fixed in the edit! All that and more, you absolutely need to listen!

We talk about the last few Beatles deluxe editions, “The Beatles At The Beeb” series, Chip’s involvement with The Capitol Albums boxes in the mid 2000s, the utter confusion that is the many versions of Band On The Run on CD, the pre-internet research process for the original version of Eight Arms, some highlights of his vast collection, documenting the life of John down to the day, and the mystical world of bootlegs, among many other things!

As the clock strikes twelve, a new year dawns. As the new year approaches, so does this very special celebratory 50th episode special of Fans On The Run! Friend of the show (and "queen of all Beatles media" Kit O'Toole joins us once again, but to flip the script of the show and ask me about my Beatles story! We talk about being mesmerized by the track number changing on my CD player during my first listen of the "Blue Album", indoctrinating several friends to this band on the playground, driving across town in a desperate search of the DVD for “A Hard Day’s Night”, my Michael Jackson phase of music, the genesis of this show, seeing purple Kool Aid when I first walked into the Fest For Beatles Fans and fearing the worst, long-term plans for the show, bailing out Ken Womack in a trivia contest, some special messages, and a big announcement from yours truly, along with much, much more!

Fans On The Run - Laurence Juber (Ep. 49) Dec 25, 2020

“Every time a bell rings, a podcast meets some Wings”

It’s a Christmas miracle, the special finale to the Christmas-lead-up-two-a-week-episode-schedule of Fans On The Run! You may be sad that we’ll be going back down to once a week, but today we have a guest who will not disappoint. It’s Laurence Juber! We talk about his start as a session musician in the 70s, his guitar influences, a crash course in pre-decimal British money, December 1963 (no, not the Four Seasons song), how he became a Wing-man, what started his Beatles fingerstyle guitar album series, the terminology describing Lute players, the guitar he bought before that fateful trip to Japan in 1980, Christmas Music, and much, much more!

Fans On The Run - Richard Buskin (Ep. 48) Dec 22, 2020

It’s beginning to look a lot like, a new episode of your favourite show, Fans On The Run! In this episode, I’m joined by a New York Times bestselling author, and the co-host of fellow podcast The Beatles Naked, Richard Buskin! We talk about Beatles political cartoons, “Swinging London” and Carnaby Street, practicing the “Lennon Stance” with a plastic Beatle toy guitar, the joys of Sixties pirate radio, a bizarre tale of a school performance of “All You Need Is Love” in the summer of love, the most extensive mention of Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich that this show has ever seen, Richard’s tailor father making suits for The Troggs to wear on “Top Of The Pops”, how he got a bestselling book in the USA, and the emotional response to seeing Paul McCartney getting mobbed outside the MPL offices, and more!

Fans On The Run - Connie Mclean (Ep. 47) Dec 19, 2020

It’s Friday, so you already know there’s gonna be a new episode of FoTR coming right at you! Joining me today, is a very prevalent member of the Beatles social media world, an ambassador of sorts of the 60s fashion revival, and fellow member of the “new generation”, Connie Mclean! We talk about shouting suggestive comments at The Rolling Stones on stage, sexism within the greater Beatles community, “McLennon”, that time she saw Paul, Ringo and Ronnie Wood at the O2, dancing around the fact I have not seen “Almost Famous”, the differences in pronunciation of “Beatles” across the Atlantic, the correct answer to ‘what’s your favourite Led Zeppelin album?’, and this show’s tendency to ramble on a bit. All that and more? You’d be insane not to listen!

Fans On The Run - Caitlin Larkin (Ep. 45) Dec 11, 2020

It's Friday, so logic indicates that it is time for another FoTR! In this episode, I am joined by one of the most prolific members of the social media Beatles world, plus my first guest with a TikTok page, Caitlin Larkin! We cover a lot of ground in this relatively short (sort-of) interview, like the rite of passage of any Beatles fan of journeying over to Liverpool, the whereabouts of the original Magical Mystery Tour bus, a proverbial tour of the "secret" Beatles corridor at the Hard Rock Cafe in Orlando, temper tantrums at Sam Goody, dealing with price gouging at record stores, Funko Pops, buying CD box sets for almost the exclusive purpose of decoration, taking Beatles tours from other former FoTR guests, staying up late as a kid to watch "The Beatles Anthology", and the strange allure of a Beatles cease and desist!

Fans On The Run - Simon Weitzman (Ep. 44) Dec 08, 2020

Is it time for a new episode of FoTR already? Yes it is! Today I had the pleasure to have a chat with author, documentarian, and all around creative type Simon Weitzman! As it tends to happen with this show, we jump around all over the place with this conversation; the revival of the mixtape, déjà vu, working with Tom Murray on the book about the "Mad Day Out" photo shoot, a burning question of mine about The Small Faces and the live satellite broadcast of "All You Need Is Love", déjà vu, exploring the BFI archives on the movie "Help!", the act of wearing one's needle out playing Rubber Soul, comparing the big international Beatle gatherings, a startling claim about "Revolution 9", "Ferris Bueler's Day Off", the compassion of the Beatles community, the genesis of the "Here There and Everywhere" documentary, and my seeming contractual obligation to mention Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich at least once per episode.

In this discussion with the author of "NEMS and the Business of Selling Beatles Merchandise in the U.S. 1964-1966" Terry Crain, we cover a provebial smorgasbord of topics! Unnoficial record players, the mad rush of the morning of Febuary 10th, 1964, nostalgia for the "Paul is Dead" rumour, the fate of the original moulds of the Remco model kits, the era of Beatle historians hyperfixated on certain areas of Beatle knowledge, and an instance of yours truly misremembering an unnoficial "Beat Time" pinball machine!

We talk about arranging Beatles songs for live performances, post-Stanley Cup hockey parties, the impact of the original "Beatlemania" show, the excitement surrounding "The Beatles At The Hollywood Bowl" LP, the futile persuit of audiophile perfection, the "Rose Morris" Rickenbacker export models, the original movie mix of "Help!", and a new nickname for yours truly! All that, and much more, but you'll just have to listen for yourself!

This episode is available to stream everywhere good podcasts can be heard!
