A Conversation with Beatle Books, aka Joe Wisby: Paul or Nothing Bonus Episode #62. Mar 26, 2021

Show notes

Greeting everyone,
It's my absolute pleasure this week to speak with Joe Wisby of Beatle Books fame, and as you may have guessed, we're gonna talk a bit about books, and a bit about the Beatles...maybe even combined!
Beatle Books is both an excellent podcast, and addictive instagram page that centred on the FAB four in print form. The podcast is an incredible deep dive down through the Beatles bibliography, and the instagram page...is for showing off quite frankly! Twas' a real treat speaking with Joe and I can't wait to speak with him again!

We don't normally have much hype here at Paul or Nothing, but when I mentioned having Beatle Books on the show, you all lost your collective shit. So I won't keep you...
Peace & love. Hare Hare Krishna.

McCartney Album Covers, with (Phoebe from) Another Kind of Mind #3 Mar 20, 2021

Show notes

Hey everyone, and welcome back to another episode of Paul or Nothing.
Today we continue with our discussion centring on the album artwork of Paul's solo efforts. I am joined, once again, by Phoebe of both the "Another Kind of Mind", and the brand new "One Sweet Dream" podcasts.
This episode is the first of three one-one episodes with all the AKOM hosts, and Phoebe has bravely bitten the bullet and been kind enough to join me first! You'd think being two bandmates down that we would be more focussed, on-topic and streamlined...you'd think...

Peace & love. Hare Hare Krishna.

Listen with Sam: Venus and Mars (1975) Feb 24, 2021

Show notes

Hey there y'all! I told you the next "Listen With Sam" was going to be sooner than the last didn't I?

Yes, welcome back to another instalment of "Listen With Sam" where we sit back and relax with a Paul McCartney record and listen it. Easy right? Well, sadly you have to hear me yammer about said music, but I'll try to make it interesting. This time, we have 1975's Venus and Mars.

Please enjoy, and don't expect Wings at the Speed of Sound till I get around to some other sorely neglected side series...

Peace & love. Hare Hare Krishna.

Listen with Sam: Band on the Run (1973) Feb 12, 2021

Show notes

Hello everyone, it's been a long while since we have done one of these. Am I right?

Welcome back to another instalment of "Listen With Sam" where this time we will be going through the album that needs no introduction, so with that said, let me introduce Band on the Run!!

Of course this episode was delayed as not to interfere my appearance on the "Ridiculous Rock Record Reviews" podcast where I covered the same album You can find that here - https://ridiculousrockrecords.libsyn.com/episode-162-paul-mccartney-wings-band-on-the-run

Now that we have gotten this episode off our chest, you can expect Venus and Mars much sooner!

Peace & love. Hare Hare Krishna.

Show notes

Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to a very special episode of Paul or Nothing!
Today I am kindly joined by Andrew Dixon, from the Andrew Dixon YouTube channel. If you know who I am, then you almost certainly know Andrew, and if you don't, where have you been!?
Now, despite it's runtime only being around an hour, we spend this entire episode (more or less) discussing the 1990 made-for-TV documentary, "Put It There" that documents both Flowers in the Dirt and CHOBA B CCCP.
We go deep on this one folks. Brace yourselves...

Peace & love. Hare Hare Krishna.
