'I Don't Know'/'Come On To Me' Double A-side Release, with Tom Kwei: Paul or Nothing Episode #12. Jun 22, 2018

Show notes

Yes, hello everyone, it has indeed been a while since the last episode. Many apologies all around, yadda yadda yadda, there are quite a few episodes on the block and in the edit, nearly ready to go, and in the mean time, to compensate you all, I have come out of my slumber to team up with friend of the show Tom Kwei and review some brand new Paul McCartney content.

Yes, you read that correctly. This is no mere re-release or remaster. This is a genuine, bonafide, brand new Paul McCartney double A-side single release. The two songs are called 'I Don't Know' and 'Come on to Me', and what you are about to listen to is the rawest of reactions for the first ever brand new content we have ever had on this show. Let's just hope no one gets too emotional or anything.

Please check out and follow all three of Tom's podcasts, they are all annoyingly good....

The Videography of Paul McCartney #1, (1971-73). May 11, 2018

Show notes

Oh my God, I know right. Why would he go and start another bonus episode side series if he hasn't even gotten around to Tug of War yet? Well, the only reason I have is that this was more than likely intended to be the very first series of bonus episodes, and that this is more long overdue than you may remember...

Join us today on 'Paul or Nothing' where we start a journey into one of the most interesting, most illuminating and hilarious aspects of the Paul McCartney media machine...if only they knew, when they were aming this stuff, that some prick like me would come and view it as a whole. If only they knew.

Show notes

Hey everyone, welcome back to another bonus episode of Paul or Nothing, where this week we will be revisiting both one of the most popular and controversial posts on our sister blog. Yes, we do have one of those, and yes there actually was a bit of a fracas...
We're gonna be looking at Paul's penchant for silly rhyming schemes and duly mocking them.

Hot Hits and Cold Cuts Episode #2.5. (1969-71) May 08, 2018

Show notes

Greetings Paul bearers. It's time to go back and correct a few errors in this side series, as I have discovered some even more obscure, even more random recordings that slipped through my fingers. This time on Hot Hits and Cold Cuts we actually get to go back and discuss that other band Paul McCartney was with before Wings...whatever they were called!

Apologies for the lateness of this episode, but I have recently just got a new job and I have been focussing on the for a week, but I am back with a double bill of episodes for all you lovely people out there!
Peace and love. Enjoy!!!

"Glastonbury 2004", Paul or Nothing Gig Review #4. Apr 24, 2018

Show notes

Hello all, and welcome back to Paul or Nothing. We are back, once again, with another gig review for all you lovely folk. And, whilst the schedule may have called for an early Wings gig review, the arrival of a certain guest, prominent Twitter follower and Patreon patron, and the fact that he told me he went to Glasto in 04', meant that we quickly changed course.

I'm glad I did, Matt is an awesome guy, we had a great chat, and most importantly we had a fucking insanely phenomenal live performance for us to mutually devour.

This our first fan-cast, or guest appearance from a fan, and if you too would be interested in something similar (especially if you have been to a gig of your own), drop us an email at paulmccartneypod@gmail.com.

"Go West Young Macca", Paul or Nothing bonus episode #16. Apr 17, 2018

Show notes

It's finally here, you know what this is. You couldn't avoid it forever. It's the Kanye West episode!
One of modern music's most enigmatic, loved and loathed figures, a pop culture icon (whatever that means_, a fashion mogul, producer and director, Kanye West is undeniably one of the most off the wall choices for Paul to choose as a collaborator....and that's why it's so fucking brilliant.
Join us here today as we discuss Yeezy's discography, his relationship with Paul, 'Only One', 'FourFiveSeconds' and 'All Day' and finally my insane, Lovecraftian desperation to talk all things Kanye.

'The Magical Mystery Tour' - Paul or Nothing Film Review: Episode #4. Apr 05, 2018

Show notes

Hello folks, welcome back to our paralel film review series, whereby we will be climbing aboard the Magical Mystery Tour where we will find out answers to questions like "is it any good?", "is it rubbish?", "how rubbish is it?" and "is it a film at all?". Honestly folks after the last two films that were so iconic and popular, its nice to change things up with some overly self indulgent, questionabl executed wierdness. The Magical Mystery Tour was Paul's first cinematic baby and it acts as an intersting prelude of lessons not being learned in preparation for 'Give My Regards to Broadstreet'. This was a fun one people. Peace and love.

"The Top 12 McCartney Granny Songs", Paul or Nothing bonus episode #15. Mar 30, 2018

Show notes

Hey there everyone, this is very much an unscheduled "bonus" bonus episode that I managed to whip up for you whilst I had a free hour in Glasgow. This extra content is basically a little thank you for everyone of you who have been listening to this show, and an apology for how lax the shows output was in the early days.
On todays "bonus" bonus episode we will explore one of the most oft maligned and mocked elements of Pauls ouvre, his "granny songs". These overly sentimental piano ditties have attracted a lot criticism over the years, and I honestly have no idea why. For me these songs aren't even guilty pleasures, I just think they're generally amazing. Now I just have to convince you....
But yeah here are my "Top 12 Paul McCartney Granny Songs". Peace and love, peace and love.

"Fixing McCartney II" - Paul or Nothing Bonus Episode #14. Mar 28, 2018

Show notes

Hi, hi, hi, the night is young,

Yes, we have another bonus episode of Paul or Nothing where we continue my ego boosting, self aggrandization as I, once again, will attempt to do a bit better than the most successful recording artist of all time by telling him the way IIIIIIIII would have released his synthy-techno epic.

Basically, I will be taking all the material from the McCartney II sessions and hopefully I will be able to craft something that would have been received a little better by the critics back in 1980. At least that is the plan anyway.

Please enjoy. Peace and Love. Hare Hare Krishna.

“McCartney II with Tom Kwei Part”, Paul or Nothing Episode #11, Part 2/2. Mar 22, 2018

Show notes

Welcome back to this second instalment of 'Paul or Nothing',
Okay everyone, we are now onto the part that I have been most looking forward to...

I began podcasting with Tom Kwei back when we started the podcast that I never ever talk about, 'Down in the Hole', and we have both been addicted ever since. Without this man I would not be in podcasting and I would still be a social pariah. Paul Bearers the world over, please welcome my best friend, fellow podcaster, collaborator, inspiration and nemesis, Mr Tom Kwei.
In this part two we go to town with a song-by-song analysis of the songs of McCartney II as well as getting distracted every 37 seconds as we are want to do...
Please enjoy. Peace and love. Harre Harre Krishna.

Please check out and follow all three of Tom's podcasts, they are all annoyingly good....
