Friday Dec 06, 2019
Friday Dec 06, 2019
Hey everyone, I know this semi-animated concert film has been out for a while now, but alas, I could not afford the massive Wings 1971-71 box set. However, thanks to our Patreon supporters I could afford to rent it off iTunes which is the next best thing. Hope you all enjoy folks. The Wings are here!
Peace and love..

"Home Tonight/In a Hurry" Hot Take: Paul or Nothing Bonus Episode - #33
Friday Nov 29, 2019
Friday Nov 29, 2019
Hello there everyone, and welcome to another bonus episode of Paul or Nothing. This time I have another hot take for you all on some brand new Paul McCartney content. It's a double A-side with songs taken (yet again) from the Egypt Station sessions (hopefully the last), and I can't wait to review it with you now.
The exact time this episode will drop is supposedly when my local record store will open. Fingers crossed I get my copy!

'Pipes of Peace' - Paul Or Nothing Episode #15, Part 1/2.
Friday Nov 15, 2019
Friday Nov 15, 2019
Greetings fellow Paul bearers and welcome to the first of two instalments that explore the 1983 album by Paul McCartney, 'Pipes of Peace'. This is, apparently, the twin album to Tug of War and the culmination of Paul's prolific post-Wings period.
In this episode we cover...
- Working with Michael Jackson.
- The gerat Beatle Songwriting Swindle, aka. The Beatles VS Michael Jackson.
- The recording of the album.
- Whether this truly is the "TWIN" album to Tug of War.
- The album artwork.
- The critical reception.
- ....and I will not be covering Give My Regards to Broadstreet, even though it did technically happen during this period. Don't worry, we'll get to it.
This one, as many as you know, has taken a loooong time to come out, but I hope the wait was worth it! Please enjoy....

Hello everyone, welcome back to another episode of Paul or Nothing (with the help of a USB plugin keyboard) and I am excited to bring you my review, recounting and recanting of Mark Lewisohn's "Hornsey Road"! This live talk/lecture/performance, whatever you want to call it is a sneak peak at Lewisohns "Tune In" series, as he does a live deep dive on The Beatles final album, Abbey Road.
My special guest, long time friend of the show Matt Phillips, and I, were both lucky enough to catch the show on October 28th at the Alexandra Theatre in Birmingham, UK. This is our review, and we hope you enjoy the show. Well, our show and Lewisohn's!!!

A Conversation with Ken Michaels: Paul or Nothing Bonus Episode #25
Wednesday Sep 25, 2019
Wednesday Sep 25, 2019
Hey everyone!
As I will soon hear in greater detail, this recording was intended to be Part 2 of our exploration of Pipes of Peace where me and ken were to go through the album song by song.
...that most certainly did not happen.
Instead, enjoy my wonderfully casual conversation with Ken Michaels, aka the guy who was podcasting about the Beatles before podcasting about the Beatles, and indeed podcast themselves, were even a thing. He has a titan in Beatle media culture thanks to his tireless efforts in producing the most incredibly constant and high quality content ever made!
Check out Ken's radio show, "Every Little Thing", as well as all manner of exclusive interviews with the likes of Mark Lewisohn, Robert Rodriguez, and basically every other guest too big to come on this podcast! Find all that and more at https://kenmichaelsradio.com/about-ken.html.
Check out his Beatle podcast, "The Things We Said Today", on all podcasting apps, and at...
https://beatlesexaminer.podbean.com/
And finally, please show some love for "Talk More Talk"...

Thanks Ken!

Listen with Sam: McCartney (1970)
Sunday Sep 22, 2019
Sunday Sep 22, 2019
Hey everyone, as predicted our Pipes of Peace (1983) episode is taking a little longer than expected, so I thought I may try out a fun little format that I have been thinking about experimenting with for a while now.
Get your own copies of McCartney (1970) at the ready as you and me are going to listen to it together. Well, I say listen, I'm gonna be talking a whole lot too...

"Yesterday" (2019) - Paul or Nothing Film Review: Episode #5.
Monday Jul 08, 2019
Monday Jul 08, 2019
Hey everyone! We're back for another film review, only this time it's for a film that is actually being watched by contemporary audiences! I know, right!?
Today we are here to talk about Danny Boyle's "Yesterday", written by Richard Curtis, and staring Himesh Patel, and Lily James. The film that asks the question, "What would you do if you were the only person on earth who knew about the Beatles. Whether the film answers those questions is another matter entirely....but yeah. Enjoy!
To shake things up I recorded this episode in two parts, one recorded before, and the other after I had seen the film. Let's see just how my expectations and guesswork lines up with the final product.
Peace and love.
