Yes folks, after part 1 where we covered the background, production and reception of McCarney's first post-Wings effort, we are....cough cough 'Here Today' to take an analytical, song-by-song, look at the album itself.
After further delays here you are folks. Please enjoy. Peace and love, peace and love.

Monday Feb 04, 2019
Monday Feb 04, 2019
Greetings fellow Paul bearers and welcome to the first of two instalments that explore the 1983 album by Paul McCartney, 'Tug of War'. This is a big album, and as you can see, it's going to be an equally large episode.
In this episode we cover...
- The assassination of John Lennon.
- The "break up" of Wings.
- The Denny Laine Incident.
- The recording of the album, including working with Stevie Wonder & Carl Perkins.
- The album artwork.
- The critical reception.
- ....and I will try not to give my opinions away too early.
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....

The Videography of Paul McCartney: Egypt Station special with Matt Phillips!
Thursday Jan 31, 2019
Thursday Jan 31, 2019
Hi, hi, hi folks and yet again it is time for even more chit chat about Paul and his music videos. Obviously, we are leaping ahead in time a bit compared to our last videography episode, but I simply could not wait to get to Egypt Station the fair way, so here we are. Believe me folks, todays collection is an...interesting bunch to say the least!
Today's videos will include....
- 'I Don't Know'/'Come On To Me' lyric videos.
- 'Come On To Me, #Elsa, #Ali, #Fred'
- 'Fuh You'
- 'Back in Brazil'
- 'Who Cares'
I will not be alone either. You may remember Matt Phillips from our Glastonbury gig review a few months ago, but even if you don't, take my word, he's a proper Macca-head and one of my favourite guests to have back on the show.

Hey, hey, hey and hi, hi, hi, welcome to another intermediary episode of Paul or Nothing, where today we get to discuss Paul's first post-Egypt Station content. The song is called "Get Enough" and it really is not a song that only one man discuss. Paul's latest release was the perfect excuse for me to get 2:Legs Podcast host, Tom Hunyady, back onto the show.

The Videography of Paul McCartney #2, (1973-78).
Thursday Jan 03, 2019
Thursday Jan 03, 2019
Greetings all, and I am oh so glad you could join us today on 'Paul or Nothing' where we are continuing our little digression into the world journey into one of the most surprisingly fruitful and fertile aspects of the Macca media machine...his music videos.
This is the second part of this side series where we will be analysing, and critiquing all of McCartney's official, and sometimes somewhat unofficial music videos. Check out the first part if you haven't already, but yeah, take a seat, grab a cuppa, and prepare for some pure seventies cheese.
Also, Happy New Year! Unless you are reading this alter on in which case I look rather silly...

Egypt Station Exclusive Tracks Review: Paul or Nothing Bonus Episode #20.
Saturday Dec 29, 2018
Saturday Dec 29, 2018
This is the episode that only exists because nowhere local to me had the Deluxe Edition of Egypt Station in stock. Oh well, at least the songs will be of the same high quality as the rest of Egypt Station right? .....right??? Errr, best to have a sit down with this one folks.
These are my thoughts on the bonus/exclusive/addition tracks for Egypt Station.
Big shoutout to user @SavoyTruffle99 who made this episode possible!
NOTE: This is not the official "full" Egypt Station episode and that will come in due time.
Peace & love. Hare Hare Krishna.

"Egypt Station" : First Thoughts - Paul Or Nothing Episode #13.
Sunday Dec 23, 2018
Sunday Dec 23, 2018
It was twenty years ago today...that this episode was due out.
Egypt Station is finally here folks!!! I can't believe it either, and who knew the world of Paul McCartney, in 2018, was suddenly going to be this exciting. Here are my initial thoughts on Paul's 17th studio albums. Sit back, relax, and watch me try to do this mostly unscripted.
NOTE: This is not the official "full" Egypt Station episode and that will come in due time.

"If you got a job to do, you got to do it well..." - A Paul or Nothing Update.
Saturday Dec 08, 2018
Saturday Dec 08, 2018
Hi everyone,
Yes, hello, it has been a long time indeed folks, and unless you are listening to this from the far flung future, let me start off by apologising profusely for my tardiness, and lack of content over the last three months. We don't normally do episodes like this very often, and for good reason.
But hey, I'm back and ready to inform you of everything that has and will be going on with by myself and the show.
If you are listening to this episode then thank you for your patience, and keep your eyes peeled for brand new Paul or Nothing content over the coming weeks.
SPOILER ALERT: Paul or Nothing is not dead....
SECOND SPOILER ALERT: If you are seeing Paul McCartney at the 02, or just happen to be in London on December 16th hit me up with the details down below and we can make some cool shit happen!

Paul is Dead Special - Part 3/3 :Paul or Nothing podcast
Friday Sep 07, 2018
Friday Sep 07, 2018
Oh, thank heavens. The pretence can all come to an end...
Welcome to the third and final part of our cataloging of one of the oddest facets of McCartney's story. It has been a long time coming, as we went through all the "clues" in parts one and two, but now it is time to get off of the fence and cleanse my soul before I buy Egypt Station. Join us today folks as we analyse, break down, and ultimately dismantle the flat earth of Beatledom.
Spoiler alert....Paul is NOT Dead.
