    One, Two, Three, Four.    Can I have a little more?     Yes, you can.      Jon Stone, Lonnie Pena and Martin "Marv" Quibell are all here for the start of WTWF, Mk. IV (or is it V?).     We chat about a number of things in Beatle-land, and settle on some lightly edited "as nature intended" chat!

  • 2023.24 Pianos and Moog and Mellotrons (oh my!)

    11/06/2023 Duración: 01h01min

    People don't necessarily think of the role of keyboard instruments in the Beatles beyond Billy Preston and a few other obvious examples.   This week, we dive a little deeper, starting with Roy Young, through the harmonium, the mellotron, the moog onto the synthesizer revolution and "Band on the Run."

  • 2023.23 Rubber Soul the Movie (a Review)

    05/06/2023 Duración: 01h14min

    Filmmaker Jon Lefkovitz has just released his 2014 SXSW film "Rubber Soul" on YouTube.    Jon and I review.    Quoting his description: "In December 1970, John Lennon and Yoko Ono were interviewed for "Rolling Stone" prior to the release of their "Plastic Ono Band" albums. Ten years later, in September 1980, the couple granted their first in-depth interview in five years to "Playboy" while they were in the process of recording "Double Fantasy". RUBBER SOUL reconstructs portions of these two historical interviews based on available transcripts and audio, juxtaposing them in order to explore the dynamic nature of identity over time."

  • 2023.22 John Lennon 1970 and 1980

    29/05/2023 Duración: 01h05s

    John Lennon did two major interviews acting as bookends to the 1970's.    This week, we look at Rolling Stone, Playboy and their relationship to John Lennon, Yoko Ono (and to a lesser extent Paul McCartney).    Did Jann Wenner have any ulterior motives?    Did David Sheff?    Do any of us?

  • 2023.21 Beatles Compilations through the years.

    22/05/2023 Duración: 01h14s

    Capitol spent much of the seventies repackaging the Beatles under a variety of concepts and song orders.    As we pass the fiftieth anniverary of the first (and possibly the best), 1962-1966 and 1967-1970; we take the time to look at those collections, and propose our own!

  • 2023.20 When The Beatles Drove Us Wild (Review - Australian ABC TV)

    15/05/2023 Duración: 01h10min

    1964 was the year the Beatles took over the world.    However, the foundations for that were laid in 1963.    The Beatles visited Sweden and planned trips to France, Australia, New Zealand and the United States before anyone knew for certain there was gold to be found.    This week we tune in to a documentary covering their June 1964 visit to New Zealand, from its origins in the summer of 1963 to the run of shows and their eventual return to the UK.

  • 2023.19 The Beatles at the Beeb (Lord Reith, Disc 6)

  • 2023.18 AI, ChatGPT and the Future (with a feature including Kit O’Toole and Martin Quibell)

    01/05/2023 Duración: 01h04min

    AI.   Nothing to get hung about, the beginning of something else, or just another piece in the puzzle of change and progress that the Beatles were always striving for, and usually succeeded in driving to the mainstream.    This week, the real Jon Stone and I (AI versions are under development) discuss the possibilities, think on ChatGPT, and are virtually joined by the Queen of All Beatles Media, Martin Quibell, and another, different version of me (alas, done the old-fashioned way, no AI or multiverse here)

  • 2023.17 The Lost Weekend - A Love Story (Review)

    23/04/2023 Duración: 01h17min

    May Pang's film finally hit theaters (for a day in most places) on April 13, 2023.     Lonnie Pena and I were among those who attended the screening, and we review the project in this week's WTWF.     Is this another retelling of a story available for over forty years, or is there something new and insightful among the clips and classic interviews?

  • 2023.16 Produced By George Martin (Arena Special - a review)

    17/04/2023 Duración: 01h09min

    This week we look at the "not-quite-a-Biography" about George Martin produced by the Arena folks in 2011.     A young Giles, the previous iteration of Beatles history, and some interesting tales concerning the comics, musicians and others George Martin encountered during his youth, military career and adult life within Parlophone and AIR Studios.     Lots of Judy Martin as well!

  • 2023.15 The Beatles US Singles

    10/04/2023 Duración: 01h04min

    This show starts out with discussion on the "Stowe" tape, and what such an exciting discovery means to the world of Beatles fandom and scholarship.      This is followed by our main topic - the US Singles.   VJ, Swan, Tollie, MGM, Capitol and ATCO (oh my).      What did the abundance of 45's mean to the average fan, and what has "collectibility" meant to the world of Beatles singles.

  • 2023.14 Paul McCartney Unplugged (The TV Experience reviewed)

    02/04/2023 Duración: 01h08min

    What's the best way to break in a new drummer?     Take him with you on a high-profile television appearance.      Paul McCartney was coming off his World Tour, lost a drummer (was Paul a model for Spinal Tap?) and agreed to appear on MTV's new-ish television show (interesting performances, moderate audience) called "Unplugged".     This week we go back a little over thirty years to talk about the performances, the songs and see how well the TV special holds up for modern audiences.

  • 2023.13 Viewer Mail

    27/03/2023 Duración: 01h38s

    Letters, we've got letters! We've got stacks and stacks of letters!      Viewer mail, where Jon and I answer questions from our listeners.     Who needs facts when you've got opinions for miles?

  • 2023.12 George Fest, review, pt.2

    19/03/2023 Duración: 01h04min

    Our review of the second set from "George Fest" in Los Angeles, September, 2014.    Weird Al, the Flaming Lips, Perry Farrell and more keep the tributes rolling celebrating the "The Quiet One."     Dhani then leads the ensemble through a final two numbers as we fade into the sunset with Dhani "and friends."    

  • 2023.11 George Fest review, pt.1

    13/03/2023 Duración: 01h06min

    On 28 September, 2014 Dhani Harrison hosted a charity concert celebrating the life of George.   Conan O'Brien, members of Spoon, the Cult and Killers took the stage to play favorites written by George (and a select few others) backed by a top-notch group of session musicians.    This week, the first set of that show with thoughts on the news of the week.

  • 2023.10 Two Buddies on Holly Days (overview, ”Holly Days” and ”John Lennon at the St.Regis: Clock”)

    06/03/2023 Duración: 01h12min

    One of the first things John Lennon did when landing in New York City was an "art film" named "Clock" that was promptly locked away.    While the film remains in limbo, the soundtrack found its way to the public, first through the "Lost Lennon Tapes", and later (in a more complete form) from the "Dutch Import" market.    Four years later (after buying the Holly catalog), Wings (in the form of Paul, Linda and Denny) would go into Rude Studios in Scotland and attempt something conceptually similar, if with a little studio finesse.     While the album remains in limbo, we are hopeful a release is possible.    Tune in to hear Lonnie Pena and I talk about both projects and the benefits and detractions of going "homespun".

  • 2023.09 The Rutles Archaeology (Review)

    27/02/2023 Duración: 01h03min

    The WTWF guys are firmly in that "easy listenin' mode" this week with our review of "The Rutles Archaeology".    How well did Neil Innes manage (artistically) with a second dip into the world of the pre-fab four, and does anyone know where Sony Studios is located?     Tune-in and find out.
