Blotto Beatles

We take the big leap into Episode 74 with a listen to some communal chants before we record an intro in arrears, remind listeners of ClarisWorks, introduce the incomparable Chris Ballew of the Presidents of the United States of America and Casper Babypants, revel in Chris' amazing rock and roll journey, make mistakes about the life of Jimmy Nicols, play songs that make little kids do a creepy dance, question why sitar masters don't just get a Snark tuner, learn about the health benefits of local bone broths from local chickens, learn the truth about Chris’ favorite canned fruit, and discover the beauty of the George Harrison penned/hummed "Within You Without You."

We ask you to bear with us as we begin this episode with our bylaw approved quarterly staff meeting.  From there we remind everyone that we were early on the Mal train, dig into our single album White Album tracks and titles, differentiate between Pee Wee Herman and the Marx Brothers, question the Outbreak Monkey of Beatles for Sale, question an instrumental verse several times, explicate bays of hale, marvel at RB's Bowie connection to this song, invent snants (TM), and discuss the rose colored glasses of "Words of Love."

How do we start our septuagennial episode?  With a BLOTTO BEATLES EXCLUSIVE!

We then jump into the episode proper with Tommy's new catch phrase, some listener homework, Scotty C never skipping hands day, Irish Budweisers, another amazing example of RB breaking down rock and roll patterns, Tommy saying the word "standard" about 400 times, Becker telling us the favorite songs of each William, Tommy singing every song with the lyric "I Will," and the rhumba-inspired White Album standard, I Will.

Did you all know there's a NEW Beatles song?
Did you know it's the LAST Beatles song?
Did you know it was originally recorded to a CASSETTE tape?

You did?

Well, we wanted to talk about it, and we wanted to do it with some of our best pod pals. Listen in as we are joined by Allison from BC the Beatles and Jonathan from Ranking the Beatles as we dig into "Now & Then," it's humble beginnings and futuristic endings, the music video, the remixed "Love Me Do," that artwork, and which member of the 1992 Dream Team Tommy most resembles.  It's a fun one!

Team Blotto dives into episode 70 by discussing one of the biggest Beatles conspiracy theories, a ranking of all the Toms, a hang with Ranking the Beatles, our new bud and guest Chris Webre, being the fat member of Voltron, alligators, a specific television show that was popular in the 90s, and the rebel-focused Bad Boy.

It says it right on the tin, people.  Pushkin Media reached out to us and asked if we would be interested in hearing a preview episode of the brand new "McCartney: A Life in Lyrics" podcast, which was just released today, October 4, 2023.  What you will hear within this episode are the Blotto reactions to the first episode, which focuses on "Eleanor Rigby," followed by the McCartney episode, in full.

Listen here, and then make sure to subscribe to this newcomer to Beatles Podcasting - we really think he's got something.

Without further ado, Blotto Beatles Present: "McCartney: A Life in Lyrics."  We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Episode 68 begins with some AI shenanigans before we jump right into discussion with our guest, and the host of the incomparable "Paul or Nothing" podcast, Mr. Sam Whiles;  whether it would be more appropriate to tickle Paul McCartney or blow him a kiss; Hot Take Tommy; Sam feeling as if we gave him a throwaway track; Macca's new podcast; theories on the new Beatles track; carrying on the traditions of our parents; and the fantasy of "There's a Place."

We pop the cork on our 67th episode with our earliest Magical Mystery Word, the famous moment when George Harrison brought some friends to the home of his dentist, the reintroduction of Brother Pat, Pat's recap of Wrestlemania, a fan call, a piecing together of our memories from the Blost Weekend, the first installment of our new segment Rocky Rankcoon, if it's harder to be funny or Ernest, the original title of the Dropkick Murphy's "Shipping Out to Boston," and the Clapton-inspired "Savoy Truffle."

We conclude our second annual Blost Weekend by discussing Ringo's short lived soccer career, the most popular Blotto by way of the call-in line, a handsome Tommy minotaur, Colin as a consummate mixologist, Colin's first Malort experience, AI cocktails, the Beatles PJ pant-wearing era, lots more DMB than any of us expected, and the fight inspired Rubber Soul track, "I'm Looking Through You."

We also talk about a specific YouTube video a lot - please check out "Why Is This Beatles Song So Messy?" to hear some of the specific points we get into.

Welcome back to the second annual Blost Weekend, where we crack open the McCartney '71 tapes once again before revealing that this episode is the backside of a double header, recognizing Becker's athletic skill, questioning which Ted Lasso characters we are, complimenting our cocktails recommended by Chris Bach of Bachtails (WooHoo), counting the number of names Becker has for a harmonica, and talking about that blues harp tinged "I Should Have Known Better."

We hit a major milestone of lining up episode numbers and song titles by digging into the vaults of the British Library for a rare recording of James McCartney; great notes from new listeners; an A-Paul-ogy; RB's Blue Drink; The Beatles grunge era; a lot of Foo Fighters talk for a section on Nirvana; inviting Dave Grohl to the pod; potentially insulting Dave Grohl, even though we think he's a cool dude; reminding Grohl that we'd love to have him on the pod; Becker's distaste for James Corden; if we know what skiffle is; the big reveal of Tommy's occupation; how Woody Allen ruined the clarinet; RB's new catch phrase, "Send snacks, send pants, send pants full of snacks;" and the song of commitment, "When I'm Sixty-Four."

Welcome to the second annual Blost Weekend where we bug out to the Blotto Bungalow, Bill?  We kick into this effort of recording three episodes over two days by going full Lindsay-Hogg, discussing our new number one song, yadda yadda yaddaing the RB Stans, considering the Beatles Nigel Godrich produced record, questioning Thom Yorke's pants game, talking to Jared Sena of Sena Farms Brewery about the Beatles and his efforts making delicious beer in the hill towns of Western Mass, impersonating Silverchair, questioning the difference between a violin and a fiddle, and digging into the 38-second traditional song Maggie Mae.

We start off this episode by sharing a spin-off Blotto production "Freehold Companion", before realizing that The Blottos owe Tommy a very real aPAULogy. From there we get right down to it with this week's guest Bob Pernice (but not until Becker stops talking about himself) and the very big track he brought along with him. Not only is this the finest Beatles song on marine mammalogy, but it really shakes up some fundamentals of our ongoing list.

Bob is not only a great guest and a passionate Beatles fan, but he plays music with his brother. Give a listen to the great Pernice Brothers album "Overcome by Happiness", which is getting a deluxe 25th-anniversary reissue next month. Also, if you're lucky enough to live in New York or Boston, you'll get a chance to see the album performed in its entirety, do it!

For the first time, RB starts us off before Tommy recounts a harrowing tale of a recent unmitigated disaster.  From there we get right into the important work of discussing bomb pops, boringness (but not in regards to RB), the Ocean State Job Lot, people surprised that Scotty C is the Dancing Blotto, the Beatles gothic phase, if goths can eat ice cream cones, the Ticketmaster debacle and who has the power to change it, a surprise call from Fans on the Run's Ethan Alexanian, a Tommy vs. Ethan head-to-head battle, the Concentration 64 game, octogenarians with jet black hair, Masons, and the clap-infused "Hold Me Tight."

Oh, we also had several visits from the Ghost of Dr. John.

Please listen in for a show first, as The Blottos take on this week's introduction in arrears, we're sure you can't even tell...Tommy gets caught cheating on his intro and Becker needs a couple of takes to get into it. From there, special guest Jason Narducy joins in and he brought a big big track to talk on. Jason is part of a lot of things we love - his band Split Single and a member of Superchunk & the Bob Mould band.  Good chat with a great guest (on the best Beatles track?), dig it.

If you are unfamiliar with Jason's work, please check out his music as Split Single and follow along on IG & Twitter.  Check if he's rolling through your town in late March / April.

Thank goodness we are able to start this episode with a fact from world renowned New Zealand musicologist, Pete G., before we dive into discussions of Becker's poolside swimwear, our guest spots on other podcasts (including Fans on the
Run and the upcoming season of Serial based on Tommy), Becker's Steely Dan struggle, pies from Chris W, the Beatles famous Seattle Invasion era work, and the George Harrison-penned "I Want to Tell You."

We get Beatles-archaeology from the top by uncovering the genius of the McCartney '71 tapes.  From there we investigate AI culture as we let our robot overlords write out introductions.  Finally getting into a normal episode, we discuss how much fun Mikey Erg is, our recent appearance on the Fans on the Run podcast with our friend Ethan Alexanian, Becker's New Year's resolution to be a SteelyButt (the common term for a Steely Dan fan), Scotty's traffic copter work, and the only way to start Rubber Soul - Drive My Car.

We begin by reviewing Tommy's Beatles fortune cookies before we read some fan mail; offer an a-PAUL-ogy, Becker's Papa's feelings on our weak ability to crack nuts and Tommy in general; Tommy's feelings on Papa's inability to restart a modem; our amazing guest and punk rock stalwart, Mikey Erg; recording records with Steve Albini; mastering records at Abbey Road; missed connections with Robert Plant and Giles Martin; pubs in the basement of Abbey Road; bullying Donovan; homework from Jeff Tweedy; RB blowing our minds, as usual; Tommy bringing up Shakespeare...again; and the royally-themed White Album gem, "Cry Baby Cry."

Make sure to check out Mikey's new record, Love at Leeds! Need one song as a starting place?  Mikey suggests "Almost Like Judee Still."

UPDATE: We had a sync error partway through the episode and uploaded a new version. If you are a subscriber, you may need to download again to get this newer version.

Episode 53 finds those Blotto boys together again and up to the same old shenanigans. While we've conquered the world of inebriated Beatles broadcasting, we are excited to announce our next endeavor - Blotto Beatles: The Podcast - A Musical. Enjoy the teaser of what's to come (if I know Tommy and a bit, there's more to come...).

After that, the fellas get into a Prince-ly discussion about the Fabulous Four, before diving into the seemingly dashed-off and rhyme-y John jam "It's Only Love". Maybe no one is amazed by this tune, but you know we'll find something to talk about. Meanwhile, the question persists, Is it a rhyme if you are matching up to the same word?

Thanks for listening.

Episode 52 begins with a discussion of how we would NEVER consider using a producer other than Scotty C, a discussion of new snacks sent by listeners, hibachi experiences, pros and cons of podcast banter, the introduction of our guests Phoebe and Daphne from the amazing Another Kind of Mind, growing up on the Beatles with and without the internet, Tommy's alter ego Tom Cruise, John's hamster tube house, Paul with his trousers rolled up, and the earthy "Mother Nature's Son."

We approach our half century mark with an early mystery word, some Game of Thrones/Beatles talk, Becker's best Robin Williams, a little more shilling to Powers Irish Whiskey, that Beatles documentary where John wore a huge suit the whole time, our commitment to no longer saying "the pyick," infantilizing your partner, the return of our segment "Becker Offers Dating Advice," old dudes figuring out what BAE means, and our pumped take on "Little Child."

We come in strong after a little bit of a summer respite with some timely Top Gun rumors, Scotty's specter, RB's Vermonting score, taking boats to see Deer Tick, the Blottos getting down at an actual dance club, Becker's thesis that we all have the epic experiences of our favorite writers, Scotty's homemade wine, that time Ringo hung those two balls from his pants during a photo shoot, your partner asking you to keep their love a secret as a giant red flag, and the Disney-inspired "Do You Want to Know a Secret?"

Episode 47 begins year three of Team Blotto's project, so we start with the release of two new t-shirts that management told us would sell like hotcakes.  From there, we get into it with our amazing guest Caleb Nichols who discussed his new album/rock operetta, Ramon, describe as " the experience of a micro-mushroom-dosed pizza for your gay date night with the magnesium/iron combo of queer comedy and tragedy"; the idea of queering the Beatles; a wine buyer's opinion on box wine; pretending wine is kombucha while working heavy machinery; what makes a rock opera;  the artistic merit of fan fiction; creating a mythology for groups who were never allowed to have on;  Brian Epstein as a hero; Caleb making us realize that Paul's pseudonym, "Ramon," is just a play on his song title, "Ram On," and the lovable rocker, "Boys."

Oh, and we also saw Paul McCartney and chat about that.

We kick into episode 46 by breaking podcast ground (again) before introducing Chris (again); talking about our pump up music;  asking if "Hey Ya" is the best song every written; realizing we are pretty old;  wondering if Chris should be the official Stat-Man, Scat-Man, or Scat-Man (the other kind of scat); drinking Maccaritas; landing on our favorite preparation for corn; wondering about the Ranking the Beatles rankings (again); praising the Tommy Stans; filming the other Beatles doc about them at their worst; wearing a sport coats during 80s rock production; doing the Bartman; challenging Metallica to doubles tennis; listening to an episode of “And Your Nerd Can Sing” that blows everyone’s minds; and talking the pop hit "Eight Days a Week."

Episode 43, take a ride with your Blotto heroes as we gather together for a field trip and kickoff the first annual Blost Weekend -recorded deep in the woods from a moderately disclosed location in Western Massachusetts. 

We bring you all of the hijinks you've come to love (or loathe), now with more Blotto-to-Blotto eye contact. We talk..was Tommy right? Would The Eagles be better if they were called 2 Dons? How many people on one mic is too much? Becker gets confused about TO, TWO & TOO and most importantly we chat on the great Let It Be tune "Two Of Us".

Yeah, we should be talking Beatles in these episode notes, but we got SAM CALAGIONE of the mighty Dogfish Head Brewery this week! We go long talking about his beers, what got him to brew, the items he has in the Smithsonian, confusing the Beatles with The Replacements in front of Joan Jett, failed authors, and the bands that ended up naked in his house.  It's a long one, but it's worth it, and we ain't Geoff Eme-Rick Rolling you on that one.

Oh yeah, we also chat about that swampy  Abbey Road tune, "Come Together."

Clearly, we are all about The Beatles, but episode 37 begins with one of our other passions -- true crime podcasts -- as we listen to the trailer for "The Sacred Harp."  From there we bring back Musical Supervisor RB and  get into our normal Beatles fare as we discuss pies and nuts, the fantastic Deer Tick, some more Get Back doc-talk, the Bad Beatles of Boston, one more piece of evidence to show that Paul McCartney loves Razor Ramon, more nut talk, Becker ditching the rest of us for Elon Musk, some regional Rhode Island work,  and the very easy tune "All I've Got to Do."

We crack open year two with a reflection of the iconic artistic movement der Voorman Versteckte, a very early Magical Mystery Word, some discussion of our early days listening to indie rock, the introduction of our guest Travis Shettel from the rock band Piebald, who Piebald is and what the band has been up to in recent years, some more Magical Mystery Words, Golden Girls and Springsteen t-shirts, the beauty of a good diss track, asking Kurt Ballou from Converge to play your guitar solos when you can't, the Beatles role in the Chapel Hill punk scene of the 1990s, pogoing for three hours every night, impeccable dress shirts, a song that comes out Birdsy at first, some more Magical Mystery Words, Frank Sinatra's bird, Cynthia Lennon's bird, Mick Jagger's bird, an uncovering of meaning in the lyrics we've heard a million times, artists falling out of touch, saying the title of a Beatles song right after you do a shot, and the guitarmony-laden Revolver song "And Your Bird Can Sing."

As you will hear in this episode, Travis lamented that there wasn't a list of what he considered to be the greatest Piebald songs.  After the episode, we asked him to correct that error. If you aren't familiar with Piebald, we recommend that you listen to Blotto Beatles Presents: Travis Shettel's Guide to Piebald.

Having just celebrated one year of Blotto, we wanted to stop for a moment a review and reflection.  As you know, we are compiling the canonical, argument-ending list of Beatles songs from best to worst as we have a few drinks.  Over the year there has been a little bit of internal discussion among Team Blotto as we asked ourselves, "Is the list as perfect as we think it is?"

The is the topic of conversation and we take on a little bit of a gameshow and a little bit of a debate to figure it out.  Will everything stand at its current ranking?  There's only one way to find out.

Our pod is 21 episodes old; we celebrate it's ability to drink legally in the US by discussing Ringo's influence on early American emo, Scotty's work on making podcasters essential, the Beatles DIY ethic, the similarities between the Beatles and DC postpunk stalwarts FUGAZI, the potential of doing a reverse alphabetical Beatles podcast, the potential of doing a podcast where we play Fugazi songs backwards, Ian's single malt scotch takes, Sir Walter Raleigh's level of gitness, the lost colony of Roanoke and its overall spookiness, Beatles pillow fights, a dip into the Fugazi "I'm So Tired" demo from the Instrument soundtrack, how weird it is that it is Fugazi's second most popular song, our first voicemail from a very prestigious guest caller, and the bed-based Beatles song, "I'm So Tired."

In episode 20 we begin with overwhelming gratitude to the Blotto Family and Blotto Scruffs  for all you did to make our live virtual trivia fundraiser for ALS One such a success.  At the time of this airing, we sit at just below $5,000 raised, which is a sum of money we never dreamed possible.  If you would like to contribute, we will be accepting donations through our website and shop through the end of March, 2021. 

From there we get into our usual nonsense by discussing the greatness and dynasty at the heart of Team Blotto, Becker's potential for a signature shoe, Tommy's favorite Star Trek episode, an invitation to Sam from Dogfish Head followed by an immediate insult, the Beatles other hair period, what Tommy's mom thought of GnR, the amazing cover to Beatles for Sale, Scott's role in the Newsies musical,  and the trebly tune, "What You're Doing."

This one also includes what is maybe our best karaoke to date.  You're welcome.

So here's the thing, y'all; we normally get right into our episode description, but -- if you listen to this one -- you will hear that we have a good friend fighting a mother effer of a disease in ALS.  To say it's been an eyeopening experience for us is an understatement.  To that end, Blotto Beatles is hosting an event in support of the incredible nonprofit organization, ALS One - a live virtual trivia night on Friday, 2/26/21.  For more info on how to play and donate, please visit https://www.blottobeatles.com/trivia.  We would love to have you be part of something that is so important to us.

In Episode 19 we go deep into the Venn diagram that is the Beatles and WCW wrestling; a welcome to our guest and good bud, Tucker;  a return of our good bud and new associate producer, Chris; the review of Chris' episode that just said "...at some point I was just listening to see if he would say guitar again;" Tucker's mom's hot takes on the Stones vs. the Beatles; some information on ALS and ALS One; yup, medicinal; Scotty's discomfort  camping with
Tommy and Becker; Becker's discomfort with Tommy's new catchphrase "poo poos;" Tucker arguing that everyone poo poos; how the Beatles are for the children; and a discussion on the Rubber Soul song "In My Life" that hits moments of reflection, humor, sadness, honesty, and nostalgia.  As Becker says in the episode, "This [one] is real."

It's a Blotto Beatles Chaser Extrasode!  After some exciting news from Blotto HQ, we were joined in the virtual Abbey Road by author John F. Lyons who regaled us with tales of English beer, deep dish pizza, and his newly released book JOY AND FEAR: THE BEATLES, CHICAGO, AND THE 1960s.

Check us out this Saturday, February 13th, on The Alphabetical Fugazi podcast.  We were chuffed to join Ian in discussing the Fugazi song, "I'm So Tired."

We kick off episode 18 by discussing Paul McCartney's first time trying LSD; the Beatles as the original boy band; the introduction of our guest and dear friend, Samantha; Sam's DIY homemade pretzel necklaces; Becker's decidedly anti-Snyder's pretzel stance; how the Beatles created something for everyone with the song "Something;" which Beatle would kiss Tommy; Becker's decidedly anti-French horn stance; authentic friends talking about authentic Paul in authentic relationships; when Sam called us punk; Paul saying, "Let me sing a song about a raccoon;"  super cool awesome cable knit sweater Paul McCartney; Ringo as Ikea; George as Bernie and Phil's; some more French horn talk; maybe our longest ranking discussion ever; and the relationship-based tune, "For No One."

It's episode 17 and it's our first attempt at a day drinking show.  For this endeavor we welcome guest Sam Whiles from the Paul or Nothing podcast to discuss what happens when Macca is denied a room upgrade, Linda McCartney's sausages, how EP Scotty C plays with turkey, how British podcasts break up, WHO the Beatles are, our fathers' old records vs. Sam's father's old iPod, even more Star Wars talk, even more anti-Martin sentiment from Becker, how hard the piano is, mishearing the lyric "silly girl," asking "What's a city girl?" and the sheepdog inspired White Album song, "Martha My Dear."

Episode 16 is here and we kick things off by discussing Disney's newest IP purchase, Becker's disappointment with being nerdy about more than one thing, the first installment of "You Never Give Us Beer Money," a generous donation from listener Simon K, our first Black Velvets, why the Beatles were once called "the only band that matters,"  why Pilgrims were so small, if they made Ringo crouch down during the shoot for "With the Beatles,"  grumpy George Harrison, just a smattering of Michael J. Fox talk, a comparison between the bass innovation of McCartney and Mike Watt, Les is More Claypool, and the original George Harrison original "Don't Bother Me."

It's a holiday week, so we wanted to give the gift of an early release featuring our pod pals from Ranking the Beatles.  In episode 15 we discuss the new super-duper group, the first time anyone has ever rewritten the lyrics of an existing song to be about the Beatles, the second time anyone has ever rewritten the lyrics of an existing song to be about the Beatles, real talk on what it means to start your own pandemic podcast based on the Beatles, how the word "cold" means very different things in Massachusetts and Louisiana, Becker really stretching out in his musical tastes as he introduces the Beatles, the third Gallagher brother - Gallagher Gallagher, an insufferable number of Oasis songs, the idea of hanging out in person, how fast Paul can sing, and the Beatles folk-twinged number "I've Just Seen a Face."

Lucky number thirteen beings us to Mal Evans' sound effect work, our return ton the virtual Abbey Road, a recap -- mostly for ourselves -- of the last episode, a reminder that Beatles scholars spend their time with us, the Truth or Dare of Beatles history, a visit from the postman, the fashion advice that George Harrison gave to Angus Young, our first time diving into the PLEASE PLEASE ME LP, a very late edition of Mind Games, and the sophisticated cover "A Taste of Honey."

It's time for another Blotto Beatles chaser!  We recently recorded an episode with author Chris McKittrick that won't be released for a few weeks, but Tuesday marked the release of Chris's new book SOMEWHERE YOU FEEL FREE, which centers on Tom Petty's connection to Los Angeles.  We didn't want to let this auspicious occasion go by without giving you a taste of that conversation.  Enjoy this segment as we discuss Chris's book, Petty, and the starship Enterprise.

It's time to get scholarly at Blotto HQ.  Put on your robe, light your pipe, pour a snifter of brandy, and retire to your study as we welcome Kenneth Womack (The Wo!) for this extrasode.  Ken is the author of the newly released JOHN LENNON 1980: THE LAST DAYS IN THE LIFE, and SOLID STATE: THE STORY OF ABBEY ROAD AND THE END OF THE BEATLES, among others.  He joined Team Blotto to discuss the burning questions only a Beatles scholar can answer, what he's been up to in the pandemic, the enormous loss we all still from from the passing of John Lennon, and the Yoko song, "Walking on Thin Ice," which features John Lennon's last guitar work.

Oh, and he said we could drunk text him in the future.

There's so much going on at Blotto HQ that we had to release an extrasode just to cover it all!

First, we have one week left on our Sgt. Pepper's sweepstakes, which you can find here.  Enter to win a Sgt. Pepper's picture disc, the opportunity to name the "Magical Mystery Word" for an upcoming episode, or a Blotto Beatles prize pack.

Second, we have merch!  Buy some here!

Third, we were recent guests on the Ranking the Beatles podcast.  Our new pod pals Jonathan and Julia are doing some amazing work, and we were psyched to join them and discuss "I'll Get You" on episode #210.  You can grab it here or wherever you get your podcasts.

Fourth, we are still working hard to get original Beatles drummer Pete Best a blue verified check mark on Twitter, and we need your help.  Shout it from the mountains: #PeteBestGetThatCheck

Finally, and most importantly, we are super chuffed up to announce a partnership with Cape Cod's Devil's Purse brewery.  We recently stopped by to see their operation and were given a wide variety of very delicious and very free beer.  To celebrate, we decided it was time to go on a flight.  Welcome to the first edition of THE FLIGHT ALBUM, featuring our good pal Chris.

"Ladies and gentlemen...The Beertles!"

In this, our inaugural episode, we introduce you -- fair listeners -- to Blotto Beatles in the same way they were introduced to the United States, through the song "All My Loving."

Who are we? Why are we here? Can we recap the history of the Beatles in 60 seconds? How good is All My Loving?  What does the Queen think of the Beatles' black turtlenecks?  All questions will be answered in this episode.

Welcome to Blotto Beatles, the show where we have a couple drinks and discuss one Beatles song in depth.  In this, our pilot teaser episode, we give you just a taste of what we are about; consider it to be a fine scotch that you sit back and sample while throwing on your favorite record from the Fab Four.
