Give My Regards to Broad Street (Film Review)

Untitled Beatles Podcast ·

2021/04/17

At long last, T.J. and Tony review Sir Paul's magnum opus: Give My Regards to Broad Street. Starring and written by Paul McCartney, the 1984 movie was panned by critics and audiences alike, but brought us some of Paul's best music of the decade ("No More Lonely Nights"), and some of his worst remakes of his best music from decades past (lookin' at you, "Long and Winding Road"). This long and rambling podcast leads to all the usual goofs and giggles, and—as far as we're able to ascertain—what we

Favourite Beatles Extras

Untitled Beatles Podcast ·

2021/04/10

Sure, we've all heard the Abbey Road medley a million times, but when's the last time you checked out Mean Mr. Mustard Take 20 or Polythene Pam Take 27? This week, the guys dig through their crates of reissues, bonus tracks, and bootlegs to unearth their favorite Fab Four extras. Tune in to find out: Can TJ possibly find a way to tie this one to a Broadway musical and/or a 1970s sitcom? Which Lennon rarity did Tony cover from his living room/recording studio in 2014? Does Coach Ditka listen to

BONUS: "Look at Me" Ultimate Mix, Joe Strummer on...

Untitled Beatles Podcast ·

2021/04/08

It's another BONUS EDITION to cover some breaking news from the Beatlesverse. Tony and TJ tackle the first album release in a decade from George Harrison's Dark Horse Records—Joe Strummer's posthumous Assembly—and another sneak peek Plastic Ono Band Ultimate Mix of one of John's sweetest tunes, "Look at Me." But really, the guys are just using these new releases as an excuse to talk about musical theater, John Lennon's love of cats (and Cats), TJ's love of Tucker, Tony's blasphemous lack of love for

The Beatles Live at Budokan (1966)

Untitled Beatles Podcast ·

2021/04/03

Missing live music as much as we are? This week we offer you an hour-long escape to 1966 Japan, where the Fab Four played their iconic concerts at Budokan. Maybe not their most polished performances, but definitely memorable, and definitely a portrait of the Beatles in a critical moment of transition, fresh off their Revolver recording sessions. We've got lots of music in store for you, along with: All of TJ's favorite 1980s deodorant and bratwurst commercials A bit of Tony's junior high pop

BONUS: Klaatu's 3:47 EST (1976)

Untitled Beatles Podcast ·

2021/04/01

In the heat of the mid-70s desperate anticipation of a Beatles reunion, the mysterious Canadian band Klaatu released an out-of-this-world album that listeners couldn't help but speculate had been secretly recorded by... some other fabulous foursome. Tony and TJ pick apart the enduring enigma surrounding 3:47 EST. And, in the process: Tony spins one of his favorite Carpenters tracks TJ finds a way to tie it all back to 80s TV and musical theater And we all get to finally dispel some of the wild

Ringo's "Zoom In" EP (2021)

Untitled Beatles Podcast ·

2021/03/27

It's rare that TJ and Tony get the chance to deep-dish about NEW RELEASES from the Fab Four, but last week, Ringo Starr dropped his new "Zoom In" EP. Could it be his best work since "Vertical Man"? Will Tony etch another record into his Solo Beatles Mount Rushmore? (Spoiler: NO.) We also check out the newly released Plastic Ono Band bonus track "It'll Be Me" featuring John, Ringo, Klaus Voorman, and Billy Preston, as well as a couple of early George Martin experimental synth tracks slated for a

We are back from our hiatus with a brand new episode! In which TJ and Tony evaluate some brand new Fab Four content! (OR IS IT?) This week, we dig into: The newly released version of "Mother" from John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band: Ultimate Mix, or Ultimately Uneventful? The mysterious new "Beatles EPs" popping up on streaming services like Spotify—All About the Girl, New Years Workout, Meditation Mix, and so on The baffling inclusion of "Here Comes the Sun" on The Beatles For Kids - Animals

Deluxe Reissue: Help! LP (1965)

Untitled Beatles Podcast ·

2021/03/06

The guys go all Dave Dexter this week, issuing a remixed, remastered, special deluxe vinyl edition of their August 2020 deep dish into the Help! LP. More music, more goofs, maybe a little extra reverb, but always the same classic Tony and TJ tangents. [FROM AUGUST 2020] For the 55th anniversary of the Help! album, TJ and Tony go track by track, offering hot takes on Maureen Cleave and a cautionary tale for prospective buyers of the Back to the Future III soundtrack.

Brainwashed (2002)

Untitled Beatles Podcast ·

2021/02/27

It seems almost unfathomable, but this past week would’ve been George Harrison’s 78th birthday, almost 20 years after his body exited the material world. In honor of that melancholy milestone, Tony & T.J. do a deep dish into his last album of new material, 2002’s Brainwashed; much of which was recorded as George knew he was dying. It’s a poignant, beautiful record, which gets its proper due here, but of course doesn’t stop the Untitled Duo from their usual insane diversions; including, but not

The Decca Auditions (1962)

Untitled Beatles Podcast ·

2021/02/20

This week, Tony and TJ hop in their time machine to revisit some of the earliest proto-Beatles (pre-Ringo!) recordings: The Decca Auditions. Never officially released—you can find them all on YouTube, or if you're lucky, a Japanese import CD—these tapes capture the band at their most raw. Things to look forward to: The guys get... a little punchy The Fab Three get a little nervous for the big audition Poor Pete Best gets the Charlie Brown treatment (why's everybody always pickin' on him?)

Beatles Valentimes [sic]

Untitled Beatles Podcast ·

2021/02/13

Love is in the air, and for Tony, TJ, and the Fab Four, it's more than just holding hands. This Valentine's Day, the guys present some of their favorite Beatles love songs. Not the 1977 Love Songs compilation; not the 2006 Cirque du Soleil soundtrack. They cut straight to the good stuff. We're talking: Romantic and carnal love (content warning: the F word gets some action here) Freudian mother-lover mashups Chili dogs outside the Tastee Freez And just maybe an unexpected wild card or

Deep Dish: The Beatles' Second Album (1964)

Untitled Beatles Podcast ·

2021/02/06

The gang continues its exploration of the early U.S. Capitol Records releases, this week covering the covers-heavy Beatles' Second Album. Tony owns up to his early underestimation of this classic TJ goes to bat for his official Fifth Beatle Bryan Adams brings his piano to your mom's porch And we think we've maybe stumbled upon the next great (grown-ups only) classic rock radio format, just in case this whole podcast thing doesn't pan out Apologies in advance to the City of Sacramento, and

Solo Beatles Mt. Rushmore

Untitled Beatles Podcast ·

2021/01/30

For this week's show, Tony and TJ blast their current favorite Fab Four solo tracks into the side of a mountain for everyone to see and hear. It's a long and meandering drive to the Black Hills of South Dakota, but along the way: We learn about Tony's irrational love for a wailin' saxophone and his irrational fear of a pie in the face TJ reveals just how too-much he knows about ill-conceived sitcom spin-offs And we make a pit stop for a taste of George Harrison's favorite Indian

Caveman (Film Review)

Untitled Beatles Podcast ·

2021/01/23

This week TJ and Tony dust off their "Sneak Previews" sweaters to review the cult classic Caveman, starring Ringo Starr. Is this difficult-to-stream comedy superior to A Hard Day's Night? Is this hard-to-watch romp more enjoyable than Two Virgins? Is it better than a stag film shown in a small room at Beatlefest 81? In this spoiler-laden assessment, the Tangential Two wax nostalgic about the golden era of NBC's Thursday night line-up, Ribbie and Roobarb, and a pre-Fox television

BONUS: Phil Spector Dead at 81

Untitled Beatles Podcast ·

2021/01/19

As a bonus podcast, we have an excerpt from Twitch & Shout on the Chicago4Real Twitch Channel, in which TJ and Tony acknowledge the passing of legendary murderer and record producer Phil Spector. They discuss his connection to the Fab Four and the complications of assessing the artistic work of a convicted killer. Plus an excerpt from I Dream of Jeannie! This was originally broadcast on January 18, 2021.

Meet The Beatles

Untitled Beatles Podcast ·

2021/01/16

To brighten up this winter of discontent, the Untitled Beatles Podcast resurrects a buried American classic, the Fab Four's Capitol debut Meet The Beatles. TJ and Tony will get geeky and soapboxy about mixes and pressings (as everyone knows "T" stands for "Mono") while expressing their love for this unstreamable masterpiece. Meanwhile, TJ confuses Porgy and Bess with Toto, and Tony confuses a Music Man tune with a groan-inducing improv warm up game. Plus a few Star Wars references fall off the

Deep Dish: McCartney III

2021/01/09

Is the latest in the McCartney trilogy his best? Only the Untitled Beatles Podcast knows... While TJ's fractured arm continues to mend, he and Tony have the rare treat of reviewing a brand new album from a living Beatle, 2020's McCartney III. They touch on life during "Rockdown," friendly differences in musical taste (Black Keys vs. Blues Explosion), and speculate about members of Wings as Fat Albert characters. For Chicagophiles, TJ’s “Angry Chicago Jagoff” character makes a return, and they pay a

Deep Dish: McCartney II

Untitled Beatles Podcast ·

2021/01/02

While TJ mends a newly fractured arm, the Untitled Beatles Podcast explores Sir Paul’s strangest record, 1980’s McCartney II. What this episode lacks in live piano accompaniment, it makes up for in analog synthesizers and bonehead needle drops, as TJ and Tony do battle over "Temporary Secretary," "On The Way," and "Front Parlour." Other bouts include TLC vs En Vogue and ET vs M&Ms. By the end of this unnecessary special edition, you'll know which kind of retail sandwich this album most resembles

Deep Dish: McCartney (1970)

Untitled Beatles Podcast ·

2020/12/27

The first in a series of the Untitled Beatles Podcast’s exploration of the “McCartney” albums kicks off with the cute one’s 1970 solo debut. TJ and Tony make a case for its greatness and its weakness in the context of other solo Beatle ventures that year while revealing which Breakfast Club members they most identified with. Also, what if Lady Madonna and The Fool On The Hill had made it? Meanwhile a random Joe Jackson reference unwittingly unlocks a turbulent used car memory for Tony in the
