Single #12: Live and Let Die/I Lie Around

Friday, July 3, 2026 • Duration 10:42

The last of the Wings-related content for a long time, I talk about Bond, myths and legends, grammar, and what makes a good Bond theme.

*I also left out a qualifier--the bulk of the budget for the music for the movie went to Paul, but it would be easy to parse what I said as being the bulk of the film's budget, which is not accurate.

Record #47: Jacques Dutronc (1966)

Season 2 · Episode 21

Friday, June 26, 2026 • Duration 34:59

I'm back on my merde, as I discuss the first LP from French rock star and actor Jacques Dutronc. I cover the perils of analogy, Dylan impressions, garage rock and more. In addition to many men named Jacques, I also mention Spielberg, Truffaut, and of course, since it wouldn't be an episode of French pop music otherwise, Johnny Hallyday.

Single #11: Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey/Too Many People

Friday, June 19, 2026 • Duration 06:14

A brief detour back into the English language, and Paul's first post-breakup #1. I talk about satisfying chord progressions, funny voices, and singalongs. I also touch on diss tracks.

Record #46: C'est Chic! French Girl Singers of the 1960s

Season 2 · Episode 20

Friday, June 12, 2026 • Duration 37:18

Salut, les copains! I tackle the birth of yéyé pop, a distinctly French phenomenon of the 60s. I talk about cultural chauvinism, disparate influences, and the dominance of female singers in the French music scene, and how that might have been a double-edged sword. I also, despite having decent French language skills, struggle with switching back and forth between English and French within a single sentence. Ah well, c'est la guerre!

Record #45: Red Rose Speedway (2018)

Season 2 · Episode 19

Friday, June 5, 2026 • Duration 21:34

As I mentioned on the previous episode, Red Rose Speedway was originally conceived of as a double album. When EMI said "nope", Paul shuffled some stuff around and compressed it into a single. In 2018, Paul reconstructed the original vision for the album. So I bought it. I talk about sequencing, vibes, and counterfactuals.

Record #44: Red Rose Speedway

Season 2 · Episode 19

Friday, May 29, 2026 • Duration 30:33

We're still in the throes of a Maccathon. While I wait for The Boys of Dungeon Lane, we might as well talk about Wings' second album, and its long and winding road (hah!). I talk banning, touring, and harmonies. This week, I cover the single LP version as it was released in 1973.

Single #10: Instant Karma/Who Has Seen the Wind

Friday, May 22, 2026 • Duration 10:07

It is a truth universally acknowledged that the breakup of the Beatles was a fraught hot mess. It was also a slo-mo train wreck, and in alternate timelines, it is possible that the end could have been delayed, if not completely avoided. However, the release of Instant Karma, and its chart success, was probably the point of no return. I discuss the song, as well as the paradox that is John Lennon, offer my Yoko Ono hot take, and shout out the work of a couple other podcasts. An eventful ten minutes.

Record #43: Wild Life

Season 2 · Episode 18

Friday, May 15, 2026 • Duration 32:41

After covering covering four studio albums from Wings (plus one modern repress auxiliary copy and a belated post hoc release), we return to the beginning. I cover the origins of Wings, how the band got its name, and why Paul may have rushed into the studio after a few weeks of jamming in Scotland.

Eliot Robert's deep dive into Paul's discography: https://youtu.be/WIOMiAMyKJ0?si=hz9eScgZonl7Ym3K

Record #42: McCartney II (2022 repress)

Season 2 · Episode 17

Friday, May 8, 2026 • Duration 28:08

We return to Weird Paul and his bleep bloops! I talk about my second copy of McCartney II, why the Archive Collection version is on my Discogs wantlist, and go on a discursive journey about how streaming has allowed many people to too aggressively curate their music listening habits, which might stunt their musical taste. And if that weren't enough, I cover side two!

RIP John Lennon; you would have loved the Archive Collection version of McCartney II.

Record #41: McCartney II (1980 copy)

Season 2 · Episode 16

Friday, May 1, 2026 • Duration 28:40

Is this Paul McCartney's most divisive album? Probably. While other albums might be less loved, few are more hated. I dig its weirdness. I talk about ambivalence, experimentation, and the inadvisability of bringing a big ol' bag o' weed into Japan. I also present my lukewarmest of lukewarm Beatles takes.
