mardi 28 juillet 2020Duration 01:01:03

E 39: Paul McCartney - McCartney II

lundi 20 juillet 2020Duration 58:37

The world wasn't quite ready for McCartney II when Paul released it in 1980. It's cold and electronic sound is divisive among the hardcore fans.

In this episode, Kyle and Louie analyze what happens when a Beatle goes New Wave.
