In the late 1980's, Paul McCartney took a shot at writing some songs with Elvis Costello. The ultimate result was a set of 15 songs, some of them never seeing the light of day until years later. But "Back On My Feet" was the first song that was released, buried as a B-side on the "Once Upon A Long Ago" single. It deserved better. Here, we explore the song in detail and shine a light on this overlooked gem.

Black Sabbath - "Spiral Architect"

Black Sabbath were at a standstill when it came time to make their 5th album. The ideas just weren't coming to guitarist Tony Iommi, and without his massive guitar riffs... well, there just wasn't any Black Sabbath. Weeks were wasted in the studio until he stumbled onto the riff that became "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath", and then they were off to the races. That song became the opening cut from the album that would bear its name; and the song that would bring that album to a close is "Spiral Architect", one of the most epic songs the band ever produced. On this episode, we explore the making of this album along with an examination of one of their most ambitious tracks, "Spiral Architect".

Let's explore the "Sleep That Burns".
