Double Fantasy

Explicit content warning

08/23/21 • 114 min

Season 2 comes to an end, coinciding with the tragic murder of John Lennon mere weeks after the release of his final studio album, the uplifting and eclectic Double Fantasy. After a break from the industry to raise his second son, Sean, a near-death experience at sea inspires a new burst of creativity after John reconciles with estranged wife Yoko Ono.

We discuss the unfulfilled potential of the Ono Lennon creative partnership while also touching on current day post-Beatles news. As always, we distract ourselves with unrelated conversations about Van Morrison, jizz music and answer the ultimate question... were Wolfmother shit?

Stick around to the end to hear our cover version of Lennon classic 'Beautiful Boy'.

McCartney II

This is it - the reason it all started and the standard by which we've measured everything thus far - Paul's wacky, experimental, fun yet occasionally extremely moving second solo album.

We talk through how the album came to be after the demise of Wings, all that came after that took from McCartney II, the uncanny valley of remastering records years later, plus Cameron does some Korn impressions. We then, of course, have a go at our own version of 'Temporary Secretary'. We hope you rate it a tenporary secretary.

Bonus: Get Back to Christmas

Ho ho ho! It's another We Don't Believe in Beatles Christmas special, just in time for us to discuss a little documentary that's been getting some attention lately... The boys catch up and discuss the Get Back mini-series, how it influenced the post-Beatles catalogue, Peter Jackson's earlier films, plus we compare and contrast the various iterations of the Let it Be album from over the years. Of course, we then cover Paul's Wonderful Christmastime for you all. We hope everyone out there has a safe and happy holiday season, we'll be back for season 3 very soon.
