Summary
3 facts you should know about me: I love the Beatles I love Paul's jaunty granny music I love dogs So the jauntiest of januty tunes inspired Paul's dog, Martha? PUT IT IN MY VEINS. I adore this tune, driven by what was originally a piano exercise. It features a really gorgeous vocal performance as well, Paul's really approaching the apex of his powers at this point in time musically, vocally, compositionally...he's just cranking out amazing stuff left and right, even if it doesn't fit the perceived mold of what the Beatles "should" be doing. Joining us this week is our OG podpal, our Beatle nephew, the always brilliant Sam Whiles, host of the Paul or Nothing podcast. We chat about his new radio gig, Anthology, the upcoming Man on the Run doc, a brutal round of "Marry, F**k, Kill," and more! What do you think about "Martha My Dear" at #69? Too high? Too low?
