Ep. 55 - Rye Baby Rye (feat. Mikey Erg)

Blotto Beatles

We begin by reviewing Tommy's Beatles fortune cookies before we read some fan mail; offer an a-PAUL-ogy, Becker's Papa's feelings on our weak ability to crack nuts and Tommy in general; Tommy's feelings on Papa's inability to restart a modem; our amazing guest and punk rock stalwart, Mikey Erg; recording records with Steve Albini; mastering records at Abbey Road; missed connections with Robert Plant and Giles Martin; pubs in the basement of Abbey Road; bullying Donovan; homework from Jeff Tweedy; RB blowing our minds, as usual; Tommy bringing up Shakespeare...again; and the royally-themed White Album gem, "Cry Baby Cry."
Make sure to check out Mikey's new record, Love at Leeds! Need one song as a starting place? Mikey suggests "Almost Like Judee Still."
As always, you can find Team Blotto Beatles on Instagram (@blottobeatles) and Twitter (@blottobeatles), by emailing us ([email protected]), or on the web (blottobeatles.com). We want to hear from you!
