Ep. 15.2 | DELUXE REISSUE: Beatle Bottoms

Beatle Bottoms. To some, bottoms is a synonym for “tushie”, as they say in the industry. For Tony & T.J., it’s their least favourite Fab 4 songs. And boy do they just disagree. But there ain’t no good guy, there ain’t no bad guy, there’s only this deluxe reissue of one of our favorite early episodes, reproduced for disc by Grandmaster Casey.

Clickbait: Are T.J. and Tony in a Beatles cult? The answer may dumbfound you!!

In this Labor Day Spectacular (not that spectacular really) T.J. and Tony comb the floor of the Sea of Holes in search of the least fab Beatles songs. Listen for adjectives like "treacly" and "loathsome"(!).

Also included are hot takes on R.E.M. vs Barenaked Ladies, and a very brief tribute to short form improv.

Meanwhile, T.J. discloses one of his "Beatle nightmares" while Tony wears out his “Beatle bag.”

Fact cheque: "It’s All Too Much" was recorded at De Lane Lea Studios and "Baby, You’re A Rich Man" at Olympic Sound Studios.

Neither T.J. nor Tony can remember what a clavioline is.
