The Beatles: They Came to a Land Downunder
Frank and Gaz
12 episodes
2 days ago
Frank and Gaz take a cross-disciplinary deep dive into The Beatles 1964 tour of Australasia. They explore where The Beatles went, who they met, and their broader social impact. But they also look more deeply into the nature of the land downunder - culturally and socially - using the Beatles as their point of departure. Expect some unexpected turns like discussion of Taylor Swift’s 2024 tour vis-a-vis the 1964 Beatles tour, connections to Ancient Rome and the classical era, feminist perspectives on the band and its history, and a rarely heard ABC (Australia) interview with John Lennon.

Episode 9 (Part I): Roll Over Beethoven

Frank and Gaz are back for their last hurrah in two parts. Once again they come off a long historic run, putting the Beatles 1964 music into the broader sweep of musical history. They consider the legitimacy of comparisons between Lennon/McCartney and Mahler, Beethoven, Bach and even Mach (Tufnel/St Hubbins). Drawing on Frank's part-time classical education, they may have uncovered the mystery of the 'Aeolian Cadence'. Typically eclectic and tangential. Good luck! [In part II they will deconstruct She Loves You and This Boy!, inspired by podcasts like Strong Songs.
