Music Is My Radar

Part 2 of my matchup of Beatles songs vs. Solo Beatles songs. It's all Paul McCartney this time, and not every matchup is an easy Beatles victory. Take a trip with a bluebird, the Crimson Dynamo, to the C Moon! Also, a special shout-out to Kaiya Buffelen, a family musician who has covered one of these songs. Check her out on Spotify, and in and around the Seattle area for live performances!!https://open.spotify.com/artist/2hOtWIwOE2LFknnZClJ7Dq?si=9f1Af9i6Tg-pgxT2wKivcg

Well, I did it: I recorded a Beatles-centric episode. I will be comparing a Beatles song to its solo Beatle counterpart, determined by me. Which song will win each round? Part 1 has 5 matchups for John Lennon, 6 for George Harrison. Paul McCartney will be handled in Part 2. Here comes the....moon????

You all know "California Girls," "Surfin USA," and "I Get Around." In this episode, we look at some of the "other" tracks on their pre-Pet Sounds albums. Misguided covers, some curio pieces of its time, and some wtf decisions. Enjoy!!

We move on to 1966 and 1967 for the 2nd of the 2-part series of One Shot Wonders of the 1960's. A diverse set of artists here!

The 1960's were a fertile time for recording artists who had just one hit, but made the most of it. This is Part 1 of my favorite of these, covering up to 1965. Girl groups and some British Invasion songs included here!!!!

It's the summer of 1992, I'm 8 years old, and listening to KOOL 104 Oldies from dawn til dusk. This is a formative time for my music love, and 10 songs in particular were ones I loved and couldn't wait to hear each day. Enjoy!

So, it turns out I was making lists of #1 songs as far back as June 1997. Coming out of my Big Beatles Bubble that month at age 13, my musical exploration had only begun. Join me as I discuss a selection of these #1's. Almost all 1960's songs, some dorky, some stone cold all time classics. Enjoy!

After two episodes of picking apart Songs, I switch towards the positive here. I lift up 10 songs from the '60s and '70s that deserve to be held in higher regard!

Time to knock some more innocent songs down a peg! These all come from the '80s and '90s, by artists I love.

I love a lot of artists, and a lot of songs. But sometimes even my favorites have songs that have gotten too much love. This first part includes 8 songs from the '60s and '70s. No one is safe!!!!
