The Beatles: They Came to a Land DownunderAuthor: Frank and Gaz
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 Swifts 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(b): And In the End, She Loves You
Thursday, 22 August, 2024
Frank and Gaz close out. The odyssey is over. They draw inspiration from Strong Songs to do some DIY deconstruction on She Loves You and This Boy. They finally track down the vital lost chord, pan diatonic monster cluster, and reharmonisation of a simple three-note motif that changed the world. And, of course, it all wouldn't have come together with Ringo and his trusty left-hand. Thanks to content contributor Galeazzo Frudua for lending his deconstructed vocal chords. And our friend Ash for displaying Ringo's prowess. And Darius De-Von for his fresh and upbeat reaction vids. Thanks folks.
