Episode 152: ”Twin Freaks”

Happy 2022 Macca Fans! Our first show of the new year and we kick it off with Experimental Macca. In 2005 a low key (LP only) release called "Twin Freaks" was released which featured mash-ups of solo McCartney music. One year later in 2006 this became widely popular with the Beatles "Love" Cirque Du Soleil soundtrack. Paul made this record in collaboration with DJ "Freelance Hellraiser" (Roy Kerr). Joining us, is returning guest the Queen Kit O'Toole (The Queen of All Beatles Media) an apt and just title! Kit is the author of several books (Michael Jackson FAQ, The Songs We Were Singing - Guided Tours Through The Beatles Lesser Known Tracks). A researcher and writer of Popular Music for over 20 Years (not to mention contributing author to "Beatlefan" magazine) Kit gives us her opinions on mashups, it's origins, and place and classification as a genre. Tom, Andy and Kit definitely encourage you to check out this out if you haven't heard it. If you can find a vinyl copy (Cough Cough Tom). It's also on streaming services.
