Listen Up

LET IT ROLL has been one of my favorite podcasts for almost 4 years now and host Nate Wilcox is about my age so it's no surprise that like myself, he's a total acolyte of Ian MacDonald (who I was bummed to find out had died years earlier) and his cherished, genre-defining Revolution in the Head, one of the very first (certainly mine) books that took apart every Beatles song with startling technical detail. Anyhoo, put all that together and you have his latest podcast episode, which may be the best one yet. 🥲

Thank you for drawing attention to it
Band biography + music theory + sociology + informed opinion
I enjoy his eclectic approach; 10:01 PM
