We're back on the creepy side of the White Album this episode, exploring John's definitely not drug-influenced "Happiness Is A Warm Gun." This song moves through 3 different movements so quickly and adeptly you'd think it was a Paul tune. It's got an ominous vibe to it, though features some absolutely brilliant playing from the lads, and some insane time shifts. It's a really intriguing and vibey song, and it makes me feel a whole lot of things...including the creeps.Joining us this week is Josh Bloom, author of the book The Apples In Stereo , a biography about the band The Apples In Stereo. He's also a music publicist and industry vet we've worked with in the past, and have had a great time getting to know. He's a big Beatles nerd like us and a really funny fella.
