We have hit Wednesday afternoon, and The AIR brings you new episodes of Curtain Call and Beatles Blast that both focus on what’s new. You can tune in at the website, or just stay right here and listen to the convenient embedded radio player lurking elsewhere on this page.
At 2 PM (EDT) Beatles Blast brings you a one-hour mixtape of that attempts to create “The Fantasy Final Album” by The Beatles. I put this together using the “new” tracks from 1995 and 2023, along with select solo tracks that sound Beatlesque, and I realize that millions of people have been doing mixtapes like this ever since The Beatles broke up, but this is my latest attempt. To make it more like an old-school LP, I take a short break in the middle so I can “turn it over” and play the B-side. Check out the playlist…
