365. McCartney III with Davey Lane (You Am I) and Seja Vogel

365. McCartney III with Davey Lane (You Am I) and Seja Vogel

As Australia heads back into lockdown, friends of the show Seja Vogel and Davey Lane join me and our respective bottles of whiskey for a truly epic deep dive into Paul McCartney's 'rockdown' LP McCartney III. Starting with an overview of Sir Paul's 21st century output so far, we dig into the record track by track and discuss, dissect, argue, sing and do some truly diabolical impressions along the way as we work our way through the latest work by the greatest pop artist of all time. This is a vast and by the end, totally unhinged, conversation between three confirmed Beatles tragics about not just this album, but what Paul McCartney's legacy means and what it's like to operate as an artist with literally no peers long after your heyday.

Topics discussed include:

- Pandemic pop songs
- The differences in approach from McCartney to McCartney II and McCartney III
- McCartney's drumming style and how 'non-drummers' play drums
- McCartney's lyric writing process and if that has changed since the 60s
- Jeff Lynne's influence on the drum sounds
- How McCartney's parental instincts inform his songwriting
- How letting himself sound 'old' on songs like Pretty Boys enhances their meaning
- How the Josh Homme and Dominic Fike 'reimagined' versions of songs from this record top the originals
- Davey and Seja's recent experiences recording albums by themselves during lockdown
- The challenge of collaborating when you have no peers
- The best and worst of the McCartney Three-imagined album
- How McCartney deals emotionally with the pandemic without ever mentioning it explicitly
- Constructing the ultimate McCartney-centric supergroup
- Who is the male Helen Mirren?
- Should McCartney be singing about sex at 78?
- Our picks for McCartney's best lyrics.
