The Beatles' "Love" on BBC Radio 2 Today
Just remembered that they were playing tracks from 'Love' today, all day on BBC Radio 2.
Using the 'Listen Again' function, I'm gonna track down all the songs they played. Firstly, here's 'Strawberry Fields Forever' during Terry Wogan's show... http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio...2/r2_wogan_mon It starts at 39 minutes 54 seconds in, so you have to skip 35 minutes and sit through Glen Fry's 'The Heat Is On' (or miss the first few seconds by skipping 40 minutes). As for the reworking, it's a-may-zing. There's this weird other-worldly feel to it. It sounds more sparse but somehow more full. The obvious mash-up elements don't really occur until the end of the song, during the part which goes "Spling! Spling! Spling! Spling!" (if you know what I mean). |

'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' was played during Ken Bruce's show...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio...2/r2_bruce_mon It starts at 42 minutes 28 seconds in, just after Nelly Furtado's 'All Good Things (Come To An End)'. It's basically George Harrison's original demo with a new George Martin string arrangement underscoring it - the only new instrumentation on the whole album apparently. |

'Lady Madonna' was played during Steve Wright's show...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio.../r2_wright_mon It starts at 2 hours, 50 minutes 42 seconds in, but the idiot hardly plays any of it!!! |

'Octopus's Garden' was played during the Drivetime show...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio...2/r2_evans_mon This opening features a pure mash-up of the original song and 'Good Night' from "The White Album" - which is really impressive. After the intro however, it doesn't really sound much different! You do get to hear 'Sun King' creep in at the end though. It starts at 5 minutes 6 seconds in. |
