"When I Get Home" is a great example of peak early-period John Lennon. It\'s a raucous track with interesting harmonies, an amazing vocal delivered with all the attitude and swagger of someone who\'d dared to take on the world and won. It\'s a brutal, rocking punch that found it\'s way to the second half of the "A Hard Day\'s Night" album. It\'s really got nothing going against it, other than it\'s maybe the most "throwaway" of John\'s early peak. Well, that, and maybe one of the worst bits of lyric the man every committed to tape. But he sells it and the track wins in the end. **Note** No cows were hurt in the making of this episode.

Joining us this week are the hosts of one of our favorite podcasts, "El Vinilo." Thanks to the internets, we check in with Matt, Adam, and Grace over in that oft-spoken city of Liverpool. Their podcast (one of the favorites in the RTB house) is a look at Rolling Stone Magazine\'s top 100 albums of all time, and each week they discuss an album and compare it with a new release to see what stands up or stands out. We touch on growing up and discovering The Beatles in Liverpool, The Beatles\' influence on worship music, the pros and cons of loving til the cows come home, and how to run a podcast based on a list when the list gets changed well after you start that podcast! Do yourselves a favor and join in their discussions by subscribing to their show, following them on Instagram or Facebook, or picking up some of their wicked merch! (Which reminds me, we should get some RTB march)
