'Eyes of the Storm' photos by Paul McCartney, on Listening Lyrics, Sept. 5, 2025

Fri, 09/05/2025 - 5:10pm | Pieter Pastoor

P1964-12-22_DS.jpg

Nearly 60 years after the Beatles performed their final concert at Candlestick Park, Beatlemania is back in the Bay in the form of "Eyes of the Storm" at the de Young, an exhibit of more than 250 personal photographs by Paul McCartney. Images of screaming crowds and paparazzi show the magnitude of the group’s fame and the cultural change they represented.  

In this hour, I play the music of artists mentioned in this photo display -- music the Beatles enjoyed in the early 1960s.

Go back in time. Listen in.

MyDavisCalifornia on Listening Lyrics, Aug. 29, 2025

Fri, 08/29/2025 - 5:10pm | Pieter Pastoor

IMG_4535.jpeg

Heads up: This live recording comes with a few “authentic” technical hiccups (let’s call it character, not static). Luckily, the enthusiasm more than makes up for it—it practically jumps through the speakers.

In the studio with me are Richard Jia and Gray  Eby of MyDavisCalifornia, chatting—sometimes loosely, sometimes wildly off-track—about their website and the quirky little town we all love, Davis.

Now, this isn’t your average “local blog where someone posts about their cat and favorite burrito joint.” Nope. MyDavisCalifornia is a full-on content playground: stories, visuals, collaborations, insider tips—the works. Born in 2021 out of sheer enthusiasm (and possibly too much coffee), it’s become the digital buddy you didn’t know you needed for exploring Davis.
