Brian Wilson was a musical genius. And a new re-issue highlights his brilliance in live performance. And if there's anyone who can talk about Wilson's work it's David Leaf. He's literally written the book (well, 2, actually) as well as made the movie about Brian. Brian Wilson- Live at The Roxy Theater is available right now wherever you get your music.Plus, we discuss a few other books that came out this year that are worth your time and attention.

As Billy in the original “Silent Night, Deadly Night,” Robert Brian Wilson dons the Santa suit, chases the naughty with an axe, and makes good on his promise to “punish” them. Tune in to hear all about playing the OG Killer Santa in this 1984 horror classic, how he felt about all the controversy back then (and when his feelings changed), and the story behind why he isn't in the remake that just hit theaters.

Auch in diesem Jahr wollen wir euch beschenken: In unserem Weihnachtsspecial sprechen wir gleich über vier Alben! Mit dabei sind in diesem Jahr Ron Wood, D'Angelo, Tri Yann und Manfred Mann's Earth Band. Den Anfang macht Manfred Mann's Earth Band mit dem Album "Criminal Tango", dem persönlichen Meilenstein von SWR1 Musikredakteur Dave Jörg. Er erinnert sich sogar noch genau an den Moment, als er die erste Single des Albums zum ersten Mal gehört hat. Es war vor dem Fernseher 1986, in der Fernsehsendung "Na sowas!" mit Moderator Thomas Gottschalk. Für Sänger Chris Thompson war es das letzte Album mit "Manfred Mann's Earth Band". Und auch bei "Criminal Tango" steht er selber schon als Gast mit auf dem Cover – gesondert und nicht als Teil der Band. "Die Mischung aus rockigem Unterboden und verspielten Melodien hat mich total angesprochen!" – Dave Jörg Das Besondere an "Criminal Tango” ist für Dave Jörg auch die Mischung aus elektronischen Klängen und einer ordentlichen Portion Rock. Und für den größten ABBA-Fan der Redaktion sind auch die tollen Harmoniegesänge etwas, das ihn beeindruckt hat. "Harmoniegesänge machen was mit mir!" – Dave Jörg SWR1 Musikredakteur Stephan Fahrig hat uns für unser Weihnachtsspecial das im Jahr 2000 erschienene Album "Voodoo" von D'Angelo mitgebracht, einem der Wegbereiter des Neo-Soul, wie Frank König anfügt. Neo-Soul kam Mitte der 90er auf und verbindet Soul mit R 'n' B-Elementen, Jazz und Hip-Hop. Dabei erkennt man den Sound gut daran, dass er sehr reduziert ist und das Tempo sehr langsam ist. Drums, Bass und Keyboards (oft ein Fender Rhodes) sind da zu hören, erklärt Musikredakteur Stephan Fahrig. Neben großen Pop- und Rockstars wie Ozzy Osbourne, Brian Wilson, Ace Frehley und anderen ist auch D'Angelo auf der Liste der in diesem Jahr leider verstorbenen Künstler. Die Weichen für eine musikalische Karriere sind bei D'Angelo schon früh gelegt worden – und etwas klischeehaft, betont Stephan Fahrig. D'Angelo ist als Sohn eines Pfarrers geboren, hat früh Klavierspielen gelernt und auch in der Kirche gesungen. Danach hat er angefangen, selbstständige musikalische Entscheidungen zu treffen, und hat im Alter von 16 Jahren gemeinsam mit seinem Bruder eine Band gegründet. Anfang der 90er-Jahre geht D'Angelo nach New York, wo er von dem Label EMI einen Plattenvertrag bekommt. Im Jahr 2000 erscheint sein zweites Album "Voodoo", das, wie oben beschrieben, sehr reduziert klingt. Und auch ein Livealbum gibt's in unserem Weihnachtsspecial 2025. Moderator Frank König hat uns Musik von einem seiner liebsten Reiseziele mitgebracht, der Bretagne. Die Band heißt Tri Yann und ist die dienstälteste Band Frankreichs, wie König betont. Zu ihrem Jubiläum hat die Band ein Livealbum herausgebracht: "50 Ans De Scène". Die Idee hinter der Band, erklärt der Meilensteine-Moderator, ist, dass sie die Kultur und die Sprache der Bretagne in ihrer Musik wieder aufleben lassen wollen. Und das beginnt schon beim Namen der Band, der eben nicht französisch, sondern bretonisch ist und "die drei Jans" bedeutet – eben nach der Urbesetzung der Gruppe. Kennengelernt hat Frank König die Musik von Tri Yann Mitte der 70er-Jahre. Seitdem hat er die Band kontinuierlich weiterverfolgt und auch ihre Entwicklung mitbekommen. "Mit der Zeit sind die immer rockiger geworden. Also bretonisch-keltische Einflüsse, gemischt mit Rock. […] Mit der Zeit haben die sich ihre Fans erarbeitet, weil sie eben diese Musik in die Jetzt-Zeit geholt haben. Das war eine tolle Sache, weil die nicht nur die alten Traditionsweisen gespielt haben, sondern der Musik diesen neuen Touch beigefügt haben." – Frank König Meilensteine-Fans wissen, dass Katharina Heinius und Frank König zwei der größten Beatles-Fans der Welt (zumindest in der SWR1 Redaktion) sind. Und ausgerechnet Katharina bringt zum Weihnachtsspecial ein Album der "Konkurrenz" mit; das Soloalbum von Rolling Stones-Gitarrist Ron Wood "I've Got My Own Album To Do". Die Erklärung dafür gibt Heinius umgehend: "Es ist auch ein kleiner Teil der Beatles mit drauf", erklärt sie im Podcast. Und abgesehen davon hören wir auch noch andere Teile der Rolling Stones, der ehemaligen Band von Rod Stewart und Ron Wood, den Faces und auch David Bowie. "Es ist ein Album, das mir wahnsinnig ans Herz geht und das ich seit vielen, vielen Jahren schon hören kann. Das ist ein Album, wenn ich nicht weiß, was ich hören will, dann mache ich das an, weil das geht einfach immer!" – Katharina Heinius 1974 ist das Album "I've Got My Own Album To Do" entstanden, also in der Zeit, bevor Ron Wood Teil der Rolling Stones geworden ist. Wie kommt es, dass so viele Gaststars auf seinem Soloalbum vertreten sind? Das hat unterschiedliche Gründe. Zum einen war Ron Wood durch seine Umtriebigkeit in der Londoner Musikszene unglaublich gut vernetzt, und zum anderen hatte er zu der Zeit schon sein eigenes Haus mit Tonstudio. "The Wick" lag im etwas abgelegenen Londoner Westen, in Richmond. Dort hat sich die Londoner Musikszene gerne getroffen, miteinander Zeit verbracht und auch Musik gemacht. Kein Wunder, dass in diesem kreativen Umfeld ein Album entstehen konnte, das nicht auf Hits ausgelegt war, sondern auf dem wir einfach die Freude an der Musik und Freundschaft hören können. __________ Über diese Alben sprechen wir im Weihnachtsspecial 2025: (01:15) – "Criminal Tango" von Manfred Mann's Earth Band(10:02) – "Voodoo" von D'Angelo(22:00) – "50 Ans De Scène" von Tri Yann(35:35) – "I've Got My Own Album To Do" von Ron Wood __________ Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zum Weihnachtsspecial 2025 findet ihr hier: https://1.ard.de/meilensteine-weihnachtsspecial-2025 __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

Don and Dude return to honor two titans lost in 2025, revisiting albums that capture the creative peaks and lasting influence of Brian Wilson with The Beach Boys and Ozzy Osbourne with Black Sabbath. The episode traces how The Beach Boys Today! and Paranoid reshaped pop and heavy music, revealing how these records still echo through everything from chamber pop to modern metal.The Beach Boys – The Beach Boys Today! (1965) Brian Wilson uses Today! as a turning point, steering the band from surf-and-cars singles into a more introspective, studio-crafted pop world that points directly toward Pet Sounds. Side A delivers bright, radio-ready hooks like "Do You Wanna Dance?" and "When I Grow Up (To Be a Man), "while Side B dives into confessional ballads such as "Please Let Me Wonder" and "She Knows Me Too Well," blending chamber pop arrangements with vulnerable, adult themes.Black Sabbath – Paranoid (1970) Paranoid crystallizes the sound and mood of heavy metal, fusing Tony Iommi's down-tuned riffs, Geezer Butler's ominous lyrics, Bill Ward's jazz-schooled drumming, and Ozzy Osbourne's haunted vocals into a tight, relentless 1970 statement. From the anti-war sprawl of "War Pigs" and the sci-fi tragedy of "Iron Man" to the accidental hit "Paranoid" and the psychedelic "Fairies Wear Boots," the record turns fear, addiction, and apocalypse into riff-driven anthems that defined the genre.Dude is Diggin':The Macks – Bonanza (2025): A volatile, modern rock blast from a Portland band that smashes garage energy, psychedelic noise, and restless experimentation into a noisy, cathartic portrait of contemporary anxiety.Metallica – Reload (1997): A late-'90s reinvention that leans into groove and atmosphere, where hard rock bruisers like Fuel sit alongside moodier cuts like "The Memory Remains," featuring Marianne Faithfull's ghostly guest vocal.Don is Diggin':Just Desserts – Curtains (2025): A reflective, lo-fi-to-full-band set from Larry Fessenden and Tom Laverack that wrestles with post-COVID grief, aging, and small flashes of grace nearly four decades after their debut.The Cure – The Show of a Lost World (2025): A concert film capturing The Cure unveiling Songs of a Lost World in full at London's Troxy, framing the new material in a single, immersive performance.Follow the show on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and Bluesky @albumnerds, and support by subscribing, rating, reviewing, and sharing. “What we have once enjoyed deeply we can never lose.

Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. In this episode, we feature the next entry in The Chuck Granata Pet Sounds Interview Series. It's Chuck's dizzyingly inspired chat with legendary producer Mark Linett, the producer and audio engineer best known for his remixing and remastering of The Beach Boys' catalog. Since 1988, he's been the engineer of choice for Brian Wilson's recordings. In 1996, Linett created the first true stereo mix of Pet Sounds. He's also co-produced nearly all of the band's archival releases, including 1997's The Pet Sounds Sessions, 1998's Endless Harmony Soundtrack, 2003's Hawthorne, CA, and 2011's The Smile Sessions, as well as the Feel Flows (2021) and Sail On Sailor (2022) box sets.  In addition to earning three Grammy Awards, he was nominated for Best Engineered Album for his work on 2004's Brian Wilson Presents Smile. He's also worked with Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jane's Addiction, Los Lobos, Rickie Lee Jones, and Randy Newman.  This is Chuck's lengthy and consistently fascinating interview with Mark from the early 2000's for his Pet Sounds book…stay tuned for my own more recent interview, which covers completely different territory.

ChatGPT 5.1 says: “Strap in, warrior. This ain't your grandma's podcast recap. This week on UNRELENTING, Darren and Gene kick down the digital door and drag you head-first into a two-hour firefight with the modern world's most ridiculous enemy: AI panic, overproduced pop stars, dead-eyed concert zombies, and the cult of perfect pitch. It is equal parts chaos, tactical insight, and smart-assed commentary delivered with the subtlety of a breaching charge. You'll hear about: AI music taking over like a rogue SEAL team — turning Darren's ancient out-of-tune basement riffs into studio-polished bangers. The Great Lost Episode — Gene talking for 13 hours straight, and somehow no one hit “record.” A tragedy. A blessing. Depends who you ask. The Taylor Swift Lip-Sync Tribunal — and why live shows now look like a hostage situation conducted entirely through cell-phone screens. Monkey selfies, copyright insanity, and why your camera roll is probably illegal. The Wrecking Crew, Brian Wilson, perfect pitch, auto-tune, and the death of the human voice — all deconstructed with the precision of a sniper and the attitude of a drunk bar brawler. Thanksgiving stuffing made out of White Castle sliders, because why the hell not? Listener boosts, CSB shenanigans, AI slop music contests, electricity disasters at Gene's house, and biohacking with turkey tail mushrooms. By the end, you'll understand why this show couldn't be made in any corporate boardroom, any sanitized studio, or any HR-approved production pipeline. It's raw. It's unfiltered. It's two dudes with microphones and zero fear of offending the fragile ears of modern society. If you're tired of the same reheated, PR-approved digital oatmeal masquerading as content…If you want real talk, hard laughs, and opinions delivered with enough voltage to trip Gene's circuit breaker…If you're ready for the only podcast that can go from AI ethics to lego trains to stuffing recipes without losing a beat… Then hit play, sailor. UNRELENTING 0175 — the only show where the chaos is homemade, the insights are deadly accurate, and the mistakes are left in for your entertainment. Now quit reading and start listening. This episode isn't going to deconstruct itself.” Unrelenting: where discipline means no mercy, no bullshit, and no excuses. Thanks for listening. Please support the show! –>> DONATE NOW

Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. In this episode, we feature the next entry in The Chuck Granata Pet Sounds Interview Series. It's Chuck's chat with legendary producer Phil Ramone, Billy Joel's most relied-upon right-hand-man, the producer of every Billy Joel record during the height of his popularity, from 1977's The Stranger to 1986's The Bridge. Phil won his first production Grammy for his work on Paul Simon's Still Crazy After All These Years in 1975, eventually becoming chairman of The Recording Academy. He also helped produce, with Quincy Jones, 2001's televised A Tribute To Brian Wilson. His credits and accomplishments in the industry are almost literally endless, and what better place to learn about them than Chuck Granata's 2007 memoir (co-written with Phil) Making Records: The Scenes Behind The Music. Phil passed away a few years after this interview in 2013, which makes this posthumously released “Chuck Chat” yet another priceless buried treasure.   Here are just a few of the many things that Phil discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: The dysfunctional Wilson family dynamic, which Phil talks about with great candor; Digging into the history of harmony, and the experience of working with The Beach Boys on Chicago's “Wishing You Were Here”; Working with Burt Bacharach, and Phil's transition from engineer to producer; The differences between east coast and west coast records in the 1960s & 1970s; The Nylon Curtain's debt to both The Beatles & Pet Sounds-era Beach Boys; Why Elton John was nervous to perform at the Brian Wilson tribute; And stereo vs. mono with regard to hearing Pet Sounds.

“There are dozens of Beach Boys!” Jack Reiley (Beach Boys manager 1970 to 1973) said: “The Beatles were focussed, strategic, professionally and well-led during the years of their mounting ascendency. During that period, the Beach Boys were divided, unprofessional and horrendously led… There was no career direction to speak of and chaos reigned.” Transcendental meditation, Charles Manson, heroic drug abuse, tragic deaths, the piano in the sandpit, a chapter which asks the question, “Why do people hate Mike Love? Let me count the ways…”, and arguably the worst album sleeve of any major release, but at the same time, peerless vocal harmonies and, in his glory years, a pop writer … Continue reading →

Anything is possible as we welcome power pop icon Chris Stamey from the dB's as our Third Lad! Our focus topic is on the producers of the O3L era - the sonic architects that carry out the visions of the artists we love and shape the sound of our favorite records. And Chris Stamey is someone who knows, as he's produced some fantastic records over the years, including albums by Pylon, Whiskeytown, Le Tigre, The Butchies, Alejandro Escovedo, and many more. Of course, that's only scratching the surface of Chris's amazing 50 year career, from releasing one of the earliest DIY indie records (Sneakers) to playing with Alex Chilton in the late '70s to being one of the creative forces in the seminal, era-defining band the dB's, to his fruitful solo career, a radio play, a songwriting memoir, and working with over 100 artists including fellow dB and recent O3L guest Peter Holsapple, Yo La Tengo, Freedy Johnston, The Golden Palominos, and more recently with The Salt Collective and Jody Stephens' Big Star Quintet. We chat with Chris about his gorgeous new album, Anything Is Possible, the influence of Brian Wilson, Alex Chilton, Tin Pan Alley, and the Lemon Twigs, the essence of being Chris Stamey, and the enduring legacy of producers like Martin Hannett, Martin Rushent, John Leckie, Scott Litt, Mitch Easter, Joe Foster, Steve Albini, Rick Rubin, Gil Norton, John Fry, Chris Thomas, and more.

This week's Mixtape Rewind takes you back to January 2022 when Matt and Sam gave you 12 new tracks from the latter part of 2021.  Sam is almost certain one song is Norwegian but later realizes it was actually French - you'll have to listen to find out what that's all about. (The perils of recording early in the morning).Nearly four years ago, we went from a posthumous Juice WRLD cut with Justin Bieber to a high-voltage rocker from Goodbye June, before swerving into Nas's compact masterclass and The Smile's angular warning shot from Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood.The middle of the journey softens without losing purpose. Save Face disguises a dark story in glittering pop-punk; Stromae returns with a beautiful, aching meditation on isolation; Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats bring blues rock warmth with a simple promise: I'm on your side. We keep that thread alive with Aurora's poetic electro-pop and a cinematic surprise—U2's Your Song Saved My Life from Sing 2—proof that film can spark songs meant to be felt by every age in the room.We land the plane with intimacy and legacy. JJ Wilde and Billy Raffoul trade lines like late-night confessions, Brian Wilson reminds us what a signature sound really means, and Broken Social Scene closes with a winter-walk tempo and a lyric about moving slowly through uncertainty. It's a mix built for replay and for sharing—equal parts adrenaline and reflection, discovery and comfort. Here's the mix available on our Super Awesome Mix app (requires Apple Music): https://app.superawesomemix.com/qdjkzrCDUd7y4sx68 Here's the mix on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6Qc8jOICb2quuMWO8XnrJy?si=d510dc3ff85e4430Wandered to LA by Juice WRLD & Justin BieberStep Aside by Goodbye June40-16 Building by NasYou Will Never Work In Television Again by The SmileGLITTER by Save FaceL'enfer by StromaeI'm On Your Side by Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night SweatsEverything Matters by AURORAYour Song Saved My Life by U2Let Me Go by JJ Wilde & Billy RaffoulRight Where I Belong by Brian Wilson & Jim JamesCurse Your Fail by Broken Social Scene Support the showVisit us at https://www.superawesomemix.com to learn more about our app, our merchandise, our cards, and more!

Today on another encore episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to three prior guests of the podcast who are talking to us in the boldest experiment in Rarified Heir Podcast history! How so? We are talking to them all at once. Something we had never done before. But don't fret, Carnie Wilson, Jenny Brill and Shawn Kay have been friends for quite a long time and, in fact, they know each other and host Josh Mills from as far back as elementary school. There are laughs and some tears on this one. Since the time of this recording, sadly we have lost two of the celebrity parents of our guests, as both Mitzi McCall, mother of Jenny Brill and Brian Wilson, father of Carnie Wilson have both passed away as of this encore episode. While it puts things in perspective rather quickly, it also helps us to realize that the entire point of this podcast is to make sure that in this fast paced world, we don't forget the names and stories about some of the most beloved entertainers of the 20th century. And with that in mind, this episode is a rollicking one, a bit experimental as we said but also fast paced, filled with childhood memories and what it was like not only growing up the child of a celebrity but also with friends whose parents were also celebrities. We get into some ridiculous tales about the Oakwood school where they all met, insane stories about album jackets as modes of transportation and a nostalgic trip down a very 1970s memory lane. Which begs the question, just how did the children of Mitzi McCall, Charlie Brill, John Kay, Brian Wilson and Marilyn Wilson get along? In a word? Famously. Take a listen.

I SEE A FAMOUS BABY IN THE FUTURE – THE STAGE NAME DICAPRIO ALMOST HAD – Shatner in the hospital – AND A GREAT LIST OF ONE HIT WONDERS Rihanna and A$AP Rocky welcomed their third baby . . . and FIRST girl. It's hard to imagine Leonardo DiCaprio with a different name. But it almost happened. A lot of celebrities were born with "ethnic"-sounding names, but changed them as they pursued fame . . . either because they were told to, or they themselves thought it would help. We discussed more celeb name changes. We haven't had a good supergroup in a while. But that's about to change, thanks to Howl Owl Howl.

In this episode, Chris and Chris dive into Brian Wilson's life leading up to the creation of The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds and take a closer look at the beautiful and complex “God Only Knows.” Originally released as the B-side to “Wouldn't It Be Nice,” the song wasn't a major hit at the time, but has gone on to become one of the most revered and timeless tracks in pop music history. With Brian Wilson's passing earlier this year, the conversation also reflects on his influence and the emotional weight this song continues to carry nearly six decades later.

Brian Wilson was the quiet one. The genius in the bathrobe. The ghost at the piano bench. He wrote Pet Sounds, rewrote pop music history, and was nearly destroyed for it. This is the story of how mercy, murder, theft, and family fractured the mind behind the Beach Boys—and how Brian Wilson reclaimed his music, his story, and his soul.
