This week we're MONKEEING AROUND with THE MELLONS! The Mellons are a Utah baroque-pop quartet who invoke the late-60's golden age with a floral concoction of full-bodied melodies, tender harmonies, and maximalist production. Based out of Salt Lake City, the group channel the sunshine-drenched good vibrations of Brian Wilson, the British Invasion, & the orchestral stylings of harmony groups like The Left Banke, The Association, and The Millenium. We will talk to them about their inspirations, up to and including The Monkees! Monkeeing Around is a part of the ESO Podcast Network, Executive Producer Mike Faber. #monkees #mellons #andrewbeck #denneyfuller #themellonsincolor

Our Beach Boys saga continues today with what some consider the spiritual successor to Pet Sounds... whereas others... really didn't dig it. With one foot in their classic lighthearted era and one foot firmly in what would become the new wave (with Brian Wilson's extensive use of synth as a way to simplify production), a lot of people didn't know what to make of "The Beach Boys Love You". It was oddly gruffer than their previous output and Brian was back to taking big swings, with the harmonies still popping as they always did. Regardless of how you feel, it is an interesting listen that grows on you and we're going to talk about it.

On the latest episode Nobody's Ever Asked Me That, Nick Dawson talks with Magnetic Fields frontman, Stephin Merrit, who was recently (and rightly!) named by the New York Times as one of the 30 greatest living songwriters. In a sprightly, wide-ranging conversation, the two discuss such divergent topics as Brian Wilson's warning about caffeine and creativity, falling asleep at the movies, the hilarious reason why Ang Lee has beef with his Westchester neighbors, Stephin's hatred of biopics, his genius plan for a series of soporific audiobooks, dreaming Divine's death years before it actually happened, and much more.

Every year, a jigsaw puzzle. But this year, the pieces gelled. On this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael returns to the corporate headquarters of the Shenandoah Valley Music Festival in Woodstock (as always, delighting Dennis Lynch by calling it that) for her annual walk through the summer concert series at Orkney Springs. And Dennis has assembled a genuinely wide-ranging 2026 lineup — Little River Band, The Four Tops, Diamond Rio, a 250th-anniversary big-band night with the Lynchburg Symphony Orchestra, Al Jardine of the Beach Boys with Brian Wilson's band, the Bacon Brothers, and Hotel California to close out Labor Day weekend. Dennis walks Janet through each show, the low-ticket alerts (Little River Band has fewer than 100 pavilion tickets left), why the venue is genuinely 5-10 degrees cooler than the valley below, what you can and can't bring (blankets yes, tents no, pets no, food yes), and the audience zones on the lawn ("we have what we call high chairs — that's where we put the babies"). Then the conversation turns to something new: the Community Art Collaborative is bringing a mosaic project into the festival this summer. On four select concert nights (Little River Band, Diamond Rio, Bacon Brothers, and Hotel California — with more possible if demand builds), concertgoers will help assemble a permanent glass mosaic that will travel between Woodstock and Orkney Springs. Plus: the Bacon Brothers' local hero nomination form, the Hot Strings and Cool Breezes free workshop, package deals with Shrine Mont, the "pick six" ticket discount, and a firm warning about third-party ticket resellers. Buy your tickets at musicfest.org — and only musicfest.org. 2026 SUMMER CONCERT SERIES AT A GLANCE FRIDAY, JULY 17 — LITTLE RIVER BAND Australian rock legends, 30+ million records sold.

This week we're talking to Panda Bear and Sonic Boom whose second collaborative album, A Question of When, is out this week via Domino. We discussed how this album differed from their first, 2022's RESET, and some of the interesting sounds on this one, including steel drum, yodeling, loops of Mary Lattimore playing harp, and a police siren that had unintended consequences. We also talked about their decision to not release A Question of When on streaming services and how that ties into the album's themes of action in the face of adversity, how Brian Wilson has influenced both of them, five albums they think everyone should hear, and more. -- Credits: Hosted & produced by Bill Pearis Mixed and mastered by Nick Gray Theme music by Michael Silverstein
Leo Rossi spent decades behind the scenes with legendary artists including Fleetwood Mac, The Who, Brian Wilson, Prince, Chaka Khan, and many of the musicians who shaped modern music. But this conversation isn't really about rock and roll. It's about purpose. Leo shares remarkable stories from inside music history, the lessons he learned from creative geniuses, how one decision at 15 years old altered the course of his life, and why losing his son ultimately led him toward a mission that's impacting children around the world. This is a conversation about legacy, generosity, faith, and living the magic of every moment. Show Partners: Get your MENTAL FITNESS BLUEPRINT here!

Episode 630: Another moment of the Red Sox season that feels like rock bottom comes at the hands of the Colorado Rockies. The Red Sox dropped two of three in Colorado in a series that felt like Boston could have swept. The guys try to digest the disappointing series and discuss just how bad this season has been. They also break down Jarren Duran's ongoing struggles and react to Craig Breslow's latest ridiculous comments about potentially not selling at the trade deadline. One of the most frustrating parts of this season has been wasting a really strong Red Sox pitching staff. Jake Bennett's potential emergence adds even more speculation around possible trades, so the 10 talks about which players they're attached to and who they could realistically see moved. We also get an update on the POTY race, hear about Tyler's first job, and mentally prepare for a tough four-game series against the Yankees — where history tells us there's usually some news. 00:00:00 - This Team Sucks. 00:07:29 - Chapman Pitching Hurt. 00:11:19 - The Jarren Duran Situation. 00:22:10 - Rock Bottom? 00:24:55 - Sell, Sell, Sell. 00:34:21 - Wasting This Pitching Staff is a Crime. 00:39:43 - The Craig Breslow Quotes 00:42:22 - Just a Baseball? 00:52:24 - Jared's Nomar Auto & Brian Wilson, Starting 9 Alumni. 00:58:21 - Laugh or Cry? 01:02:14 - Who are We Attached To on This Team? 01:06:22 - Wilyer Abreu's Extremely Confusing Splits 01:11:05 - Is Jared's House Burning Down? 01:12:23 - POTY Race Update 01:14:21 - Taikus 01:15:02 - Shoutout To Our Pals at Baseball Lifestyle 101 01:20:55 - Tyler's First Job. 01:25:55 - Unreal, Thank You Delta. 01:27:56 - What Makes Seasons Like This Even Worse 01:50:31 - Prepare For News This Weekend 01:59:02 - Will Sonny Gray be Traded? 02:00:56 - Would You Trade Wilyer Abreu? + 62-100 02:06:41 - 1/10 Odds? 02:14:00 - MLB Draft Coming Soon 02:26:39 - Stop and Shop 02:33:21 - Weather Lookahead 02:35:50 - Prediction Time 02:39:43 - Final Thoughts SECTION 10 MERCH IS HERE: https://section10merch.com/ Trade $20 Get $20 on Kalshi - https://app.kalshi.com/1r91/Section10 Sign Up For Our Patreon for more Section 10 Content! https://www.patreon.com/cw/section10podcast Get Blue Moon Non-Alcoholic Belgian White Belgian-Style Wheat Brew delivered by visiting http://get.bluemoonbeer.com/JARED for delivery options Find out why Nutrafol is the best-selling hair growth supplement brand.

Today's guest is one of the most recognizable faces of her generation — an actor whose voice you'd know in a single frame. But her real story isn't the one you've watched. It's the one she kept secret: for 20 years she's been a songwriter, and barely anyone — even people who know her — knew it.This is one of the more honest conversations we've had about being underestimated — as an actor who "couldn't" really be a musician, and as a woman the industry assumed didn't write her own songs — and about what it costs to keep making things purely because you love them.And The Writer Is...

Al Jardine is perhaps one of few artists who can say they helped create an entirely new sound that changed popular music forever.In this warm and revealing conversation, the founding member of The Beach Boys looks back on the extraordinary journey that took a group of California teenagers from local surf culture to global music immortality. As Al prepares to tour Australia celebrating the 60th anniversary of the landmark album Pet Sounds, he shares deeply personal memories of growing up alongside Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson and Dennis Wilson. Long before worldwide fame, Al and Brian were football teammates and college friends with a shared love of music, particularly folk, doo-wop and intricate vocal harmonies. Al reveals that the original musical vision for the band wasn't surf music at all. But Dennis Wilson's passion for surfing changed everything. What followed was one of the most remarkable runs in music history. From “Surfin' USA” and “California Girls” to “Good Vibrations,” and “Help Me Rhonda,” The Beach Boys became synonymous with youth, freedom and the California dream. It was Brian Wilson's musical genius that sat at the centre of it all. According to Al, Brian could hear complete arrangements in his head, using the band members as instruments to bring his musical ideas to life. The conversation also explores the personal sacrifices and difficult decisions that shaped Al's life. Al speaks fondly about songs that remain central to every live show, including “God Only Knows,” “Sloop John B” and “Good Vibrations.” He also shares how his son Matt Jardine now performs alongside him, helping recreate the famously difficult Beach Boys harmonies for modern audiences. There are emotional moments too, particularly when discussing Brian Wilson's legacy and passing. Al describes Brian simply as “pure genius,” reflecting on the creative obsession that drove him to constantly compose, arrange and innovate. He credits Brian with pushing the boundaries of pop music while still creating songs filled with emotion and soul. Despite decades of touring, Al remains energised by performing live. He says younger generations are increasingly discovering The Beach Boys' music, proving these songs continue to resonate far beyond the era in which they were created. He also continues writing new material himself, drawing inspiration from his lifelong love of folk music and unfinished songs still waiting to be completed. This interview is not only a celebration of The Beach Boys' extraordinary catalogue, but also a tribute to friendship, creativity and the enduring power of timeless music. More than sixty years after those first harmonies were sung, Al Jardine remains deeply connected to the songs — and the spirit — that helped define generations. Join Sandy Kaye for a fascinating and deeply personal conversation with Al Jardine — founding member of The Beach Boys and one of the voices behind some of the most beloved songs in music history. In this episode, Al discusses:How The Beach Boys originally planned to become a folk music groupDennis Wilson's role in introducing surfing culture into the band's musicThe creation of classics Brian Wilson's extraordinary musical genius and perfectionismThe emotional legacy of Pet Sounds and Brian Wilson's later workTouring Australia with the Pet Sounds BandNew songs and unreleased material Al is still working on today This episode is packed with warmth, humour, nostalgia and incredible behind-the-scenes stories from one of the architects of the California sound.This is a warm, funny and emotional interview with one of rock music's true legends — packed with incredible stories and insights from the soundtrack of our lives.

Smile was regarded as music's most notorious unfinished album
We dedicate this episode to the memory of America's premier pop musician/composer, Brian Wilson. He made us all smile.We spend most of the episode fawning over the album, but...at the same time, why wouldn't you?Originally recorded June 22, 2025.
WELCOME TO ATHCASTMUSIC: THE MUSIC OF ATHENS GA, NOW AND THEN. Quentin Love, is an up-and-coming musician based in the Athens, Georgia. He describes himself as a “songwriter and musician. I play everything on my records and produce them myself.” He maintains he doesn't have a select style of music. “However, if you have heard Quention, which you should, he definitely has some vintage Californian music. I definitely caught wind of Brian Wilson in many of his songs.This is Quentin's first podcast, and he talks about why he records by himself, where he started his life on this planet and what's in the future There are a total of 7 previous released EP's and albums, with his 8th and newest called “Music Box.” Here is me with this rising Athens Musician, Quentin Love.Listening to Quentin continuously reminds me of the young and talented musicians and bands we have here in Athens. I repeat myself many times, it must be over 200 when all is said and done. Quentin is truly remarkable in his abilities to work on these albums himself and how good they sound. A lot of musicians will still record on four track cassette. It's crazy but it's true. I have Quentin's contact and some other info about him in my liner notes. Now to the heavy part…..Today is the end of season 5 of AthCastMusic. I always take a sabbatical of 3-4 months after each season. Usually that time allows me to rest, put together guests for the next season and decide on how I'd like my podcast to continue. But I have more to think about today. Today is the last time at Tweed Recording and working with Kayla Dover, my engineer from day 1. Kayla and I fit together like peanut butter and jelly! But Kayla's work just gets better and better and she has to focus on the unbelievable things going on at Tweed Recording. I cannot thank Andrew Ratcliffe enough for giving me this incredible space to record in and Kayla jumping in as my engineer with a vengeance. I will miss working with her!What this means is, I have to reevaluate whether I move forward with some of the ideas I've already had, change the format of the podcast or just say “I did it!” and engage in more activities and people in my life. I've decided to put some feelers out there and gather some thoughts and then look deep into my heart and decide if I should continue. Make no mistake about it though, I LOVE this baby of mine called AthCastMusic and the decisions are difficult no matter which way I go. Until then, this is Marlene Sokol Stewart, and this is my Podcast, AthCastMusic..BUT REMEMBER ...IF YOU DON'T LISTEN, YOU CAN'T HEAR!AthCastMusic (©): The Music of Athens Georgia, Now and ThenSEASON:5 EPISODE: 60LENGTH: 46:30PUBLISHED: THURSDAY, MAY 28UPDATED BI - WEEKLY ON THURSDAYSENGINEER: KAYLA DOVERRECORDED AT TWEED RECORDING AUDIO PRODUCTION SCHOOLPHOTOS BY: MARLENE SOKOL - STEWART & KAYLA DOVERPRODUCER: MARLENE SOKOL STEWARTCONTACT FOR ATHCASTMUSIC:EMAIL: marlene@athcastmusic.comINSTAGRAM: AthCastMusicFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61550294283019TO CONTACGT QUENTIN LOVE: https://quentinlove.bandcamp.comIG: QUENTIN_LOVE516

Das 6. Album «Look for Your Mind!» ist pure vibes. Die D'Addario-Brüder nannten ihren Sound kürzlich spasseshalber «Mersey Beach» - eine Zusammenführung des Anfang der 60er-Jahre in Liverpool populär gewordenen «Mersey Beat» und dem von den Beach Boys geprägten «California Sound» aus der selben Epoche. Mit dem neusten Werk haben The Lemon Twigs ihre «Erfindung» sozusagen vollendet: Eingängig, verspielt und ansteckend - und nicht im geringsten verstaubt.
