Recorded only two days before the great man's passing, this audiobook-style episode is a Brian Wilson diary that covers the 27 sessions it took to accomplish one of his great works, a span of six months that kicks off at the moment in December 1965 when he first heard The Beatles' Rubber Soul and vowed to make the greatest rock record of all time, to Pet Sounds' release in May 1966. I'm joined by the world's foremost Petsoundsologist Chuck Granata, author of the incredible book Wouldn't It Be Nice: Brian Wilson And The Making Of The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds. This episode features a critical cameo by the great Fred Vail.Here's just a few of the many things that Chuck discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:The Pickwick Bookstore acid flashback that inadvertently provided the initial inspiration for Pet Sounds;The unlikely figure who first introduced Van Dyke Parks to Brian Wilson;The only song on the record that features The Beach Boys playing instruments;The record company's real motivation for releasing “Sloop John B” as a single;How Brian countered record company disinterest in a classic meeting held at Capital HQ;The importance of Bruce Johnston's UK Pet Sounds unveiling;And a beautiful cameo by Fred Vail describing the atmosphere at the mastering session, which was only attended by Fred and Brian's wife Marilyn.There'll be a short sneak peak running publicly for free, but the entirety of this podcast will only be accessible on the Major Tier of Discograffiti's Patreon.

Love and Mercy A film by Bill Pohlad Love and Mercy (2014) is a film that shows how the sausage is made, in terms of both the music and the man. We get to see Brian Wilson's Kubrick-like devotion to getting Pet Sounds exactly like he wants it, as well as his becoming a whole person through the force of his future wife. The film is a nightmare version of Peter Pan, examining a boy who won't grow up until he finds the two things mentioned in the title. We all know from history that he does, but the film still keeps us in suspense over whether or not Wilson will make it out of a prison he has unwittingly helped to create. Brian Wilson's 2017 memoir, I Am Brian Wilson, is a perfect companion piece to Love and Mercy. Incredible bumper music by John Deley.

Mit "Pet Sounds" wollten The Beach Boys rund um Brian Wilson das größte Rockalbum aller Zeiten schaffen. Bis heute gilt es als wegweisender Meilenstein der Musikgeschichte. "Pet Sounds" erschien am 16. Mai 1966 als elftes Studioalbum der Beach Boys. Die kalifornische Band bestand aus den Brüdern Brian, Dennis und Carl Wilson, ihrem Cousin Mike Love und dem Schulfreund Alan Jardine. Mit "Pet Sounds" entfernten sie sich von ihrem sommerlichen Surfsound und wandten sich vielschichtigen, komplexen Kompositionen mit lyrischer Tiefe zu. Während der Produktion des Albums war ein Großteil der Beach Boys eigentlich gar nicht dabei. Die Band tourte gerade durch Japan. Nur Brian Wilson, der kreative Kopf der Gruppe, blieb zurück in Kalifornien, um sein Ziel zu erreichen, das beste Rockalbum aller Zeiten zu komponieren. Dabei orientierte er sich am Album "Rubber Soul" von den Beatles, das ein Jahr zuvor erschienen war. Brian Wilson war ein großer Fan des amerikanischen Produzenten Phil Spector, der für die Komposition dichter und orchestraler Klangflächen bekannt wurde, der sogenannten "Wall Of Sound". Spector war unter anderem am Song "Be My Baby" aus dem Jahr 1963 von den Ronettes beteiligt. Wilson bezeichnete das Lied als das beste Popstück, das je geschrieben wurde. Tief beeindruckt von Spectors Arbeit, wollte Wilson ihn jedoch nicht einfach nachahmen. Sein Anspruch war, ihn zu übertreffen. Neben der neuartigen Kompositionsweise finden sich auf "Pet Sounds" viele interessante Instrumente, oder eher Alltagsgegenstände, die zu Instrumenten umfunktioniert wurden. Im gleichnamigen Titelsong "Pet Sounds" spielte der Schlagzeuger die Percussions am Anfang mit zwei leeren Cola-Dosen ein. In "You Still Belive In Me" kommt eine Fahrradhupe zum Einsatz. An anderen Stellen klingen Löffel als Rhythmusinstrumente mit und der letzte Song des Albums, "Caroline, No", endet mit Hundegebell und einem vorbeifahrenden Zug. "Pet Sounds" ist ein einzigartiges Album, das die Musikwelt bis heute prägt. Bei seiner Veröffentlichung blieb der große Erfolg jedoch zunächst aus. Es schien, als hätte Brian Wilson sein Ziel, das größte Rockalbum aller Zeiten zu schreiben, verfehlt. Die Enttäuschung traf den Musiker damals tief. __________ Über diese Songs vom Album "Pet Sounds" wird Podcast gesprochen (22:43) – "Wouldn't It Be Nice"(36:25) – "Pet Sounds"(39:26) – "You Still Believe In Me"(40:07) – "Caroline, No"(45:53) – "Sloop John B"(51:37) – "God Only Knows"(01:02:31) – "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times" __________ Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zur Folge: linkhttps://1.ard.de/the-beach-boys-pet-sounds __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

Ben and Rob wade into the beautiful mind of Brian Wilson's mind waters with ‘Love & Mercy' the biopic that, much like the man, is split right in two. With Paul Dano as the young Brian Wilson crafting Pet Sounds and battling hallucinations, and John Cusack as the older Brian Wilson trapped under the thumb of a manipulative therapist, ‘Love & Mercy' captures the genius of Brian Wilson, the dysfunction within The Beach Boys, and the line between inspiration and illness.But why is Ben so deeply emotionally attached to Brian Wilson? Is Paul Dano secretly becoming what Gary Oldman once was? Why was it so hard to be a sober Beach Boy? And with Brian Wilson sadly passing away this week, are we objectively in a worse world, or is there hope?CONSUUUME to find out all this and much MUCH more!PLUS!

Clint Lanier and David McArthur discuss the phenomenal album Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys, re-released in honor of the passing of Brian Wilson.

Welcome to Season 3 of “The Beach Boys: And Your Dreams Come True!” This season focuses solely on Pet Sounds, and stands as the most in-depth investigation of a single record ever enacted in Discograffiti history.  The Beach Boys' 11th LP changed a lot of lives, not least of which the man who brought his effortlessly breezy pop charm to The Hollies, Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young, and his own solo career.  In fact, this episode stands as the launching point of a huge Graham Nash series—his longest interview of all time—which will air concurrently with this unprecedented Pet Sounds showcase.Here's just a few of the many things that Graham discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:Why Graham's journey to achieve greatness may have begun with The Hollies' terrible attempt at “Marrakesh Express”;A peek into Crosby, Stills, & Nash's formation;The incredible method The Hollies used to test out their final mixes (Director's Cut only);The frustrating story behind the lost CSN album Human Highway (Director's Cut only);Why it was felt that the chaos-evoking Neil Young was an essential ad to the group (Director's Cut only);Whether Graham is ultimately a Beach Boys fan or a Brian Wilson fan;The songs in which Graham felt he came closest to the vulnerable intimacy of Pet Sounds;And how important LSD was to the person that Graham became. Listen: linktr.ee/discograffitiI support a wife and a six-year-old son with Discograffiti as my sole source of income. If you're a Beach Boys or Graham Nash superfan like me, The Director's Cut of this episode is ad-free and features 14 additional minutes of essential material. Purchase The Director's Cut as a one-off at Patreon.com/Discograffiti.Subscribe to Discograffiti's Patreon at the Major Tier and receive a ceaseless barrage (4 shows a week) of must-hear binge-listening: Patreon.com/DiscograffitiCONNECTJoin our Soldiers of Sound Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1839109176272153Patreon: www.Patreon.com/DiscograffitiPodfollow: ⁠⁠https://podfollow.com/1592182331⁠⁠YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClyaQCdvDelj5EiKj6IRLhwInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/discograffitipod/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Discograffiti/Twitter: https://twitter.com/DiscograffitiOrder the Digital version of the METAL MACHINE MUZAK 2xLP (feat.

Enjoy our discussion of The Beach Boys' "Pet Sounds"RIP Brian Wilson

传奇合唱组合 The Beach Boys 的建队成员、著名音乐人 Brian Wilson 于 2025 年 6 月 11 日在加州家中安详离世，享年 82 岁。Brian Wilson 1942 年 6 月 20 日出生于洛杉矶，自幼展露音乐天赋，1961 年，他与兄弟 Dennis 和 Carl、表兄 Mike Love 以及好友 Al Jardine 组建了 The Beach Boys 乐队。Brian Wilson 是 The Beach Boys 的首席词曲作者，为乐队创作了《Surfin' U.S.A.》《Good Vibrations》《California Girls》等众多经典歌曲，其 1966 年推出的专辑《Pet Sounds》更被视为流行音乐史上的里程碑之作，大量运用古典乐器，他帮助将流行音乐带到了 “艺术” 的水平，其音乐作品不仅具有丰富的和声和编曲，还融入了个人的情感表达，对后来的音乐人和乐队产生了深远影响。

On today's bonus, we pay tribute to two music giants that passed away in the same week at the same age. We get into Sly Stone and the excellent playlist that Julius made to pay tribute to the wonderful music of Sly and the Family Stone. From there we discuss the impact of Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys on us and the music industry as a whole. We'll compare and contrast how their careers ended up and their relationships with the bands they lead. Before we leave we catch up on a couple of notable rap tracks that came out since our last recording.Julius's Sly Stone Playlist: Spotify - Apple Music - YouTubeCraig Jenkins' article on Sly Stone and Brian WilsonSend us a text message!You can follow us here: Instagram Twitter Tiktok Send us a message, we'd love to hear from you!

On this week's show, we celebrate Pride Month with the LGBTQ+ icons of queer country & new wave, and pour one out for legends Sly Stone and Brian Wilson as well as the sorely underrated Jill Sobule. All this & much, much less! Debts No Honest Man Can Pay is a podcast that thinks it's a radio show...because it used to be one. The show started in 2003 at WHFR-FM (Dearborn, MI), moved to WGWG-FM (Boiling Springs, NC) in 2006 & Plaza Midwood Community Radio (Charlotte, NC) in 2012, with a brief pit-stop at WLFM-FM (Appleton, WI) in 2004. It phoenixed into a podcast in 2020, thanks to the fine and fabulously furious folks at NRM Streamcast. 

Note: Due to some trouble on the back end, Spotify's only letting us upload the audio version of this show.We're working our way through some of the critics' greatest albums of all time - well, those we've never listened to before, anyway.

Greatest bands ever? Or just thank you for your service? We figure it out.

Hosts Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot pay tribute to the late musical genius Brian Wilson, who died at age 82.

Ο Μπράιαν Γουίλσον, συνιδρυτής των Beach Boys και αρχιτέκτονας του «Καλιφορνέζικου ήχου», έφυγε από τη ζωή την περασμένη Τετάρτη, σε ηλικία 82 ετών. Γνωστός για την επιτυχία του Pet Sounds και το συναισθηματικό του βάθος, ο Γουίλσον αφήνει πίσω του μια διαρκή κληρονομιά, παρά τη ζωή του που σημαδεύτηκε από προσωπικές δυσκολίες.

Send us a textIn this episode, we dive into the minds of two of music's most brilliant and enigmatic figures: Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys and Sly Stone of Sly and the Family Stone. Both transformed the soundscape of American music—Wilson with lush harmonies and symphonic surf-pop, and Stone with electrifying funk that fused soul, rock, and revolution. But behind the genius were turbulent lives marked by isolation, experimentation, and struggle.We explore:Brian Wilson's sonic innovation on Pet Sounds and his battle with mental illnessSly Stone's creation of a multicultural, genre-defying sound—and his descent into reclusionThe cultural forces that shaped and challenged themHow their legacies continue to influence artists across generationsWhether you're a fan of layered harmonies or deep grooves, this episode honors the brilliance and the burdens of two towering icons.

Ben and Rob wade into the beautiful mind of Beach Boy Brian Wilson's mind waters with ‘Love & Mercy' the biopic that, much like the man, is split right in two. With Paul Dano as the young Brian Wilson crafting Pet Sounds and battling hallucinations, and John Cusack as the older Brian Wilson trapped under the thumb of a manipulative therapist, ‘Love & Mercy' captures the genius of Brian Wilson, the dysfunction within The Beach Boys, and the line between inspiration and illness.But why is Ben so deeply emotionally attached to Brian Wilson? Is Paul Dano secretly becoming what Gary Oldman once was? Why was it so hard to be sober in The Beach Boys?

A look at the legancy and influence of Pet Sounds by Brian Wilson. This seminal Beach Boys recording changed music. We explore it...

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall.*Inniu an 14ú lá de mhí an Mheithimh. Is mise Niall Ó Cuileagáin.Sheol Uachtarán na Stát Aontaithe Donald Trump comhaltaí de Gharda Náisiúnta agus de mhuirshaighdiúirí na tíre go Los Angeles an tseachtain seo chun dul i ngleic leis na hagóidí sa chathair. Dúirt Gobharnóir an Stáit, Gavin Newsom, go raibh ordú Trump mídhleathach agus gur chruthaigh sé níos mó fadhbanna sa chathair. Caitheadh buidéil agus clocha le póilíní, cuireadh cairr trí thine, agus scaoil na póilíní piléir rubair leis an slua. Thosnaigh an clampar mar fhrithghníomhnú in aghaidh nan-oifigeach inimirce atá ag déanamh ruathar ar inimircigh nach bhfuil na cáipéisí cuí acu. De réir Newsom, bhí Trump ag iarraidh géarchéim a chruthú lena ordú agus nach raibh an t-údarás aige an Garda Náisiúnta a sheoladh go dtí an Stát. Gheall sé godtabharfadh sé cás in éadan an Uachtaráin. Tá ordú cuirfiú i bhfeidhm sa chathair anois thar oíche.Ghabh forsaí míleata Iosrael seilbh ar ghníomhaithe ar son na Palaistíne agus a luamh an ‘Madleen' amach ó chósta Gaza maidin Dé Luain. Bhí na gníomhaithe ag iarraidh soláthairtí bia agus leighis a thabhairt go dtí an Stráice agus aird an domhaina tharraingt ar an ngorta atá ar siúl ansan fé láthair. Bhí an gníomhaí aeráide Greta Thunberg ar an mbád, mar aon leis an bhFeisire de Pharlaimint na hEorpa, Rima Hassan. Ghabh na forsaí míleata seilbh ar an long in uiscí idirnáisiúnta, rud a cháinAmnesty International go géar agus iad ag rá gur scrios forsaí Iosrael an dlí idirnáisiúnta. Dúirt an Tánaiste Simon Harris gur ábhar náireach é agus go raibh an domhan iomlán ag thabhairt neamhaird ar an ngéarchéim dhaonnúil in Gaza. Díbríodh Thunberg agus trí ghníomhaí eile thar n-ais chuig a dtíortha dúchais Dé Máirt; tá na gníomhaithe eile ag cur in aghaidh na n-orduithe díbeartha. Tá an t-amhránaí agus cumadóir amhrán mór le rá Brian Wilson ar shlí na fírinne. Bhí sé ar dhuine de bhunaitheoirí an bhanna ceoil, The Beach Boys, sna seascaidí agus bhí sé ina cheann feadhna ar an ngrúpa ó thaobh an cheoil de. Bhain The BeachBoys cáil amach mar gheall ar a bhfoinn bhinne agus an nasc idir a gceol agus an cultúr surfála, rud atá le clos sna hamhráin ar nós “Surfin' USA', “Surfin' Safari” agus “Surfer Girl”. Is é an t-albam “Pet Sounds” an ceirnín a bhfuil an cháil is mó air, agus,de réir go leor daoine, is é an t-albam is fearr a taifeadadh riamh. D'fhulaing Wilson le fabhanna meabhairshláinte le linn a shaoil, agus de réir a chomhpháirtithe sa ghrúpa, mhéadaigh a úsáid drugaí, go háirithe LSD, a chuid fabhanna. Bhí blianta corracha aige sna seachtóidí agus sna hochtaidí, ach tháinig feabhas ar a shaol arís nuair a phós sé Melinda Ledbetter in 1995 agus chuaigh sé thar n-ais ar camchúirt.

We go live album vs live album. "Our Live Album Is Better Than Your Live Album" by Reel Big Fish and "Live at the Key Club" by Pennywise. Enjoy!we're talking Pet Sounds next week!!!

Really saddened by the death of Brian Wilson. I will post a podcast based on an interview we did. In the meantime, here is Mike Love - falsely claiming since Brian died, that he himself "co-created all The Beach Boys music" - and who was not a particularly pleasant guy when I interviewed him in 1989. Judge for yourself. 'Love' is a funny surname in this context!

From the vaults: Reporter Peter Gilstrap lives every audiophile's dream — chatting with Brian Wilson about the goats from the “Pet Sounds” album cover.

Brian Wilson was the Beach Boys co-founder and architect of the California sound, Famed for Pet Sounds and his emotional depth, he leaves a lasting legacy despite a life marked by personal struggles.

Brian Wilson, whose death at the age of 82 was announced last evening, was one of the most remarkable songwriters of the 20th century. The genius behind the Beach Boys was behind revolutionary, groundbreaking pop music including the album, Pet Sounds, regarded as one of the greatest LPs of all time. In the early 1960s, Connie Turner from Tralee was in LA, enjoying life in Santa Monica and Malibu. And what was Connie listening to? Of course, the Beach Boys! He shares his memories with Jerry.

«Le Conseil présidentiel est-il dysfonctionnel ?», s'interroge Le Nouvelliste. Le CPT n'a tenu que que «deux conseils des ministres en trois mois». Ses membres semblent avoir du mal à travailler ensemble. Dans les colonnes du quotidien haïtien, l'un d'entre eux, Smith Augustin, met en cause le leader du Conseil présidentiel de transition, Fritz Alphonse Jean. «Il n'est pas très aimé de ses collègues. Il n'y a pas de collaboration», explique Frantz Duval, rédacteur en chef du Nouvelliste, qui ajoute que les relations au sein du Conseil ont toujours été compliquées. «Depuis le début, il y a des blocs au sein du Conseil et des tiraillements et des dissensions entre eux.» Les membres du CPT ne tiennent pas de conseils des ministres, mais ils voyagent beaucoup ces derniers temps, relève Le Nouvelliste. Des voyages auxquels n'est pourtant pas associé le ministère des Affaires étrangères. «Chacun voyage avec son cabinet et ses conseillers, mais personne du ministère», s'étonne Frantz Duval qui estime que «la diplomatie haïtienne navigue à vue». Le président du Conseil présidentiel de transition est ainsi au Brésil. Il prendra part demain à un sommet de la Caricom consacré à la situation en Haïti, organisé à l'initiative du président Lula. Les Haïtiens «espèrent beaucoup mais attendent peu», commente Frantz Duval pour qui aucune décision forte ne sera prise à Brasilia. «La communauté internationale hésite depuis des années et n'est pas prête à s'impliquer réellement» pour résoudre la crise qui secoue le pays.   Donald Trump «politise» l'armée Aux États-Unis, après Los Angeles, Donald Trump pourrait envoyer l'armée dans d'autres villes du pays en cas de manifestations contre sa politique migratoire. «La Maison Blanche de Trump ouvre la porte à un déploiement militaire historique sur le sol américain», titre du Washington Post qui souligne que Donald Trump a durci le ton envers tous les manifestants, même ceux qui protestent pacifiquement. Un langage comparable à celui «utilisé par les autocrates dans des pays étrangers», écrit le quotidien. Intervenir lors de manifestations, mais aussi protéger la frontière avec le Mexique, ce n'est pas vraiment le rôle de l'armée. En demandant à des «militaires entraînés pour se battre à l'étranger de jouer le rôle traditionnellement dévolu à la police locale et à la police aux frontières», Donald Trump teste «les limites légales et politiques», analyse le New York Times. Dans les colonnes du New York Times, des analystes et des militaires à la retraite estiment que le but de Donald Trump, c'est en réalité que les Américains s'habituent à voir des soldats dans les rues, ce qui lui permettrait ensuite d'utiliser «ses pouvoirs de commandant en chef de manière plus agressive pour réprimer tout trouble et toute dissidence». Les détracteurs du président américain s'inquiètent de cette dérive «vers la politisation des forces armées et un autoritarisme rampant». Cette décision d'envoyer l'armée à Los Angeles divise en tout cas les Américains qu'Edward Maille a rencontrés en Géorgie.

The discussion covered the passing of Brian Wilson, who was 83, and the impact of his album "Pet Sounds," which Rolling Stone ranked second best of all time. The conversation also touched on the Beach Boys' success, with their only No. 1 hit post-1966 being "Kokomo" in 1988. The team discussed various sports updates, including the Red Sox's win over the Rays, the Yankees' victory over the Royals, and the NBA Finals. They also highlighted the upcoming Family Fun Day at Masonicare, with Rev. Carl Anderson, Vice President of Fraternal Relations for Masonicare. Masonicare is the state's largest nonprofit provider of senior care. The event will featuring carnival games, health screenings, and a parade. The event aims to provide information about their care services. Brian also discussed various local and national issues. In New Haven, protests against the Trump administration's immigration policies were held, with Mayor Justin Elliker criticizing the arrest of a mother in front of her children. President Trump's approval rating dropped to 38% in a Quinnipiac University poll, with 53% opposing his budget bill. Connecticut's new housing bill, criticized for its complexity and potential impact on local zoning, is under review by Governor Lamont. A pedestrian was seriously injured in Vernon, and an Air India plane crashed in India, potentially with survivors. Ken Gosselin, Courant reporter, called in to talk about all of the state issues including the housing problem in the capital city.

pWotD Episode 2962: Brian Wilson Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 790,872 views on Wednesday, 11 June 2025 our article of the day is Brian Wilson.Brian Douglas Wilson (June 20, 1942 – c. June 11, 2025) was an American musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer who co-founded the Beach Boys. Often called a genius for his novel approaches to pop composition and mastery of recording techniques, he is widely acknowledged as one of the most innovative and significant songwriters of the 20th century. His best-known work is distinguished for its high production values, complex harmonies and orchestrations, vocal layering, and introspective or ingenuous themes. Wilson was also known for his versatile vocal range. He faced lifelong struggles with mental illness. Wilson's formative influences included George Gershwin, the Four Freshmen, Phil Spector, and Burt Bacharach. In 1961, he began his professional career as a member of the Beach Boys, serving as the band's songwriter, producer, co-lead vocalist, bassist, keyboardist, and de facto leader. After signing with Capitol Records in 1962, he became the first pop musician credited for writing, arranging, producing, and performing his own material. He also produced acts such as the Honeys and American Spring. By the mid-1960s he had written or co-written more than two dozen U. S. Top 40 hits, including the number-ones "Surf City" (1963), "I Get Around" (1964), "Help Me, Rhonda" (1965), and "Good Vibrations" (1966). He is considered among the first music producer auteurs and the first rock producers to apply the studio as an instrument.In 1964, Wilson had a nervous breakdown and resigned from regular concert touring to focus on songwriting and production. This led to works such as the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds and his first credited solo release, "Caroline, No" (both 1966), as well as the unfinished album Smile. By the late 1960s, his productivity and mental health had significantly declined, leading to periods marked by reclusion, overeating, and substance abuse. His first professional comeback yielded the almost solo effort The Beach Boys Love You (1977). In the 1980s, he formed a controversial creative and business partnership with his psychologist, Eugene Landy, and relaunched his solo career with the self-titled album Brian Wilson (1988). Wilson disassociated from Landy in 1991 and toured regularly as a solo artist from 1999 to 2022.Heralding popular music's recognition as an art form, Wilson's accomplishments as a producer helped initiate an era of unprecedented creative autonomy for label-signed acts. He is regarded as an important figure to many music genres and movements, including the California sound, art pop, psychedelia, chamber pop, progressive music, punk, outsider, and sunshine pop. Since the 1980s, his influence has extended to styles such as post-punk, indie rock, emo, dream pop, Shibuya-kei, and chillwave. He received numerous industry awards including two Grammy Awards and Kennedy Center Honors as well as nominations for a Golden Globe Award and Primetime Emmy Award. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988 and the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2000. His life and career were dramatised in the 2014 biopic Love and Mercy.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 03:15 UTC on Thursday, 12 June 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Brian Wilson on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Ayanda.

On July 2, 1942, Brian Wilson — the visionary force behind The Beach Boys and one of the most influential figures in American music — was born in Hawthorne, California. With groundbreaking albums like Pet Sounds and lush, intricate harmonies that defined the California sound, Wilson's genius reshaped pop music, even as he faced lifelong battles with mental illness and substance abuse. His turbulent journey through fame, isolation, and eventual resurgence is as haunting as it is inspiring, with his timeless melodies standing as a testament to both his brilliance and resilience.

In this episode of My Rock Moment, we're diving deep into one of rock and roll's most legendary what-could-have-beens… and what-finally-was. Back in 1966, fresh off the groundbreaking success of Pet Sounds, Brian Wilson set out to create his magnum opus: Smile. With poet and lyricist Van Dyke Parks at his side, the project promised to be a revolutionary leap forward—a kaleidoscopic, avant-garde album that would redefine what pop music could be. But as recording progressed, the pressure from within the band, the label, and Brian's own mental health struggles led to the album's unraveling. The sessions were shelved, and Smile became one of music history's greatest mysteries—a “lost” album that haunted fans, scholars, and Brian himself for decades. That is, until the early 2000s, when Smile finally got its moment in the sun. Reimagined and completed by Brian Wilson and Van Dyke Parks nearly 40 years later, the album was not only resurrected—it was performed live, recorded, and finally released, closing the loop on one of rock's most mythical stories. Joining us to unpack it all is David Leaf—acclaimed writer, director, producer, and longtime friend of Brian Wilson. David has chronicled Brian's life and legacy for decades, and in his new book, SMiLE: The Rise, Fall and Resurrection of Brian Wilson, he brings fresh insight into Smile's rise, fall, and miraculous comeback.
