Podcasts about Pet Sounds

Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives.  In this episode, the next entry in The Chuck Granata Pet Sounds Interview Series, Discograffiti presents Part 3 of Chuck's chat with Tony Asher, Brian Wilson's lyrical collaborator on Pet Sounds. This is easily the best, most honest and unguarded Tony Asher interview in existence. Huge thank you to Chuck.      Here's just a few of the many things that Tony discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:   The tantalizing pitch to rewrite some Beach Boys lyrics that Tony wound up turning down (Director's Cut only); How his work writing jingles for Mattel toys dovetailed creatively into his experience working with Brian (Director's Cut only); Granular details of his very first hang with Brian; The grand total of Beach Boys LPs that Tony Asher owns; His opinion of pre-Pet Sounds Beach Boys lyrics; And details surrounding the wild Loren Schwartz parties which the two men both attended.   Listen: linktr.ee/discograffiti   I support a wife and a six-year-old son with Discograffiti as my sole source of income.    The Director's Cut of this episode is ad-free and features 14 additional minutes of essential material.

Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives.  In this episode, Beach Boys author Chuck Granata reviews and discusses Pet Sounds' “I Just Wasn't Made For These Times” and “Pet Sounds” with commentary and stories. Discograffiti's Pet Sounds Deep-Dive Series stands as a unique combination of factual obsession and personal connection, and there's nothing else quite like it.  Here are just a few of the many things that Chuck discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: Dave Gebroe's 2 favorite songs of all time; The use of the Electro-Theremin in “I Just Wasn't Made For These Times,” which stands as its first usage in a pop/rock record ever; Tony Asher's inability to personally connect with the lyrics to “I Just Wasn't Made”; The spiritual successor to the song that Brian created and recorded with Andy Paley in the 1990s; The true origin and first-draft title of the title track; And how both Chuck and I connect with “I I Just Wasn't Made For These Times” and Pet Sounds” in a laid-bare, explicitly personal way. Listen: linktr.ee/discograffiti I support a wife and a six-year-old son with Discograffiti as my sole source of income.  The Director's Cut of this episode is ad-free and features 19 additional minutes of essential material (which comprises the entire section on the title track).

Our guest today is the man who literally holds the keys to some of the most iconic music in history. Mark Linett is a three-time Grammy-winning producer and audio engineer, he's worked with legends like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jane's Addiction, and Randy Newman. But you know him best as the sonic architect for The Beach Boys' incredible catalog—the one who gave us the definitive stereo mix of Pet Sounds and meticulously brought The Smile Sessions to life.  A great guest all around.   We also dive into what scared us when we were young, kinks, and play a game where Mike must decide if he has the same brain as Scott's 5 year old.  Have a listen!

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 Larry Knechtel, the Wrecking Crew keyboard player and bassist who—along with Brian Wilson & The Beach Boys—has worked with Simon & Garfunkel, Duane Eddy, The Mamas & The Papas, The Monkees, The Doors, The Byrds, The Grass Roots, Elvis Presley, Jerry Garcia, and Billy Joel. He also was a key member of the band Bread. Larry passed away a few years later in 2009, which makes this posthumously released “Chuck Chat” yet another priceless buried treasure.   Here are just a few of the many things that Larry discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: What he ascertained early on as a studio musician's average career length, which then led to a healthy fear of his phone no longer ringing; His legendary work on Simon & Garfunkel's “Bridge Over Troubled Water”; Besides Brian, the only Beach Boy he says his fellow studio musicians ever saw in the studio along with them; The curse of having perfect pitch; And his friendship with Jim Gordon…not to mention the fate of the 50+ hours of jam tapes that he recorded with him, which included spoken ruminations on what was bugging Jim at the time.  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. Don't miss it, or you'll only be getting part of the story. Get it as a one-off, or better yet just subscribe…and then we'll all have world peace.

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.

The next entry in The Chuck Granata Pet Sounds Interview Series is Chuck's chat with French horn player Alan Robinson, the man whose extraordinary playing graces “God Only Knows.” It's absolutely incredible what a photographic memory Alan possesses—listening to him speak, it's as if you're sitting there right beside him, watching Brian Wilson through the control room glass. This interview is an absolute must-hear for Pet Sounds fans.At 21, Alan became the youngest contract member of the 20th Century Fox orchestra, where he played on films like The King & I, Carousel and The Sound Of Music. In the mid-1960s, he discovered that "being a busy session player was more lucrative than symphonic work,” which is how he came to be on Pet Sounds. Among his other pop credits are sessions and/or live shows with Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Neil Diamond, Earth, Wind, & Fire, The 5th Dimension, Johnny Mathis, Elton John, and Paul McCartney & Wings. 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.

Chuck Granata's book Wouldn't It Be Nice: Brian Wilson And The Making Of The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds is the ultimate dissection of Brian Wilson's 1966 masterpiece.  Chuck and I wound up diving so deep into the record, we unfortunately had to seek treatment for the bends…yet thankfully it was a risk worth taking, as Discograffiti's Pet Sounds Deep-Dive Series stands as a unique combination of factual obsession and personal connection.  Episode 4 is an examination of everything you'll ever need to know about the classic first track on Side 2 of Pet Sounds, often considered The Beach Boys' greatest song of all time: “God Only Knows.”Here's just a few of the many things that Chuck discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:The Lovin' Spoonful song that likely inspired the writing of “God Only Knows”;Notwithstanding its controversial title, the other instance of that very title being utilized in another composition a decade earlier;The compositional aspect that makes it completely unique in Brian Wilson's songwriting canon;A smattering of reactions from some of the biggest songwriting talents alive;The implications of Brian moving production over to 8-track at Columbia Studio;Brian's coaching advice to his brother Carl before his classic vocal take;And how both Chuck and I connect with “God Only Knows” in a laid-bare, explicitly personal way.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 superfan like me, The Director's Cut of this episode is ad-free and features 15 additional minutes of essential material. 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/Discograffiti⁠Or just grab The Director's Cut as a one-off at the same link.CONNECTJoin 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.

Some pet-owners are talking with their pets using augmentative interspecies communication devices — learning more about what animals want, feel and understand.

We've all seen the memes. Ice Cube and various other zoom actors were in a recent take on The War of the Worlds. It's worse than you think, etc... But what about a War of the Worlds that's BETTER than you think?? We decided to crack open one of the greatest telling of this classic tale, complete with disco, spooky sounds, and proggy composition. It's like if Pet Sounds and Tubular Bells had a really funky baby. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll hear Jon's perspective on germ theory.

By now, Beach Boy Bruce Johnston has retired from being interviewed, so this epic, unheard 2001 interview for Chuck Granata's Pet Sounds book is absolutely priceless…especially seeing as his fanboy love for Chuck's Sinatra book wound up contributing to a level of unvarnished honesty that's super-rare for The Beach Boy universe. Here's just a few of the many things that Bruce discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:“Brian's blender,” and the stew of his early influences;The differences between Brian & Phil Spector's approaches;Capitol Records' sabotage of Pet Sounds;Bruce's efforts in igniting a groundswell of interest in the UK upon Pet Sounds' release;And the difficulty of nailing the vocal parts that Brian had in mind.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.

The next entry in The Chuck Granata Pet Sounds Interview Series is Part 1 of Chuck's chat with Tony Asher, Brian Wilson's lyrical collaborator on Pet Sounds. Since I didn't conduct the interview, I can be fully honest in my assessment without fear of reprisal: this is easily the best Tony Asher interview in existence. You won't want to miss a minute of this multi-part extravaganza. The amount of insight on display is mind-blowing and thoroughly indispensable.  All I can say is: Thank you, Chuck.   Here's just a few of the many things that Tony discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:A comprehensive verbal tour of Brian and Marilyn's house on Laurel Way;How Tony knew definitively that he'd gotten far too stoned with Brian at his house one day;Tony's certainty that he'd introduced Brian to both the bass flute…AND THE THEREMIN;And Brian's singularly unique judiciousness in booking session musicians. 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.

New concepts to relocate the county's courts and jails from 201 Poplar and Shelby Farms to a new building in North Memphis was presented to Shelby County lawmakers, with an estimated cost of the 71-acre site at $1.26 billion. So far, it doesn't seem higher taxes will be the way to pay.

The next entry in The Chuck Granata Pet Sounds Interview Series is Part 1 of Chuck's chat with Brian Wilson's favorite drummer, legendary studio maestro Hal Blaine. It's not hard to understand why Brian worked with him so often: Hal claimed to have participated in over 35,000 sessions and 6,000 singles. His drumming is featured on 150 US top 10 hits, 40 of which went to number one. Chuck's interview with Hal took place while the latter was living in a retirement community, and the tone is definitely “no shits given” by this point. Hal passed away a few years later in 2019, which makes this posthumously released “Chuck Chat” yet another priceless buried treasure.  Here's just a few of the many things that Hal discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:Hal's “Strangers In The Night” session with Frank Sinatra, and the classic drum beat from which he cribbed;The early days of the session players which Hal liked to call “The Wrecking Crew”;Getting started with Phil Spector, and how Phil liked to work;Meeting Don Randi;The beautiful gesture that Brian Wilson demonstrated to his friend while Hal was in the midst of experiencing the suicidal terror of his divorce.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.

Today's episode of Rock Docs is about "Brian Wilson: Long Promised Road", a 2021 film about the late Beach Boys musical genius directed by Brent Wilson (no relation). Our guest today is Dan Koch, who previously joined us to discuss "Gimme Danger", about Iggy & the Stooges, a very dissimilar tale of brothers coming together in the 60's to create some stone-cold classics while indulging in rock & roll excess. Long Promised Road takes us for a ride, literally, with Brian and his buddy Jason Fine as Brian, late in life, revisits places from his past. We also see Brian working in the studio on a new song and enjoy a curious mix of talking heads. Check out Treble's review of Brian's masterpiece "Pet Sounds".

Who better to tackle Discograffiti's epic, multi-episode Deep-Dive into The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds—my second favorite album of all time behind only Smile—than the scholarly yet super-cool Petsoundsologist Chuck Granata, whose book Wouldn't It Be Nice: Brian Wilson And The Making Of The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds is the ultimate piece of work on the LP?  Chuck and I dived so deep we actually had to seek treatment for the bends, but as you'll hear it was worth every second.  Episode 1 is the story of the record from soup to nuts, without an examination of its specific songs…which is coming in episodes 2 through 6.Here's just a few of the many things that Chuck discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:How an unassuming advertising jingle writer named Tony Asher somehow wound up collaborating with the greatest American songwriter on the planet on what many now consider to be the greatest LP of all time;Brian's drug experimentation back in 1966, which he used to jog his creative process;The daily collaborative routine that Brian and Tony enjoyed;Whether or not Pet Sounds was intended by Brian to be an honest-to-goodness concept album (Director's Cut only);An examination of the initial rumblings of group infighting that later proved to be fundamental in toppling the band;The Beach Boys' process of learning vocals literally directly before singing them;And the long game of the record's success, which began with a comparative tanking.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 superfan like me, The Director's Cut of this episode is ad-free and features 20 additional minutes of essential material. 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/Discograffiti⁠Or just purchase The Director's Cut as a one-off at the same link.CONNECTJoin 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.

On this episode we look up to the heavens to find one of the most revolutionary albums in pop history: Pet Sounds. It's the sound of musical genius Brian Wilson stepping away from surfboards to compose symphonies, layering heartbreak, harmony and some of the most inventive production ever pressed to tape. We break down the full story: from the Wilson brothers' childhood in Hawthorne, CA to the sessions with the Wrecking Crew, from Capitol Records' doubts to Paul McCartney's obsession.Track-by-track breakdowns. Hot takes. Deep-cut trivia (surprised you didn't know that!). All the categories - Ryan's A&R guy, Matthew's headphones moment. And Mike Love gets love?Come for the Electro-Theremin, stay for the goats on the album cover.”Bam ba bam ba bam ba baaaa aaaahhh” - God Only Knows

We kick off the Chuck Granata Pet Sounds Interview Series at the very beginning…it's Chuck's conversation with one of Brian Wilson's most towering influences, Ross Barbour of The Four Freshmen!  His father Murry took Brian to see the legendary harmony group when he was 14, and he got the opportunity to meet them. The concert and that meeting had a profound effect on young Brian, who said, “My voice was shivering as I was talking to them…I was so in awe of them. It was one of the biggest moments in my life. [Their song] ‘It's a Blue World' made me cry. I learned to make four-part harmonies from the Four Freshmen.” Russ passed away back in 2011, which makes this posthumously released interview a particularly priceless buried treasure.  Here's just a few of the many things that Ross discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:The genetic uniquenesses that combine to make family harmony an inimitable feat;Ross's fantasy of developing a barbershop harmony supercomputer;How Brian Wilson built upon The Four Freshmen sound for The Beach Boys;How the group achieved the sparkling sound of their Capitol recordings;From where Ross feels the melancholy in Brian's music originated;And what it felt like to ultimately be passed over in favor of groups like The Beach Boys who wouldn't even exist without The Four Freshmen.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.

Rockshow episode special tribute show:Brian WilsonBrian Wilson, born June 20, 1942, in Hawthorne, California, is a legendary American musician, singer, songwriter, and producer best known as the creative force behind The Beach Boys. A musical genius with a gift for harmony and innovation, Wilson helped define the sound of 1960s surf rock before evolving into one of pop music's most groundbreaking artists.Wilson co-founded The Beach Boys with his brothers Carl and Dennis, cousin Mike Love, and friend Al Jardine. As the band's chief songwriter and producer, he crafted hits like “Surfin' U.S.A.,” “California Girls,” and “Wouldn't It Be Nice.” His masterpiece Pet Sounds (1966) broke new ground with its emotional depth, orchestral arrangements, and studio experimentation—earning critical acclaim and influencing artists like The Beatles.Wilson's career was marked by personal struggles, including battles with mental illness and substance abuse, which sidelined him during key years of the band's success. The abandoned Smile project became legendary among fans for its ambition and mystery, though Wilson eventually completed and released it as a solo album in 2004.Despite hardships, Wilson staged a powerful comeback, releasing solo work and touring extensively. He's been honored with Grammy Awards, an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (1988), and the Kennedy Center Honors (2007). His story of brilliance, resilience, and redemption has inspired generations.Brian Wilson remains one of the most revered figures in popular music history, known for his emotional vulnerability, innovative soundscapes, and timeless melodies.https://www.instagram.com/brianwilsonlive?igsh=Y3JpaDE3eWQ5c250https://t.co/ax0hKlf5xPBrian Wilson (@BrianWilsonLive)https://www.brianwilson.com/#BrianWilson #TheBeachBoys#PetSounds #SmileSessions#GoodVibrations #MusicLegend#60sRock #SurfRock#RockAndRollHallOfFame#ClassicRock #MusicalGenius#CaliforniaSound #SongwritingLegend#BrianWilsonLive #BeachBoysForever #InnovatorOfSound #PopMusicIcon#WilsonBrother #StudioWizard#GodOnlyKnows

In Part 2 of my amazing discussion with two-thirds of The Honeys, Marilyn, Ginger, and I work our way through some wildly emotional terrain, including what it was like to share lives with a creative genius while he was operating at his peak.Here's just a few of the many things that Marilyn & Ginger discuss with Discograffiti in this podcast:How Marilyn felt about Brian's Smile-era decor in their Laurel Way home;Their thoughts on the Smile-era music, not to mention their ever-evolving lifestyle;What it was like being produced by Murry;The story behind American Spring, and the wonderful music that act produced;The Honeys' two latter-day LPs;Their late-1960s singles, and the slew of wonderful guest appearances on other artists' records (Director's Cut only);And how the ladies feel about Pet Sounds lyric collaborator Tony Asher.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 superfan like me, The Director's Cut of this episode is ad-free and features 20 additional minutes of essential material. 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/Discograffiti⁠⁠Or just purchase The Director's Cut as a one-off at ⁠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.

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.

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!

Join Opie and the crew for a wild ride at Gebhards Beer Culture, where the conversation veers from crooning about "Blue Christmas" to debating Michael Bublé's lisp and the genius of Brian Wilson's Pet Sounds. The gang dives into pizza controversies, pineapple toppings, and a bizarre beachside Christmas tree fantasy. Things get gritty with Ron's oozing foot reveal—eczema or something worse?—and a heated rant about overblown riots and Broadway musicals (spoiler: Phantom gets no love). From Trump's questionable taste in Les Mis to Fiddler on the Roof sing-alongs, this episode is a chaotic mix of laughs, music trivia, and questionable hygiene. Grab a Miller Lite and tune in for the madness!

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

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.
