• 202B. SPACEMEN 3’S SONIC BOOM ON DRUGS, KIDS, THE RED KRAYOLA, & WHY EMOTICONS SUCK

  Believe it or not, this explicitly vulnerable catch-up was simply my prelude to rapping with Pete Kember about The Beach Boys’ Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!). Pete’s a truly great man, so wonderful to talk with, and these 15 minutes were a free-range roam during which we tackled a wide variety of topics just as compelling as anything ever spoken about on Discograffiti.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.

• 202. WRECKING CREW PIANIST DON RANDI & DOCUMENTARY DIRECTOR DENNY TEDESCO ON THE BEACH BOYS’ STACK-O-TRACKS

  For our big Season 2 Finale, Discograffiti’s opted to fudge the timeline just a bit in order to give the proper red-carpet drum-roll gravitas to Season 3, especially since much of the music on The Beach Boys’ “Stack-O-Tracks” was created during this period, by the musicians who’d go on to create 99% of the music created during Season 3.  In this very special episode, the inimitable Don Randi and Wrecking Crew guitarist Tommy Tedesco’s son Denny Tedesco—director of the excellent music docs The Wrecking Crew and The Immediate Family—come together for an overview of the black sheep of The Beach Boys’ 1960s catalog, plus a history of the musicians who made most of the music on it…not to mention most of Pet Sounds & Smile. Here’s just a few of the many things that Don and Denny discuss with Discograffiti in this podcast:A sneak peek preview of Denny’s upcoming third music doc;The very different original track listing for “Stack-O-Tracks”;The origin story and early days of The Wrecking Crew;The many reasons for the disbursement of that classic group of great players;The resentments of the band members who wound up being replaced on their records by the 1960s session guys;If Don really knew that Brian was a genius at the time, without the benefit of hindsight;Plus, some background on the ill-fated 1992 Phil Spector session with The Wrecking Crew that never quite came off.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, you’ll want The Director’s Cut of this episode.

• 201B. PAT ST. JOHN (LEGENDARY FM RADIO & SIRIUS XM DJ) ON THE BEACH BOYS’ SINGLE “THE LITTLE GIRL I ONCE KNEW”

  This Beach Boys 45 is the band’s final musical communique prior to Pet Sounds’ release, and although it’s indisputably up there with the greatest music they’ve ever created, it died a relative death at the hands of FM radio DJs at the time due to the extremely unconventional and bold series of silences featured in the song. DJs were left scratching their heads, horrified by the prospect of dead air, and so instead resorted to playing “Barbara Ann” off the recently released “Party!” LP, which wound up becoming a far bigger hit. So who better to explain the curious fate of “The Little Girl I Once Knew” than legendary FM radio DJ and Sirius XM mainstay Pat St. John, whose perspective on the undeserved fate of this classic single is a sorely needed one.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.

• 201. THE BEST SHOW’S TOM SCHARPLING ON THE BEACH BOYS’ PARTY! (PLUS THE SEMINAL STEPPING STONES EN ROUTE TO PET SOUNDS)

  The Best Show’s Tom Scharpling has been a Beach Boys obsessive for over 40 years, and the idea behind bringing him on for Party!, The Beach Boys’ oft-dismissed 10th LP that also served as a stopgap measure allowing Brian Wilson to buy time to shape Pet Sounds, was to feature a guest who took this record seriously. In addition, the various unreleased experiments in which Brian was engaging during this era are some of the most fascinating studio visits Brian would ever make in his life, and each and every one is covered in forensic detail (especially in The Director’s Cut edit). Greatness was not just around the corner…it was already here.Here’s just a few of the many things that Tom discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:How Tom initially became deeply, deeply obsessed with The Beach Boys in the early 1980s, and the burnout he eventually incurred via oversaturation;The time in the late 1980s that a young Tom contacted a radio call-in show that featured Brian, only to harangue him about when Smile was coming out;A fascinating series of unreleased studio experiments that paved the way for both Pet Sounds & Smile;A discussion about whether or not The Beach Boys are an inherently funny band…or not at all in the least;A debate over whether covering their own material on Party was proto-Weird Al or just a complete misfire;And a track-by-track rundown of the Party! LP.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, you’ll want The Director’s Cut of this episode.

• 200B. SNEAK PEEK INTO THE EPIC ROUNDTABLE DEEP-DIVE ON THE BEACH BOYS’ SUMMER DAYS (AND SUMMER NIGHTS!!) WITH THE SMITHEREENS’ DENNIS DIKEN, MARK FRIED, & JEFF LEVENSON

  This incredibly special bonus episode, possibly the longest documented conversation about The Beach Boys 9th LP, is exactly as its title suggests.  Here we have four human beings disproportionately excited by the task at hand, throwing down in a medically unadvisable manner.
