• THE BEACH BOYS’ PET SOUNDS DEEP-DIVE: “I Just Wasn’t Made For These Times” & “Pet Sounds” (Ep. 230)

  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.

• AN INTERVIEW WITH AUTHOR LEWIS SHINER ABOUT HIS NOVEL “OUTSIDE THE GATES OF EDEN” (Ep. 229)

  Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives.  In this episode, author Lewis Shiner discusses his epic, 868-page, music-based novel Outside The Gates Of Eden, which follows a series of characters from 1965 to the present day. Lewis describes it as a "War & Peace for the Woodstock Generation," and I believe it is an absolute masterpiece, one of the 10 best books I’ve ever read in my life.   Lewis explains the book’s origin, its adept blend of fact and fiction, how Dylan going electric became the leap-off point for both himself and his main characters, how the entirety of Woodstock earned a place in the book as a tour de force tableaux during an important sequence, the real-life stalwarts from the late 1960s rock scene who became characters in this world, and how he knew as an author that it was time to stop writing books.

• LARRY KNECHTEL (The Chuck Granata Pet Sounds Interview Series) (Ep. 228B)

  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.

  Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives.  In this episode, Graham Nash reviews and discusses the “Ohio” single, CSNY’s 1970 tour, and their first break-up (of many) with commentary and stories. Discograffiti’s Wild Tales: The Graham Nash Interview Series tackles every last release the great Graham Nash ever had a hand in creating, including CSN/Y, C&N, and his solo career, detailing a history almost too wild to be believed.  Here’s just a few of the many things that Graham discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: The 1968 night during which Graham smoked some hash and managed to write three classic songs (in The Director’s Cut only); CSN’s one rule as a group by which they lived (in The Director’s Cut only); The early CSN band members who fell by the wayside while they were coming together as a group in Sag Harbor (in The Director’s Cut only); The 9-week, 3,000 mile boat journey Crosby & Nash took before the release of Deja Vu; How the $7 million 1970 tour broke down in chaos; The batshit crazy way that Fuzzy Samuels managed to cope with the chaotic tone of the 1970 CSNY gigs; How “Ohio” happened; The Fillmore East show during which Stills pulled out the stops to showboat for Bob Dylan, who was in the audience; How CSNY initially broke up; And an in-depth deep dive on Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young’s “Ohio” 45 and Four-Way Street double-live LP!

• THE BEACH BOYS’ PET SOUNDS DEEP-DIVE: “I Know There’s An Answer” & “Here Today” (Ep. 227)

  Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives.  In this episode, Beach Boys author Chuck Granata reviews and discusses Pet Sounds’ “I Know There's An Answer” (originally written as "Hang On To Your Ego") and “Here Today,” 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 like it.  Here are just a few of the many things that Chuck discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast: The extremely illuminating original title of “Hang On To Your Ego”; Some background info on little-known “Ego” co-writer Terry Sachen; The impact of LSD on Brian’s consciousness during that time; The difficulty that Tony Asher had with writing lyrics to “Here Today”; The fraught relationship that Brian Wilson had with “Here Today”; The Four Seasons song that may have been a “Here Today” influence; And how both Chuck and I connect with “I Know There’s An Answer” / “Hang On To Your Ego” and “Here Today” in a laid-bare, explicitly personal way.
