JACKASS’S WEE MAN RATES BLACK SABBATH (PART 1) (Ep. 224)

Jackass’s Jason “Wee Man” Acuna is such an Ozzy fan, he crossed the ocean to see the Back To The Beginning gig before even having a ticket. (He made it in, Thank God.) The biggest little metalhead on the planet joins Discograffiti in paying tribute to the all-time greatest metal band in a whipcrack-fast three-part series that’ll school you in how metal got started. And to sweeten the pot, we’re only covering the Ozzy era.
 
Here’s just a few of the many things that Wee Man discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:
 
A rundown of his experience attending the already-legendary Back To The Beginning gig;
The band’s early days growing out of the late-Sixties British blues scene;
The great allure of turning their debut record around in 48 hours flat that continued to hold appeal as a way of working for some members of the group;
The shockingly depressive underpinning of Geezer’s lyrics for “Paranoid”;
How in the hell Wee Man deals with his Jackass-induced aches & pains; 
A look back at Wee Man’s relationship with Billy Barty when he was a kid;
And an in-depth deep dive on every song off Black Sabbath and Paranoid!

AN INTERVIEW WITH DENNY TEDESCO (DIRECTOR OF “THE IMMEDIATE FAMILY” DOC) (Sneak Peek, Ep. 223B)

The Wrecking Crew is to the Sixties what The Immediate Family are to the Seventies, so it’s no accident that music doc director extraordinaire Denny Tedesco tackled both groups of studio musicians in equally fascinating documentaries.  While we’re on the topic of Graham Nash, The Immediate Family became Crosby & Nash’s touring ensemble, nicknamed The Mighty Jitters on the road for reasons we won’t go into here. Here’s just a few of the many things that Denny discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:How Denny’s relationship with his father (Wrecking Crew guitarist Tommy Tedesco) changed after his cancer diagnosis; The ways in which his newest doc The Immediate Family differs from his first, The Wrecking Crew;The cold, hard realities of making an independent film;The toxic relationship between Hal Blaine and Carole Kaye;His incredible upcoming music doc projects;And our mutual dream doc project.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.

Alan Robinson, ”God Only Knows” French Horn Player (The Chuck Granata Pet Sounds Interview Series) (Ep. 222B)

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.

The Beach Boys’ PET SOUNDS (Part 4, Ep. 222)

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.

THE BRUCE JOHNSTON INTERVIEW (Part 2, Sneak Peek of Ep. 221B)

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.

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…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 3 is an examination of everything you’ll ever need to know about the remainder of Pet Sounds’ Side 1: “Don’t Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder),” “I’m Waiting For The Day,” “Let’s Go Away For Awhile,” and “Sloop John B.”Here’s just a few of the many things that Chuck discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:Brian Wilson’s studio preparation for the production of “Don’t Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder)”;What Brian feels is “the one cut off the album I didn’t really like that much”;The Burt Bacharach song on which Brian had felt he’d subconsciously based “Let’s Go Away For Awhile”;The stunning original intention for the final planned Pet Sounds session, before that date was used to knock out the entire mix of the LP;Brian’s Great Bahamian Folk Song Swindle;A full half-hour interview with Sid Sharp, whose string section played on virtually all of Brian's string dates, including both Pet Sounds and "Good Vibrations” (in The Director’s Cut only);And how both Chuck and I connect with “Don’t Talk,” “I’m Waiting For The Day,” “Let’s Go Away For Awhile,” and “Sloop John B” 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 30 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.

Tony Asher (Part 1) (The Chuck Granata Pet Sounds Interview Series) (Ep. 219B)

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. 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.Full Episode: Patreon.com/Discograffiti (available on the Major Tier & up)Free Sneak Peek: linktr.ee/discograffitiSubscribe to Discograffiti's Patreon and receive a ceaseless barrage (4 shows a week!) of must-hear binge-listening.
