Show Notes

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. The Beach Boys had a string of surf-related hits but by 1964 they were oh so ready to grow up and get personal. The guys talk about excessively long tape loops, interfamily sniping, and sharp 11 chords disguised as bubblegum pop melodies.
