Episode 22 of PET SQUARES: A GEEK'S GUIDE TO THE BEACH BOYS is up!
It's Part 4 of our exhaustive dive into the classic PET SOUNDS album covering the first half of side one: "You Still Believe In Me", "That's Not Me" and possibly the greatest Beach Boys single of all time (according to us) "Wouldn't It Be Nice."
With credits, musical and thematic analysis, an instrument-by-instrument breakdown of a recreation of "That's Not Me," personal anecdotes of performing the material...at 90 minutes, it's a double-length episode with lots of new information to sink your teeth into! Learn about the Kooky Bellzouki, see Adam fall on his face with music theory and helping Matthew Sweet, learn the tracking mystery behind "You Still Believe In Me," and much more. Join us for music, tons of wonky info, and just a little irreverent fun.

Also interesting about the Leslie’d handclaps on TNM! Really cool track would not have guessed that. |

Count on it!  |

Fantastic, Adam. Oooff -- that was quite a sit! Well, no wonder you were apprehensive about how to approach Pet Sounds. Four tremendous episodes down and three (?) to go! I do admire your willingness to leave in your mishearing of parts in "You Still Believe In Me". It is one heck of a puzzle at times. I'm transcribing an obscure Brian track right now and goodness gracious. A highlight of the episode for me was the Joshilynesque breakdown of "That’s Not Me". It reminds me of JH's feat of uncovering and identifying the seriously buried string bass line played by Lyle Ritz on "I'm Waiting For The Day": I hope others have been watching this episode or are planning to, one song at a time if necessary. But the whole series is essential viewing. |

It may be that Adam will announce this himself in a new thread, in which case I shall gladly delete this post. I got the news at BBT (with thanks to the Cap'n). Am I looking forward to watching this!  |
