Brainwaves – July 11, 2017 – Brian Wilson smiles
When the new Brian Wilson bio pick Love and Mercy came out a few years ago, it made me want to revisit my Beach Boys collection – in particular the Smile sessions. This week’s Brainwaves features the opening two tracks from the Brian Wilson version of the album. Plus Guster, the Talking Heads, Lords of the New Church, Stereolab, the Slants and much more.
Brainwaves – July 4, 2017 – Songs for June through November
Brainwaves celebrates summer by playing songs for the months of June, July and August. (Plus September, October and November, too.) Music from Pete Yorn, Lucy Schwartz, Sufjan Stevens, Counting Crows, The Shins, Earth Wind & Fire, U2, The National and Azure Ray.
Brainwaves – June 27, 2017 – Zombies, Heads, Puppets and Wheels
The podcast S-Town re-introduced many people to the music of the 60s British pop group the Zombies. Like Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, the Zombies were influenced heavily by the Sgt. Pepper-era Beatles and wanted to create a more artistic album as well. The result was 1967’s Odyssey and Oracle. This week’s Brainwaves opens with a look back at the Zombies. Plus some music by and about heads (Talking Heads, Lemonheads, Cat Stevens, Suzanne Vega), puppets (Puppets of Castro, King Crimson, They Might be Giants) and wheels (Julian Cope, Dorin Yanni, Heaven 17).
