50) The Beach Boys Story (BBC 6)


I've really been enjoying this radio program that aired in 6 parts in June, 2011. Since I live in the States I never got to hear it until now. Fascinating interviews, interesting insights, etc. Well here it is! Each part is an hour long and is an MP3 (128 kbps) so not too hard on your hard drive:

PART 1: Beach Boards And Buggies
PART 2: On The Crest Of A Wave
PART 3: Pet Sounds
PART 4: SMiLE And Meditation
PART 5: Trying To Change The Label
PART 6: Making Waves

49) Brian Wilson on Howard Stern Show


Two shows to share with you here. The first is from February, 1989. The notes I got with it say this:

Brian Wilson
1989 02 xx
The Howard Stern Show
WXRK-FM NYC

FM > REEL TO REEL > WAV > FLAC

Brian Wilson stops by the Hollywood Roosevelt
Hotel to talk to Howard Stern during a week of shows
celebrating the Grammy awards.

I'm not a Wilson/Beach Boys fan but I saved this show
just because it was so wacky. (But then it's Brian Wilson
so what else would you expect?) For example:

Stern: You guys live together?
Wilson: No, not in the same house, no - in the same world, yeah.

Enjoy!


This comes in 3 parts:

PART 1
PART 2
PART 3

The second show is from July 24th, 1998 and is in a heavily compressed MP3 format (64 kbps) but it is all I have.
