The latest episode of PET SQUARES: A GEEK'S GUIDE TO THE BEACH BOYS is finally up:
https://youtu.be/KD49RHeHiQEPET SQUARES #19 is the first of a planned 7-part series of eps devoted to what may be the deepest, most comprehensive dive into the Beach Boys' masterpiece PET SOUNDS available on youTube. Even though the album has been analyzed plenty by many, PET SQUARES' goal is (as always) to offer new perspectives on the Beach Boys' classic work.
Part 1 "Finding A Direction" talks about what Brian was (and wasn't) up to in the months leading up to PET SOUNDS, his collaboration with Tony Asher, and the lyrical themes on the album. The next episode will spotlight the band's and the label's reactions to the music, and the episodes to follow will be deep-dive music and song-by-song analysis.
Enjoy, and comments are always welcome...ones on youTube always help goose the algorithm. My humble little channel just hit 2K subscribers so, many thanks to all who subscribed and also are patrons of the channel. It has taken awhile to get this up, but the goal as always to do a good job. The next two episodes are already filmed so hopefully they will follow before too long. Thanks all!
