49. Joe Camilleri on The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones

This episode originally aired July 1, 2015 Standup comic and legendary bass master Guy Pratt (Pink Floyd, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Icehouse) joins host Jeremy Dylan to chat about the iconic rock concept album about alienation and adolescence - The Who’s 1973 rock opera “Qaudrophenia”. How did Quadrophenia kickstart a mod revival? How easy was it to understand the story of the album? What is the meaning of the lyrics to 5:15? What makes the bassline on ‘The Real Me’ so unique? Did Guy really buy one of Who bassist’s John Entwistle’s bass guitars? What word has Guy never been able to say to Pete Townshend? Has the Who influenced Guy’s bass playing? Plus, Guy reveals why he’s played in both Pink Floyd and a Floyd tribute band, how he almost got sued after playing Whole Lotta Love with Jimmy Page at the Olympics and some Pete Townshend stories he heard from David Gilmour.

Writer/producer Jeff Lieber (Necessary Roughness, NCIS: New Orleans) joins me to explore the intersection between music and drama, and how he uses an obsession with an album to fuel his writing process. We talk about how Gregory Alan Isakov's 'The Weatherman' has been the soundtrack to his current writing project, the different ways that changing technology has effected TV and music, what the Beatles have in common with the Sopranos, why he has failed multiple times to write song lyrics, the secrets to using songs in episodes of TV drama and why he sometimes envies indie musicians - and sometimes doesn't.

We celebrate a milestone today with first ever Scottish guest of the pod. Duglas T Stewart, founder and frontman of indie legends BMX Bandits, joins me to discuss the offbeat magic and beautiful naive emotion of Beach Boys 'Love You', the band's bizarre and compelling 1977 'comeback' album, which saw Brian Wilson and a host of wonky synthesisers create a sonic world completely different to the perfectionism of Pet Sounds. We talk about how this record showcases Brian Wilson the lyricist, the simple sentiment of tune like 'Solar System', why the unfiltered emotion of the Beach Boys is more authentic than many modern overwrought overearnest bands, the hidden sadness in 'Johnny Carson', Duglas's conversations with Brian Wilson about the record, the BMX Bandits songs most inspired by the album, Big Star's Alex Chilton's love for the record and which Scottish movie would make the best name for an Australian band.
