THE BEACH BOYS’ PET SOUNDS DEEP-DIVE: “I Just Wasn’t Made For These Times” & “Pet Sounds” (Ep. 230)

Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. In this episode, Beach Boys author Chuck Granata reviews and discusses Pet Sounds’ “I Just Wasn’t Made For These Times” and “Pet Sounds” with commentary and stories. Discograffiti’s Pet Sounds Deep-Dive Series stands as a unique combination of factual obsession and personal connection, and there’s nothing else quite like it.

Here are just a few of the many things that Chuck discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:

• Dave Gebroe’s 2 favorite songs of all time;
• The use of the Electro-Theremin in “I Just Wasn’t Made For These Times,” which stands as its first usage in a pop/rock record ever;
• Tony Asher’s inability to personally connect with the lyrics to “I Just Wasn’t Made”;
• The spiritual successor to the song that Brian created and recorded with Andy Paley in the 1990s;
• The true origin and first-draft title of the title track;
• And how both Chuck and I connect with “I I Just Wasn’t Made For These Times” and Pet Sounds” in a laid-bare, explicitly personal way.
