176. ROBERT SCHNEIDER FROM THE APPLES IN STEREO REVEALS THE FULL STORY BEHIND THE STRAWBERRY ALARM CLOCK & RATES THEIR RECORDS (PART 2: WORLD IN A SEA SHELL, GOOD MORNING STARSHINE & THE FINAL 45s)

Talking with Robert Schneider is like riding a rollercoaster that’s not quite tethered to its track—with all the thrills an experience like that portends, and none of the danger. Needless to say, collaborating with him on this show has been one of the most invigorating experiences of my life.

Here’s just some of the many things Robert and I touch on in this podcast:

• An imagined series of reasonings to explain why The Strawberry Alarm Clock would choose to leapfrog from string-laden hippie elevator music to blues rock;
• An incredibly intimate rendering of a “Good Morning Starshine”-based jingle that served as young Robert’s very first hit;
• And wildly caffeinated rundowns of the Good Morning Starshine LP, not to mention (in a Director’s Cut exclusive) the slew of incredible 45s that marked the end of the line for the band!
