The Discograffiti Soldiers Of Sound Podcast: BUTTERGLORY (with Adem Kerimofski & Patrick Tape Fleming)

What’s this? Another ongoing series? Why yes! For this one, SOS isn’t looking at perfect songs, but instead artists that members of the community believe deserve a little more attention.

For this debut episode, SOSer Adem Kerimofski (of Turnstyle, The Community Chest, and The Burton Cool Suit) introduces Rudy and special guest Patrick Fleming (of Poison Control Center and Gloom Balloon) to the music of late 90s indie rockers Butterglory. Despite being on taste-making Merge Records, this fantastic band just never quite broke through beyond the “oh yeah, I think I’ve heard of them” status.

Per usual, there are music clips to give you a taste of what their music sounds like, but Adem has made a Spotify playlist for those ready to take things to the next level of your hopefully long and fruitful relationship.

Here’s the playlist:

JACKASS’S WEE MAN RATES BLACK SABBATH (PART 3) (Ep. 226)

In this final episode of the series, we stand by and witness the band fall to pieces in grand style, illustrating how a band should go out...and it’s as messy as it gets.

Here are just a few of the many things that Wee Man discusses with Discograffiti in Part 3 of this podcast:

* The Black Sabbath song that single-handedly created thrash metal;
* The two songs on Sabotage that Ozzy felt were distractions on an otherwise perfect album;
* The many bad ideas behind Black Sabbath recording in Miami;
* The telling t-shirt that Ozzy had made during the recording of Technical Ecstasy;
* The weird several months after Ozzy split and Sabbath replaced him with ex-Fleetwood Mac vocalist Dave Walker;
* The outright insanity of the Never Say Die! sessions;
* And an in-depth deep dive on every song off Sabotage, Technical Ecstasy, Never Say Die!, and 13!

Paul Kelly is back to talk about a Beach Boys album that is both praised for its genius and derided for its odd quality.

JACKASS’S WEE MAN RATES BLACK SABBATH (PART 2) (Ep. 225)

Jackass’s Jason “Wee Man” Acuna is such an Ozzy fan, he crossed the ocean to see the Back To The Beginning gig before even having a ticket. (He made it in, Thank God.) The biggest little metalhead on the planet joins Discograffiti in paying tribute to the all-time greatest metal band in a whipcrack-fast three-part series that’ll school you in how metal got started. And to sweeten the pot, we’re only covering the Ozzy era.

Here are just a few of the many things that Wee Man discusses with Discograffiti in Part 2 of this podcast:

* The Black Sabbath track that Billy Corgan credited with inventing grunge;
* The reason Sabbath downtuned their guitars further on Master Of Reality, and the sub-genres that wound up creating;
* How Tony Iommi’s “Sweet Leaf” coughing was captured;
* The secret messages planted throughout Vol. 4’s songs and packaging, not to mention its initial jettisoned title;
* And an in-depth deep dive on every song off Master Of Reality, Vol. 4, and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath!

TOM FRANGIONE (Ep. 224B)

The next entry in The Chuck Granata Pet Sounds Interview Series is Chuck’s chat with Tom Frangione, who’s been part of the official Beatles Channel on SiriusXM since its launch in 2017, serving as their ‘Resident Beatles Expert’. He co-hosts the weekly “Fab Fourum,” “Apple Jam” with co-host David Fricke, and the weekly rarities program “Way Beyond Compare.” He also writes the weekly show “Across The Universe”, which focuses on John Lennon’s life and music. Tom is the long-time master of ceremonies at the Fest For Beatles Fans, as well as acting as Contributing Editor to Beatlefan Magazine and Joe Johnson’s Beatle Brunch Radio. Above all else, this is hands-down the funniest interview of Chuck’s series.

Here’s just a few of the many things that Tom discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:

* Hysterically funny details behind one of the more awkward Brian Wilson interviews that’s ever gone down;
* The song Brian once admitted he wished he’d written…and it’s not “Be My Baby”;
* And a very smart breakdown of the mid-1960s Beatles / Beach Boys tennis match of inspiration.

⭐️ NEW PODCAST! ⭐️

AN INTERVIEW WITH DENNY TEDESCO (DIRECTOR OF “THE IMMEDIATE FAMILY” DOC) (Ep. 223B)

The Wrecking Crew is to the Sixties what The Immediate Family are to the Seventies, so it’s no accident that music doc director extraordinaire Denny Tedesco tackled both groups of studio musicians in equally fascinating documentaries. While we’re on the topic of Graham Nash, The Immediate Family became Crosby & Nash’s touring ensemble, nicknamed The Mighty Jitters on the road for reasons we won’t go into here.

Here’s just a few of the many things that Denny discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:

* How Denny’s relationship with his father (Wrecking Crew guitarist Tommy Tedesco) changed after his cancer diagnosis;
* The ways in which his newest doc The Immediate Family differs from his first, The Wrecking Crew;
* The cold, hard realities of making an independent film;
* The toxic relationship between Hal Blaine and Carole Kaye;
* His incredible upcoming music doc projects;
* And our mutual dream doc project.

ALAN ROBINSON, “GOD ONLY KNOWS” FRENCH HORN PLAYER (Ep. 222B)

The next entry in The Chuck Granata Pet Sounds Interview Series is Chuck’s chat with French horn player Alan Robinson, the man whose extraordinary playing graces “God Only Knows.” It’s absolutely incredible what a photographic memory Alan possesses—listening to him speak, it’s as if you’re sitting there right beside him, watching Brian Wilson through the control room glass. This interview is an absolute must-hear for Pet Sounds fans.

At 21, Alan became the youngest contract member of the 20th Century Fox orchestra, where he played on films like The King & I, Carousel and The Sound Of Music. In the mid-1960s, he discovered that “being a busy session player was more lucrative than symphonic work,” which is how he came to be on Pet Sounds. Among his other pop credits are sessions and/or live shows with Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Neil Diamond, Earth, Wind, & Fire, The 5th Dimension, Johnny Mathis, Elton John, and Paul McCartney & Wings.
