190. THE BEACH BOYS’ DAVID MARKS: THE DISCOGRAFFITI INTERVIEW (PART 2)

This interview began with an innocent phone call placed to Beach Boy David Marks asking if it was possible to one day do an interview, and it became clear very quickly that this WAS the interview. No prep, no notes, no Zoom even…honestly, I was just holding on for dear life.
What followed, in my opinion, was the most honest interview in Discograffiti history.
Here’s just a few of the many things David discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:
The Beach Boys songs on which David feels he’s getting screwed out of royalties;
The real truth behind his ousting from the band, as David sees it;
His wildly honest assessment of The Beach Boys albums that came after Pet Sounds;
And, in a Director’s Cut exclusive, the incredible story of how his two blank-check budget LPs with The Moon came together.

Great interview. Keep up the great work on The Beach Boys. You should do a deep dive on Van Halen

[@discograffitipodcast2872]

Already did a VH deep dive, go back to episode 9 ;)

Both parts of these David interviews are IN-CRED-IBLE! xoxo The Clarences

Friends and 20/20 are great albums

Wtf did I just listen to? I've never heard David talk like that, was he high? Definitely appreciate the brutal honesty. But seriously, what was that all about. Never knew he hated the Beach Boys music of the late 60s and early 70s. Most people at this point in time believe that 67-73 period to be incredible. Even Love You has found new appreciation from critics and fans. Dont get me wrong, again, I love the honesty but he was so indifferent about everything yet he's saying he still sees Brian and has played with Al recently. He was a part of the big 2012 reunion. Has something happened with him personally? Anyway, that was wild and I'm here for it

The fart story changes everything

[@discograffitipodcast2872]

hahahahahahah

[@spookyman5468]

13:51 makes sense Carl planted that idea lol -- you can hear this as late as the 1976 radio performance of I'm Bugged at My Old Man. Just the Wilsons with Brian on piano and his bros on backing vox, and in the first verse Carl says "blew his dad" causing Denny to chuckle and break for a second haha

[@mikewynne7131]

Poop. LOL

[@electrical_journeyman7380]

Mike made David look at his poop confirmed.
