    My only wish is that it were longer! I could listen to them analyze the themes of Surfin' Safari for another half hour easily. So much fun!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Shut Down Volume 2 with Henry Hall | Pod Only Knows Ep. 05
Q: Do you remember when you got into The Beach Boys?
Hall says the band was part of his life from childhood because his father loved them and his family was from Santa Barbara. He grew up surfing, as did his father, and came to associate the area and that way of life with the Beach Boys.
Shut Down Volume 2 with Henry Hall | Pod Only Knows Ep. 05
Q: Talk a little bit about this record and some of the inspirations behind it.
Hall says he recorded the album with close friends Jess Best and Connor Schultz in their intimate Frogtown home studio. He wrote and demoed the songs at home before recording them, and says the studio's dry drums and 1960s- and 1970s-inspired sound complemented the album's more complex melodies, sardonic attitude and moodier production.
Little Deuce Coupe with The Mellons | Pod Only Knows Ep. 04
Q: What can we expect from The Mellons for the foreseeable future, guys?
Denney says the band hopes to tour with another group and is working on a collaborative LP with Triptides. Andrew adds that they have many song ideas and would like to write a future album together in a room, starting from scratch.
Little Deuce Coupe with The Mellons | Pod Only Knows Ep. 04
Q: The Mellons, do you guys like The Beach Boys?
Andrew says he did not grow up listening to the band beyond a few familiar songs, but a friend introduced him to Pet Sounds after college. Denney recalls enjoying the early surf and car songs as a child before getting into the band's broader catalog as a young adult.
