Description

“We’ve come a long way from Hawthorne, California, and now the Boys are handing over their literal likenesses to a company that’s willing to give them the Tupac treatment so that Mike Love can finally put the band to rest.” Oh no! The podcast has gone on so long that we’re now in the later, more commercial stages of our career! 2021 marks sixty years of the Beach Boys and ongoing efforts to capitalize on the band’s legacy, even if that means… a future hologram tour? Rosie takes Krista on a wild ride of “God Only Knows” covers that tell the commercial history of the band and the many bumps in the road along the way. Rosie untangles the mess of the Beach Boys’ legacy by revisiting a 2017 trip to Elvis’ Graceland and Krista can’t stop thinking about the phrase “Mamma Mia! for boys.” Both hosts wholeheartedly stan the Bowie cover.  SHOW NOTES & SOURCES — FOLLOW US:INSTAGRAM @beachgalspod TWITTER @beachgalspod EMAIL US AT pocketsymphonypod@gmail.com Art by @HVNNart Theme by @mikeylegend

A narrative podcast exploring the life and cultural legacy of the Beach Boys and Brian Wilson. Using the 2015 biopic "Love & Mercy," Rosie Alejandrino and Krista Kurisaki break down each scene and uncover the real-life events that inspired the movie. "Part movie watch-along and part pop culture deep dive, but mostly an exploration of why we, two Asian-American millennial women, keep talking about a white boy band whose best hits lived and died before we were even born."
