Show notes
Carnie assured me she’s never done an interview like this in her life, so it’s an honor for Discograffiti’s “Beach Boys: And Your Dreams Come True” Series to have had this opportunity. Here, then, is Part 3 of the longest interview Carnie’s ever given, and on a subject she rarely talks about…her father’s band, and what it means to her. She picked 7 of the most important Beach Boys albums of her life (plus a solo LP), which, if taken together, form a patchwork quilt that defines the essence of Dad as she knows him. We, of course, know him as Brian Wilson, and so rarely do we get to have such an intimate glimpse of him.
Here’s just a few of the many things Carnie discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:
Her favorite Beach Boys album of all time; The mixed feelings that the 1976 “Brian’s Back” campaign brought up in her; The whirlwind launch of Carnie’s own career in Wilson Phillips, and how that helped in putting her past with Dad to bed; Her feelings on 15 Big Ones, Love You, Brian Wilson’s self-titled 1988 solo debut, and in a Director’s Cut exclusive 1979’s L.A. (Light Album); And, most importantly, the farting habits of the Wilson clan.
