For Trevor's pick of an album that has "been around awhile," he selected the Beach Boys classic 1966 release "Pet Sounds." Both Trevor and Shane had memories growing up of listening to the Beach Boys, but neither had dived into this iconic album and absorbed it like they knew they should have. It did not disappoint. The history, the stories, the relationships, and everything Brian Wilson led to endless information to research, connections with Beach Boys fans, and a newfound appreciation for this masterpiece. One of these times they will figure out how to talk about an album they both love in less time than 2 hours. This will not be one of those times. If you don't know the history of the Beach Boys, Brian Wilson, and the album that compelled the defeated Beatles back into the studio to create "Sergeant Pepper's," then buckle up because you are in for a ride.

On this bonus episode, Trevor and Shane interview two lifelong Beach Boys fans Gary Mohr and Doug Paulsen ahead of their deep dive into Brian Wilson's masterpiece Pet Sounds. They have a great time discussing how they first encountered this album and the Beach Boys, their favorite memories surrounding Pet Sounds, and how the album's place in their life has morphed and grown over the years. Though it's possible that Gary is actually Mike Love in disguise, Doug has never held that against him. Trevor and Shane enjoyed connecting with two more album divers in their own right and were even more excited to take on this album after this discussion.

For Shane's January pick of an older album that has "been around awhile," he selected Jason Isbell's 2015 release "Something More Than Free." Trevor and Shane quickly discovered after 4+ hours of discussing this album that they are both kind of Isbell fanboys. They fortunately managed to condense the episode down to an easily digestible 2.5 hours of content. This was such a great album that continued to reveal more and more layers of depth with each listen. Shane and Trevor hope you can appreciate that it took them this long to do the album justice. They challenge you to listen to the whole darn episode and become a fanboy/girl yourself!

Trevor and Shane begin their journey into deep album dives with Field Music's 7th studio album, "Making a New World," released in January 2020. This concept album based on the after-effects of World War I was inspired by an image from a 1919 publication by the US Department of War. Originally commissioned by the Imperial War Museum to create a sound and light show, Field Music began exploring themes surrounding the effects of the war that continued for 100 years later. This was a dense album to dissect, but with repeated listening, it proved to be very rewarding.
