It’s time for episode 89 of Love That Album podcast.
Maurice is
joined in discussion by Darian Sahanaja, the long time “music secretary” of
Brian Wilson’s band. He is also one of the songwriters and keyboard player for
Los Angeles pop maestros, Wondermints. Besides Darian, Nick Walusko, Mike D’Amico
and Probyn Gregory have all been absorbed into Brian’s band.
The
conversation took place while Darian was in Australia with Brian for a final
tour playing Pet Sounds live. The conversation incorporated Darian’s early love
of Beach Boys (and how it got him beat up), the great albums of Wondermints
(including Mind If We Make Love To You and Bali), Austin Powers, Henry Mancini,
60s pop, lounge music, Darian’s involvement with the 40th
anniversary of The Zombies’ “Odessey and Oracle”, the nineties power pop
movement….and a whole lot more.
Thanks so
much to Darian for being so generous with his time. We hope all Love That Album
listeners will enjoy this fascinating insight into this great musician.
