In 1968, The Beatles deserved a little rest and relaxation. Their destination? Northern India. Their quest? To master the art of getting high without LSD. The resulting years held more Lennon-McCartney feuds than you can shake an award-winning record at!

EDIT (9/11/2019): It comes with a great shock to both of us here at Blunderphonics to hear about the recent passing of Daniel Johnston; just a day after the posting of our episode about his influence on music.

For those listening, please keep in mind this was recorded before the news.

In the 1980s, a strange McDonalds employee was wandering throughout Austin, Texas handing out his homemade cassettes to any hipster that would listen. That man? The godfather of alternative music himself, Daniel Johnston. And everyone clapped.

On October 23, 2006, punk-rock sensations and overnight-emos My Chemical Romance debuted their smash-hit concept album "The Black Parade." In spite of freak accidents, turmoil among the members, and a few spooky situations, the album was critically lauded and served as a send-off to the emo scene of the 2000s.

Sorry about my explosive mic-technique this episode, my second pop-filter does a lot more legwork than I thought! -S.

December 8, 1987, Prince's 16th studio album was about to debut. The album, a return-to-form funk bible dubbed "The Black Album" was just a week from release. Almost inexplicably, record stores received the order to recall the album--all 500,000 copies of it. For nearly seven years, the world was in the dark on what happened to this legendary lost record. But what really happened in the making of The Black Album, and how does it tie back to Prince's 9th album, "Sign o the Times?"

In 1966, California's rough and rowdy Beach Boys were at it again. Over the next two years, what might have been their triumphant 12th album slowly became the best album that was never made. In 2011, the world was given a glimpse into the once-lost album named "Smile."

And it definitely sounded like an album from the 60s.

In 2008, hard rock superstars and living-stains Guns N' Roses released a long-anticipated record called Chinese Democracy. Featuring a general ambiguity about what it really wanted to sound like, the album was met with... mixed opinions. A lukewarm launch and a delayed production aren't all there is to tell about Chinese Democracy, though, so strap in for the "Blunderphonics: Axl Rose Special."

In 2008, American prog-rock band The Mars Volta released "Bedlam in Goliath," an album that was allegedly hindered by natural disasters, illnesses, and outright mania. Nonetheless, it released... but what exactly happened in the making of Bedlam in Goliath?

In 1991, My Bloody Valentine released Loveless, an English Shoegaze album clocking in at 48:31. How was it made though, and who is this "Kevin Shields" character?
