175. ROBERT SCHNEIDER FROM THE APPLES IN STEREO REVEALS THE FULL STORY BEHIND THE STRAWBERRY ALARM CLOCK & RATES ALL THEIR RECORDS (PART 1: INCENSE & PEPPERMINTS & WAKE UP...IT'S TOMORROW)

Talking with Robert Schneider is like riding a rollercoaster that’s not quite tethered to its track—with all the thrills an experience like that portends, and none of the danger. Needless to say, collaborating with him on this show has been one of the most invigorating experiences of my life.   Here’s just some of the many things Robert and I touch on in this podcast:    The wild tale of “Incense & Peppermint”’s 7-month build to number one, especially in light of the fact that it was originally just a b-side sung by a friend of the band; The FM rock classic that was stolen outright from the SAC’s “Rainy Day Mushroom Pillow”; And wildly caffeinated rundowns of Incense & Peppermints and Wake Up…It’s Tomorrow!   Listen: https://podfollow.com/1592182331⁠⁠   I support a wife and a five-year-old son with Discograffiti’s Patreon and tips as my sole sources of income.    If you’re a Robert Schneider / Apples In Stereo superfan like me, you’ll want THE DIRECTOR’S CUT of this episode.
