The Story Behind: Go Gos - Beauty and the Beat, Ep 119

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. The GoGos formed out of the LA punk scene as five friends who wanted to take over the world. They rose to worldwide stardom but fell apart in the years to come. Listen as we discuss pop production tricks that work, drum beats that elevate simple songs, and speeding up the tape. We're live together in the room today, face to face at last to discuss the Go Go's debut album Beauty and the Beat.
