OUT NOW

Brian Wilson 88 Out Now also

i love that this is the closing song on the album today and sounds so different than the rest of the album as it really is a proto pet sounds composition, a little treat before getting a full album of that

what makes it even more special is that dennis songs the lead on it, since he has no lead vocals on pet sounds this makes it kind of an extension of pet sounds, a what if a pet sounds sounding song would’ve have dennis vocals

REAL

my man

even frank ocean himself knows that

“On comes the morning uh huhhh uhhhh”

“ I know you gotta leave leave leave leave”

Amazing album closer, love the solo Brian piano version as well from 1975, his voice sounded like such a wonderful hybrid of his classic 60s voice and his 70s gruff voice

bro i would’ve tagged u if i had known

wild honey fun fact it is the first bb album ever to have a song not written by brian wilson himself, they pulled it off greatly actually it’s a soul bop:

i remember reading both paul weller and noel gallagher praising that song 🤗

I’m in OP, aren’t I?

melt away actually lowkey one of his best

wasn’t love and mercy amazing? it gets a lil hollywood cheesy but the fact we have a movie that’s so artistic and indie shot like about brian is a miracle, two actors, two faces to witness a before and after of a broken man.. love the scene where they record good vibrations and the camera just turns in 360 in the whole scene

man i feel that, so relatable

my first time listening to pet sounds is actually hilarious lol

i was playing san andreas and ig i thot it was the right time to check it out, the clash of doing gang territory wars over them harmonizing about god is something i still to this day can’t get out of my mind

you ever heard this one? we going deep deep in the lore, i kinda like the audio quality it makes the song even more touching somehow

incredible lyrics, brian is heavily underrated as a lyricist (he wrote ‘til i die which is the best bb lyrics imo which is why i first quote it in op post)

i think imagination is underrated too

Harmonic kings

the chills

listening to this to ease ur mind off of stress and anxiety >>>>>>

mannnn i shouldve considered listing the ep “mount vernon and fairway (a fairy tale)” in op list of albums releases most slept on bb project

the only time they tapped onto the prog scene as it was blowing up, a full ep of a song suite with a narrative over it, while the narrative gets corky and doesn’t age too well some of the musical pieces brian did for that are so brian and mesmerizing, thankfully they released an instrumental cut of the suite so its more listenable and put it all together is one and skipping the effects stuff to make it more listenable:

you know you made moves when decades later the singer of pixies one of the most hyped n influential band of his generation covers one of the song from that album but with the ORIGINAL set of lyrics, and drops it as a single and with a video

This is what perfection sounds like.

mf i just realized they got tony asher in the video, dude who wrote the lyrics for pet sounds

I really enjoy it too. I need to listen to more Beach Boys, never really given them my full attention.

bruce johnston doesnt bring a lot of songs and when he does he often sticks to classic ballads structures but boi did he nailed it with that one

also covered by art garfunkel (yes, dude of simon and garfunkel)

speaking of, if i may while i’m at this, the other half, paul simon, himself covered surfer girl at a show in homage to brian wilson’s legacy and it is today i think my favorite beach boys cover, maybe:

magnificent, a touch from the sky.

the 20/20 album itself is super fun, one of the most interesting one sonically as they really try to find a new sound post pet sounds with all the new movement that was going on

it’s a banger and it’s not even a real album just a collection of b sides

but i’d prolly recommend sunflower first imo

mfs out there even getting tattoos of it this the singer of biffy clyro

@Yolko

you’ve ever read this

“Where’s the drum break in this one?”

Questlove is a fan of many, many genres of music and the artists and bands that exist within those genres too. One such group he admires is The Beach Boys.

In a new interview with Forbes, The Roots bandleader talked about the first time he heard the group’s seminal Pet Sounds album, as well as getting clowned by J Dilla for wanting to purchase the 30th anniversary box set of the album.

“Pet Sounds has always been my dirty little secret. In all our minds, especially black teenagers coming of age in the ’80s, our knowledge of The Beach Boys was that they did a song with The Fat Boys and “Kokomo.” I was dismissing it as pop music of its day,” Questlove began.

“But the day I moved to London in 1993, side one of Pet Sounds was playing at a record store. I had never heard this music in my life, but I felt like I had known those songs forever. I never had music really penetrate a layer of my soul like this. By the time I got to side two and I was hearing ‘Caroline, No’ I was like, ‘Yo, you about to cry motherf***?'”

“So the day that the Pet Sounds 30th anniversary box set came out, we were all in a store a store called Melodies & Memories — me, J Dilla, Common, Proof, and a whole bunch of east-side Detroit cats,” Quest continued. “I said, ‘Yo! I gotta have this.’ They were like, ‘Word? The Beach Boys?’ All these cats were clowning me, ‘Where’s the drum break in this one?’ But a year later I heard something on a track — it was the breakdown from ‘I know There’s An Answer.’ Dilla was like, ‘Yeah, you’re right man, they had some s*** on there.'”

Wow, hadn't heard that one, what year is that from?

Brian's lyricism is mad underrated, when he wants to he can make a super compelling song

Also hard agree Imagination is underrated
