I don’t know what town your from.

Surfer guys and girls will be coming from far and near

The harmonizing on surfers rule and this chorus. This solo

mike is a piece of s*** but he sounds great at times

I feel this album is surf heavy but for what it is like it’s a California escapade for sure.

California beach escapade to be more specific.
From the instruments and atmosphere.

Like this isn’t their best album but it gives the surfer sound listen to the max.
In my room is amazing and I’m a sucker for little deuce coupe

yessir! sorry falling asleep

dude was only 20yo

it's got some top notch ballads

Too notch ballads agreed. I can definitely agree there.

curious why they used liberace's boogie for this track though, the piano fills are identical

That’s impressive and adds more to how I feel about this album because it’s mad talented for 20 yo

The Surfer girl album had some amazing ballads and production to me.

one of their better surf era projects for sure

Thx @Trouble for the session

Very agreed.

Alice Cooper has told a story about being at the 1973 (?) Grammys, sitting at a table with John Lennon and Bernie Taupin. Brian Wilson came up to the table and whispered in Alice's ear asking him to introduce him to John Lennon, so he did. "Brian, this is John Lennon. John, Brian Wilson." John told him it was a pleasure to meet him and that he and Paul thought "Pet Sounds" was the best record of all time. Brian went away, but about ten minutes later, he was back again, this time approaching Bernie Taupin and whispering something in his ear. Bernie then introduced Brian to John Lennon once again, and John told him about the same thing from ten minutes before. When Brian went away, John said something like, "I've met him hundreds of times. He's not right." (By that, he meant there was something wrong with Brian.) How true that story is, I don't know, but I certainly believe it.

Brian had someone MacGyver him a record player that only played the chorus of Be My Baby. He said Brian sat there for four hours in the pitch black just listening to the chorus and demanded the guy to leave him be when he asked if he was okay. There’s also a story about how Brian would literally put his entire face up to the speaker while the song played.

He also had this routine after his divorce where he would eat sleeves of cookies, ice cream, steak and then proceed to run around his pool and then after exhausting all his energy he’d go listen to Be My Baby or Rhapsody In Blue.

Now I’ll figure out what album I listen to later with @DonutHole and as well figure out what album to listen to solo. Thanks @Ithaka foe all the recommendations. Sleep well fam.

The Beach Boys were at one point looking for another record label and their manager at the time was having a really tough time to get them signed because Brian was just so unpredictable. So they beg Brian to come meet the guy from the label and he shows up with green paint on his face and doesn’t say a word about it. Their manager was beyond upset to say the least.

that story is most likely true if it being 1977 (the boys were there presenting an award) but definitely not 1973, whats brian doing at the grammys in 1973? he wasn’t even on beach boys records 💀

also f*** john lennon for that

apparently it's from "Catch a Wave" got no idea how reputable it is, never read the book and no clue what the sources were
