can we take a minute to appreciate daft punks tribute to the bbs?

namedropping brian wilson on the song teachers off of their first album homework:

from the booklet of homework:

the beach boys cd carefully placed in the middle isn’t some random cheap ass compilation, it’s an extra bb cd that came in the european edition of the beach boys back then first box set titled good vibrations in celebration of their 30y career (which you can imagine was very pricey)

also before even becoming daft punk they were in a band named darlin’ which they named after this amazing soulful song by the bbs:

and for last, during ram era:

“Once I saw his car in the parking lot of the studio, and I stopped and stared for two minutes at it,” said Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo. “It would be too overwhelming to meet Brian Wilson. I think I would faint. Another time in the same parking lot I saw Mick Jagger, but from the back, walking away. I didn’t get lucky.”

no summer of love

also no that’s why god made radio title song slander pls

Not until tenth grade, took wayyyy too long lmfao.

here’s a good upbeat song i love, album kinda slept on we talking a lot about post pet sounds stuff itt rn but they got gems way before that, altho the hits bangs i get around etc this one is as good as uplifting, it’s crazy they never dropped it as a single

Lou Reed in 1966:

California plastic people came up with California plastic chord changes. Which meant sticking in a Bb before your G, and after your C. Jan and Dean, the Beachboys, as opposed to Negro cooings in the East with shiny saxophones, California plastic concentrated on white twirps and falsetto chirps. (Sidewalk Surfin - the angel chorus- "shake your B. . .uns.") The cult of the celestial choir. There is no god and Brian Wilson is his son. Brian Wilson stirred up the chords. Deftly taking from all sources, old rock, Four Freshman, he got in his later records a beautiful hybrid sound, ("Let Him Run Wild," "Don't Worry Baby," "I Get Around," "Fun, Fun, Fun -- and she had fun, fun, fun till her daddy took her t-bird away"). Like demented unicorns the East went West, and, it, all, made, it. It wasn't really a long cry from such early classics as "Peppermint Stick" by the Elchords (in N.Y. there are stores which sell old rock records for as much as $500).

John Cale:

What Brian came to mean was an ideal of innocence and naivety that went beyond teenage life and sprang fully developed songs. Adult and childlike at the same time. I thought how it was difficult for me not to believe everything he said. There was something genuine in every lyric. That can be a very heavy burden for a songwriter.

John even wrote a song about Brian:

another early one from the same album i love that is by far their most beatles infused one, carl killing it on the vocals:

One of my fav Beach Boys songs, that cover is pretty nice.

Deirdre Is one of the few songs I return to on Sunflower, another being All I Wanna Do.

mmm how about this one? not sure how much you know of the bb catalogue

🤗

awman @Fantasy this one tho

bri always coming through such a mood

Not sure I like the track but I’ll give this album a listen, there’s a few I haven't heard yet.

dam, was one of the first that got me into their stuff post pet sounds

mmm if you heard sunflower and surf’s up there’s some good stuff on holland and so tough 🤔 but maybe you’ll like friends more

on a mission to find a wild card song that will blow @pneumonia ’s mind

Friends is another one I haven’t heard which is apparently pretty good. Been meaning to listen, I mostly return to The Smile Sessions.

hard to not to, i genuinely and legitimately think that smile is the highest peak of the music’s creativity mountain reach possible ever in history of mankind, quote me

but friends is super chill yes! LOVE this instrumental on it, wouldn’t be too far off smile type:

outside of friends, here’s one song i would recommend you, so this is late eighties, brian in a rough spot vocally and the production aged a bit BUT if you get pass that this is by far hands down his most ambitious piece since the smile days:

the true core of definition of a genius, who else makes songs with such strong personality and imagination?

such a comfy one

Denny's Drums

It’s the best work they’ve done imo, Brian is one of the greats.

Production on Rio Grande sounds nice, don’t mind the vocals also. Will give Friends a listen next.
