flavdave's OFFICIAL Beach Boys thread

I’d do a Beach Boys journey, except that means one day I would have to listen to Kokomo, resulting in nearly my least favorite song getting stuck in my head for months - I won’t do it!

Stop after Beach Boys Love You (1977) and you'll be fine. The rest is horse shit.

Thoughts on the Brian Wilson Smile redux, WCT?

My hot take is that the live performance I saw was one of the more joyous musical experiences of my life, but that the record sounds like shit.

Are you talking about the re-recording or the re-constructed original?

I was at the Glenside performance and I would give my left nut for a bootleg.

This is the way this song should have been recorded. This is the same choir (Double Rock Baptist Choir) that's featured on Dennis Wilson's "River Song."

RIP Brian Wilson

I hope flavdave is holding up - he was one of the good ones.

This is karmic balance for Grizzly Bear touring again.

I've just listened to the Spanish version of "Kokomo" for the first time and it is truly hilarious

Brian is on it!
