>What is your favorite Beach Boys album?
Smiley Smile

>What are your favorite Beach Boys songs?
I guess 'Til I Die is my fav atm

>Thoughts on Sunshine Tomorrow?
Wild Honey mix is eye opening, and I love the chilled out atmosphere of the Smiley Smile era live tracks. I've put Heroes and Villains rehearsal and the live version of Good Vibrations on Smiley Smile instead of the studio versions and i love listening to it.

Beatles are better and the only act impressive enough to warrant a general
Good day

Nice picks. I remember when I first heard Til I Die and was blown away. I still hope for the day that I get to hear the Til I Die demo with the original lyrics.

>>74513871
I'd disagree. They Beatles are a great band but they've been discussed to death and imo the Boys are more interesting. Beatles fans can make their own thread.

With that said, this is really nice:

A Day in the Life of a Tree is also really nice, wonder what it might have sounded with Dennis' vocal

anybody got some rare Bri's?

Lately I've been throwing on Beach Boys Party! a lot if I'm going somewhere. I've listened to the album enough that I know every conversation and ad lib, but I genuinely feel like I am in a cozy house among friends when I've got it playing.

Don't fuck with the process

I'm really digging the official release of the Honolulu 1967 concert on the Sunshine Tomorrow record. I believe it was the last time Brian ever toured with them before Landy in the 70s. He even played bass with them (I think, on the first day)

yeah I guess he did until about 83, but he also looks a bit portly here.
>Probably Marilyn, don't you think? They didn't divorce until the very end of the decade.
I would guess it was taken in a hotel from a tour, and why would Marilyn be along with them?

>>74514593
Ohhh, yeah I though you were talking about the indian picture. Yeah it is weird, and I doubt Marilyn took it given Brian's eratic behavior during that time and their separation.

I wrote this a few years ago. Thing is, I don't think I was even really trying to emulate Brian's sound. I was thinking more of The Doors when playing with the harpsichord. But after getting heavily into Pet Sounds and coming back to it I realized it does sound pretty similar.

Yeah, I was still very much in the process of learning to write music when I made that. (not like I'm still not though) But glad you liked it. And yeah, it does kinda sound similar.

On a slightly related tangent that's probably why I fell in love with Pet Sounds and Smile so heavily; it was a lot like the music I like to write. The fact that mere pop songs could be so complicated and dense and elegant is just mesmerizing.

Oh wow, I live right next to Whittier, I hear that Brian's dad had a home there.

What is everyone thoughts on Mount Vernon and Fairway: A Fairy Tale? Listened to it recently and I loved, particularly the segment where Brian does his best Eric Cartman impression. Also found similarity between the synthesisers at the beginning with one of the early tracks on Earthbound.

What is the best SMiLE mix?

This. Brian was a hack that dicked around with little noises.
