The new Beach Boys compilation (Summer Love Songs) from Capitol includes a long out of print song written and sung by Dennis Wilson called Fallin' in Love. The song is interesting in that it foreshadows his proper solo album (Pacific Ocean Blue), which was re-released with bonus tracks to great fanfare in 2008. The word is that the song is an outtake from the Wildflower sessions. The string...
In the world of repackaging music, nobody has done more than Capitol with the Beach Boys' catalog. Every year or two, a new compilation is released and 2009 is no exception. This year, it's the 20-track Summer Love Songs which will be in stores and on the digital services on May 19 (May 18 internationally).Not wanting to make this a total rehash, Capitol is including three tracks in stereo mix...
In this post you missed, because you thought it was about Phish, which it wasn't (they were more of a tertiary character within the grand scheme of the post), I opened it up a bit about the importance of the jam in my life.How appropriate that I would come across this article by Joshua Allen at The Morning News, in which he tells us just why 2:42 is the perfect song length. Here's a snippet:"W...
I always liked the Beach Boys as a kid, a neighborhood friend had Beach Boys Party! and I especially loved their version of "Barbara Ann" on that record and their singles always brought a smile to my ears. Later when I became more of a rock fan, I was attracted to their later, more serious albums like 20/20 and especially Surf's Up. I didn't really know then about the various Wilson family in...
don't know how this one escaped me for so long. pets are on the brain as of late as many moggers have been having pet issues this past year. plus i read a brian wilson biography on the beach in mexico...strange trip that guy has been on...pet sounds is a truly groundbreaking album for it's time and a great example of brian wilson's collaberative spirit, and his use of the studio as instrument...
"We've got another famous California group here," Jerry Garcia casually announced during the middle night of the Grateful Dead's five-night run to close the Fillmore East in April 1971. "It's the Beach Boys."The group joined the Dead for five songs and played two by themselves in the middle. Like many jams before and since it didn’t really jell, though hearing Jerry Garcia’s guitar tentatively
The story goes that Dennis Wilson picked up two girls that were members of the Manson Family (before the Tate/LaBianca murders) in 1968. Manson soon moved in with a bevy of girls who acted as servants to Dennis and himself. Wilson paid for studio time for Manson to record his songs, and introduced him to Terry Melcher and Gregg Jakobson.??Never Learn Not To Love?? was originally titlesd ??Cea...

Since their original appearance on AD in 2006 I have had countless requests to re-post this 1967 recording session. So, here it is. I came upon this 1967 rehearsal about five years ago, and it has since become my favorite Beach Boys recording. All very understated and to the point. Besides saying that, I will [...]
Amazing.Dolphins save surfer from becoming shark’s baitA pod of bottlenose dolphins helped protect the severely injured boarder Surfer Todd Endris needed a miracle. The shark — a monster great white that came out of nowhere — had hit him three times, peeling the skin off his back and mauling his right leg to the bone.That’s when a pod of bottlenose dolphins intervened, forming a protective
.....I have long held that its somewhat deceitful to call this a Beach Boys Track. There's not much ensemble playing happening. But I posted this track for two (yes two) reasons. The first, of course, is to get the obligatory Bad Dylan Cover out of the way here on Sunday Under Covers. But its the second reason that warms my hearthole. On july 11th i will get to be with my whole little fami...

This song by the Beach Boys came up on the iPod yesterday, producing an unusually schizophrenic reaction, i.e.:1) This song is so bee-YOO-ti-ful2) Wow, this song is SO stupidI would venture a guess that means that Brian Wilson wrote the music and Mike Love wrote the lyrics. I mean, crying over a CAR? Come on!
