	♥ 11:15am Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @11:13 I think the heat index had to be invented to put NOLA in perspective.
	11:16am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:15 people who look at anything else other than the index are kidding themselves.
	11:16am ?: ↳ Song: "How High The Moon" by "Les Paul" Masterful playing..he was the best. I had a friend who now owns a recording studio out in CO who used to hang with Les. Take him food shopping etc. Pals.
	♥ 11:16am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "Is That Love?" by "Squeeze" I think it can be said with a certain definitiveness that "Argybargy" was Squeeze's finest hour.
	11:17am ScottinDenver: Just to rub it in it’s currently 58 degrees in Red Cliff CO. High of 70. Heh heh heh…
	11:18am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ drr @11:13 37% here today, oddly dry for Lincoln.

	♥ 11:21am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:20 Clarke, you handed me a P.F. Sloan at a bargain price at Euclid and said you must buy this. Good times!
	11:21am tgrace55: Wonder if Brian and Mike thought this was funny
	11:21am listener phat in Lincoln: Are they saying "Texas to Nebraska?"
	11:21am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:21 never go wrong widdat!
	11:22am clarke: ↳ tgrace55 @11:21 as funny as chuck berry thought about mike and brian
	11:23am tgrace55: Fair enough! Hahaha
	11:24am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "When I Start Drinking" by "Vernon Wray" Proto No Depression, lol

	11:26am clarke: ↳ Song: "Big Mouth" by "Fats Donimo" great bass line!
	♥ 11:26am egould: ↳ Song: "When I Start Drinking" by "Vernon Wray" When I start drinking, it's a Tito's and grapefruit juice. Don't mind if I do. Cheers!
	11:27am gf2002: ↳ tgrace55 @11:21 Brian was all for promoting other surf music acts, he said he helped write songs like Surf City for Jan & Dean in order to boost and promote surf music as a viable commercial entity, and despite his dad being very upset at him "giving away" his songs, Brian did it to help promote the genre and other acts. Brian was right...
	11:28am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:27 yes, you are correct, and also brian and pf sloan were buddies at one time - not sure that lasted, but yeah.
	11:28am Moammar: Nothing is more antithetical to the idea of rock and roll than a hall of fame. I shun and abhor it.
	11:29am rx "rexy" scabin: @clarke it is the height of berry season here. At least a quart per person per day.
	11:29am clarke: ↳ rx "rexy" scabin @11:29 nice!! berry nice!!
	11:30am ScottinDenver: I lost respect for the RARHOF when Wayne Newton wasn’t nominated.
	♥ 11:30am common: really enjoyed the pee-wee doc.
	11:30am clarke: that has become such a documentary cliche, by now.
	11:31am gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:28 That whole scene especially around 63-64 in LA was a lot more tight knit than I think a lot of people realize. They were always hanging around the studios and lending a hand to each others' sessions and songs. Very cool. I forget who it was but someone who was recording with Spector said they remembered Brian Wilson one time riding through Gold Star on a skateboard while Phil was cutting a record. Loads of stories like that, Brian was essentially watching and learning how to cut records by hanging around just observing
	♥ 11:32am Hughie Considine: ↳ common @11:30 Me too. I had forgotten some of his later travails. Kinda tragic!
	11:32am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:31 hope you have the awesome tome: Surfin' Guitars: The Story Of Surf Music. the bible!
	♥ 11:33am Hoboken Jack: Good day Michael, not-signed-in Baby, Clarke, Fred & Alan, everybody!!
	11:33am Officer Pupp: This sounds so like Yo La Tengo channelling Belle and Sebastian.
	11:33am gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:32 That will be near the top of my list, I do not have that yet - thanks for the tip!
	11:34am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:33 it's by Robert J. Dalley - worth every cent!!
	♥ 11:34am Hughie Considine: Carol Kaye just thumbed her nose at the Rock Hall of Fame.
	11:34am clarke: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:33 Count Jackula!! good day, sir!
	11:37am gf2002: The Rock HOF can pound sand. The first few years were pretty spot on, but it turned into something so far removed from actual rock and roll, it's a travesty. And I'm also biased because of The Monkees and the total disdain the "board voters" have for them and will not allow them in.
	11:39am Edward: There is only one good thing about the RRHOF and I mean only. That is that being inducted meant a lot to many of the early pioneers, many of whom were badly exploited in their day or had careers that didn’t go so well after the hits ran out. It meant a lot to them to know they wouldn’t be forgotten. As for the rest, it’s all a joke and almost all of those people are dead by now anyway, so torch it.
	11:39am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:34 she has a well-thumbed nose.
	11:39am gf2002: Although I will say for the Rock HOF...Prince playing a surprise guitar solo on While My Guitar Gently Weeps is pretty amazing. But even that was like 20 years ago...
	♥ 11:40am Hoboken Jack: ↳ Song: "I Can't Believe What You Say" by "Ike And Tina Tu... I can't believe what you say about two drum kits!
	11:41am clarke: believe!
	♥ 11:41am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:39 Very true - but I thought her criticisms were spot-on, unlike some other stuff she's said.
	11:41am ScottinDenver: I read that Prince did that extended solo because none of the guitar player magazines and general Media would never acknowledge his playing. I always appreciated his playing above all else.
	11:42am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:41 ha ha ha. like hal blaine was not a good drummer?
	♥ 11:42am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:42 In the words of the aforementioned Chuck Berry, "Oh Carol!"
	11:43am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:42 but she did extoll Earl Palmer - so only half-bad!
	11:44am gf2002: ↳ ScottinDenver @11:41 Prince was a total monster on guitar, I know he wasn't acknowledged as much for that until later in his life. He was a fantastic rhythm player too, not just lead. One of the better players of the past 50 years actually, and he sold records too!
	11:46am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:42 I've often wondered what there beef actually was.
	11:46am Michael Shelley: ↳ clarke @11:42 She really HATES Hal - HATES the name "The Wrecking Crew"
	11:46am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Now And Always" by "Rockpile" Good grief, this is good.
	11:46am clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:46 among many things.
	11:46am gf2002: Carol's commentaries through the years range from spot-on to "WTF?", but it wasn't a good look for her when she started to attack Hal Blaine's drumming. Not cool.
	11:46am Michael Shelley: WORTH READING: pleasekillme.com...
	11:47am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:46 yes it is!
	11:48am PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Now And Always" by "Rockpile" Flying their Everlys flag proudly
	11:49am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:46 hal definitely said SOMEthing to piss carol off, but jeez... tell the truth!!
	11:49am PC77: ↳ Song: "Now And Always" by "Rockpile" Love me some Rockpile! ♥
	♥ 11:50am Hoboken Jack: No pressure, folks, but any cats that are not adopted by the end of the event are put in the burlap sack with a brick and tossed in the Hudson.
	♥ 11:51am egould: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:46 Thanks, Micheal!
	♥ 11:51am prof.fuzz: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:50 i heard they would be put in a sack and given to unattended children, along with a six pack of red bull...
	♥ 11:52am egould: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:50 It's even worse than that. media1.giphy.com...
	11:53am gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:49 I've followed Carol online for 20+ years, and there was a lot of controversy around the whole Standing In The Shadows of Motown book/documentary/etc, and Carol claiming to have played on some Motown sessions held in LA that were actually Jamerson's sessions in Detroit, and the author Alan Slutsky even had session tapes for some of those sessions where Carol was not there in the studio. So Carol doubled down on her claims, and her answer was usually "look at the AFM contracts" and they were sometimes for different artists covering the Motown songs. Anyway it was sad to watch, and I think Hal at some point made some comments on those claims and the feud was begun. I'm sure it's more than that, but that was what was public at least
	11:53am clarke: FuZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
	♥ 11:53am Hoboken Jack: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:51 Hey Prof! That may be accurate.
	♥ 11:53am Hoboken Jack: ↳ egould @11:52 Those were the good old days
	11:54am listener phat in Lincoln: Most hotels are all kind of the same these days
	♥ 11:55am prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @11:53 ClarkEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
	11:55am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:53 yeah, and basically all hal was saying is lighten up and tell the truth. ha ha.
	11:56am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:54 yeah: lousy!
	11:57am clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:55 art show today??
	11:57am Michael Shelley: ↳ gf2002 @11:53 She badmouthed Slutsky during our FMU interview - and he called the station several time - talked to Ken - DEMANDING a "retraction."
	11:57am gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:55 That's pretty much it. Carol had basically an "enemies list" and Hal ended up near the top of that list. It's a shame because Carol's credits are simply amazing and she is an amazing musician with literally hundreds of well-known records to her credit. But that Motown thing was another really bad look.
	11:57am Edward: I'm sorry. I can't help it. I cannot stand Lucinda's vocals in any way. Affected, off-key, miserable. Hate me now.
	11:58am clarke: a well-thumbed nose.
	♥ 11:58am prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @11:57 art tomorrow. album release shows next friday in fort worth and saturday in dallas. then more art next sunday.
	11:58am clarke: ↳ Edward @11:57 well, i've heard the SAME comments about dylan for decades, so...
	11:59am clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:58 the van's a rockin'!!
	11:59am Michael Shelley: ↳ Edward @11:57 you're allowed
	11:59am George Kopp: Good (barely still) morning, all!
	♥ 11:59am prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @11:58 and neil young too
	♥ 12:00pm Jimmy Wipper: Recorded two blocks away from my house! Southern Blend were big fans of Jimmy Soul, from what I hear.
	12:00pm Edward: ↳ clarke @11:58 Yeah, but those people are just bores. You gotta admit, you rarely hear someone complain about Lucinda Williams.
	12:00pm PatrickMC: ↳ Edward @11:57 That is funny because it was Steve's very up front, high octane twang that was a little off for me
	12:00pm clarke: ↳ Jimmy Wipper @12:00 whippaaaah!! i won!
	♥ 12:00pm Jimmy Wipper: ↳ clarke @12:00 We ALL win in the house of #1 hits!
	12:00pm clarke: ↳ Edward @12:00 ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
	12:01pm clarke: ↳ Jimmy Wipper @12:00 i think you're drunk!
	♥ 12:01pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:00 you left out the FU
	12:01pm ledzeppelinsucks: There is a Long-haired June Beetle on my porch. Yesterday I saw a Red-winged blackbird, both in Anacortes and allegedly common. Both first sightings.
	12:01pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:01 implied
	12:01pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "I Guess Things Happen That Way" by "Jimmy Soul" The Norfolk Sound is crazy. I didn't know about this. I love it. Those vocals are ridiculously hot.
	♥ 12:01pm Jimmy Wipper: ↳ clarke @12:01 Working on it!
	12:02pm clarke: ↳ Jimmy Wipper @12:01 then YOU win!
	12:02pm rx "rexy" scabin: Thank you, Michael and Everyone. I must goto my older daughter's birthday party. She made sesame cold noodles for 60, among other things.
	♥ 12:02pm Frank In Queens: And HEY NOW!
	12:03pm Tim from Lake Hopatcong: I listened to the podcast yesterday, great stuff Michael!
	12:03pm clarke: he shoots he scores!!!
	12:03pm listener phat in Lincoln: I love Lucinda Williams. I'm actually not a big Dylan fan, and I keep trying.
	♥ 12:04pm egould: ↳ ledzeppelinsucks @12:01 It's turning out to be a fine Summer, after all.
	12:05pm listener phat in Lincoln: Williams's tour with John Doe is a highlight memory of mine.
	♥ 12:05pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:02 frank!
	♥ 12:05pm Greg from ZONE 5: Afternoon, gang!
	12:05pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:02 not goin' to phillie tonight??
	12:06pm clarke: hello gregory!!
	♥ 12:06pm Frank In Queens: ↳ clarke @12:05 I was there last weekend.
	12:06pm listener phat in Lincoln: Who wants to go to work for me?
	12:06pm Edward: During the 90s I was in an online discussion board dedicated to Frank Sinatra. Carol Kaye briefly joined it (she played on some of his stuff) and quickly offended the hell out of everyone. For one thing the guy who started it had a sideline in bootleg CDs (remember them?) of Sinatra. She totally read him and all bootlegs for total filth and was NOT diplomatic about it. She also spun fantastic, paranoid tales of the sheerly evil methods by which bootleggers obtained their material. But, eh, some pretty sweet bass parts on PET SOUNDS, no?
	12:06pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:06 cool!
	♥ 12:07pm Hoboken Jack: Hi Greg and Frank!
	12:08pm clarke: no Squints today?? - GGY!!
	♥ 12:08pm drr: ↳ PatrickMC @12:00 My first thought is he sounded like Christopher Guest making fun of somebody. Lucinda sometimes sounds like she's making fun of herself.
	12:09pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:02 HEY NOW!
	12:09pm Scott from Boston: I think it was love boat… Not love bug! But maybe you’re right?
	12:09pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Tim from Lake Hopatcong @12:03 THANKS!
	♥ 12:09pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ Tim from Lake Hopatcong @12:03 Hey Tim! Windlass season?
	12:12pm clarke: @Jimmy Whipper (if still around): so that studio was in Va Beach??

	12:13pm Bob: Good afternoon. Coming in way late. In my defense I was making homemade sourdough english muffins.
	♥ 12:13pm Jimmy Wipper: ↳ clarke @12:12 No, it's in Norfolk. Hence the Norfolk Sound!
	12:13pm clarke: hello bob.
	♥ 12:13pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: ↳ Song: "In The Jailhouse Now" by "Sir Douglas Quintet" This is great!
	12:14pm clarke: ↳ Jimmy Wipper @12:13 i thought that was what you meant!
	12:14pm clarke: ↳ Jimmy Wipper @12:13 Uzzle Street is a lonnnng street!
	♥ 12:14pm Jimmy Wipper: ↳ clarke @12:12 Or it was in Norfolk. Now it's some townhouses. Sadly.
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ Jimmy Wipper @12:14 sadly like everything else.
	12:15pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Ice Cold Daydream" by "Shuggie Otis" Ooh shoulda been s hit
	♥ 12:16pm Jimmy Wipper: ↳ clarke @12:15 Though we did have a homecoming show for Swamp Dogg a few weeks ago. All is not lost...yet.
	♥ 12:16pm egould: ↳ Song: "Ice Cold Daydream" by "Shuggie Otis" Was that Jimmy Page on guitar?
	12:16pm clarke: ↳ Jimmy Wipper @12:16 but it is headed thatta way! nice for the remnants!!
	12:17pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Guys And Dolls" by "Frank Sinatra" Hot damn
	♥ 12:17pm drr: Guys and Dolls...some of the greatest show tunes, and a couple of the worst.
	♥ 12:17pm Jimmy Wipper: ↳ clarke @12:16 Yes, it's headed that way! You take what little you can get these days.
	♥ 12:18pm Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "Guys And Dolls" by "Frank Sinatra" All my theater friends pushed me to audition for Guys & Dolls in college, but I was too a-scared :(
	12:18pm clarke: ↳ Jimmy Wipper @12:17 this is the new dept.
	12:18pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Guys And Dolls" by "Frank Sinatra" I’ve got the weakness.
	♥ 12:18pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: ↳ PatrickMC @12:00 Mr Sweet Corn and I both thought there was something off about the whole song. Another Lucinda hater here.
	12:18pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Bob @12:13 wish you could put photos with the comments
	♥ 12:19pm Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @12:17 "Adelaide's Lament" in the good category.
	♥ 12:19pm Frank In Queens: ↳ drr @12:17 They're all the worst 😂
	♥ 12:19pm Mister Dobalina: Tickling pink...that sounds funny.
	12:19pm Michael Shelley: ↳ egould @12:16 Shuggie!
	12:20pm listener phat in Lincoln: Vitalis and Barbasol..
	12:20pm Bob: People hate Lucinda Williams? I really don't know what to say about that
	12:21pm Michael Shelley: Some people think the world is flat
	♥ 12:21pm drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:19 Oh, no, no; it hurts my ears. "If I Were A Bell" is one of my favorite songs in any genre, just a top track.
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:21 i think the world is flat-wound!
	♥ 12:22pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:21 i wish flatwounds were a lot cheaper
	12:22pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Yesterday" by "Televisionaires" They are super live
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:22 yahhhhh!
	12:23pm clarke: feel flows, MS!!
	12:24pm PatrickMC: Everyone's older sibling had a copy of Endless Summer in the 70s
	♥ 12:24pm Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @12:21 Haha! No accounting for taste. I'll have to give If I Were a Bell a re-listen.
	12:25pm Bridget: That concert with Stanky Brown was my first ever concert!
	♥ 12:25pm drr: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:19 "Fugue for Tinhorns"? "Sit Down, You're Rockin' The Boat"? Those are marvelous!
	12:27pm Bob: Those twofer CD's are amazing. Holland is still my favorite next to only Pet Sounds. Did anyone else spend the last two weeks defending Mike Love?
	♥ 12:27pm drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:24 sorry, it "hoits" my ears.
	12:27pm George Kopp: Saw the Beach Boys at Symphony Hall, Newark in '67. Still have the tour book.
	♥ 12:27pm Mike Sin: Cranking it up at the beach with the new solar-powered speaker!
	12:28pm Andres: Don’t mess up, don’t mess up. Love that!
	12:28pm clarke: ↳ Mike Sin @12:27 don't mess up!
	♥ 12:28pm Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @12:27 You need to hear Lucinda Williams cover it.
	12:28pm tgrace55: Love friends
	♥ 12:28pm egould: Saw the Beach Boys at the Indiana State Fair in August 1983.
	12:29pm Edward: ↳ Bob @12:20 If you want to hear a vocal performance so bad it will literally make you laugh, check out her cover of Lou Reed's "Legendary Hearts."
	12:29pm ledzeppelinsucks: I heard an interview on WFMU, maybe Mikey Love was mentioned in spiking acid on a guy and taking him on a suicidal motorcycle ride and going berserk inside of a cruising airplane beating passengers and destroying the plane.
	12:30pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Busy Doin' Nothin'" by "Beach Boys, The" Such an amazing song
	12:30pm Lorraine: Hi Mike. I feel sorry for you. You think The Beach Boys are more interesting to listen to than the Beatles. That really is sad. You are missing out on so much.
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ PatrickMC @12:30 just the drum part alone...
	12:31pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Bob @12:27 Mike is problematic - but why did people feel the need to bring him into Brian's death ? Weird.
	♥ 12:31pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Edward @12:29 It would be tough to cover that song under the best of circumstances.
	♥ 12:31pm drr: ↳ Edward @12:29 Another astonishingly bad Lou Reed cover is "Perfect Day" by Luciano Pavarotti (and Lou Reed). So awful. Also LP's eyebrows are dancing around on his forehead; the whole performance feels like a John Candy skit. Had he lived longer, I'm sure it would have been.
	12:31pm gf2002: There will never be another musician like Brian Wilson. My opinion, he's the greatest American songwriter of the 20th Century. No one used chords and harmony like he did. How fortunate were we to be alive and to actually see him on stage performing his music? Beyond category.
	♥ 12:32pm egould: ↳ drr @12:31 Ha!
	12:32pm clarke: ↳ Lorraine @12:30 i'm pretty sure that was a thoughtful personal decision.
	12:32pm Edward: Weirdly enough, Mike Love was the one of the group who went to the most racially integrated high school, and he was the biggest R&B nut.
	12:33pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:31 everything was about FEEL - that's the genius, there.
	♥ 12:33pm Frank In Queens: ↳ drr @12:25 Just not a fan of the genre.
	♥ 12:33pm JG: ↳ gf2002 @12:31 I agree. an all time great composer and an all time great band.
	12:33pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Lorraine @12:30 GRRRRRR
	♥ 12:33pm Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @12:31 The fact that his favorite song was "Shortnin' Bread" just adds to the mystery of true genius.
	12:34pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Can't Wait Too Long" by "Beach Boys, The" wow. Luv this. Hi Michael, hi All!
	12:34pm tgrace55: This song blew my mind on the smiley smile + wild honey two fer CD
	12:35pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:33 [shrugging emoji]
	12:35pm PatrickMC: ↳ Lorraine @12:30 The? Beatles?
	12:35pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Can't Wait Too Long" by "Beach Boys, The" Carl
	12:35pm DG: Saw Brian for the first time on his first solo tour, in '99, at the Beacon, NYC....I think I was the youngest person there, & I was around 40. Also wrote a profile on him around that time, but didn't get much from the phone interview with him, mostly one sentence answerrs (or less)....I know this was a common thing w/him. I will mention that "That Lucky Old Sun" is a worthwhile solo album, as opposed to the last, embarrassing one he did (& the last song is called "The Last Song," sadly enough).
	♥ 12:35pm DaveMiß: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:33 Hey Michael Shelley! Clarke & Drr!
	♥ 12:36pm egould: ↳ PatrickMC @12:35 I always click on your avatar. Cracks me up every time. :-)
	12:36pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:33 Brian's genius was also what I call the "X Factor" of making records. How his music managed to be personal and unique to whoever was listening and willing to accept what he was sending out through his music. It felt like a big hug from a friend when you needed it. And I don't think anyone has come close to capturing those feelings through a recording like Brian. Listen to that intro of California Girls - it's the sound of a beautiful early morning sunrise at the start of a perfect day. No one can touch that.
	12:36pm tgrace55: Love this ending
	12:36pm clarke: ↳ DaveMiß @12:35 Misster Miss!! howdy!
	12:36pm Bob: Mike Love is problematic but who isn't? It was very weird that 75% of all posts on Brian seemed to be an opening to hate Mike. If my uncle sold my legacy away from me for peanuts, I'd be problematic too. In any case, without Mike being out there keeping it alive every summer for decades, who knows if they wouldn't just be a cult band with some early hits and loved by only record nerds.
	12:37pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Girl Don't Tell Me" by "Beach Boys, The" THIS might just be IT!
	♥ 12:37pm egould: ↳ Song: "Girl Don't Tell Me" by "Beach Boys, The" Ok. This my favoritist Beach Boys song. Then, 'God Only Knows'.
	♥ 12:37pm drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:28 I'm not firmly in the hater camp with Lucinda, she seems like a cool person mostly. But I had to google a little bit to figure out which one of her songs it is I really do not like--and it is "Righteously". Just reading the lyrics (genius.com...) I can hear the way the rhymes get more and more affected and loopy...
	12:38pm gf2002: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:33 He used to play that riff on the piano to clear his mind and get his ideas flowing, that one and other simple boogie-woogie piano licks to almost hypnotize himself...and then the ideas would flow.
	♥ 12:38pm drr: ↳ egould @12:37 Apparently the last BBs studio recording to feature any BBs playing instruments.
	12:38pm DG: I like this one too....quite the Beatles influence here....to be um, diplomatic.
	12:38pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:36 i think one reason that many were not more 'reverential' is that brian kinda disappeared a few years prior to his passing; therefore, people expected it. to me, it came as a 'relief', in a way. no more suffering and not making music!
	♥ 12:39pm drr: ↳ DaveMiß @12:35 Morning, Miß!
	12:40pm clarke: thanks michael for all this!! and that, too!
	12:41pm Edward: ↳ clarke @12:38 Yeah. Between the love of his life dying last year and then his dementia...It seemed kind of possible to say he's in a better place now, though I don't literally believe the dead are anyplace.
	♥ 12:41pm JG: SOme nice deep cuts here
	♥ 12:41pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Beach Boys on my island too.
	12:41pm DG: ↳ clarke @12:38 Yes, they'd announced he had dementia a few years ago, & he stopped doing shows around '22 (?) or so. I wasn't totally surprised by the news, but it was also tragic how he outlived everyone important in his life: not just parents, but his brothers & 2nd wife. I assume Carnie & Wendy (& maybe the other kids) control the estate now.
	12:41pm clarke: ↳ Edward @12:41 totally! RIP, literally!
	♥ 12:41pm egould: ↳ egould @12:37 Or maybe: 1. Girl Don't Tell Me 2. Wendy 3. God Only Knows But where do I slot 'In My Room'? Aw hell, I love them all!
	12:41pm PatrickMC: ↳ gf2002 @12:38 Which apparently led to Ding Dang which is also pretty awesome
	♥ 12:42pm drr: ↳ Song: "The Little Girl That I Once Knew" by "Beach Boys,... this bass line and bass sound...
	♥ 12:42pm prof.fuzz: happy happy go skate day to those who celebrate!
	12:42pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:42 there ya go!!!
	12:42pm Michael Shelley: IF YOURE INTERESTED IN A DEEP DIVE: Brian Wilson I only had five minutes www.wfmu.org... Mike Love - had limited time. Was flabbergasted at the blow back from anti-Mike people who thought I was "too easy" on him: www.wfmu.org... Al Jardine Al really wanted to promo his new release, but we still got some quality Beach Boy q&a in wfmu.org... David Marks From July 2007 (I think this is the best of the 3 w/ David) www.wfmu.org... Billy Hinsche Played in the touring BBs & Brian's band and his sister married Carl & we cover his years in Dino, Desi & Billy www.wfmu.org... Hal Blaine Drummer on so many great BB tracks www.wfmu.org... Rocky Pamplin Brian's bodyguard, who had an affair w/ Brian's wife - I found out he is a mostly disliked character in BB fan world www.wfmu.org... David Leaf - author wfmu.org... John Cowsill BB drummer, though this is mostly about his family band The Cowsills www.wfmu.org... Carol Kaye Bass player on a Pet Sounds, etc www.wfmu.org... Ron Altbach 70s/80s Touring keyboard guy (in the Mike Love camp) - also plays that sweet electric piano into to "Dancin' In The Moonlight" by King Harvest www.wfmu.org... Blondie Chapman 100% unprepared interview... I was in the middle of my radio show and Blondie's manager called me and said Blondie (who sounds possibly tipsy to me) had a nearby gig that night, and did I want to talk with him... sure. www.wfmu.org... Carli Munoz Touring BB band member and Dennis Wilson collaborator www.wfmu.org... David Marks 2012 - can't really remember - we must be talking about the upcoming reunion shows www.wfmu.org... David Lee Marks 2008 www.wfmu.org... James Murphy author of "Becoming The Beach Boys" www.wfmu.org... Co-Author of “The Beach Boys in Concert” Ian Rusten www.wfmu.org...

My newest chat with Carol Kaye: pleasekillme.com...
	12:42pm DG: "Dead people are free from pain, you know"----that line at the end of "Nashville." Gets me every time. (Also, "Little Girl..." was the opening song at Brian's first solo NYC show.)
	12:42pm PatrickMC: ↳ egould @12:36 TY, it's confessional. ;)
	12:42pm clarke: THIS IS THAT!
	♥ 12:42pm DaveMiß: Is anyone gonna talk about his obsession with shortenin Bread?
	12:43pm gf2002: And a funny Brian story with Shortnin Bread was when he invited Alice Cooper and Iggy Pop back to his house after hanging out in LA, and Brian got behind the piano and started to play Shortnin Bread. He gave Iggy and Alice vocal parts to sing as Brian sang lead and played...and it went on and on for over half an hour. Iggy finally got up and left, saying it was too weird, and Brian just kept playing. He had a wicked sense of humor that people didn't get sometimes. So yes, Brian freaked out Iggy and Alice, quite an accomplishment!
	♥ 12:43pm drr: ↳ PatrickMC @12:41 and don't forget "Rockin' Down The Gosh-Darned Highway".
	♥ 12:43pm pgalub: ↳ Song: "The Little Girl That I Once Knew" by "Beach Boys,... Fave intro of all time. Hi everyone
	♥ 12:43pm Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @12:37 Can't argue with you on that one. No one would mistake it for a short story, as people said about her songs from an earlier era. But I dig Car Wheels and the first EP and LP quite a lot.
	12:43pm clarke: ↳ DaveMiß @12:42 see above!
	12:44pm annette: whut...no nrbq retro...
	♥ 12:44pm DaveMiß: ↳ clarke @12:43 Copy captain
	12:44pm tgrace55: Yes little pad! Just incredible
	12:44pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "Little Pad" by "Beach Boys, The" One of my favorite melodies of all time...the wordless part with uke strumming in the back. Brilliant
	♥ 12:44pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ pgalub @12:43 PEEEEEEETE, Mike Sin, George!
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ pgalub @12:43 hey pete!! howya!!??
	12:45pm BambiKinoHQ: "Little Pad" = greatest recording of a bong hit ever
	12:45pm Jim macnie: Gorgeous. Thx M.
	♥ 12:45pm prof.fuzz: ↳ gf2002 @12:43 too bad lux interior was not at that party...
	12:45pm Michael Shelley: ↳ BambiKinoHQ @12:45 LOL
	12:46pm Michael Shelley: ↳ annette @12:44 why?
	♥ 12:46pm drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:43 First LW I heard was excellent; it was "Passionate Kisses" done by a wonderful Knoxville band called the Taoist Cowboys, who cleverly never mentioned it was a cover, so I really respected their songwriting, it sounded like a hit.
	12:46pm gf2002: ↳ PatrickMC @12:41 For years when Brian saw Roger McGuinn, he'd yell to him "Hey Roger, Ding Dang!". McGuinn co-wrote it
	12:46pm George Kopp: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:44 Yo Jack! Seen any shows lately??
	12:46pm PatrickMC: Still time for Johnny Carson
	♥ 12:46pm pgalub: JAAAAACK! Hey clarke. I'm just beachy.
	♥ 12:46pm Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @12:43 So it's fair to say that the song both helped clear his head out and also he was also obsessed with it.
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ pgalub @12:46 pete, you catch Martin's latest post - new album in the works! wow! prolific!
	♥ 12:47pm pgalub: ↳ clarke @12:46 Nice!!
	12:47pm annette: loved all music growing up thru my years. but tired of radio wearing out so much stuff.
	♥ 12:47pm Bracelet: everyone! adopt a cat!
	♥ 12:48pm drr: ↳ PatrickMC @12:46 ...he's a real live wire. Truer words were never spoken.
	12:48pm tgrace55: Our prayer and cabinessence at the end of 20/20 blew my mind first listen, then imagine when I stumbled across the smile sessions
	12:48pm clarke: ↳ pgalub @12:47 what beach are ye on??
	♥ 12:48pm Pedro in Arlington: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:42 Just copied and emailed myself all this linky goodness, Michael. God, I wish I had bought the $100 Brian bust that used to be sold on his website. Dang.
	♥ 12:48pm Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @12:46 Which of course it became for Mary Chapin Carpenter. The self-titled LP has a few could-been hits like that.
	12:49pm annette: @bracelet. . . at this age wasnt looking for another feline. but we gonna live our lives
	12:50pm gf2002: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:46 Yes. Obsessed with Shortnin Bread which turned up in numerous songs he wrote, obsessed with Proud Mary which he recorded many times through the years, and probably most obsessed with Be My Baby. When I saw him on his first solo tour, and he and that amazing band played Be My Baby, it was overwhelming. The impossible came true.
	12:50pm Andres: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:42 Wow! Deep deep deep dive! Awesome!
	♥ 12:50pm Bracelet: ↳ annette @12:49 furever until 4pm @monty hall
	12:51pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Till I Die" by "Beach Boys, The" this is THAT!
	♥ 12:51pm Uncle Traveling Matt: This set is the best tribute I’ve heard. Thank you, Michael.
	♥ 12:51pm Jimmy Wipper: Wonderful tribute, Michael. No such thing as too much Brian Wilson.
	12:51pm clarke: ↳ Jimmy Wipper @12:51 truth!
	12:51pm Dennis: Beautiful job on this list, Michael💖
	12:52pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "Till I Die" by "Beach Boys, The" Listen to the falsetto "until I die" exactly when the song changes to the ending coda...one of the most beautiful and saddest vocal notes I've ever heard. It was the last hurrah of younger Brian's amazing voice from the 60's. Crushing.
	12:52pm annette: appreciate your hearts. but gotta leave. too much.
	12:52pm gf2002: It was right there. No one makes records like this, no one ever will again.
	12:53pm PatrickMC: ↳ Dennis @12:51 One for the ages
	12:53pm tgrace55: Ending coda could go on forever
	12:53pm PC77: ↳ Song: "Time to Get Alone" by "Beach Boys, The" This is heart wrenching.
	12:54pm clarke: awesome show!! as usuals.
	12:54pm Marie in Chicago: Thank's Michael! It's super nice to hear your Beach Boys selections.
	12:54pm PC77: (Til I Die)
	12:54pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "Time to Get Alone" by "Beach Boys, The" Listen to how he recorded a different keyboard instrument on every beat of this waltz...brilliant production.
	♥ 12:54pm Bracelet: I moved out west and between freeform KALX and the WFMU streams this week has just been non-stop sorrow and joy celebrating Brian Wilson
	12:55pm Bob: Great tribute, Michael. Dave the Spazz did a great one last week too with some guests, including Dennis Diken. Some great, first-hand stories.
	♥ 12:55pm Hoboken Jack: Really nice tribute, Michael -- thank you!
	♥ 12:56pm Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @12:50 Great that you were there to witness it!
	12:56pm tgrace55: Remember the day remember the night, all day long. This gets stuck in my head all of the time
	12:56pm ScottinDenver: Another great show. Thanks MS.
	♥ 12:57pm egould: Thanks Michael! Another gem of a show.
	12:57pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:42 Thanks for the links, M. Ur swell. @)
	12:57pm tgrace55: Some fun alternate takes of whistle in on the sunshine tomorrow collection that came out a few years ago
	♥ 12:57pm drr: Good!
	12:57pm Bob: Spazz played Melt Away from that first solo album. I'd forgotten how good that song was. Highlight of the Landy years.
	12:58pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: Wonderful song choices. This is the first time I have been listening to any Brian Wilson-related music after his passing and I gotta admit I have cried some. Such beautiful music that will live long after we have gone. Thanks!
	♥ 12:58pm Hughie Considine: Great stuff, Michael! Have a fine day, all -- stay hydrated and keep playing number one hits!
	12:58pm gf2002: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:56 A beautiful and fitting tribute.
	12:59pm clarke: ever get the feelin' you bean beated? good nite.
	1:00pm Bob: Tossing carrots to everyone for the week
	1:00pm gf2002: When you're up early enough to catch a sunrise, play that intro to California Girls as the soundtrack and it all makes sense :)
	♥ 1:00pm Bracelet: mmmmmmhm

	11:27am gf2002: ↳ tgrace55 @11:21 Brian was all for promoting other surf music acts, he said he helped write songs like Surf City for Jan & Dean in order to boost and promote surf music as a viable commercial entity, and despite his dad being very upset at him "giving away" his songs, Brian did it to help promote the genre and other acts. Brian was right...
	11:28am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:27 yes, you are correct, and also brian and pf sloan were buddies at one time - not sure that lasted, but yeah.
	11:28am Moammar: Nothing is more antithetical to the idea of rock and roll than a hall of fame. I shun and abhor it.

	♥ 11:30am common: really enjoyed the pee-wee doc.
	11:30am clarke: that has become such a documentary cliche, by now.
	11:31am gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:28 That whole scene especially around 63-64 in LA was a lot more tight knit than I think a lot of people realize. They were always hanging around the studios and lending a hand to each others' sessions and songs. Very cool. I forget who it was but someone who was recording with Spector said they remembered Brian Wilson one time riding through Gold Star on a skateboard while Phil was cutting a record. Loads of stories like that, Brian was essentially watching and learning how to cut records by hanging around just observing
	♥ 11:32am Hughie Considine: ↳ common @11:30 Me too. I had forgotten some of his later travails. Kinda tragic!
	11:32am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:31 hope you have the awesome tome: Surfin' Guitars: The Story Of Surf Music. the bible!
	♥ 11:33am Hoboken Jack: Good day Michael, not-signed-in Baby, Clarke, Fred & Alan, everybody!!
	11:33am Officer Pupp: This sounds so like Yo La Tengo channelling Belle and Sebastian.
	11:33am gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:32 That will be near the top of my list, I do not have that yet - thanks for the tip!
	11:34am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:33 it's by Robert J. Dalley - worth every cent!!
	♥ 11:34am Hughie Considine: Carol Kaye just thumbed her nose at the Rock Hall of Fame.
	11:34am clarke: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:33 Count Jackula!! good day, sir!
	11:37am gf2002: The Rock HOF can pound sand. The first few years were pretty spot on, but it turned into something so far removed from actual rock and roll, it's a travesty. And I'm also biased because of The Monkees and the total disdain the "board voters" have for them and will not allow them in.
	11:39am Edward: There is only one good thing about the RRHOF and I mean only. That is that being inducted meant a lot to many of the early pioneers, many of whom were badly exploited in their day or had careers that didn’t go so well after the hits ran out. It meant a lot to them to know they wouldn’t be forgotten. As for the rest, it’s all a joke and almost all of those people are dead by now anyway, so torch it.
	11:39am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:34 she has a well-thumbed nose.
	11:39am gf2002: Although I will say for the Rock HOF...Prince playing a surprise guitar solo on While My Guitar Gently Weeps is pretty amazing. But even that was like 20 years ago...
	♥ 11:40am Hoboken Jack: ↳ Song: "I Can't Believe What You Say" by "Ike And Tina Tu... I can't believe what you say about two drum kits!
	11:41am clarke: believe!
	♥ 11:41am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:39 Very true - but I thought her criticisms were spot-on, unlike some other stuff she's said.
	11:41am ScottinDenver: I read that Prince did that extended solo because none of the guitar player magazines and general Media would never acknowledge his playing. I always appreciated his playing above all else.
	11:42am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:41 ha ha ha. like hal blaine was not a good drummer?
	♥ 11:42am Hughie Considine: ↳ clarke @11:42 In the words of the aforementioned Chuck Berry, "Oh Carol!"
	11:43am clarke: ↳ Hughie Considine @11:42 but she did extoll Earl Palmer - so only half-bad!
	11:44am gf2002: ↳ ScottinDenver @11:41 Prince was a total monster on guitar, I know he wasn't acknowledged as much for that until later in his life. He was a fantastic rhythm player too, not just lead. One of the better players of the past 50 years actually, and he sold records too!
	11:46am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ clarke @11:42 I've often wondered what there beef actually was.
	11:46am Michael Shelley: ↳ clarke @11:42 She really HATES Hal - HATES the name "The Wrecking Crew"
	11:46am listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Now And Always" by "Rockpile" Good grief, this is good.
	11:46am clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:46 among many things.
	11:46am gf2002: Carol's commentaries through the years range from spot-on to "WTF?", but it wasn't a good look for her when she started to attack Hal Blaine's drumming. Not cool.
	11:46am Michael Shelley: WORTH READING: pleasekillme.com...
	11:47am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:46 yes it is!
	11:48am PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Now And Always" by "Rockpile" Flying their Everlys flag proudly
	11:49am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:46 hal definitely said SOMEthing to piss carol off, but jeez... tell the truth!!
	11:49am PC77: ↳ Song: "Now And Always" by "Rockpile" Love me some Rockpile! ♥
	♥ 11:50am Hoboken Jack: No pressure, folks, but any cats that are not adopted by the end of the event are put in the burlap sack with a brick and tossed in the Hudson.
	♥ 11:51am egould: ↳ Michael Shelley @11:46 Thanks, Micheal!
	♥ 11:51am prof.fuzz: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:50 i heard they would be put in a sack and given to unattended children, along with a six pack of red bull...
	♥ 11:52am egould: ↳ Hoboken Jack @11:50 It's even worse than that. media1.giphy.com...
	11:53am gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:49 I've followed Carol online for 20+ years, and there was a lot of controversy around the whole Standing In The Shadows of Motown book/documentary/etc, and Carol claiming to have played on some Motown sessions held in LA that were actually Jamerson's sessions in Detroit, and the author Alan Slutsky even had session tapes for some of those sessions where Carol was not there in the studio. So Carol doubled down on her claims, and her answer was usually "look at the AFM contracts" and they were sometimes for different artists covering the Motown songs. Anyway it was sad to watch, and I think Hal at some point made some comments on those claims and the feud was begun. I'm sure it's more than that, but that was what was public at least
	11:53am clarke: FuZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
	♥ 11:53am Hoboken Jack: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:51 Hey Prof! That may be accurate.
	♥ 11:53am Hoboken Jack: ↳ egould @11:52 Those were the good old days

	♥ 11:55am prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @11:53 ClarkEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
	11:55am clarke: ↳ gf2002 @11:53 yeah, and basically all hal was saying is lighten up and tell the truth. ha ha.
	11:56am clarke: ↳ listener phat in Lincoln @11:54 yeah: lousy!
	11:57am clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @11:55 art show today??
	11:57am Michael Shelley: ↳ gf2002 @11:53 She badmouthed Slutsky during our FMU interview - and he called the station several time - talked to Ken - DEMANDING a "retraction."
	11:57am gf2002: ↳ clarke @11:55 That's pretty much it. Carol had basically an "enemies list" and Hal ended up near the top of that list. It's a shame because Carol's credits are simply amazing and she is an amazing musician with literally hundreds of well-known records to her credit. But that Motown thing was another really bad look.
	11:57am Edward: I'm sorry. I can't help it. I cannot stand Lucinda's vocals in any way. Affected, off-key, miserable. Hate me now.
	11:58am clarke: a well-thumbed nose.

	12:00pm PatrickMC: ↳ Edward @11:57 That is funny because it was Steve's very up front, high octane twang that was a little off for me

	12:06pm Edward: During the 90s I was in an online discussion board dedicated to Frank Sinatra. Carol Kaye briefly joined it (she played on some of his stuff) and quickly offended the hell out of everyone. For one thing the guy who started it had a sideline in bootleg CDs (remember them?) of Sinatra. She totally read him and all bootlegs for total filth and was NOT diplomatic about it. She also spun fantastic, paranoid tales of the sheerly evil methods by which bootleggers obtained their material. But, eh, some pretty sweet bass parts on PET SOUNDS, no?
	12:06pm clarke: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:06 cool!

	12:13pm Bob: Good afternoon. Coming in way late. In my defense I was making homemade sourdough english muffins.
	♥ 12:13pm Jimmy Wipper: ↳ clarke @12:12 No, it's in Norfolk. Hence the Norfolk Sound!
	12:13pm clarke: hello bob.
	♥ 12:13pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: ↳ Song: "In The Jailhouse Now" by "Sir Douglas Quintet" This is great!

	♥ 12:14pm Jimmy Wipper: ↳ clarke @12:12 Or it was in Norfolk. Now it's some townhouses. Sadly.
	12:15pm clarke: ↳ Jimmy Wipper @12:14 sadly like everything else.
	12:15pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Ice Cold Daydream" by "Shuggie Otis" Ooh shoulda been s hit
	♥ 12:16pm Jimmy Wipper: ↳ clarke @12:15 Though we did have a homecoming show for Swamp Dogg a few weeks ago. All is not lost...yet.
	♥ 12:16pm egould: ↳ Song: "Ice Cold Daydream" by "Shuggie Otis" Was that Jimmy Page on guitar?
	12:16pm clarke: ↳ Jimmy Wipper @12:16 but it is headed thatta way! nice for the remnants!!
	12:17pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Song: "Guys And Dolls" by "Frank Sinatra" Hot damn
	♥ 12:17pm drr: Guys and Dolls...some of the greatest show tunes, and a couple of the worst.
	♥ 12:17pm Jimmy Wipper: ↳ clarke @12:16 Yes, it's headed that way! You take what little you can get these days.
	♥ 12:18pm Greg from ZONE 5: ↳ Song: "Guys And Dolls" by "Frank Sinatra" All my theater friends pushed me to audition for Guys & Dolls in college, but I was too a-scared :(
	12:18pm clarke: ↳ Jimmy Wipper @12:17 this is the new dept.
	12:18pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Guys And Dolls" by "Frank Sinatra" I’ve got the weakness.
	♥ 12:18pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: ↳ PatrickMC @12:00 Mr Sweet Corn and I both thought there was something off about the whole song. Another Lucinda hater here.
	12:18pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Bob @12:13 wish you could put photos with the comments
	♥ 12:19pm Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @12:17 "Adelaide's Lament" in the good category.
	♥ 12:19pm Frank In Queens: ↳ drr @12:17 They're all the worst 😂
	♥ 12:19pm Mister Dobalina: Tickling pink...that sounds funny.
	12:19pm Michael Shelley: ↳ egould @12:16 Shuggie!
	12:20pm listener phat in Lincoln: Vitalis and Barbasol..
	12:20pm Bob: People hate Lucinda Williams? I really don't know what to say about that
	12:21pm Michael Shelley: Some people think the world is flat
	♥ 12:21pm drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:19 Oh, no, no; it hurts my ears. "If I Were A Bell" is one of my favorite songs in any genre, just a top track.
	12:21pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:21 i think the world is flat-wound!
	♥ 12:22pm prof.fuzz: ↳ clarke @12:21 i wish flatwounds were a lot cheaper
	12:22pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Yesterday" by "Televisionaires" They are super live
	12:22pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:22 yahhhhh!
	12:23pm clarke: feel flows, MS!!
	12:24pm PatrickMC: Everyone's older sibling had a copy of Endless Summer in the 70s
	♥ 12:24pm Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @12:21 Haha! No accounting for taste. I'll have to give If I Were a Bell a re-listen.
	12:25pm Bridget: That concert with Stanky Brown was my first ever concert!
	♥ 12:25pm drr: ↳ Frank In Queens @12:19 "Fugue for Tinhorns"? "Sit Down, You're Rockin' The Boat"? Those are marvelous!
	12:27pm Bob: Those twofer CD's are amazing. Holland is still my favorite next to only Pet Sounds. Did anyone else spend the last two weeks defending Mike Love?
	♥ 12:27pm drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:24 sorry, it "hoits" my ears.
	12:27pm George Kopp: Saw the Beach Boys at Symphony Hall, Newark in '67. Still have the tour book.
	♥ 12:27pm Mike Sin: Cranking it up at the beach with the new solar-powered speaker!
	12:28pm Andres: Don’t mess up, don’t mess up. Love that!
	12:28pm clarke: ↳ Mike Sin @12:27 don't mess up!
	♥ 12:28pm Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @12:27 You need to hear Lucinda Williams cover it.
	12:28pm tgrace55: Love friends
	♥ 12:28pm egould: Saw the Beach Boys at the Indiana State Fair in August 1983.
	12:29pm Edward: ↳ Bob @12:20 If you want to hear a vocal performance so bad it will literally make you laugh, check out her cover of Lou Reed's "Legendary Hearts."
	12:29pm ledzeppelinsucks: I heard an interview on WFMU, maybe Mikey Love was mentioned in spiking acid on a guy and taking him on a suicidal motorcycle ride and going berserk inside of a cruising airplane beating passengers and destroying the plane.
	12:30pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Busy Doin' Nothin'" by "Beach Boys, The" Such an amazing song
	12:30pm Lorraine: Hi Mike. I feel sorry for you. You think The Beach Boys are more interesting to listen to than the Beatles. That really is sad. You are missing out on so much.
	12:30pm clarke: ↳ PatrickMC @12:30 just the drum part alone...
	12:31pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Bob @12:27 Mike is problematic - but why did people feel the need to bring him into Brian's death ? Weird.
	♥ 12:31pm Hughie Considine: ↳ Edward @12:29 It would be tough to cover that song under the best of circumstances.
	♥ 12:31pm drr: ↳ Edward @12:29 Another astonishingly bad Lou Reed cover is "Perfect Day" by Luciano Pavarotti (and Lou Reed). So awful. Also LP's eyebrows are dancing around on his forehead; the whole performance feels like a John Candy skit. Had he lived longer, I'm sure it would have been.
	12:31pm gf2002: There will never be another musician like Brian Wilson. My opinion, he's the greatest American songwriter of the 20th Century. No one used chords and harmony like he did. How fortunate were we to be alive and to actually see him on stage performing his music? Beyond category.
	♥ 12:32pm egould: ↳ drr @12:31 Ha!
	12:32pm clarke: ↳ Lorraine @12:30 i'm pretty sure that was a thoughtful personal decision.
	12:32pm Edward: Weirdly enough, Mike Love was the one of the group who went to the most racially integrated high school, and he was the biggest R&B nut.
	12:33pm clarke: ↳ gf2002 @12:31 everything was about FEEL - that's the genius, there.
	♥ 12:33pm Frank In Queens: ↳ drr @12:25 Just not a fan of the genre.
	♥ 12:33pm JG: ↳ gf2002 @12:31 I agree. an all time great composer and an all time great band.
	12:33pm Michael Shelley: ↳ Lorraine @12:30 GRRRRRR
	♥ 12:33pm Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @12:31 The fact that his favorite song was "Shortnin' Bread" just adds to the mystery of true genius.
	12:34pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Can't Wait Too Long" by "Beach Boys, The" wow. Luv this. Hi Michael, hi All!
	12:34pm tgrace55: This song blew my mind on the smiley smile + wild honey two fer CD
	12:35pm clarke: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:33 [shrugging emoji]
	12:35pm PatrickMC: ↳ Lorraine @12:30 The? Beatles?
	12:35pm PatrickMC: ↳ Song: "Can't Wait Too Long" by "Beach Boys, The" Carl
	12:35pm DG: Saw Brian for the first time on his first solo tour, in '99, at the Beacon, NYC....I think I was the youngest person there, & I was around 40. Also wrote a profile on him around that time, but didn't get much from the phone interview with him, mostly one sentence answerrs (or less)....I know this was a common thing w/him. I will mention that "That Lucky Old Sun" is a worthwhile solo album, as opposed to the last, embarrassing one he did (& the last song is called "The Last Song," sadly enough).
	♥ 12:35pm DaveMiß: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:33 Hey Michael Shelley! Clarke & Drr!
	♥ 12:36pm egould: ↳ PatrickMC @12:35 I always click on your avatar. Cracks me up every time. :-)
	12:36pm gf2002: ↳ clarke @12:33 Brian's genius was also what I call the "X Factor" of making records. How his music managed to be personal and unique to whoever was listening and willing to accept what he was sending out through his music. It felt like a big hug from a friend when you needed it. And I don't think anyone has come close to capturing those feelings through a recording like Brian. Listen to that intro of California Girls - it's the sound of a beautiful early morning sunrise at the start of a perfect day. No one can touch that.
	12:36pm tgrace55: Love this ending
	12:36pm clarke: ↳ DaveMiß @12:35 Misster Miss!! howdy!
	12:36pm Bob: Mike Love is problematic but who isn't? It was very weird that 75% of all posts on Brian seemed to be an opening to hate Mike. If my uncle sold my legacy away from me for peanuts, I'd be problematic too. In any case, without Mike being out there keeping it alive every summer for decades, who knows if they wouldn't just be a cult band with some early hits and loved by only record nerds.
	12:37pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Girl Don't Tell Me" by "Beach Boys, The" THIS might just be IT!
	♥ 12:37pm egould: ↳ Song: "Girl Don't Tell Me" by "Beach Boys, The" Ok. This my favoritist Beach Boys song. Then, 'God Only Knows'.
	♥ 12:37pm drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:28 I'm not firmly in the hater camp with Lucinda, she seems like a cool person mostly. But I had to google a little bit to figure out which one of her songs it is I really do not like--and it is "Righteously". Just reading the lyrics (genius.com...) I can hear the way the rhymes get more and more affected and loopy...
	12:38pm gf2002: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:33 He used to play that riff on the piano to clear his mind and get his ideas flowing, that one and other simple boogie-woogie piano licks to almost hypnotize himself...and then the ideas would flow.
	♥ 12:38pm drr: ↳ egould @12:37 Apparently the last BBs studio recording to feature any BBs playing instruments.
	12:38pm DG: I like this one too....quite the Beatles influence here....to be um, diplomatic.
	12:38pm clarke: ↳ Bob @12:36 i think one reason that many were not more 'reverential' is that brian kinda disappeared a few years prior to his passing; therefore, people expected it. to me, it came as a 'relief', in a way. no more suffering and not making music!
	♥ 12:39pm drr: ↳ DaveMiß @12:35 Morning, Miß!
	12:40pm clarke: thanks michael for all this!! and that, too!
	12:41pm Edward: ↳ clarke @12:38 Yeah. Between the love of his life dying last year and then his dementia...It seemed kind of possible to say he's in a better place now, though I don't literally believe the dead are anyplace.
	♥ 12:41pm JG: SOme nice deep cuts here
	♥ 12:41pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: Beach Boys on my island too.
	12:41pm DG: ↳ clarke @12:38 Yes, they'd announced he had dementia a few years ago, & he stopped doing shows around '22 (?) or so. I wasn't totally surprised by the news, but it was also tragic how he outlived everyone important in his life: not just parents, but his brothers & 2nd wife. I assume Carnie & Wendy (& maybe the other kids) control the estate now.
	12:41pm clarke: ↳ Edward @12:41 totally! RIP, literally!
	♥ 12:41pm egould: ↳ egould @12:37 Or maybe: 1. Girl Don't Tell Me 2. Wendy 3. God Only Knows But where do I slot 'In My Room'? Aw hell, I love them all!
	12:41pm PatrickMC: ↳ gf2002 @12:38 Which apparently led to Ding Dang which is also pretty awesome
	♥ 12:42pm drr: ↳ Song: "The Little Girl That I Once Knew" by "Beach Boys,... this bass line and bass sound...
	♥ 12:42pm prof.fuzz: happy happy go skate day to those who celebrate!
	12:42pm clarke: ↳ prof.fuzz @12:42 there ya go!!!
	12:42pm Michael Shelley: IF YOURE INTERESTED IN A DEEP DIVE: Brian Wilson I only had five minutes www.wfmu.org... Mike Love - had limited time.

	12:42pm DG: "Dead people are free from pain, you know"----that line at the end of "Nashville." Gets me every time. (Also, "Little Girl..." was the opening song at Brian's first solo NYC show.)
	12:42pm PatrickMC: ↳ egould @12:36 TY, it's confessional. ;)
	12:42pm clarke: THIS IS THAT!
	♥ 12:42pm DaveMiß: Is anyone gonna talk about his obsession with shortenin Bread?
	12:43pm gf2002: And a funny Brian story with Shortnin Bread was when he invited Alice Cooper and Iggy Pop back to his house after hanging out in LA, and Brian got behind the piano and started to play Shortnin Bread. He gave Iggy and Alice vocal parts to sing as Brian sang lead and played...and it went on and on for over half an hour. Iggy finally got up and left, saying it was too weird, and Brian just kept playing. He had a wicked sense of humor that people didn't get sometimes. So yes, Brian freaked out Iggy and Alice, quite an accomplishment!
	♥ 12:43pm drr: ↳ PatrickMC @12:41 and don't forget "Rockin' Down The Gosh-Darned Highway".
	♥ 12:43pm pgalub: ↳ Song: "The Little Girl That I Once Knew" by "Beach Boys,... Fave intro of all time. Hi everyone
	♥ 12:43pm Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @12:37 Can't argue with you on that one. No one would mistake it for a short story, as people said about her songs from an earlier era. But I dig Car Wheels and the first EP and LP quite a lot.
	12:43pm clarke: ↳ DaveMiß @12:42 see above!
	12:44pm annette: whut...no nrbq retro...
	♥ 12:44pm DaveMiß: ↳ clarke @12:43 Copy captain
	12:44pm tgrace55: Yes little pad! Just incredible
	12:44pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "Little Pad" by "Beach Boys, The" One of my favorite melodies of all time...the wordless part with uke strumming in the back. Brilliant
	♥ 12:44pm Hoboken Jack: ↳ pgalub @12:43 PEEEEEEETE, Mike Sin, George!
	12:44pm clarke: ↳ pgalub @12:43 hey pete!! howya!!??
	12:45pm BambiKinoHQ: "Little Pad" = greatest recording of a bong hit ever
	12:45pm Jim macnie: Gorgeous. Thx M.
	♥ 12:45pm prof.fuzz: ↳ gf2002 @12:43 too bad lux interior was not at that party...
	12:45pm Michael Shelley: ↳ BambiKinoHQ @12:45 LOL
	12:46pm Michael Shelley: ↳ annette @12:44 why?
	♥ 12:46pm drr: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:43 First LW I heard was excellent; it was "Passionate Kisses" done by a wonderful Knoxville band called the Taoist Cowboys, who cleverly never mentioned it was a cover, so I really respected their songwriting, it sounded like a hit.
	12:46pm gf2002: ↳ PatrickMC @12:41 For years when Brian saw Roger McGuinn, he'd yell to him "Hey Roger, Ding Dang!". McGuinn co-wrote it
	12:46pm George Kopp: ↳ Hoboken Jack @12:44 Yo Jack! Seen any shows lately??
	12:46pm PatrickMC: Still time for Johnny Carson
	♥ 12:46pm pgalub: JAAAAACK! Hey clarke. I'm just beachy.
	♥ 12:46pm Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @12:43 So it's fair to say that the song both helped clear his head out and also he was also obsessed with it.
	12:46pm clarke: ↳ pgalub @12:46 pete, you catch Martin's latest post - new album in the works! wow! prolific!
	♥ 12:47pm pgalub: ↳ clarke @12:46 Nice!!
	12:47pm annette: loved all music growing up thru my years. but tired of radio wearing out so much stuff.
	♥ 12:47pm Bracelet: everyone! adopt a cat!
	♥ 12:48pm drr: ↳ PatrickMC @12:46 ...he's a real live wire. Truer words were never spoken.
	12:48pm tgrace55: Our prayer and cabinessence at the end of 20/20 blew my mind first listen, then imagine when I stumbled across the smile sessions
	12:48pm clarke: ↳ pgalub @12:47 what beach are ye on??
	♥ 12:48pm Pedro in Arlington: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:42 Just copied and emailed myself all this linky goodness, Michael. God, I wish I had bought the $100 Brian bust that used to be sold on his website. Dang.
	♥ 12:48pm Hughie Considine: ↳ drr @12:46 Which of course it became for Mary Chapin Carpenter. The self-titled LP has a few could-been hits like that.
	12:49pm annette: @bracelet. . . at this age wasnt looking for another feline. but we gonna live our lives
	12:50pm gf2002: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:46 Yes. Obsessed with Shortnin Bread which turned up in numerous songs he wrote, obsessed with Proud Mary which he recorded many times through the years, and probably most obsessed with Be My Baby. When I saw him on his first solo tour, and he and that amazing band played Be My Baby, it was overwhelming. The impossible came true.
	12:50pm Andres: ↳ Michael Shelley @12:42 Wow! Deep deep deep dive! Awesome!
	♥ 12:50pm Bracelet: ↳ annette @12:49 furever until 4pm @monty hall
	12:51pm clarke: ↳ Song: "Till I Die" by "Beach Boys, The" this is THAT!
	♥ 12:51pm Uncle Traveling Matt: This set is the best tribute I’ve heard. Thank you, Michael.
	♥ 12:51pm Jimmy Wipper: Wonderful tribute, Michael. No such thing as too much Brian Wilson.
	12:51pm clarke: ↳ Jimmy Wipper @12:51 truth!
	12:51pm Dennis: Beautiful job on this list, Michael💖
	12:52pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "Till I Die" by "Beach Boys, The" Listen to the falsetto "until I die" exactly when the song changes to the ending coda...one of the most beautiful and saddest vocal notes I've ever heard. It was the last hurrah of younger Brian's amazing voice from the 60's. Crushing.
	12:52pm annette: appreciate your hearts. but gotta leave. too much.
	12:52pm gf2002: It was right there. No one makes records like this, no one ever will again.
	12:53pm PatrickMC: ↳ Dennis @12:51 One for the ages
	12:53pm tgrace55: Ending coda could go on forever
	12:53pm PC77: ↳ Song: "Time to Get Alone" by "Beach Boys, The" This is heart wrenching.
	12:54pm clarke: awesome show!! as usuals.
	12:54pm Marie in Chicago: Thank's Michael! It's super nice to hear your Beach Boys selections.
	12:54pm PC77: (Til I Die)
	12:54pm gf2002: ↳ Song: "Time to Get Alone" by "Beach Boys, The" Listen to how he recorded a different keyboard instrument on every beat of this waltz...brilliant production.
	♥ 12:54pm Bracelet: I moved out west and between freeform KALX and the WFMU streams this week has just been non-stop sorrow and joy celebrating Brian Wilson
	12:55pm Bob: Great tribute, Michael. Dave the Spazz did a great one last week too with some guests, including Dennis Diken. Some great, first-hand stories.
	♥ 12:55pm Hoboken Jack: Really nice tribute, Michael -- thank you!
	♥ 12:56pm Hughie Considine: ↳ gf2002 @12:50 Great that you were there to witness it!

	12:57pm tgrace55: Some fun alternate takes of whistle in on the sunshine tomorrow collection that came out a few years ago
	♥ 12:57pm drr: Good!
	12:57pm Bob: Spazz played Melt Away from that first solo album. I'd forgotten how good that song was. Highlight of the Landy years.
	12:58pm Honski de Boiski Cha Cha: Wonderful song choices. This is the first time I have been listening to any Brian Wilson-related music after his passing and I gotta admit I have cried some. Such beautiful music that will live long after we have gone. Thanks!
	♥ 12:58pm Hughie Considine: Great stuff, Michael! Have a fine day, all -- stay hydrated and keep playing number one hits!
	12:58pm gf2002: ↳ Hughie Considine @12:56 A beautiful and fitting tribute.
	12:59pm clarke: ever get the feelin' you bean beated? good nite.
	1:00pm Bob: Tossing carrots to everyone for the week
	1:00pm gf2002: When you're up early enough to catch a sunrise, play that intro to California Girls as the soundtrack and it all makes sense :)
