I was interested in another chick from the movie and found a great interview with Carol Kaye on youtube. Also must say, I don't really like the Beach Boys because of the vocals-falsetto :( and the lyrics. Am loving this show today with all the instrumentals. Thanks!
	4:43pm phat: Holy cow! That is where those harmonies came from.
	♥ 4:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - yeah - needs the Chuck Berry.
	4:44pm paula pc: @ Lynn -- and here's the source of that falsetto. it is still fingernails on the chalkboard to me but makes my mom swoon
	4:44pm phat: And, hearing this I hear the Stan Kenton.
	🎸 ♥ 4:44pm rrg: Wait a minute. The movie's not a documentary?
	4:45pm phat: Hell. Those strings and trombone are VERY Stan Kenton.
	♥ 4:45pm Dominick: I want to see the movie just to see Mark Linett playing Chuck Britz
	4:46pm Dean: This sounds like a great candidate for Kurt G.'s 45 at 33 1/3 routine.
	4:47pm Dean: [The Four Freshmen, I meant.]
	4:47pm paula pc: this is wonderfullll
	4:47pm Lynn: Yes, My dad also loved the four freshman and their like. So maybe I'm rebelling.
	♥ 4:48pm ChrisB.: Dennis, we need some more Bell Sound.
	♥ 4:48pm ironybread: Dukes of Stratosphear's "Pale & Precious" remains a sweet BB tribute.
	♥ 4:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Holy crow Mr. Diken - now that is a Production.
	4:50pm Calvin Vinlac: R. Stevie Moore's "Here Comes Summer Again" is pretty spot on too.

	4:52pm A Better Me: Like sitting in a room made of butter
	4:52pm paula pc: like a barbershop made of butter
	♥ 4:54pm common: sniff. this and surf's up.
	♥ 4:54pm Webhamster Henry: You fans of a capella and complicated arrangements might like my friend Fredo Viola's work.

	4:59pm mick: disney girls? please !

	5:02pm phat: Emergency!
	5:03pm Calvin Vinlac: Pet Sounds? Never heard of it.
	♥ 5:06pm efd: I guessd that means we won't be hearing "Honkin' Down The Highway" either.
	♥ 5:07pm Dominick: Hey Little Tomboy
	♥ 5:07pm Webhamster Henry: Heh - I sang this at the Loser's Lounge.
	♥ 5:07pm ChrisB.: @efd: Haha! I could go for that. I almost got beat up for playing that on a jukebox!
	5:09pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Sorry guys, but I vote for "Roller Skating Child" over this one.
	5:10pm fx: Life is for the living!
	♥ 5:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Where have I heard 'Still..'? Who has sung it? Somewhere - not this version...
	🎸 ♥ 5:10pm Alison Porchnik: Student Demonstration Time!
	5:10pm Todd-o-phonic Todd: Dennis: you used to love that lyric "It's so cold I go brrrr"!
	♥ 5:10pm ChrisB.: Late period Alex Chilton would have had a good time with this one.

	5:31pm Lane: Dennis and Irwin, HEY! This has been one enjoyable afternoon!
	♥ 5:36pm unpopularfred: Rob Wasserman is a jazz bass player who played on a lot of pop records in the 90's (most notably Lou Reed's New York) and made these two duet and trio records with some interesting combinations of people.
	♥ 5:38pm Webhamster Henry: Apparently this was not really recorded at a beach party, but it was live.
	♥ 5:41pm dale: been listening but offline. are you sure this isn't the high llamas?
	♥ 5:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Merci Beaucoup - Msrs. Chusid & Diken ...& yerknow, Msrs. Wilson & Co.
	♥ 5:41pm dale: the marraige of barbershop and doo wop sounds like a bad idea. until you hear it.
	5:45pm Dean: Some of this has a ring of Jacques Tati soundtrack to it, "Les Vacances de M. Hulot," in particular.
	5:45pm Carmichael: I lke a lot of songs on the Duets album. Some, not so much. I have Trios, too. But the concept was getting old to me. Did Wasserman make it to Octets?
	5:46pm northguineahills: @Dale: Some of these instrumentals I swore were the High Llamas.
	♥ 5:47pm dale: right? they totally just ripped it off.
	5:50pm Trump: HAHAHAHAAA!
	♥ 5:50pm unpopularfred: @Carmichael - you are not wrong
	5:57pm northguineahills: @Dale: Sean O'Hagan (High Llamas, the only member) was a member of Stereolab for a few albums beforehand.
