jk

right
some are
i’m deranged
dead man walking
slip away
god bless the girl

(i know some of these aren’t rare but we talking not singles material anyway right? altho deadman is a single it’s still not something popular)

and you?

mmmm id have to dig back into that it’s been a minute

how’s that?

man there is some s*** i found one time of some french dudes in 67 covering WITH ME TONIGHT of all things i have to find that one again but it’s reallllly obscure

yo has @SoHelpMeDog posted in here? just saw his avi but don't remember spotting him in the thread

edit: oh I see he's in the OP, my b

hahahha yes he came in to post some gold deep cuts stuff, he knows his stuff! ive tagged him a few times (maybe too much by now)

the one missing is @hopoffmysackdawg69 who seems to really know his s*** too YT i think he left ktt2 😞😞😞

and of course @petsounds who is definitely a real active user and will absolutely join us one day

prolly a smart mf who came into ktt2 day one made the account then dipped

Great song
Need to watch the movie

ill tag you to some other great deep cut songs like this if u interested

Appreciate it

i had Sloop John B in my head in repeat these last few days

sloop john b was al jardine’s idea, he has the bigger knowledge of folk music he’s really into that so he knew that song and proposed to brian to “beach boys” it up

i used to think it was out of place on pet sounds, i would rather take an original song over it, why not include the single the little girl i once knew? it’s upbeat too

but it grew on me, it’s a banger and the theme works with the album after all, lonelyness, trying to find a place, makes lot of sense for it to be there

i love the video, the trick of brian shaking hands to the other band members and then switching for carl making u think it’s still brian for him to have shake hands with brian really fooled me lol

few years later in 69 al jardine brought the same idea with the song cottonfield by the great ledbelly, brian produces and arranged it to make it more pop, it sounds great! obviously it didn’t take off as big as sloop john b but it’s still really nice, being coming back to me lately a lot, good jam, just more bluesy

had no idea it was a cover

thanks for the knowledge

they def made the most fun and creative version out of that song

Where does The Beach Boys core catalog end? Surfs Up? Love You? All studio albums? I’m trying to complete my beach boys collection to go with my Beatles complete set and I’m struggling with what to leave out

to end with surf’s up would be a crime especially if you love that album cos surf’s up is only the start of their new line up so the other two albums that came after are the naturally progression and continuation off of surf’s up more “hipster” style

let’s say love you is definitely the last core stop, here’s where it gets tricky tho because id say there’s one worth last stop after that, as a final treat, bonus

so after love you you get just albums that are good to pick some deep cuts from but not a whole album experience worth, for example you got miu album with a love you “my diane” which bothers me because it’s a original love you composed and session song left off but love you used good time which is a left of off sunflower from 1969? so like the whole album you listen to a rough obese brian from 1977 then jump back to a healthy falsetto brian from 1969 on one song SO weird decision

yet love you is a personal fav but is very special and unique sounding, takes few listens (it’s the first since pet sounds and last beach boys album entirely composed and produced by brian) so id say put my diane on love you instead of good time, yeah that’s frankensteining it but doesn’t it make sense? lol

again, i digress

either way skip miu but however l.a. album imo is the real last stop; it has its fans and that includes me, ive made a post about it earlier but ill say it again; outside of one cheesy mike love original song (“summahumma” but it’s not even his worst so it’s fine) and most terrifying the disco remake of “here comes the night” from wild honey (that’s when bruce johnston who got fired during the whole jack rieley era -manager of the band from surf’s up who wrote and sang too and revamped the band for the more hippie audience- came back into the band with this disco remake idea, HE REALLY THOT he had one!! he had previously whole solo try to make awful country remakes of don’t worry baby and a disco remake of an old sixties surf song) and maybe one al jardine song that is hehh (lady lynda), not my cup of tea at all, boring

the rest is actually very good, one or two unfinished brian songs but that are really nice (first is opener good timin’ which is smooth and second is shortenin’ bread which is a fun short crazy jam he has obsessed for years and re-recorded many times) and the rest are all dennis and carl songs! how can that go wrong? they’re beautiful songs! and both together they take half the album, they have some of their best songs on it actually so yes id say underrated album

the 2012 comeback album is this ^ but by x50 in terms of how you jump from very bad mike love material to great brian wilson stuff

anyway TLDR:

final stop is indeed love you
cheat code if you’re still hungry however do jump forward onto “l.a. album” and that’s youre last “album” stop worth experience, the rest would be deep cuts at best to check out really, here and there

btw they been updating on brians YouTube cool insightful clips of brian speaking about some songs his thots on it or story behind it, this one just came up 3 hours ago:

i don’t know when these clips were recorded, i don’t think they’re new, pretty sure they come from something from some years ago, at least some 10y avi if not more

beautiful song that only surfaced in 2013 on the boxset “made in california”

this version if frankensteined out of two different takes: brians vocals from his own demo of it from 1974 inserted into a full band recording version of the song done in 1978, yeah that sounds like a big leap in audio recording and eras, but it works just fine! song is an amazing soulful californian gospel kinda

this for you @oxytocin

that folk psychedelic album was nice! @Elric

today!

today

today! tonight!

yes

that was bc this ramones cover is the opening song on today!

but aight bet
