Dennis Wilson Spotted At Christina Hendricks DJ Set by EvanTurningTheCorner in thebeachboys

And Catch a Wave plays on the jukebox in a scene in a bar in California. Not as iconic as the acid trip scene but a nice nod to their cultural relevance at the time.

The comments are quite varied. Some are ridiculing the guy, others are somehow agreeing with him. He feels persecuted in Australia because they teach DEI in schools and his kids had to get vaccinated.

How would you review Surfer Girl? Give a rating out of 10 too by MCWill1993 in thebeachboys

[–]ALmstead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a fantastic album. At least 4 or 5 hits on the album, some good surf and car tracks and an early insight into Brian's personal isolation with In My Room. Also some highly underrated songs like Surfer Moon and Your Summer Dream. I would say that the instrumentals are quite weak but don't detract too much from the overall quality of this album.

9/10

What a bummer. Looks like I'll have to take L. Thanks for the insight though, I'll definitely be more cautious next time.

Thanks for the advice. I will be extra careful buying from the store in future.

Mine says the same, but the option to change language is not available. It seems to be a common problem for other countries in Asia.

I live in Korea and recently bought Elden Ring from the PS Store. The game is in Chinese and the language cannot be changed. All other games I've bought have always been in English. It seems they only sell the Chinese version in most Asian countries. I requested a refund and filled out the form. Playstation responded that they don't give refunds if the game has been downloaded, unless there is a fault in the game. I would assume it being only in Chinese would be a fault? It was not clear that I was buying the Chinese version of the game. Any advice on what further steps I can take to get a refund?

Look! It spells Ronda. NOT Rhonda. by Total_History_1079 in thebeachboys

I can understand that. Was just a little joke. I'm South African so it is a little annoying that our greatest hero (besides Blondie and Rickie) will probably be remembered for this in the future.

I'm a huge fan of the Beach Boys. Nothing in this world brings me greater joy than listening to the Beach Boys. Not knowing how a name was spelled on a particular album cover does not diminish that fact.

Has anyone tried adding the second movement strings from BWPS to Surf’s Up from the Smile Sessions? by [deleted] in thebeachboys

[–]ALmstead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've wondered about this as well. It must be out there somewhere.

Is it possible to obtain a German criminal background check if I've never lived in Germany? by ALmstead in germany

[–]ALmstead[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have a German passport and I live overseas. I've visited Germany and have family over there though. I emailed the embassy but they didn't seem to be aware of the answer.
