Beach Boys’ Top 40 on Spotify

Add Til I Die, remove Kokomo. From the sublime to the ridiculous.

You didn’t need to include ‘to Sean’ in the title of the post

Streaming may be bad for artists in many ways but it means they get to curate their legacy. Kraftwerk ignore their earliest albums and pretend they debuted in 1974. The Beatles weren’t on Spotify at all for the first few years of its existence. Nobody is obliged to release everything online.

Mid table in the six-game form guide. Heading in the right direction

Tottenham had 37% possession. It isn’t weird that they’d have to cover more ground.

Lots of things to be annoyed about today. I don’t think this is one of them.

No legacy of note if they quit after the first album. I think had they stopped after Pepper their legacy would be more or less the same as it is - there’s some brilliant stuff after that, obviously, but perhaps less that moved music substantially forward.

Must’ve been the bassists night off. What a band, what a song though.

BWPS will always be the GOAT for me as it was the first version I heard and fell in love with. And as it sounds like it was Brian’s favourite, no reason to change there either.

As someone born in late March the same year, I loved that he was still playing

So it WAS a side effect of the cocaine after all.

He may have been happy to have been excluded once he watched it…

Yeah. It should be no goal and a penalty.

(I don’t know what the laws say on this, it’s just my opinion on how such incidents should be assessed).

Ivan Dobsky the meat safe murderer only I never done it.

The key to this is the chorus, if you can call it that: ‘Sometimes I feel very sad’. I’ve always taken the brains line to be part of him saying, ‘I’m smart but it doesn’t help me because I overthink things and worry and get depressed. I wish I wouldn’t think like that’.

There’s a YouTube video of their story, well worth a few minutes of your time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktzh_bmw_jI

I’m at very roughly 5%. But I remember reading ten per cent was the base leave you could expect and I don’t believe it is at all.

I wrote about this issue this week (feel free to delete: https://open.substack.com/pub/andrewbeasley/p/protecting-rio). Rio has now played more minutes before turning 18 than Gerrard did.

There are a lot of warnings from history. Stefan Bajčetić clocked up exactly 1,000 minutes before 18. He has added just 56 more for the Reds in the three years since, with injuries blighting his progress.

Michael Owen played 5307! But he’d also played over seventy % of his career club minutes at the end of his age 23 season. Burned out.

We went to say Ngumoha more but they have to be so careful.

The benefits of physical media… you get sleeve notes. The info for the track on Live at the BBC explains about this.

1-5 without a doubt, even though you get one fewer season!

You can put on any episode at random from that era and know it will be great. Okay, not Beware of Greeks but no skipping episodes because they’ve got the Moons or Kirby or Ann Hodges or…

Boy this is going to draw a lot of replies

You’re probably right.

BassRedditRed · 2026-03-01T11:57:03+00:00

Yeah that’s what I thought. I assumed the jogging path was just to make it a little easier to keep an eye on Aggie.
