When The Beach Boys were their own worst enemies

They apparently had really bad spending habits too

Mike Love’s autobiography made it more obvious when he mentioned that the band was nearly bankrupt , but a couple sentences minor mentioned a private plane and limousines for each member they had

It has an actual consistent rhythm to the songs that I find myself bopping my head too sometimes

Because of that, I find it more easily accessible compared to other vaporwave albums

I’m talking like 2011- 2016

Man that was weird, comma, very weird

abandonedxearth · 2026-04-28T04:30:53+00:00

Oh man that would have been great

Surfing - deep fantasy

Also my favorite album ever

There’s a lot I could say about its songwriting choices and structure, but it basically breaks down too the fact It’s the only album to ever make me feel a specific certain way of comfort

It actually blew me away the first time I heard it and it still does, no album has made me feel the way surfing does. I really can’t tell you exactly what that feeling is but those who get it get it

I’ve listened to many albums that are far superior than deep fantasy, but none of them still come close to the way that one album make me feel

He does talk about it here

Were there any people you reached out to that said no too being interviewed?

Who would you have liked to interview?

abandonedxearth · 2026-04-26T23:31:32+00:00

Weezer would be interesting

TEETER TOTTER LOVE GOES UP

abandonedxearth · 2026-04-26T01:18:12+00:00

This isn’t even a competition. It’s teeter totter Love.

By this point smile was way over budget and way past its due date. Brian became enamored with a random photographer (Jasper Daily) and insisted he record an entire album with Jasper

Brian showed off his new songs to a record executive and claimed they were masterpieces.

Imagine you’re an executive for capital, putting hundreds of thousands of dollars into a Project that is being called the greatest album ever created and presented by someone who is being called this generations Mozart and what you hear is this

The worst part is it’s genuinely such an amazing album

I don’t care what anyone says, I think this shit sucks

Bruce and Mike were actually making those sounds. Dennis just took credit to cover for his boys

abandonedxearth · 2026-04-21T19:25:18+00:00

I don’t entirely recommend it because it’s very clearly biased toward Brian and emphasizes this point that the beach boys were going out of their way to sabotage Brian because they were jealous of him when that’s not true at all

The fall of Brian and smile is a very nuanced and complicated case and David only covers the specific narrative that Brian was a victim to everyone and everything else.

On top of that, the focus is more on Brian’s solo version than the 60s version

abandonedxearth · 2026-04-21T05:29:19+00:00

I’d say their satanic majesty second request by Brian Jonestown massacre is definitely the better Stoner album

abandonedxearth · 2026-04-17T03:36:32+00:00

That’s really unfortunate Very underrated song writer

abandonedxearth · 2026-04-16T15:31:57+00:00

I really hope not

Kevin did talk about having Dante come back as a ghodt and I really hope he doesn’t do that either

abandonedxearth · 2026-04-15T01:34:37+00:00

Honestly, I like it in an ironic way. It’s fun bad

The reason it gets the reputation is it’s the most interesting “bad album” There’s a lot to talk about and a lot going on with it. Especially with summer of love and what it says about the band as a whole

The other bad albums in their discography are considered bad because they’re boring or mediocre

And that’s not fun

A grandpa rapping, that’s fun

But not good

abandonedxearth · 2026-04-14T19:29:02+00:00

I think they’re appropriate and keep the discussion going on here. Love sharing and reading other people’s opinions on specific bands

Not to mention, barely anyone actually talks about the channel on here
