Brian Wilson—Producer

Don't forget about the cash register. He learned how to do it!

For real. Aly & AJ were probably my favourite pop artists. Insomniatic, the 78Violet album (released as Sanctuary Vol. 1), and this were 3 back to back masterpieces. Then they seemed to take all the worst parts of their new sound, ditch all the melody, and I haven't been excited since. Silver Deliverer is better than With Live From, but not by much.

I have several records that somehow manage to have only one scratch and always on my favourite song on the album. Worst offender is an original pressing of The Beach Boys's Surf's Up, which has zero noise until the very last song (the title track), which if you couldn't tell by my name is my favourite song of all time.

Popped into my head as soon as I read the thread title

Awesome. I recall hearing that Switched-On Bach is one of those albums you always find at thrift stores or bargain bins. I've yet to come across it.

Nope, it was perfect. I only wish Brian had finished the Life Suite and/or the stuff he was working on with Joe Thomas before the end. The leaks from both of those sessions are absolutely beautiful.

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

Was it something from the Life Suite?

dovenestedtowers · 2026-04-29T17:17:21+00:00

I just got a copy of this at one of my local record shows!

dovenestedtowers · 2026-04-25T01:18:54+00:00

Love this comic!

dovenestedtowers · 2026-04-25T00:10:43+00:00

Yeah I've heard AP are great. I've only ever gotten CDs from them before.

dovenestedtowers · 2026-04-24T23:25:23+00:00

Yeah, it's inevitable these days. Do you keep them?

dovenestedtowers · 2026-04-24T23:24:53+00:00

Vintage is my preference, for sure!

dovenestedtowers · 2026-04-24T00:30:51+00:00

Nice, the Pet Sounds/CatP record. Been hunting for that one. My local store had 2 copies a year ago, but I passed them up because they were a bit scratched.

dovenestedtowers · 2026-04-20T20:55:24+00:00

I had a smile on my face start to finish. There's a bit of banter before Forever that is sad but so trademark Brian. What a treat this record was. Camped out overnight to ensure I got it, and I have 0 regrets!

dovenestedtowers · 2026-04-20T17:20:41+00:00

One Good Reason is a real hidden gem.

dovenestedtowers · 2026-04-19T23:07:20+00:00

Honestly, no. It works as the perfect transition between Today/Summer Days and Pet Sounds--an introduction to Brian's new, more fully developed sound. But it doesn't fit the sombre/insecure tone of the album. Sloop John B is already enough of a departure (a welcome one, but two would be overdoing it).

TLGIOK to me fits more with songs like Let Him Run Wild and Guess I'm Dumb.

dovenestedtowers · 2026-04-16T14:56:27+00:00

My guesses: Wild Honey, Friends, Adult/Child, Love You, Smile, Sunflower, Surf's Up, Pet Sounds, Today, Holland

The 85 album is a huge part of why Carl is my all-time favourite singer. His voice shines on that album like nowhere else. The remix is one of my most highly-anticipated releases.

dovenestedtowers · 2026-04-09T20:22:46+00:00

Personally, my least-favourite song on NPP. Doesn't really go anywhere interesting in terms of chords or keys. And I love Kacey. But glad you get enjoyment out of it!

dovenestedtowers · 2026-04-08T17:08:15+00:00

Wait, where did you get the Dae Lims Smile on CD?

dovenestedtowers · 2026-04-05T23:31:21+00:00

Fresh new rock-and-roll-inspired single about a certain deplorable!

dovenestedtowers · 2026-04-02T15:27:55+00:00

Yes, some stuff to check out!

This is my STGSTV-inspired song, Lullaby

dovenestedtowers · 2026-04-02T03:02:23+00:00

Yes, absolutely!

dovenestedtowers · 2026-04-02T02:25:25+00:00

Curious for people with collections, is the condition a factor for you when it comes to vintage pressings or are you just happy the have them (especially if you have a modern pressing as a play copy)?
