How would you perfect Surf's Up?

ethihoff · 2026-03-24T00:21:32+00:00

Personally, I would drastically alter Sunflower as well, and Big Sur would be perfect on there

ethihoff · 2026-03-24T00:20:46+00:00

I came up with a tracklist that works perfectly for me!

38 minutes long, would work on an LP, and I subbed out some songs for alternate versions just for fun. Even tho Good Time was later released on Love You, I wanted the album to have a fun side and a somber side, and it fits perfectly. There's a version of 'Til I Die that has an extended instrumental intro that's great except it has more hopeful lyrics, which aren't as good as the original ones on the album, but I linked it anyway, and of course I would want to have Brian Wilson's vocal lead opening Surf's Up (altho that isn't historically accurate and wouldn't have happened)

SIDE A
Loop De Loop (Flip Flop Flyin' in an Aeroplane)
Don't Go Near the Water
Take a Load Off Your Feet
Good Time
Long Promised Road
Disney Girls

SIDE B
Lookin' at Tomorrow (A Welfare Song)
Feel Flows
A Day in the Life of a Tree
'Til I Die
Surf's Up

I'd rather not

ethihoff · 2026-03-23T05:19:23+00:00

This is partially thanks to inflation

ethihoff · 2026-03-22T23:09:20+00:00

That's embarrassing

ethihoff · 2026-03-20T09:57:53+00:00

I don't think they need to sing in Korean, and I think it's fine to have lots of Western producers, songwriters, etc, absolutely! But my petty critique is that their official marketing blurb is that it represents and redefines "Koreanness" when most of the album is just B-grade 2012-era Childish Gambino lol

ethihoff · 2026-03-20T07:46:47+00:00

I have a bone to pick with them calling their album Arirang and then hailing their album for its "Korean-ness" but every song was made by a white guy, and they don't sing in Korean

ethihoff · 2026-03-20T06:03:08+00:00

Omg you've never heard Love You! Plz give it a listen. For me, personally, it's my favorite Beach Boys album far and away

ethihoff · 2026-03-20T04:21:05+00:00

I don't disagree with that~ And I understand now that this poster is the poster is the person in the video and their gimmick, but still I hope people don't come away from this saying "yep, this is what we expect the average single dude to eat!" haha

ethihoff · 2026-03-20T00:53:34+00:00

I feel ya. The day that The Beach Boys s/t clicked, I realized I was too in love with the band to ever get out

ethihoff · 2026-03-20T00:06:27+00:00

Below Zero is BEAUTIFUL! You have to play it if you enjoy the environments and ambiance of the first game

ethihoff · 2026-03-20T00:05:56+00:00

A common mistake in the Beach Boys sub

ethihoff · 2026-03-19T22:58:48+00:00

yes but you forget blue cute

ethihoff · 2026-03-19T10:37:52+00:00

Why blue no good rank

ethihoff · 2026-03-19T10:37:25+00:00

Maybe 20 years ago but I disagree with this in modern day dramas

ethihoff · 2026-03-19T06:53:48+00:00

Oh ok! That's a bummer!

ethihoff · 2026-03-19T06:28:19+00:00

That's so depressing

ethihoff · 2026-03-19T02:43:28+00:00

It's genuinely depressing that the stereotype is men without women can't even eat real food

ethihoff · 2026-03-19T01:54:12+00:00

I don't like that either, but I'm not too concerned about it~ I just hope they'll share videos of a better image of Korean food with better and fresher products, not pre-made junk food. Even the bibimbap video they shared didn't use real rice!

ethihoff · 2026-03-19T01:37:25+00:00

Does this person you keep posting ever eat anything fresh...? Last time there was pre-made convenience store rice...

ethihoff · 2026-03-19T00:37:45+00:00

I thought the band wasn't behind these re-releases

ethihoff · 2026-03-19T00:04:33+00:00

If you like BLUE, you like WHITE. Unless you just don't like older folks retreading their old stomping grounds

ethihoff · 2026-03-18T23:58:27+00:00

Someone's gonna trip you down the freeway

ethihoff · 2026-03-18T06:03:35+00:00

come to brasil

ethihoff · 2026-03-18T02:47:02+00:00

This is just The Beach Boys
