Like fellow Hawthornean Brian Wilson, #EmittRhodes didn't merely write songs. He painted: Sublime miniatures of harmonic & melodic beauty; canvases sensitive to timbre & tonal mood; direct lyrical expression ("lonely leaking words") of unguarded feeling, one side dark, one light.

I've read no confirmation this is RICKY FATAAR, but my ears say so: laid-back & funky, while smashing & crashing. I say, the final mix placed the drums too low. This compensates!

Remember this was the same egomaniac to crap all over “pet sounds” only later to change his story to try to sell a book.

That notorious viral video of MIKE LOVE several days ago, immediately reminded me of "A HUNGER ARTIST" by FRANZ KAFKA. Now, this brief quotation by AL JARDINE cements it.
Al Jardine talks to Rolling Stone about his Beach Boys Reunion show, and gives an update on Mike Love’s health:
"Mike wants to be onstage...He doesn't know what else to do, so I think he's trapped"

The best part of the show was when Mick Jagger came out.

The best part of the show was when Mick Jagger showed up on stage to finish the beef Mike Love started at the 1988 rock n roll hall of fame ceremony.

Lovely, rare live recording by SIMON & GARFUNKEL. Such a gorgeous song. One doesn't even miss the stunning string arrangement from the original studio version.

Happy birthday to Giles Martin @mashupmartin. His dedication to his father and The Beatles' legacy continues to keep generations of fans happy.
I'm always up for another fan-mix of SMiLE. This one, uploaded some 5 years ago I discover, definitely has its interesting moments.

The excellent Rubber Soul remix is the Paul McCartney Bassline Restoration Project. nationalreview.com/2026/10/t…
The group (or Berry Gordy?) was foolish to under-utilize Paul Williams. What a vocal!
