I’ll take a look at these and give them a shot when I get a chance! (I’m in the middle of working on a few other songs at the moment)

Any of these would be really awesome. Just saiyan. 

That’s a tape, that they made….

Another confession of mine accepted to this great & sometimes creepy Beach Boys Confessions blog.

Confession #91.

An old friend of mine recently came across this blog and asked if I had “gone soft” given all the contemporary indie rock I’ve been writing about and old Beach Boys stuff I’ve been posting.

I could explain my thoughts about the state of modern music today, or offer analysis of Van Dyke Parks’ lyrics (crows, cornfields, palm desert & all) and argue that all this is anything but “soft” ….

…but I’ll  just say The Who are still the best band ever in my mind period I don’t care what you say. 

Once I listened to this song on Laurel Canyon Blvd. near the end of a long drive home from San Francisco. Stopped off at the home of Norman Sachs,  a great but little-known songwriter of the same period who’s still around today.
