#NowSpinning The Beach Boys - Surf's Up (1971) It's fitting that their most mature album features little Brian involvement, but his presence and influence is inescapable. Him not performing the title track* is unfortunate, but, thankfully the demos are out there. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity

#NowSpinning The Beach Boys - Love You (1977) I suppose the simple #surfrock era stuff is quite an unfitting tribute to Brian. I've seen lots of (well deserved) Pet Sounds love, but this silly slice of #psychedelic #sunshinepop was marketed as "Brian's Back!" #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity

#NowSpinning The Beach Boys - s/t (1970) This cheapo Pickwick comp is fairly inessential and concentrates on the #surfrock era including their great cover of Miserlou. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning The Beach Boys - Shut Down Volume 2 (1964) The Boys are just churning out albums at this point, filling up a full album with their harmony heightened hot rod hits and #surfrock smashes. Fun, Fun, Fun & Why Do Fools Fall In Love are the hits. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning Shut Down (1963) Capitol Records wanted to cash in on the #surfrock car music trend and The Beach Boys' success with this comp. The title track & 409 by Brian Wilson & the family plus songs by The Cheers, The Superstocks, and The Piltdown Men. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity

Pulling stuff for a Beach Boys marathon starting tomorrow. The question was always: Stones or Beatles? My mom was a Beatles person, my dad was a Stones person, but I was a Beach Boys person... from the early stuff all the way to the end. RIP Brian Wilson

Some funky old electronics at the Savers today. Also catch & release on a nice stack of Jimmy Smith LPs (Jimmy & Wes!), a few Lionel Hamptons, and other various jazz. I almost bought that live Marvelettes album, but they're charging $2.99 now & I just can't do it

I wonder how Jim Amendments is feeling right now seeing those pics of the National Guard all huddled together sleeping on the floors of Federal buildings.

I think I saw this on the cover of some antifolk album circa 2003.

#NowSpinning Gianna Nannini - Puzzle (1984) Synth-filled #newwave #Italopop from this singer who gained quite a following in Germany. In fact, this is a German pressing of the album. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning Renato Zero - Zerolandia (1978) Interesting, lightweight, fun Italian #disco #glamrock. A Roman Bowie meets Mott The Hoople? Marco Bolani and T-Rex? #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning Timbiriche - La Banda Timbiriche (1982) Kiddie #bubblegum pop with a #newwave twist from CDMX that launched many careers including Paulina Rubio and, a few years later, Thalía. I believe they started as a musical educational program. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning Sussman Lawrence - Pop City (1984) This ambitious sophomore album by the Minnesota band is a 2xLP affair filled to the brim with more of the great #powerpop showcased on their debut. Himmelman went on to record a few solo #newwave LPs & kids albums. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity

#NowSpinning Sussman Lawrence - Hail To The Modern Hero (1979) Top notch Elvis impersonation on this LP, but it's Costello and not Presley. Catchy, quirky #newwave #powerpop #punk from this group fronted by Peter Himmelman. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning Scott Jones - Solo (1981) This Twin Cities keyboard player/arranger plays all the instruments on this, his third album of nicely produced pop piano rock. His first is great outsider folk & #psychedelic pop, but he gets more conventional as he continues #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity

#NowSpinning Prince - Raspberry Bererlt b/w She's Always In My Hair (1985) Extended "New Mix" versions of these two Paisley Park hits. I probably should have played this on his birthday yesterday, but it'll kick off a short MLPS set instead. #NowSpinning #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning Freakout Guitars - Freakout!! The Great New Guitar Sounds (1968) This slab of groovy instrumental #psychedelic #surfrock exploitation has all the hallmarks of a Jerry Kole joint, but I can't find any evidence that he recorded this one. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky

#NowSpinning Thundermug - Ta-Daa!! (1975) Boogie filled hard rock and #glam from this London, Ontario group. This is the superior US press which swaps out two shitty ballads for much better tracks. Americans know Banga Banga Humpa Humpa is a hit. #NowPlaying #vinyl #VinylCommunity #VinylSky
