This remains an ugly cover but happy to find, all these years later, still a record I like a lot #nowplaying

I knew Brian Wilson was on SNL in 1976 playing songs from 15 Big Ones, I didn’t know he also did a solo piano version of Good Vibrations.

Started watching Saturday Night Live from the beginning (yes,yes glutton for punishment). On to S2E8. Presented by Paul Simon with a certain George Harrison as musical guest. Delightful.

Listening to The Raspberries LP Starting Over for the first time. I’ve had it sitting around since I picked it up last year. All that time wasted when I could have been listening to this! It’s great.

I’m sure you’re all already listening to the excellent Beach Boys podcast Sail On. No? If not, the most recent episode have The Lemon Twigs on as guests. An atypical episode but worth checking out. Includes Brian solo album chat.

Watched Questlove’s Sly Lives! doc on Disney+ and, as hoped, it was great.

Unfortunately I only had a slightly stressful 20 minutes of record shopping while in Warsaw but I did find this Freddie Hubbard record so it’s all good

I feel like wearing this in Scotland might lead to some misunderstandings.

There’s a great Edwyn Collins interview in the new Mojo. He’s in really good form and noticeably Grace, though close by, is not by his side for it. Lovely to see him doing so well.

Finished listening to Moon Unit Zappa’s book. Her reading of it is excellent and it’s recommended even if you are like me and have minimal interest in her dad.
