God must’ve smiled the day Brian Wilson was born!

"ragegasm" - /rāj • ga-zəm/ : a logical mental response produced when your favorite band becomes remotely associated with the bro-country genre.

Ever want to hear some Beach Boys songs mashed up together like The Beatles' 'LOVE' album? Check out my mix!

In The Back of My Mind, but it has a long story... I was at an amusement park with one of my best friends, and we were at the height of our friendship, but then for misc. reasons we went our separate ways, she was incredible... and that night I was so happy, and I put "Today" on the turntable, like "foreshadowing" the future...

Yeah, I think 'In The Back Of My Mind (backing track)' is one of the saddest pieces of music I've ever heard.

- Wonderful (instrumental) (I'm really saddened that a full 'backing track with background vocals' wasn't included in the SMiLE boxset....that harpsichord and those angelic backing vocals are so beautiful together. I'll just have to listen to my Secret SMiLE mix of it).

- A Day In The Life Of A Tree - that coda is one of the most heavenly pieces of music I have ever heard.

- California Girls (instrumental) (stack-o-tracks) - again, the coda is friggin' amazing. I just imagine myself soaring through the universe when listening to that part.

- She Knows Me Too Well (both the album version and backing track with background vocals). Is very tearjerking.

- Surf's Up '67 - Didn't make me cry (close to), but it blew my f**king mind like no other song has. It surprised the hell out of me when I first heard that.

- Wouldn't It Be Nice - it takes me back to some really good times in my life.

I only cry at songs about dogs dying.

So did you seriously let out the sad for "Shannon" by Henry Gross?

No. I think it's because it's too sophisticated! Brilliant song.

I guess I only start blubbing at in-your-face dog death songs----"Old Brown Dog" by Ralph McTell, "Old Tige" by Jim Reeves, "Old Blue" by The Byrds...

Excuse me...

"I'll Bet He's Nice" can make a grown man weep with joy over the group tag/synth arrangement. 3D

The first 8 bars of "Don't Worry Baby" might be the best sound ever devised by man.  Still stunning after almost 50 years.
