Beach Boys Channel on Sirius XM

[HeyJude]

The car thing at least is a reasonable "gee, things have sure changed" train of thought and is somewhat endearing in a regular-old-guy-rambling-on kind of way.

But the "weirdly kind of taking credit for" (well said) the Wrecking Crew's livelihood and ability to buy real estate is just hilariously tone-deaf. I had no idea they were such a charity case.  

And I have to say a hardcore Wrecking Crew expert I am not; but I've always had the impression those musicians were already regularly-working musicians prior to BB session work. And frankly, if the BBs were going to take credit for it (whether justified or not), Bruce wouldn't really be the guy to do so as much as Brian (obviously).

I do think some of what Bruce is doing with the "that car would be worth so much now!" may just be a kind of typical old due waxing about the past. I'm not nearly as old as those guys, and I'm sure I've opined that stuff I owned as a kid might be worth a ton now.

But I do think Bruce's internal politics/ethos seems to place a higher-than-usual emphasis on money, even among rich old guys.

Again, I've known some folks who own extravagant things, both new and from the distant past, and they usually are the exact opposite of fixating on what something costs or what it's worth.

I've heard Caroline No from the Stars and Stripes collection and Timothy B schmit vocals a few times so far. I think it's probably the best song on that album right up there with Willie's warmth of the Sun

Yes, that is one of the few S & S tracks  that actually works as marriage of the B.B. style and country pop (dig that orchestral arrangement by Jimmy Webb).

Free trial ended, Sirius app deleted. It was fun while it lasted. Back to my custom playlists.

I enjoyed the run too!

I was able to use the app without even signing up for a free trial until this past weekend. Now I've just started the free trial that requires a sign in.

You might be able to sign up again for a free trial, perhaps using an alternate person/email address.

Can confirm.

Has anyone heard anything from the "Pacific Ocean Blue" album?

I see that Carl's solo work has been getting some play.

Anyone hear anything from Dennis?

They've played material from both the "POB" album proper as well as the second "Bambu" disc:











They're playing stuff from all three Carl solo albums (two solo plus the "Beckley-Lamm-Wilon" album) and are also playing live tracks from the weird grey-area releases:

Beyond what HeyJude posted, I've heard "Pacific Ocean Blues," "Tug of Love," "Constant Companion" and a bunch of others.

The channel proudly intros a "Brian Wilson Production", and proceeds to play.... "Humpty Dumpty" by Bob & Sheri. Not exactly a-list material.

And straight into... "Summer in Monterey" from Orange Crate Art!

It's kind of fascinating when the channel comes off a big schizophrenic, playing like two or three hits like "I Get Around" and "Surfin' USA", and then straight into "Humpty Dumpty" and OCA material.

Driving home I heard a vocals only of Caroline No.
Then after a snippet of Al talking about Glen Campbell's short time with the touring group they played two instrumental takes of Dance Dance Dance, followed by the final version with vocals.
A guy requested a song sung by Dennis. They played Mona. Wish they picked another one.
Also I'm Bugged at My Old Man, Lonely Sea, Long Promised Road, From There to Back Again...

[B.E.]

A guy requested a song sung by Dennis. They played Mona. Wish they picked another one.

I wasn't listening, but I'm fairly certain they're replaying that request and attaching it to different songs. I can't be sure, but I think I heard that request and they played Do You Wanna Dance? I thought it was interesting that he didn't request a specific song, he left it open-ended.

They played a truly terrible song by someone called the Nodeans or someone, saying it was a Brian Wilson production. Never heard of it before

"Beach Girl" by The Nodaens, Brian's buddy Dave Nowlen (of the Survivors) wrote the words and is singing lead. Here's the track:

Played two songs from Carl's "Youngblood" within the last hour.

Also caught the 1997 "The Wilsons" version of "'Til I Die" last night (forgot how 90s-sounding that cover was).

[southbay]

I have also heard "Mexico"; heard "Problem Child" twice

Got it. Honestly I didn’t too much care for it and I kinda feel bad about it.


One song I’ve fallen in love with that I wasn’t too familiar with has been Car Crazy Cutie. This channel has given me a new appreciation for the pre-Pet Sounds material

[Tony S]

Amazingly still have not heard where I belong from the 85 CD and the album version of all this is that. I think both of these offer great Carl Wilson lead vocals as well as great background vocals

[Shane]

Another "Brian Wilson Production" I heard played was I Do by the Castells.  I wonder if anyone has heard any Honeys or Sharon Marie material?  That stuff is some of the best BW productions outside of the Beach Boys.

As we've been saying, it's all anecdotal and it's impossible to know how often stuff is getting played, but I caught both of those 3-4 weeks ago when it seemed like they were playing them more often (especially BB '85 stuff):

While out driving this morning I heard Rachel and the Revolvers' "Revo -lution," then Luau a bit later.

[tpesky]

I haven’t heard All this is that either but I have heard the entire KTSA album at least 5 times over

I heard "Run Around Lover" with an introduction from Mike.

The rare alternate version of the song focusing on trying to get Al Jardine to stand.....
