"Too dumb for New York City, too ugly for L.A."

10,000 years

« on: April 01, 2009, 10:57:59 AM »

I hope this wasn't discussed before, if so, I apologize.

This song always fascinated me since I heard Dennis' backing track on a boot. I also heard Mike's recent version from MLNW and I wondered if anyone knows how exactly this song came to be written. Did Dennis write the music and brought it to Mike? Was it written around the same time as "Pacific ocean blues"? And does a Dennis- or Beach Boys-version with vocals exist?

a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

Remnants of this song became the intro for Friday Night on POB, and I also think Album Tag Song on Bambu evolved from 10,000 Years.

Thanks Jon !
Now that you mention it, I seem to remember a thread about this during the time of POB's re-release. have to check it out.

But you don't happen to know of any recorded vocals back then and Mike's involvement, do you?

No vocals that I've heard or that I'm aware of.

There's a tape in the Beach Boys archive, a three-part backing track, on "!0,000 Years" that apparently dates back to the sessions for a project that eventually led to "15 Big Ones." The first part of "10,000 Years" was later reworked and became the musical foundation for the song "Are You Real?" on the Bambu compilation. The rest of "10.000 Years" derived from an older Dennis recording from 1974 logged as "Dennis' Symphony," which eventually became "Friday Night," including an outtake section of the latter song that didn't make the final edit on "Pacific Ocean Blue."

Bit of a jigsaw puzzle there...

I just thought about this again. So is Mike's soloversion on his still unreleased "Mike Love not war"-album probably a way that a Beach Boys's version would've sounded like if it was released on 15 Big Ones or around that time. Or am I completely jig-sagged now myself...?

That's crazy how much Dennis changed his stuff around to be other songs, just like brother Bri.
