Title: "Pet Sounds" by Brian Wilson, Tony Asher and Mary-Jane Post by: ghost on September 01, 2011, 03:51:32 PM When did Brian begin seeing Mary-Jane for songwriting? I assume he just started chatting with her while hearing back music or messing around on the organ/piano but by Pet Sounds it seems she was ever-present at the writing scene. I was just listening to Kiss ME Baby and could see how the way the harmonies merge in would be very satisfying for a glassy eyed Wilson. I wonder, what would happen if Tony & Brian & Mary hung out again? :hat

Kudos to all!

Title: Re: \ Post by: Chris Brown on September 01, 2011, 08:25:49 PM As I've always understood, Brian started using marijuana during the making of Today!, before coming up with "California Girls." The story "California Girls" has always been associated with an LSD trip of Brian's.

Cool it. Title: Re: \ Post by: Mr. Cohen on September 01, 2011, 09:44:06 PM I read an interview where Brian said that he wrote a lot of the songs on Pet Sounds high (which we could've guessed). He said he'd get really stoned and play on the piano until he got in a groove. Then the chords would just come to him automagically.

The entire side two of 'Beach Boys Today' was influenced by pot! Title: Re: \ Post by: OneEar/OneEye on September 01, 2011, 11:25:12 PM You start an awful lot of threads.

Anyway, I'd love to see Brian work with Asher again. I think it would just be a blast to see what they could come up with. Title: Re: \ Post by: Andrew G.
