My little review via podcast is up at http://www.thebeachboyspodcast.podbean.com

hi all, just letting you know I have a new episode up where I let you know how you can contribute your lovely voice and deep thoughts to my little beach boys podcast: http://www.thebeachboyspodcast.podbean.com

love and mercy

you know, in the past I´ve tried to share the beach boys music with people I love, thinking that surely they will eventually get how awsome it is, even tried to trick them into liking it, by not mentioning right away that is is the BBS, but it often lead to the kind of experience you mention; the hurt when they turn it off or express dislike. Nowdays, I actually prefer to keep the music to myself and not try to open people´s ears to it, it just doesn´t work. however, hope you have a different response and the compilation choices seem good, but just don´t put too much hope into it.

love the drawing Will:)

in hindsight it´s a bit sad it wasn´t more ambitious, they were still young and could do a lot. I love it just because it´s one of the first beach boys albums I got into as a child so it has sentimental value. contrary to some, I also like dennis´ and brian´s rough voices on it, adds a bit of humanity and heart (and even pain)to some rather bland songs.

The entire "Love you" album. Seemed so goofy and unimportant at first, now I find it charming and sweet. still can´t stand "Johnny Carson" though..

Very brave of Brian the way he keeps putting himself on display. He does seem to be aware of the fact that people are expecting, and would ever prefer, him to act differently sometimes. Still he goes on. The moments of intense clarity he shows sometimes ("It was only a lawsuit...) is common for someone who has the mental diagnosis he himself has claimed to have. But most of the time it must be very hard.

As far as I know "region 2" is the european format so that should work fine. "region 1" is US and "region 0" is all. pretty sure about this. and of course, you could always watch it on the computer right?

new little episode up where I talk about "the beach boys good vibrations tour"-dvd and ask for your opinion: http://www.thebeachboyspodcast.podbean.com

Bruce Greenwood was a wonderful "Dennis" I think, even though Summer Dreams had so many faults. He just captured the soul. But I´m looking forward to this, what with all the cred Aaron Eckhart has, and he was excellent in Rabbit Hole.
