"Went riding today and wore my old Beach Boys logo belt buckle!"

"I also wanted to see Brian Wilson's house, it was supposed to have a sand pit with a piano in it…"

"…and I also wanted to bring him a Diet Coke."

The man who is to many the unsung hero of the Beach Boys is celebrating a birthday today. Al Jardine, the friend and former schoolmate of the Wilson brothers, is 72 years old, born on September 3, 1942.

Jardine has been a member of the Beach Boys for almost their entire recording and performing history, apart from one year in the early 1960s, and was part of the emotional 2012 reunion that produced the ‘That’s Why God Made The Radio’ album and tour. But he’s always tended to get less recognition for his wonderful vocal dexterity, mid-range harmonies and rhythm guitar work than other members of the group.

Today we turn the spotlight on Alan Charles Jardine with a specially-compiled playlist of some of the Beach Boys tracks on which he had a starring role as vocalist and, often, co-writer or arranger. On many other occasions, he shared lead vocals, was a key part of the instrumentation, or indeed was in the co-production chair, as happened increasingly during the 1970s, especially while Brian Wilson was incapacitated.

The selection includes such major Beach Boys hits as ‘Help Me, Rhonda,’ ‘Then I Kissed Her’ and ‘Cotton Fields’ and the beautiful song from That’s Why God Made The Radio’ on which Al shares lead vocals with Brian, ‘From There To Back Again.’ We’ve also included the title track from the album with which he made his solo debut in 2010 (at the age of 68!), ‘A Postcard From California.’

Never one to seek the limelight, Al Jardine has been happy to have an intrinsic role in perhaps the greatest vocal sound in American pop history. We wish him many happy returns.

Not that Moog invented the theremin but he made big contributions to its popularity and accessibility to musicians.

And he built the thing heard on GV:

     Bob Moog's daughter, Michelle Moog-Koussa, explains:

     "In lieu of a traditional grave marker, our family decided to honor my father with a granite bench, which is near a tree in a peaceful spot -- a place that he would have liked to spend time and think. The two word tribute encapsulates so much about him. He is deeply missed."

From Rolling Stone:

Q: Finally, a previously unreleased instrumental song called "Theme," from 1976, surfaced online. What do you remember about that tune?

Chris Frantz: It's kind of a cool song. It was inspired by the Beach Boys. We played it for maybe the first six months that Talking Heads was in existence, and it never got recorded in a proper recording studio. But we do have a studio recording of it from a little basement studio of a friend of ours in the Shirts. We were practicing recording because none of us had done very much recording. So we would go from the Lower East Side over to Brooklyn and we would, thanks to the Shirts, use their little basement studio. We recorded that along with some other things, I recently baked the tapes and transferred them to digital, and they're surprisingly good.

     Is Brian your cousin?

     He said the word "cousin" 11 times in this interview. He said the word "Brian" 12 times in this interview. Wow.

No offense intended , PongHit, but I'm an asshole. so

Why would I be offend? It's not my show, I'm just passing on the link.

Apparently this guy's never heard of I-IV-V.

Incidentally, 'this guy' recorded this album:

"Cottonfields" in small store in my neighborhood.

     Carnie says Beck was "crass," then says this:

“All I know is that when they do the next one I am wearing a Kotex pad, because I f—ing peed on the seat for the last one.”

even made it into the Endless Summer tv series.

No, American Family.
