You know Breyers isn't actually ice cream, right? It's 'frozen dairy dessert'. It does not have enough butterfat to legally be called ice cream. Still good though!

Depends which Breyers you buy.

I like Ben & Jerry's the best, probably. Chocolate Therapy flavor. There's also a brand of gelato that comes in a clear container that's so good. I can't remember the brand, though. It's so expensive that I rarely buy it.

Brian is a much greater artist than Dennis ever was. The Beach Boys all the way.

The 1964 Xmas Lp is a classic and has stood the test of time well for me.. BB harmonies are a GREAT fit for traditional Xmas music.. This LP has probably sold ZILLIONS since 1964.. BW lead vocals are outstanding.. Now the 1977 XMAS lp.. ? Well I can see why it was rejected.. It is Half assed all the way.. Never should have been  released.. As a boot for collectors its OK but to the masses at XMAS time ..NO WAY.. And using the music from Kona Coast +  Loop De Loop is just plain LAZY + in bad taste.. And im aware of the history of these recordings.. There are some fine songs on here and some  OK songs and some total CRAP.. !  I really like Morning Xmas + Winter Smphony   .. WIRWFC is WAY better..1964 lp 5/5   1977 lp 2/5

I don't play this often but it is a fine 1st chapter of a hall of fame career .. I was pleasantly surprised by Lavender.. 3/5

For the time period this is a FINE LP.. And the cover was awesome for a 12 yr old boy learning to play the drums + guitar.. The Beach boys fighting against the British Invasion .. At this time BB were HUGE..!

Tomorrow I'll be covering a Stevie Wonder press conference, and I'll have the chance to ask him a question or two. Does anybody remember Stevie talking about the BBs version of IWMTLH or "I do love you"? I always also assumed that Brian's Moog bass lines were influenced by him, even if the BBs were using the Moog at least a year before Stevie

Thanks

Throw away .. Love vs Wilson + Louie Louie  + Denny"s Drums and you have a GREAT album with some superior cuts from the Vaults..

I'd like to see them go back and try to do this right just one more time.   this thing has been patched up and edited so many times that one more shot wouldn't hurt.   Use the take with Carl and Bruce As a starting point.   add Brian and Al and layer on that harmony.   I was disappointed that they didn't' get this right onMIC.

Breyers

I like almost any flavor of theirs, but Mint Chocolate Chip is my favorite. It's white, NOT the green colored stuff...
