So, I threatened new material. And here it is!

Should maybe explain the context - my 'concept' album is essentially my love letter to Nilsson's The Point!, and was written by me and a couple of friends. Bear with me, but it's about a man who falls into a piano (where have we heard that before? Grin)  and finds a world called 'The Globe' in which hi-jinks ensue as he tries to get home. At any rate, I've been sitting on it for nearly a year and haven't had the chance to start recording it until now, so I'm really excited! This is the finale, and is suitably OTT

Hope you like it! Should have more bits and bobs to upload over the next couple of months if all goes to plan....

All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.

God must’ve smiled the day Brian Wilson was born!

"ragegasm" - /rāj • ga-zəm/ : a logical mental response produced when your favorite band becomes remotely associated with the bro-country genre.

Ever want to hear some Beach Boys songs mashed up together like The Beatles' 'LOVE' album? Check out my mix!

Great start for your concept album.

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

Very cool! I like the laid back vocals.
Were you inspired at all by "Add Some Music To Your Day"?

Nice man! I can definitely relate to this song.

Love the vocal arrangement in the bridge and tag. Keep it up!

Some really enjoyable bits there, hypehat. I love the sing-songy nature: definitely right in character for the finale of a musical. (I know you said concept album. I said musical. Damnit.)

Very nice Hypehat. I really admire you for trying out stuff that is more quirky and adventurous than some of the more straight-ahead efforts the rest of us post here.  Smiley
