So I've heard this mentioned before. I got a copy of Hums Of The Lovin' Spoonful and jeeze, I never knew this band was so freaking weird. Was Brian really a big fan of these guys? I've heard the story of Brian pulling over to the side of the road after hearing The Beatles and saying "they did it already", but something tells me that story is really about Lovin' Spoonful's Henry Thomas.

Funny seeing this as just this last few days I've been really getting into The Loving Spoonful. Can definitely hear why Brian loves them. Hums is the best, but Daydream has some beaitufl tracks too.

Edit: Been working on a LS best of with focus on mellow Brian vibe. For those with Spotify, here's a link:

Might just be me, but I don't see Brian being impelled to artistic despair by just under two minutes of second-rate hoe-down soundtrack.

John Sebastian has written some of the greatest pop lyrics of all time.  Hums is a great album, the Spoonful never has gotten the respect they deserve.  Henry Thomas is, uh, interesting.  But Rain on the Roof, Summer in the City, Lovin You, and Nashville Cats are all spectacular.

Didn't Brian get together with Sebastian around the time of his '88 album?
And John's brother (Mark) wrote the basic melody for SITC.  He also had some interactions with Brian years ago.

I don't know about Brian, but there are multiple interviews from 1966 where Dennis cites the Lovin' Spoonful as one of his favorite bands.

I really dig the "What's Up Tiger Lilly?" soundtrack they did. Never bothered with the film itself as I just don't 'get' Woody Allen's humour.
