The Library of Congress has just asked me (and I've accepted) to write the official essay on the Beach Boys and Pet Sounds for the National Recording Registry and the Library's historical archive.

Dang. Sweet deal.
You certainly deserve it, the FAQ is a favourite of mine.

a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.

- Lester Bangs on The Beach Boys


PRO SHOT BEACH BOYS CONCERTS - LIST


To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

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!

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

Congrats, Jon. By the way, my favorite part is your "(and I've accepted)." Because, um, OBVIOUSLY! Fantastic honor, I'm excited for you, as well as for everyone who comes behind us and reads it, knowing they will get accurate and well written information. It's a rare combo.

But go easy on the Dennis stuff, OK? (I'm kidding, I'm kidding!)

GREAT!!  Evidently some branches ( at least one) of the government know to contact the best person for the job, and get it done right the first time. 

Congratulations

Congrats Jon! Glad this is in your capable hands.

Don't forget the bits about how the wrecking Crew played on all the hits and how Mike Love killed Smile and the reuinion tour.

Seriously, though... how lengthy and indepth is the essay expected to be?

Well done!

For us non- american's, what format does this involve? Book, multi-page essay available online?

Due for the 50th anniversary by chance?

Great news again and evidence governments can do something right occasionally.   LOL
