Today's song is Johnny Carson.

Love it. "JC" features one of the finest off-kilter cymbal smashes in the whole history of the cymbal smash.

Five!

I always imagined Wall Of Voodoo covering this song (go figure they covered Do It Again instead....). Mike and Carl sound great (even if their vocals are tongue in cheek). The backing vocals are solid. It's a bizarre song but a wonderfully bizarre song. FIVE!

Today's song is Good Time.

It's out of place on the album but it's a nice tune. I like the moog sounds. Brian's voice is great (waaay different than the rest of the album, but of course it was recorded during the Sunflower days). I kinda like the Spring version better. I'm going with THREE on this one.

Today's song is Honkin' Down The Highway.

Although I prefer Alan's own tongue-in-cheek version on Postcard, this one is pretty cool. Great chords in the bridge, great thumping drums and an enthusiastic lead.

Five.

A great rocker with Al in his usual great form. Not sure if I like the Love You version more than the Postcard version (Billy Hinsche's version is excellent as well).  The song always puts me in a great mood. FIVE!

Very solid rock offering, with Al giving a knockout performance on vocals. 3/5

Short, straight to the point, and thoroughly enjoyable. What more could you want? 4/5

I gave 4 as well. It's innocuous enough, just an interlude really.

It's my least favorite track on Love You. Shame because I love Roger McGuinn and I wish his collaboration with Brian was some knock-out track. But I don't hate the song, it's sorta amusing. But it's mostly just whatever....

It's entertaining, but it's too short and doesn't have much substance. 3/5 for me.

Today's song is Solar System.

For some reason the clanging synth in the chorus brings to my mind visions of planets revolving...

The middle eight sags a bit, the way some middle eights do, but the "starlight, starbright" bit with its cross-reference to (American) Spring's version of "This Whole World" is a redeeming feature.

Arguably Brian's most wacky waltz. 

Five.

Fun and silly and cosmic. I dig the synthesized textures on it. FIVE
