Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys is 60 years old today. Itās one of the most important records in my life and in the history of Pop. Hereās Nick De Caroās version of Caroline No, which I might actually prefer to the Pet Sounds original. That may seem like blasphemy to some.

Goodnight Patrick Campbell-Lyons of the original 1960s NIRVANA, a baroque pop duo. Jim Mcculloch introduced me to their music in the mid 1980s and I hadnāt heard anything quite like them before. They made some incredible records that deserve to be be more widely celebrated.

For me, one of the greatest songs of the 1960s/ greatest protest songs ever, written by Janis Ian when she was 13-14 yrs old. A mighty Shadow Morton production frames its devastating narrative perfectlyā¦and then our narrator gives it a final killer twist. Recorded August ā65
