Never heard of them but gather they're from Oz - nice track though

Thirty-four years later, I still talk, probably way too often, about the hour I spent with one of my musical heroes, Brian Wilson, at the Crescent for the Dallas Times Herald.

A diamond necklace played the pawn Hand in hand, some drummed along ... Brian Wilson From #BrianWilsonPresentsSmileLive (2004) www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DRt... How he handled the song as opposed to the (much) earlier #BeachBoys cut

Note the first song out of the 21 selected (in chronological order)

"Once I was in the Malibu emergency room getting a weigh-in and this guy walked up to me. He had curly hair and was on the short side. 'Are you Brian Wilson?' he asked. 'Yeah,' I said. 'Hi,' he said. 'I’m Bob Dylan.'"

If you have some time today, go down the rabbit hole and learn about the making of “Good Vibrations.” Learn about the Wrecking Crew, learn about tape splicing, learn about how crazy Brian drove the rest of the band trying to create the perfect song. And then listen to the perfect song.

Thinking about Brian Wilson like many people, and as well as all the other songs this song. m.youtube.com/watch?v=7RGT...

20 years ago we used to do a T-shirt that just said “God Bless Brian Wilson” in the Pet Sounds font and one day we got an email from Brian’s guitar player asking to buy them for the band. Obviously we just sent them to him. He sent us back a lovely letter and this. Treasure.

Nice one - it's that good old '50's chord sequence but utilised well

I have to give the nod of approval to this one notwithstanding Jim Reeves' splendid original version of the song plus the equally splendid one from Solomon Burke

There's a world where I can go And tell my secrets to In my room In my room R.I.P. Brian Wilson www.youtube.com/watch?v=hu0J... A semi-obscure early flip but it's great/brilliant as so many of those songs were/are - thank you Brian, this world is now much poorer without you

1000 Great Songs #999: Bohemian Like You. Penultimate track on our 1000-day journey is another fun one from @dandywarhols.com--a Stonesy riff paired with some 90s indie snark, saved from edgy meanness by a feel-good party vibe.

Never heard this before, very worth a listen
