✨ On August 3, 1963, The Beach Boys rocked the music scene with the release of “Surfer Girl,” a shining gem in their early surf-rock legacy! With its infectious melodies and signature harmonies, the track soared to #7 on the Billboard Hot 100, #SurfMusic #BeachBoys #MusicLegend #CaliforniaDreaming

Pale And Precious by the Dukes Of Stratosphere (XTC) is supposed to sound like a Beach Boys song which it does.

One of the former Beach Boys played Ding Dang live at a recent show, but he added an additional verse. I don't think he understood the song

Today in 1963 The Beach Boys' single "Surfer Girl" was released.

Peter Hook’s “I am the Captain now” band is also worth seeing for some early / mid New Order; kinda of a Beach Boys style show for Gen X alt music nerds

Beach Boy Blood (In My Veins)
YouTube video by Dave Edmunds - Topic Beach Boy Blood (In My Veins)

Dave's been a favorite of mine for decades, and I constantly wish more people knew about his work. One of my absolute favorites is a song that sounds almost nothing like his other work: a pitch-perfect Brian Wilson pastiche declaring his love for the Beach Boys

"Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys cited The Left Banke as an influence during his Pet Sounds period."

When Brian Wilson was trying to do a Beach Boys album in the '90s, he presented a breakup song to another member of the band for him to sing and in the song he used the name of the bandmate's wife who he was happily married to

Quite a few, but two of my main ones would be:

-‘ Fantasia’ doesn’t flop at the box office on first release in 1940, nor do ANY wartime American animated movies flop, both from Disney and Fleischer.

- The Beach Boys complete and release ‘SMiLE’ in early 1967.

It’s early 1970. What if Capitol Records decided to make a last cash in on The Beach Boys before they left the label?

I covered one of my favorite songs of all time: God Only Knows by The Beach Boys. This song brings out the emotions a lot harder know that Brian Wilson has passed. But his music will undoubtedly last for centuries. #nicotetrox #brianwilson #godonlyknows #beachboys

Baby, why don't we go?

Off the Aruba Keys
There's a place called Aruba
That's where you wanna go
To get away from it all

If the Beach Boys weren't indecisive

I saw Billy Joel open for The Beach Boys in the Vanderbilt University gym in December 1973, all by himself at a piano. None of us had ever heard of him, but we knew this wasn’t some random opening act.

I’m in shake shack wearing my Chris + Cosey shirt and they’re playing good vibrations by The Beach Boys and something Psychic TV covered really well actually. And there’s probably like 5 people in the world who would have been amused by this or who will even understand.

“Carry Me Home,” The Beach Boys (unreleased, 1972)

A sublime Dennis Wilson song, the band decided not to release this one, inexplicably, until it was included in a 21st century box set.
