For those who are interested, I have set up my base on BlueSky to talk to more of you about all things Beach Boys! Feel free to join me here as well: https://bsky.app/profile/wavesandwords.bsky.social

Our latest episode is with author Lewis Shriner. His iconic work "Glimpses" captured the minds and the hearts of those who love historical fiction mixed in with the 1960s. His fictional descriptions of the Smile era were the first ever to be written about. The book is celebrating its 30th anniversary, and we were honored to talk to him about it: https://youtu.be/4Y2hvilrkIQ

The one thing that's been keeping me going despite the bleak reality of the U.S. going into 2025 is the hope that Al Jardine will do a solo tour backed by The Brian Wilson Band.

When he was interviewed about his plans for a potential tour, he made it very clear he wants to focus on 70s deepcuts. He even namedropped Roller Skating Child specifically like wow.

What 70s material would you guys like to hear him do? I think Lookin At Tomorrow would be gorgeous with his older, aged voice. And I feel like it's almost certain we're gonna hear Honkin Down The Highway with how much Al loves that one lol. Would love everybody's input.

(also idk about you guys but I'm gonna be tearing up the pit if he plays Ding Dang 🤘)

I have been a mono purist (bc that's how Brian intended), but after hearing the 2001 Remastered version of Little Deuce Coupe, I don't think I can go back.

Help, I need to know chat. Did this ever happen? My friend told me that it was an episode from the 60s series. Is it lost media?

Does anyone agree?
