I gave him Smiley Smile , Friends and Sunflower to listen to at his own leisure. <br /><br />He wasn't impressed.<br /><br />He called me up a few weeks ago and we were shooting the shit about music (he's in the midst of recording an album) and he told me that he regretted not getting into the Beach Boys back when I tried to initiate him. <br /><br />The turning point? A few years down the road, he picked up Smiley Smile and tried it out again. Didn't take.<br />Months afterward, he smoked a fat left-hander, put it back on and listened to it in headphones.<br /><br />He is now the proud owner of a huge collection of their discs.Sean Colemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948887847361064889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12331855.post-15086249591186847062010-01-11T11:10:33.235-05:002010-01-11T11:10:33.235-05:00Actually I've got the twofer with 'Surf...Actually I've got the twofer with 'Surf's Up' as well. I have to say I really struggle with 'Sunflower' even though everyone keeps telling me it's great.<br /><br />Oh well, I'll stick with 'Surf's Up' which I really DO like (except for that 'Cellblock...' abomination). 'Till I Die' and the title track are just sublime.music obsessivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16191742084494035205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12331855.post-46691293815410014262010-01-11T07:45:38.215-05:002010-01-11T07:45:38.215-05:00This is a great one, Charlie.

I think I'll have to dust this one off and give it a few more listens.Perplexiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09971805688658949769noreply@blogger.com
