Needless late night update before bed here and I’ve just listened to Surf’s Up in full again after todays prompts. I’m never going to change my take that Lookin’ At Tomorrow is the stand out, but the album is supremely consistent and on tonights listen Disney Girls stood out a lot. That gentle gloom somehow full of joy and hope. What an album.

I should and will investigate more of their records. Music people. Music.

Disney Girls is amazing - it’s the first song on the album (apart from the title track) that grabbed me.

My favourite changes almost every time I listen to it. It’s one of those albums where even the tracks that are a bit iffy ( e.g. Student Demonstration Time) contribute to the whole.

I enjoyed Student Demonstration Time last night, that’s the 12 bar blues one I think (could be wrong, going from memory) and I was thinking it hit a note with the news from America at the moment. Anyway, fabulous album. No real duds and it hangs together really well.

mad how Jan and Dean and Beach Boys had exactly the same sound in the early 60s. Was gonna say BB ripped them off but it seems it was a bit more mutual than that. Anyway, where else am I gonna get to post this lovely slice:

Of all people, you just knew Mike Love would be a Trump guy.

Mike Love is the fucking archetype of the Boomer MAGA dickhead. He’s been riding that particular wave since at least 1985, looking sleazier and sleazier all the while.

Van Dyke Parks is a good and nice guy, though, and I’m glad he’s taking the piss of him

Oh yeah, that beef is nearly 60 years old. Love is the luckiest man alive that the Wilson’s were his cousins.

Mike Love simultaneously looks older but at the same time younger as each year goes by
