	Beach Boys Family & Friends
		Brian Wilson, ultimately the creative force behind the Beach Boys (and one of the most respected people in music) is/was touring by himself alongside the Wondermints (currently known for the Austin Powers theme song).
		Overall, the concert was a blast and I'd like to thank the Beach Boys Friends and Family for coming.
		Mike Love is the lead singer for such Beach Boys songs as "California Girls", "Surfin' USA", and "Kokomo".

	Beastie Boys Message Board - Summer-y songs
		When I think of summer songs, I think of songs I used to play when I used to cruise around with my friends many years ago--instead of songs that have hot or summer in the title.
		Warmth Of The Sun--Beach Boys yeah I know you could put a million of their tracks on cos they are the sound of a summer!)
		My favorite summer song is Hot in the City by Billy Idol.

	Adrian's Album Reviews : The Beach Boys
		"friends" is the precursor to "sunflower" and an ideal companion for a sunny june sunday at barna beach in county galway.the beach boys most underrated opus.
		'Friends' is a great album, I agree with you there, but 'transcendental meditation' is a crap song and should have been replaced by 'I went to sleep' (which was recorded around the same time)--then it would have been a perfect record.
		Friends is one of their best and most underrated albums (although has many fans here), and an absolute pleasure to listen to.

	[ Adrian's Album Reviews - High Llamas ]
		'Hoops Hooley' is a definite highlight of this album, the finest approximation yet The High Llamas have achieved of the instrumentals from The Beach Boys 'Friends' album.
		The group retain a mix of instrumentals and 'proper' songs and cut down an album for the first time in their career to a more manageable length.
		Yeah, this is an album that's song based, primarily.

	REMEMBERING PAPA JOHN PHILLIPS
		The Beach Boys, however, were represented by Bruce Johnston, and Mike Love, who told the audience, "Nobody loved the Mamas and the Papas more than the Beach Boys." They sang "Kokomo," their 1988 hit that was written by Phillips, McKenzie, Love and Terry Melcher, who jumped in gamely on the unrehearsed rendition of the song.
		In keeping with the spirit of John Phillips' own freewheeling life, participants acknowledged his estimable musical contributions as a songwriter and vocal arranger as well as the tumultuous lifestyle that led to a nasty breakup with his wife, the Mamas and the Papas' Michelle Phillips, and his struggles with alcohol and drugs.
		Close to 300 fans, friends, fellow musicians and members of his large and scattered family turned out for a hastily assembled memorial for a man whose music evoked an image of California as seductively idyllic as his own life was wildly stormy.

	Death of a Beach Boy - People Magazine 1/16/84
		As friends and family mourned Wilson's death, they drew a portrait of a vastly untidy life, one forgivable in a teenager, pitiable in a middle-aged man. Athletic, wild and charming, he had the surfer's indifference to possessions, squandering millions on good times and friends.
		"The punishments were outrageous." Small wonder that Dennis, having discovered the exhilarating freedom of the surfboard at 13, would help inspire the band's vision of rebellion and freedom in the teen beach culture.
		Manson and Wilson apparently collaborated on one song (Never Learn Not to Love, on the Boys' 20/20 LP), but Dennis wised up and got the maniac out of his life some time before the grisly 1969 Tate-LaBianca murders.

	"I Write The Songs"
		He played it for two friends who had worked with the Beach Boys and were looking for a record deal -- Toni Tennille and her husband, Daryl Dragon.
		He recorded as part of the duo Bruce and Terry ("Summer Means Fun") with Doris Day's son, Terry Melcher, produced the Rip Chords ("Hey Little Cobra") and on April 9, 1965, officially became one of the Beach Boys.
		Bruce was driving on the San Diego Freeway, working his way up the steep incline toward Mullholland Drive, when he got the idea for "I Write the Songs." He took the next offramp and returned home so he could work out the tune on the piano, and made a cassette of his new tune.

	Brian Wilson :: Official Web Site
		Wilson’s emphasis on the creation of personal song shapes and personally chosen instrumentation has of course had widespread influence, notably with such important new pop thinkers as Sean O’Hagan of the High Llamas (who at one point in the mid-’90s was in discussions with the Beach Boys to produce their next album).
		The Beach Boys had at that point been a chart-topping band for four years with their slew of Wilson-penned teen odes to surf and sand, California gurrls, bitchin cars and dancin’ the night away.
		For his part, Wilson did feel perhaps too much responsibility to his clan, and the prospect of loosening the foundations for the hordes of family, friends and record company execs who depended on him for their livelihoods hit him hard.

		Wendy and Carnie sang together on "I Can Hear Music", another song in which Carl really shined, and they sang it beautifully.

	Joltin' Joe DiMaggio
		Only a handful of DiMaggio's old North Beach friends stood among the crowd, among them Peter Macchiarini, an 89-year-old artist who remembered watching him play in the minors for the San Francisco Seals.
		DiMaggio played 13 seasons with the Yankees before retiring in 1951, but his name was celebrated in song and story for decades after he stopped playing, and he projected a romance and mystique that aroused the souls and lifted the spirits of millions.
		DiMaggio, who died of lung cancer Monday at age 84 at his home in Hollywood, Fla., was eulogized by his brother Dominic, the only remaining sibling of the four brothers and four sisters with whom he grew up here in North Beach.

	Sail On Sailor by The Beach Boys Songfacts
		Luckily, Van Dyke Parks had a cassette of a song that he and Brian started, that being "Sail On Sailor." The Beach Boys polished the song, recorded it (without Brian's participation) and tacked it onto the album, replacing a Ricky Fataar/Blondie Chaplin song called "We Got Love."
		Brian's friends were then asked to convince him to write a surefire hit.
		This features a soulful lead vocal from guitarist Blondie Chaplin.

	The Beach Boys : 15 Big Ones - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		The album that followed, 15 Big Ones, balanced covers of rock and doo wop standards with seven new Beach Boys songs (including five Brian Wilson compositions).
		Most of the covers are mistakes, part of a misguided attempt by the aging Beach Boys to recapture the energy of their youth.
		Of the band originals, the good-time standard "It's OK" and the quirky, endearing "Had to Phone Ya" are excellent, reminiscent of Brian's odd pop songs on late-'60s albums like Friends and 20/20.

	Beach Boys Family & Friends
		This group consists of Al Jardine, his sons Adam and Matt, Brian Wilson's daughters Wendy and Carnie (who made up 2/3 of the pop group, Wilson Philips), and longtime friend of the Beach Boys, Billy Hinsche.
		It sounded very good and after the song Adam mentioned that this was first song Carl had a lead vocal on.
		Al came over and he obviously had a lot of patience.

		The Beach Boys recording of "God Only Knows" brings the song's warmth out thanks to a clever Brian Wilson vocal arrangement that contrasts Carl Wilson 's mellow solo vocal on the verses with multi-textured group harmonies on the bridge and chorus.

		Wilson adds additional ear candy with an orchestral pop backing track that layers warm horn arrangements and creamy strings over insistent percussion designed to give the song a dramatic pulse.

		From one song to the next, Enon are completely unpredictable.

		The band is praised for its catchy-yet-heavy music and lyrics that can be provocative, terrifying, funny or ambiguous, often all in the same song.

	Afternoon of Albums (Ftrain.com)
		This is a pop album, and the songs feel (do not sound) like Tony Bennett's “Boulevard of Broken Dreams”, or the SMILE sessions from the Beach Boys, or the White Album.
		The holes are only there because the people in the Shins are trying hard to write songs and play instruments and make the lyrics dense, warm, flowing, and engaging, so there's risk there, and they pull it off about 28 out of 30 minutes.
		Every song on this album is like taking one of those napkins and rubbing off a little bit of the bear fat.

	The Apples in Stereo
		The song, which appears here in both polished and demo form, is a sugary treat filled with "Ooo-waa Ooo-waa"s, and lyrics about the tribulations of being a superheroine who never has time to play with her friends.
		The band rounds out the disc with a beautiful acoustic outtake of "Stream Running Over" from their most recent album, and with a fairly bad live cover of the Beach Boys&; "Heroes and Villains." This latter failure to directly cover their heroes, however, only highlights the Apples’ skill at covering them indirectly.
		This rock solipsism comes very much in handy for a band like the Apples in Stereo, who’ve built a career on partying like it’s 1965.
