@e_chatterji I cannot wait to read this. Congratulations Eva!! 👏

@jessicakiang @Glenn__Kenny It’s been a year of NOT updating the app on my iPhone. Still “Twitter” to me. 😉

@DarkCorners3 Sad that they had such a short film career… & that they are both gone now.

@JamesSurowiecki How often is a federal judge so openly in the tank for someone?

[Phil O. ☀️ @PObbard]

@BrianWilsonLive Absolutely love this song & LP, since it was 1st released. At the time, Rolling Stone called it "the best Beach Boys long player since 1970’s Sunflower, although Wilson is the only Beach Boy on it" & gave it 4/5 stars.

@JWOcker whaaaaaa 🤯

@emmademerath Just listened & learned a ton. Your "alternate sitter" theory is also very compelling!

[Phil O. ☀️ @PObbard]

@beachboyslegacy @capitolrecords Such a great song. Just wish Brian or Carl had left us a vocal for it, too!

@Marc_Fagel @theedarlingbuds I've never heard of them! Will check it out!

@LisaDNews He won’t pick a Governor - he didn’t llle the rare occasions when Pence had a spine. He’ll pick a House supplicant or a non-politician (Carson) who won’t ever 2nd-guess him.

@AstorAaron yes, in MA, we had a "smoking courtyard" at our HS, at least through the early/mid 1990s.

@prchovanec McSweeney's really hit the nail on the head here.

@JokermenPodcast Just realized the whole Endless Harmony doc is on YT. The soundtrack (which streams) is still a very good listen too - similar approach to Beatles Anthology CDs but IMO much more enjoyable as a standalone listen/career retrospective. https://t.co/0K2B4KvLQ0

[Phil O. ☀️ @PObbard]

@JokermenPodcast Enjoyed this EP. It's really surreal to compare the new Disney doc to 1998's Endless Harmony doc (which is very good, as I recall). For example, David Marks is a footnote in that one - maybe 1 min of interview screentime & Brian is interviewed extensively, playing piano etc.

@batcountry1980 Another example is the Ronno single from 1971 - same line-up as the Hype, but with Benny Marshall on vocals. https://t.co/dycy2z303K https://t.co/Y6uHDiPEVx

[Phil O. ☀️ @PObbard]

@batcountry1980 I agree that it seems to occur out of order - and that it's also more of a *band* effort than the Spiders LPs that would follow. The sound of the LP is even evident on songs Bowie himself doesn't appear on, like Visconti's "Clorissa". https://t.co/Z5PYdCiE8v

[Phil O. ☀️ @PObbard]

@ViceApologist Hot take: They should have just recast Taylor with Franciscus. It would have allowed for smoother storytelling & less repetition from the 1st film. OTOH, the clunky leading man swap makes the film even more insane in the end.

@jmarkcornwall @jesse_history Apparently disassembled, not destroyed, & maybe even restored a decade ago (but not displayed)? Hard to tell from this article. https://t.co/zlhgcYn0eU
