60 years ago today, The Beach Boys released an album that subsequently defined the ‘60s, ‘Pet Sounds.’ 🐕

Mixing conventional instruments with more uniques tools and techniques, the album features stunning melodies and lyrical themes on love, failed romance, and loss of innocence.

What’s your favorite track off the album? Listen to ‘Pet Sounds’ in Hi-Res on Qobuz.

@spencernusbaum_ Even more incredible since the first series was packed for the Dodgers.

@PatThomas1964 @MickPuck Two great records!

[Phil @funoka]

@PatThomas1964 Interesting time for The Who and side projects. The Pete solo records are fantastic. Empty Glass, Cowboys, White City, what if they were Who records? 🤯Probably for the best the way it played out.

@mattpinfield Great story in NYT!

@PaulCharchian Cool helmets?

@wmataGM @BarredinDC @wmata @Nationals @dcunited @Capitals The hack to avoid crowds is to walk down to Nats Park from Capitol South and grab a brew @BullfeathersDC if you have time.

"I learned more from Carl Wilson than I learned from anyone else. He taught me a fuck of a lot of guitar playing. The man is a good guitar player. Carl's a good man and he's just so much fun to be around”

#ChurchOfRockAndRoll #81 Golden-voiced Carl Wilson resisted his draft notice to fight in the Vietnam War and sued the government as a conscientious objector. He won. He also led The Beach Boys through a fabulously hip and creative period, 1969-73 #CarlWilson #TheBeachBoys

@FlipsideVinyl The cleaned up version of Pretty In Pink is cool. I like both versions

[Phil @funoka]

@filthythanks @RichardS7370 Interesting cover with the song titles listed. They had pretty much quit doing this since the mid-60s. Maybe a throwback/nod to those early 60s folk records?

@mikegarson Hi Mike — sounds cool — also you got some love on the Billy Corgan podcast this week with Melissa Auf Der Maur

[Phil @funoka]

@FlipsideVinyl The Cars Panorama? It’s underrated!
