  • What a grandiose ending to a magnificent album. Fun fact: the “Nobody Likes You” segment is what kicked off the American Idiot sessions. Bassist Mike Dirnt was by himself in the studio waiting for his band mates to come back. The others wrote segments of their own and that inspired the medleys for Homecoming and Jesus of Suburbia. I love that they’ve started playing this live again.


  • The Beach Boys Love You is an incredible work of 70’s pop that is ground breaking, forward looking, highly personal, and yes, very weird. Listen to it then watch this if you want to learn more.

    My favorite tracks are Mona, Ding Dang, Good Time, The Night Was So Young, I’ll Bet He’s Nice, and Airplane.

    Brian Wilson is a complex artist and man. He didn’t always color in the lines of good taste or appropriateness but at it’s best his music touches into the very soul of what it means to be a person in the world: all the crazy highs and lows you can go through.
