day 17, album 17


album of the day:
the beach boys "pet sounds" ~

everybody is familiar with the beach boys. if you are not, then shame on you! but i was mostly familiar with their radio hits (like 'kokomo') though i absolutely dig their sound. that's why when i thought about an album to listen to, i knew i would enjoy this one.

i don't think there's a better word to describe this album than saying it's simple. familiar voices, familiar instruments; they're simply playing different tunes. it's a very safe album to listen to if you like this kind of music. of course i dig it, there's no reason not to! i especially love the instrumental tracks. it's a saturday morning and i'm chillin' in bed (hungover, naturally) and this album is the most perfect thing to be listening to.

moral of the story: yes.
favorite song: 'wouldn't it be nice' and 'and sloop john b' and 'god only knows' and 'here today'
favorite lyrics: "wouldn't it be nice if we were older? then we wouldn't have to wait so long / and wouldn't it be nice to live together, in the kind of world where we belong" from 'wouldn't it be nice'
