Enjoy An Album with Liam Withnail & Christopher Macarthur-Boyd

The Beach Boys - The Beach Boys Today!


Listen Later

In 1964, Brian Wilson married a sixteen-year-old and smoked exactly one (1) marijuana cigarette before having a mental breakdown and deciding that the life of a rock star on-tour wasn’t for him - he holed up in L.A. to write and record music, while the rest of the band would travel around the world playing concerts. The next year, they released “The Beach Boys Today!” - a reimagining of the Beach Boys style with no surfer songs, as well as production and harmonies that triggered a creative rivalry with Wilson’s heroes The Beatles and famous murderer Phil Spector. It is also #465 on the Rolling Stone list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Christopher and Liam get into it and over it on everything from paddleboarding, true surf culture, the cy clops, honking on bobo, Mike Love’s evil heart, and Del Shannon’s cover of “Do You Wanna Dance?” All that and more, plus a potentially surprising installment of Secret Posho, on episode 35 of Enjoy An Album. Enjoy!
