  The Beach Boys new album is out now and if the very fact doesn’t blow your mind, try listening to the single. While written and recorded by Brian Wilson, Mike Love et al, That’s Why God Made The Radio has an ersatz Beach Boys flavour, not unlike Kokomo but it fact weirder because at least Kokomo is a now familiar obscenity. There is also a cruising yacht rock vibe that is more '80s than '... Read More

Eagle and the Worm have slipped out in front of potential detractors, noting that Too Young “tips the hat” to Pet Sounds and Brian Wilson’s iconic psych pop orchestration. By “tips the hat” they mean emulates, without innovation. I’m not that bothered, really, and I don’t suppose anyone else will be, because they do a beautiful job of mimicking the Beach Boys and Too Young is a lovely, lush,... Read More

1. Randy Newman - Naked Man Naked man would have to be one of my favourite songs of all time. To me it's the perfect pop song. Plus, Randy Newman writes the music for Toy Story... and that's badass. 2. Tom Waits - Gin Soaked Boy I think that this is one of the best guitar/drums/vocals songs I've ever heard, the simplicity of the beat and the parts mixed with the best guitar tone... Read More
