Saturday's Pick:
Brian Wilson (with Al Jardine) @ Terrace Theatre in Long Beach ($40-60) – I saw him do the Smile tour twice, but I’ve never seen him do Pet Sounds in its entirety. The Smile tour was way better than it had any right to be. His backing band is so good. Pet Sounds is one of my ten favorite albums of all time. If you still think you hate the Beach Boys, I recommend picking up the Wild Honey/Smiley Smile two-fer. Wild Honey was my gateway to appreciating Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys.

Wild Honey is one of my all-time favorites. It is one of the overlooked gems of the 60s, up there with The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society, The Who's song A Quick One While He's Away, the Basement Tapes, etc. After a while I realized that this LP is in actuality not psychedelic post-surf stylings like Pet Sounds, and of coruse it's not surf music either - it's white soul. And it's f**king amazing.
