The man responsible for dozens of Teenage Symphonies to God
"Sad songs about happy things" (the first time, as a kid, I can recall the sweet/sour combo of melodies that could make you cry attached to songs about endless, bottomless love)
I've long since lost track of how many weddings and funerals I've attended that have featured this song; suffice it to say, "a lot."
God only knows what we'd been without him 🙏🏻

given my tendency to post about the beach boys once a week, I have to post a rec for my goat. rest in peace, legend. if you havent listened to the beach boys or brian's music in general, I'd reccomend it to everyone. absolutely gutted that he's no longer with us. the beach boys have been part of my life for the last 14 years or so and I can genuinely say my life wouldn't be the same without his music. it was the first thing my now boyfriend and I talked about when we matched on bumble. I can still remember hearing Surf's Up for the first time and thinking it was the most beautiful song ever made- then sending it to my crush (we were like 10 btw) and being shocked when he didn't agree. he was one of my inspirations for picking up a bass guitar (along with paul mccartney ofc). his music has gotten me through tough times and brought out so many emotions in me. Im so gutted right now yall. love and mercy ❤️

Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t violate some PI.FYI golden rule
But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here:
https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/
The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s.
Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha).
For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❤️
