There is a level of volume where you can literally feel the music. Being enveloped in a song like âDonât Talkâ is like being hugged by the color yellow-green.
Itâs a perfect album â emotional, nuanced, vibrant, transportive. Rest in peace, Brian Wilson.

sharing my favorite beach boys albums today to spread their music to yall after Brian's passing and starting with Pet Sounds, which is probably their most well known album. one of the greatest albums ever made, and very ahead of its time. despite how popular it is now, it was not well received in the US, as it was deemed âweirdâ by a lot of people. my favorites from the album are âGod Only Knowsâ, âI Just Wasn't Made For These Timesâ, and âCaroline, Noâ

synth-pop album that Brian Wilson has said was his favorite album he ever made, and I would have to agree. everyone loves Pet Sounds, but do you know the beauty of âDing Dangâ? this is the second album in the Brian's Back era, which started with 15 Big Ones and ended with the M.I.U. Album, where Brian was brought back to the public eye after a period of not writing, producing, or performing music with the group. my favorites are âSolar Systemâ, âThe Night Was So Youngâ, âHonkin' Down The Highwayâ, and âLet Us Go On This Wayâ

đ”Brian Wilson made Pet Sounds, widely considered the greatest record of all time. He also made this. Grab a pair of headphones and Iâll see you on the other side

đI was in third grade. Our teacher had a bob and she was kind. She gave each of us a journal, sheets of computer paper bound together by staples. She taught us that writing could as simple as writing down what happened to you that day to big, bombastic stories â real epics.
She carved out time throughout the week for us to write. This continued on for maybe a month. I loved it. Stories about monkeys fighting airplanes were interspersed with details about the bugs I collected at recess. Any bit of free time I had was dedicated to writing, both in school and out.
Within a couple weeks, the journal was filled. Probably bad writing, yeah, but it was mine nonetheless.
Fast forward a couple months. Third grade ends. Summer begins. I look for my journal. I canât find it. I ask my mother where it is. She said she threw it away. I cry. She feels guilty. We never talk about it.
Itâs maybe my first experience with grief. I felt legitimately connected to the experience of writing, and to experience actual loss, especially at that young of an age, changed my brain forever. Twenty years later, I write editorial articles at work and poetry at home. I still have a very tenuous relationship with the void lol.

Things that change are interesting to me. Light, humans, all plants, etc.
My favorite images were ones where the subject had some degree of mutability.

I met with a friend at Ernest E Debs park. As the sun sank, people congregated around the center lawn â lounging, hanging, mostly lying down on picnic blankets.
Soft, synthy beats emanated from a pair of speakers. The air cooled down from earlier. Trees swayed.
The world we inhabit is simultaneously terrifying yet gentle. Be open to it all; work to expand the latter.
