A Beautiful Mind Soundtrack!

Love this song and his voice, father of Texas blues.

Closet opened wide ...

In my established (though dubious) habit of compulsive self-disclosure, here's Doris Day and 'Secret Love.' I'm not even joking, I love this one ...

For Josh ... wherever he may roam, my own favorite Beach Boys song.

You'd take that over "God Only Knows"?

Good call, yes, a few years ago that was THEE gold standard. I think that damn HBO thing tainted it some.

Warmth of the Sun, Wendy, Girls on the Beach, Not Made for These Times, In My Room, Good Vibrations ... but really, Don't Worry Baby is my favorite. Lots of artists covered the song - that can taint an original too - but it's never faded for me.

Something about the lyric ... Quintessential California teen, but deftly tempered with that classic Brian Wilson vulnerability.

I guess I should've kept my mouth shut
When I started to brag about my car
But I can't back down now because
I pushed the other guys too far

This one's a quirk ... drummer Dennis wrote one of their best.

[BroncoBuff]

Heard this song a few times recently with the Chilean miners, so I pulled out Joshua Tree couple nights ago. Good Gravy what an astonishing record ... as classic as any other. I can't name an album that's better.

Pick up this song @ 2:50 and give it two minutes. I dare you to tell me there has EVER been a more visceral, emotive singer ... the guy bleeds every word. And the Edge, wow. I'm not buying all that Paul Bunyan 'he taught himself guitar three months before their first album" nonsense. The sounds he gets and the way he uses them are magnificent, as unique as Bono's voice. At this point these two should really be mentioned in the company of Lennon-McCartney, Page-Plant.

I'm not sure of the HBO thing you speak of, so I really can't comment on that.

You know, I loved Keith Moon, but Man...did he damage that song for me.



Incidently, that album is a total headscratcher. Instead of doing what could've been an all time great album of drumming, he did bad zonked out covers. Proof positive that mid-70's California (and it's influences) was not a good place for someone like him to be. He simply never had the pipes to sing...well anything.

Had 20$ to Best Buy on a gift certificate so I bought Sevendust's third effort Animosity. I remember listening it to the first time back in 2001/2 on Thanksgiving with my cousin. Hah.

Dumb HBO show about an "extended" family of Mormon adulterers

HBO piggy-backed the first season of 'Big Love' right after The Sopranos during its final season, so unsurprisingly their abuse of that classic song was pretty widespread.

No way am I gonna click on that. As strange as it sounds, I think John Lennon played on that record, or was at least hanging out with Moon then. That mid-70s period was around the time he and Moon and Harry Nilsson were debauching themselves all over L.A.

[BroncoBuff]

'John from Cincinnati' was another HBO show that piggybacked The Sopranos at the end there, a damn good show I thought.

JFC was cancelled after a couple seasons, but they did choose a killer theme song ... I love this one.

[BroncoBuff]

Wow, good news ... looks like they saw the error of their ways.

Repent ye sinners!

Why Did ‘Big Love’ Change Its Credits? God Only Knows
By Dave Itzkoff

Perhaps the most surprising change in the new season of “Big Love” occurred before a single frame of the premiere episode had rolled: Gone was the familiar opening credit sequence that had introduced the show for three seasons, in which Bill Paxton, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Chloë Sevigny and Ginnifer Goodwin ice-skate their way through the Beach Boys’ “God Only Knows.”

In its place was a new (and rather, shall we say, “Mad Men”-esque) sequence that depicts the cast members falling through black space, accompanied by the Engineers song “Home.” Video of the new credits doesn’t appear to have hit the Web yet, but you can get a taste of it in these “Big Love” teaser trailers that HBO posted late last year, set to songs by Interpol and Animal Collective.

Around the ArtsBeat newsdesk, the new “Big Love” credits immediately polarized the two people discussing it: one loved the old sequence so much that he didn’t want “God Only Knows” played at his wedding for fear that people would immediately think of the show; the other said that she fast-forwarded through the old credits when she watched the show on demand.

Abusing a classic song like that - as the theme for a dumb TV show - is a greater sin than adultery

Ah, no wonder I didn't know what you were talking about. I remember seeing promos for that and just gave it the big el passo out of hand. I had zero interest in that stuff.

Yeah, you're right. A star studded cast backed Moon on it. What's sad about it is the fact that A) He doesn't even play on it and B) it wasn't intended as a joke.

You think about a Who track like the goofy "Cobwebs And Strange" from "A Quick One" and how wild and cool his drum breaks are on that, then think of what a solo album from him could've and should've been. All we got was this, this thing that I rank as one of the very worst albums ever made. It's just tragic.
