Beach Boys - Don't Worry Baby (1964)
Beach Boys - Don't Worry Baby (1964) YouTube video by the rockabillie

My all time favorite Beach Boys song. The lush harmonies, "Wall of Sound" vibes and youthful innocence always bring me comfort and happiness. Brian Wilson was a genius. youtu.be/SvZHoF0A9WQ?...

Great record, don't sleep on Softly to Me. A shame Bryan and Arthur couldn't co-exist past Forever Changes

One to One: John & Yoko Is a Fascinating Time Capsule of Politics and Love One to One: John & Yoko uses a unique format to explore a politically and emotionally fertile in John Lennon and Yoko Ono's lives.

Was lucky to review One to One: John and Yoko, the wonderful new John and Yoko documentary about their first 18 months in New York. Check out my review here:

My favourite of Young's. Just a lot of fun, not always a word associated with Neil. Agreed on When You Dance..., but also have a big thing for Don't Let It Bring You Down. Till The Morning Comes and Cripple Creek Ferry are very short but very delicious little earworms

My favourite Adverts song! A torrent of furious language accompanied by the sound of guitars as a rampaging mass

Discovering Eraserhead at age 17 was the moment I felt like I had found 'my' cinema. Mulholland Drive is still my favourite film to this day. Peaks, Lost Highway, Inland Empire, Wild at Heart...list goes on. He inspired me to dream. Very, very sad news. Rest in Peace #DavidLynch.

Saw them live in 2012 when they were still promoting this album. Brilliant gig, ended with a storming cover of Open Up. Lydon introduced the band then said, "My name's John. I've been called worse..." 😂😂

I like that one, Come Live With Me and Temptation are great songs. I've got the first two albums on vinyl but don't listen to them as much as I should really
