this doesn't have to be a rhetorical question. just find brian wilson, play him "sung tongs," and ask away.

is he still alive?

"I remember writing that. I think. Was it for that one girl? Or...La la la la la la la la la la...Mmmm. Lunchtime!"

He'd probably have a lukewarm decision and it'd change and then his wife would tell Larry King that Brian actually believes the total opposite of what he said and Brian would remember that his wife was actually correct.

Never mind Wilson, what would Charles Manson think?

Hello kids, I love Animal Collective. They blow my mind!

I think he would find it very strange, probably not his cup of tea

His people would get Darian Sahanaja to listen to it and form an opinion then kid on that Brian had formed the opinion himself

A teenage symphony to dogs.

My guess is that he might compare it to a mouthful of sores.

Has he shown any interest at all in music made since the 60s? Never seen him mention anything.

― Mark (MarkR), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 17:37 (nineteen years ago)

did he choose to have the wondermints as a backing band because of their stuff, or because someone recommended them?

Anyone seen that Look! Listen! Vibrate! Smile! book about Smile? That guy's pretty funny. There's a picture of Brian yawning in there and he put a caption under it that says, "Brian listens to Sgt. Pepper."

I read an interview only a couple of years ago (in Mojo, I think), where Brian raved about "Magic" by Pilot. Which was a 70's record. So, that's something.

― James, Tuesday, 6 December 2005 17:46 (nineteen years ago)

He obviously only just remembered it

I recall reading an two-way interview between Brian Wilson and Sean Lennon in which Wilson had apparently heard enough of Sean's album to say something like "Hey, I really like those major seventh chords ... keep on working those major seventh chords."

Oh yeah, I remember reading that, too! It must have been in Interview or something, in like 1998.

Looked it up: Raygun, apparently. That's funny we both remember that.

he liked that 'dont give up' song, i remember that. new radicals?
i think he could get down with winters love and college. perhaps leaf house. i bet van dyke parks has checked it out by now, someone should ask him

is that charity thing where you give money and brian wilson calls you still going on?

give money, when he calls, play sung tongs. then ask him what he thought.

or if that's too much trouble, I could just tell you that he'd hate it. i mean, guy prefers paul to john.

I was just standing in line at the post office, and Macca's "Wonderful Christmas Time" tune was playing. I never really listened to it before, but would Brian Wilson say, "Hey, Paul totally took that sound from my Beach Boys Love You LP"?
