1966 WEST

I have always had a love for The Beach Boys. But tonight I think I may have found that thing people talk about when their eyes light up and they tell you the story of when they first heard, the turning point in music that is Pet Sounds. The bright innocence mixed with that extraordinary sound and yet still so accessible. Sometimes I wish I could have seen this country when she sounded like this...

I've really loved hunting through all the old clips on youtube and listening to the screaming girls and admiring the ground breaking themes being explored. Out West there was a true innocence to the exploration. So unlike the tortured art world of New York. It is this juxtaposition that has fascinated me all day.
