The Beach Boys

Si Dieu existe, il y a quand même certaines choses qu'il a réussies: les paysages de montagne et les jeunes filles en fleurs; la filmographie d'Howard Hawks ou celle de Fritz Lang; le jardin du Luxembourg et ceux de la Villa Borghese; Raymond Roussel et Jules Verne; le Greco; la musique de Mozart, de Schubert, de Debussy et de Ravel, celle de Messiaen, de Berg...
et les Beach Boys! (Liste non exhaustive.)
Pour tout ça, merci Dieu!

  1. Whaou, autant d'albums des Beach Boys, c'est vraiment noel ! Merci Telek et Stilla !

    Depuis que j'ai découvert votre blog, j'ai supprimé le site Morandini.com de mes favoris et je l'ai remplacé par le votre.

    J'ai découvert cette chanson très soul des Beach Boys il y a peu de temps( en même temps c'est une reprise de Wonder ) et depuis elle ne me quitte plus : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hdsh3fQYizI

  2. Merci pour le lien, cher Rémi. Une chanson "très soul", dites-vous? Mais la musique des Beach Boys, c'est la quintessence de toute spiritualité, d'authentiques "prières adolescentes adressées à Dieu" (Brian Wilson)!
    Incidemment, qui est "Morandini"?

  3. Ravi de vous avoir croisé hier dans le pentagone de la folie. Comme promis, voici le lien vers un Beach Blog toujours en activité. Vous y trouverez quelques perles et des choses plus dispensables comme les bien nommées "Cocaïne sessions" de Brian et Dennis.

    PS : encore bravo pour cette photo hommage à Pet Sounds sur laquelle Telek fait preuve d'un courage certain dans ce face à face inégal avec un animal de compagnie certes petit mais sans aucun doute féroce.
