I've been known as serious caner of booze and various substances over the years, but really, how much stuff did Brian do in the late '60s?

It is over.

I feel that is the best option for it.

I shall give the album 3 stars, as I don't know what else to give it.

The Mount Vernon EP is both profoundly weird and completely rubbish.

It is a minor epic of self-indulgent, half-baked, half-*rsed drivel.

None of it makes any sense and it is embarrassing to boot.

However, it is by Brian Wilson/The Beach Boys so therefore it is a veritable rough diamond of the purest cultural ore.

The album Holland on the other hand is another sporadically wonderful curate's egg.

It is however - all things taken into account - a Beach Boys album and, I'm afraid to say that, once you get the bug...

A weird trip, no?

I don't really like the Beach Boys. I think it's the harmonies that does it for me. This one kept them under control, and was actually pretty good, if a little dull, when people who weren't the Beach Boys where writing the songs. And playing them.

The second one I think.

It was very rare and out of print for a long time, but got reissued in the '00s some time I think.

Like certain bands, anything connected with the BBs, generates interest amongst the slavish devotees.

Of which I would never say I was.
