I want his next album cover to be nothing but a photo of a glove embroidered with his initials.
Think about it.

currently sitting at 0.82 on RYM. after listening to it, I can say it is certainly not *that* bad, but if being a total jerkoff is a 1-star penalty then the rating makes sense.
second disc is hilarious by the way. the amount of auto-tune on this record makes me nauseous.
― frogbs, Thursday, 30 November 2017 21:43 (six years ago) link
Meanwhile it's sitting at 4.5/5 on Amazon, described by one reviewer as "One of the best solo albums by a beach boy and a sincere effort by Mike Love."
"One of the best solo albums by a Beach Boy" has to be some of the faintest musical praise in history.

Imagine "Commando" in the style of "Kokomo." In fact, imagine "Commando" as the direct prequel to "Kokomo."

Sixty plus years of existence and the Beach Boys will always be this tangled mess, finally turning into the full Jarndyce v Jarndyce it always was. The lawsuits will never be resolved in the end, I suspect.

Isn't there supposed to be like a registered trademark symbol after 'The Beach Boys Touring Group Licensed by Mike Love'?

Pretty sure that photo was from the first live performance of 'Transcendental Meditation'? I think they made the right choice in giving Brian the lead in the recorded version.
― Dr. Teeth and the Women (Old Lunch), Monday, 3 February 2020 22:30 (four years ago) link
I'd like to speculate that 'Transcendental Meditation' was Brian taking the piss out of the concept by making an atonal jazz-influenced song

The most effective pisstake of TM imo is that thing where Mike Love practiced TM for decades. Good one, Mike!
― Dr. Teeth and the Women (Old Lunch), Monday, 3 February 2020 22:44 (four years ago) link
Chippy sourpuss George Harrison was not exactly a great advert for TM either. Not to mention crazed egomaniac, Donovan.

― dad genes (morrisp), Monday, 3 February 2020 22:51 (four years ago) link
People also cite the extremely cranky David Lynch, who dedicates much of his time & energy to promoting TM, as a poor advocate for it. But imagine how much more visibly angry these folks would be without spending hours a day centering and calming themselves.
― don't care didn't ask still clappin (sic), Monday, 3 February 2020 22:52 (four years ago) link
of all the most famous proponents, Lynch is probably the best one tbh
