Hey..What are the symptoms of Mercury Poisoning? Maybe i shouldn't write this under the influence of a seaside diet. Does everyone think Beach Boys when they hit the sand and surf? I don't think the Boys ever did the definitive "beach" album though they did many great surf and sand inspired singles. I think that Brian Wilson's "No Peer Pressure" is a terrific beach listen. Melancholy and Joy happily coexist in many of the songs and works even better near an ocean.
"Quadrophenia" by The Who and "So much for the city" by The Thrills make me long for the sea when i'm landlocked and work well looking out at the 3 mile marker. I'll give honorable mention to Dick Dale's "Greatest Hits" and Squeeze's "Argybargy" that features "Seperate Beds" and "Pulling Mussels from a Shell". Random songs...."Everyday is like Sunday" "Some far away Beach" What do you listen to???
