Comment:

I suppose there are a variety of reasons that long-time AOTM members/fans keep checking into the site... to share musical ideas with like-minded souls, to discover new artists, to proclaim our musical obsessions to the masses, etc. And, of course, sometimes, to shamelessly steal another poster's nifty idea for a mix and use it to recreate something of our own using songs from our own collections.
This, of course, is a tribute to (i.e. outright theft from) long-standing AOTM contributor of extraordinary (and often truly twisted) musical taste Ion Moe. Ion's long-running tribute to all things Beach Boys, Pet Soundalikes, represents AOTM at its very best. Ion's series (most recently up to volume 9) ranges from surf music to Beach Boys covers to music borrowing heavily from Brian Wilson's lush Pet Sounds/Smile era. I couldn't hope to achieve this sort of breadth, and instead focused on building a mix in the latter vein -- music that pays tribute to (or gloriously rips off) that mid-60's Beach Boys sound, full of dense (yet still relatively lo-fi) studio production, intermittent falsettos, occasionally ornate orchestration, soaring harmonies, and odd tempo breaks. I made sure to mix this without revisiting Ion's series, so while there is undoubtedly significant overlap of artists, I think there may be some variation in songs. Previewed it once since burning and, yep, it's yummy.
