Hipsters, Love Your Beach Boys

In Brian Wilson/B. Boys
SEATTLE WEEKLY "The question then is whether the Beach Boys' influence is being projected onto the music by critics or truly being put forth by the artists. In this case, it just may be more the former. This year has already seen three Beach Boys–related releases: the 16-disc boxed-set rerelease of the Boys' U.S. Singles Collection: The Capitol Years, the reissue of Dennis Wilson's Pacific Ocean Blue, and the release of Brian Wilson's That Lucky Old Sun. So, yes, the Beach Boys are no doubt prevalent in the public consciousness this year."
