Playlist 01.08.08

I've been meaning to play some of the Dennis Wilson re-issue for a few weeks now. Other things kept getting in the way, like outside broadcasts and holiday pre-records. But on Friday night, I slipped in two tracks from the 'Pacific Ocean Blue' record. I've cued up the album on vinyl before, but this new CD collection is boosted by tracks from the 'Bambu' sessions, a follow-up to his 1977 wonder that's only been available on bootleg before. Now you can own the whole shebang for under a tenner.

You probably know that Dennis was the good looking Beach Boy, the only Wilson brother that could actually surf, and while his writing and performing was eclipsed by Brian and Carl, he stepped up to the plate after the 'Smile' disaster, and made his talents count.

And since we're on the subject, does anyone know where I might source a Dennis song called 'Carry Me Home', covered by Primal Scream on the 'Dixie Narco' EP?
