Two of my best friends from college (who have been dating for a couple years now) are visiting the Bay Area this weekend and I'm going to play God Only Knows on my violin while he proposes to her. I never fully appreciated how complex Brian Wilson's melodies are until trying to teach myself one.
Devastating. I was at the Bridge School Benefit on Sunday (Amazing. More on that later.) and My Morning Jacket played Oh Sweet Nuthin' in tribute with Neil Young, Elvis Costello, and Jenny Lewis. I broke down.
