A new prompt; Muse! What’s your insight?
Better just write.
Clearly, what should it entail?
Dainty detail.
Each work should, how about flowers?
Florid flowers.
Good lord you muse, by the powers!
How vague a thought you’ve given me!
I’ll have to try; I’ll have to see…
Just write dainty details of florid flowers:
———
“Kaleidoscope colors of spring
Lillie’s teetering
Marvelous pinks and whites and gold
Nasturtiums unfold
Orange sunspots where the sun shines
Parading lines
Quiet along walls where ivy winds
Reflections in the babbling stream
Send senses to a somber dream
Teetering nasturtiums unfold parading lines.”
———
Understand? The form’s an “Ovillejo”
Very nice
What did you think of the poem?
Xerox that one
You think I’ll win this one? What’re my odds?
Zero

"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.
