My Snoring Husband
Sleep is commercial. Life is a dream.
I love him dearly, but this fucking snoring has to stop.
If I hear another echo from my soulmate monster, my ears are gonna pop.
I know I’m being mean, but goddammit, I can’t sleep.
So instead of bitching to him, I’ll just write and let you read.
In the middle of the night, I lay awake and I'm distraught.
He’s not doing it on purpose, but he’s doing it without a thought.
If I'm being honest, I nudge him sometimes,
and then he gets quiet.
But then it starts back up,
And our bedroom sounds like a riot.
When the morning comes, he’s well-rested,
But my ass is looking crazy, 'cause all night I've been tested.
I greet him with coffee.
“Baby, you deserve an Oscar.”
He asked me, “For what?”
I said, “For that all-night performance; it was really proper.”
Now get your ass up; we’re going to the doctor!

'20/20'
"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.
