Much like linguists, music dorks are no fun at a party. Next time you encounter a music dork at a party and they're spouting off about how Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is some sort of pinnacle of human achievement, tell them that the Beach Boys album Pet Sounds is better (even if you don't believe it). First, they'll be a bit shocked, like they just saw you shit on John Lennon's grave or something. Then they'll be insulted, because secretly they know Pet Sounds is awesome. After that, they'll likely turn their back to you and start rattling on about jazz or Captain Beefheart or something. You'll probably get the stink eye from them the rest of the time you're at the party, but don't let it bother you, you ruined their whole night in just a matter of seconds.Rating: 1966%

Hey, fuck you, buddy. Everyone loves talking about linguistics.
The beefeaters were always eclipsed by the shadow of Capt. Beefheart.
We were sure to include the Beach Boys in our wedding playlist because it reminded us of many a morning/afternoon/night at the flophouse.
Pet Sounds is great (and incidentally better than Sgt. Pepper). Our bridesmaids and groomsmen (including our dear Glenn), came down the aisle to our arrangement for violin and 'cello of "Wouldn't It Be Nice". November and December happen to be Pet Sounds "season" for me, too.
