Music Mondays

A year or so ago, my wife and I rented "Love and Mercy" for our traditional Friday movie night. It's a biopic of Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. 

It's a very compelling story that gave me new insight into a musician and a band that I always enjoyed. It is  story that emphasizes the haunted genius.

Part of that genius can be heard in their classic hit songs. The interesting truth is, if you pull away the actual music and only feature the vocals, the genius comes through even more.


Acapella music has become all the rage in the last decade. I think it's safe to say that one of the artists (#StraightNoChaser), tv shows (#Glee), or movies (#PitchPerfect) hold a candle to this.
