## Resource

On this 49th episode of Good Timin' , we discuss the Beach Boys’ 25th studio album, The Beach Boys (1985). As usual with our album discussion episodes, we first cover some of the general history behind the record and talk about how it came together, and then we discuss each individual track on the album one by one and share our own thoughts and opinions on them. Following this, we cover Mike Love and Dean Torrence's legendary Be True To Your Bud (Budweiser Fight Song) from 1983, and then to close out the show David Beard discusses several of the recent issues of his Beach Boys magazine, ⁠Endless Summer Quarterly. (Note: Other mid-80s Beach Boys tracks like California Dreamin' and Chasin' the Sky will be discussed on our Still Cruisin' episode next month) Submit your listener questions for our 50th episode special here here!
