Brian Wilson was caught in California's magnitude 5.4 earthquake while filming his AOL Music Sessions performance on July 29, but that didn't sway him from talking to Spinner about the Golden State theme running through his latest record, 'That Lucky Old Sun.' On the album -- released today -- Wilson revealed that he portrays "the famous restaurants in L.A., the sunshine ... the health of people in California and the California girls."In a reminiscent mood, he admits that the iconic 'Surfer Girl' is still very much a part of his inspiration. Wilson told Spinner, "I feel the surfer girl is still alive. There was one in 1961, and there's one now. She's still the same, same girl.
"As soon as we finished 'Good Vibrations,' I said, 'You know, this is going to be something for people to like for the next 50 years. It's a timeless record,'" Wilson said, recalling his career with the Beach Boys. Returning to a California thread in 'That Lucky Old Sun' may be Wilson's way of mirroring that soundtrack of timelessness, and he stopped by the studio to share an intimate performance of songs from the album.
