"I just wasn't made for these times," sang Brian Wilson on a recent episode of Mad Men, soundtracking Roger Sterling's old-school LSD trip. And so remains the master songsmith on this single – the title track of a forthcoming reunion LP with surviving Beach Boys Mike Love and Al Jardine – which sounds beamed in from a parallel universe where the calendar stopped around 1965. "Tuning in the latest star/From the dashboard of my car/Cruising at seven/Push-button heaven," keen the vets over vintage mid-tempo West Coast surf-pop, voices remarkably intact, criss-crossing like skyrockets during the title-chanting harmony cascade at the end. Kinda cosmic, sorta corny, undeniably beautiful.

“Karma Chameleon”

Boy George has said this song was about standing by what you believe in. However, at the time, he was involved in a secret affair with Culture Club drummer Jon Moss. "Now people can understand the songs better," he said. "They were written about my relationship with Jon, and they were also written about being a gay man in a homophobic world." The lines "If I listen to your lies, would you say/I'm a man without conviction/I'm a man who doesn't know how to sell a contradiction," described his life at the time, he said. "I was selling this big lie."
