John Cale: Baker's Dozen for The Quietus

John Cale picked his favourite 13 tracks for The Quietus for their Baker's Dozen series. He started off with long time favourites The Beach Boys, with the superb I Just Wasn’t Made For These Times from their Pet Sounds album:

This demonstrated that pop doesn’t always come from a happy place. Case in point here!
