Downloaded on behalf of Unknown Institution 3RPP Preface in 2012, to celebrate fifty years since their music first hit the airwaves, the surviving members of the Beach Boys set aside decades of litigious acrimony and reunited for a months- long international tour and the group’s first album of all-new material in twenty years. Huge crowds danced and cheered, oblivious to a sea of incongruities: septua- genarians calling themselves “Boys,” song lyrics seemingly aimed at the sensibilities of their grandchildren, and striking differences between the youthful voices on their familiar hit records and the more mature vocal- isms of creative mastermind Brian Wilson, his cousin, lead singer Mike Love, and lifelong friend Al Jardine. But the shows were a success for the same reason that the band has always been a concert draw: soaring vo- cal harmonies, infectious themes capturing the pristine innocence of an idealized era, and a danceable blend of classic rock ’n’ roll with elements of doo- wop and jazz. In seventeen top- ten singles and thirteen hit albums of the group’s first four years, and seventeen more albums of new music in the ensuing decades, the Beach Boys amassed a repertory that would still be influencing the shape of popular music generations later, from the 1990s indie collective Elephant 6 to millennial alternative rock bands such as Animal Collective and Fleet Foxes. Other fiftieth anniversaries soon followed: Brian Wilson’s first number-one single as coauthor (Jan and Dean’s “Surf City,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 in July 1963); the Beach Boys’ first number- one single (“I Get Around,” July 1964); the Beach Boys’ first number-one album and first gold album (Beach Boys’ Concert, in the top spot in December 1964, certified gold in February 1965); the pinnacles of Brian Wilson’s artistic ambitions, in album for- mat (Pet Sounds, released in May 1966), in 45 rpm (“Good Vibrations,” number one and gold in December 1966), and in rock mythology (the unfinished Smile, 1966– 67). Lambert, Philip. Good Vibrations: Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys In Critical Perspective. E-book, Ann Arbor, MI: University of Michigan Press, 2016, https://doi.org/10.3998/mpub.9275965. Downloaded on behalf of Unknown Institution 3RPP vi Preface The history of the Beach Boys began as an apt reflection of their times. Their sun-soaked pop songs of the early sixties were just catchy and distinctive enough to share airtime with the British invaders. Later in the decade, influenced in part by a friendly rivalry with the Beatles, they evolved toward more ambitious album projects and immersion in the drug culture. Then, as Brian Wilson withdrew as exclusive leader, the band flirted with variable absorptions in pop styles of the seventies and eighties, all while releasing chart- topping greatest hits albums and con- tinuing to thrive as a touring band. Since the late eighties, when Brian Wilson began to record as a solo artist, the band has been splintered but never out of the public eye. What has stayed constant throughout this half- century is a core belief in the warmth and immediacy of blended vocal harmony and in the myth of the California lifestyle, rich with pos- sibility and opportunity. The Beach Boys can still sing about it because, in their lyrics at least, they still believe in it. Good Vibrations: Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys in Critical Perspective helps mark a milestone in this history by exploring the band’s legacy and place in American culture. The book brings together scholars of diverse specialties, hailing from four countries over three continents. The es- says gathered here take on the full fifty- year range of the Beach Boys’ music, from the perspectives of music historians, music theorists, and cultural critics. Together these new scholarly examinations will refresh our understanding of some of the familiar tropes in the group’s history, including the Beach Boys’ musical contributions to 1960s culture and the California myth; the style of their music, indebted in variable propor- tions to pop and rock traditions; and the legend of Smile, one of popular music’s most notorious unfinished albums. The book places special fo- cus on the individual whose creative vision brought the whole enterprise to life, Brian Wilson, without minimizing contributions made by others, such as frequent lyricist Mike Love. This focus helps to advance our un- derstanding of Brian Wilson’s gifts, first displayed in well-crafted songs of the early Beach Boys albums, equally evident in the group’s multipart vocal arrangements, and eventually expanding to include innovations in the recording studio. Fifty years of biographies and rock criticism have elevated Brian Wilson to his rightful place in the pantheon of American record- makers. After early spurts of revelatory journalism by the likes of Jules Siegel (“The Religious Conversion of Brian Wilson: Goodbye Surfing, Hello God,” Cheetah, October 1967) and Tom Nolan (“The Beach Boys: A California Saga,” Rolling Stone, October 28 and November 11, 1971), serious com- mentary on the Beach Boys and their creative leader began in 1978 with Lambert, Philip.

Downloaded on behalf of Unknown Institution 3RPP Preface vii David Leaf’s The Beach Boys and the California Myth (New York: Grosset and Dunlap). In 1994, Timothy White’s The Nearest Faraway Place gave the group a deeper historical context (New York: Henry Holt), and in 2006, Peter Ames Carlin’s biography Catch a Wave sharpened the focus on Brian Wilson and his personal triumphs and struggles (Emmaus, Penn.: Rodale). Other authors have offered richer accounts of watershed mo- ments in Brian Wilson’s creative evolution, notably Charles L. Granata’s Wouldn’t It Be Nice of 2003, a study of the circumstances surrounding the making of Pet Sounds (Chicago: Chicago Review Press), and Domenic Priore’s investigation of the Smile story in 2005 (London: Sanctuary). Serious scrutiny of music and lyrics began with Daniel Harrison’s es- say “After Sundown” in 1997 (in Understanding Rock, ed. Covach and Boone, New York: Oxford University Press) and continued with my book Inside the Music of Brian Wilson in 2007 (New York: Continuum) and Kirk Curnutt’s Brian Wilson in 2012 (Bristol, Conn.: Equinox). These latter three authors begin the collection of essays presented here. First, Kirk Curnutt explores the various critical responses to Beach Boys songs, in light of common perceptions of Brian Wilson and his au- thorial sensibilities. Curnutt lends a rich, personal perspective to the en- tire corpus of Brian Wilson’s work to date, offering valuable insights into the nature of celebrity and the limitations of biography.

Abstract Objectives – This project had two stated objectives: 1) to compare the location and concentration of Saskatchewan-based large ensembles (bands, orchestras, choirs) within the province, with the intention to draw conclusions about the history of community-based musical activity within the province; and 2) to enable location-based browsing of Saskatchewan music materials through an interactive search interface. Methods – Data was harvested from MARC metadata found in the library catalogue for a special collection of Saskatchewan music at the University of Saskatchewan. Microsoft Excel and OpenRefine were used to screen, clean, and enhance the dataset. Data was imported into ArcGIS software, where it was plotted using a geo-visualization showing location and concentrations of musical activity by large ensembles within the province. The geo-visualization also allows users to filter results based on the ensemble type (band, orchestra, or choir).

  • ANDERTON Music Festival Capitalism
    1 Music Festival Capitalism Chris Anderton Abstract: This chapter adds to a growing subfield of music festival studies by examining the business practices and cultures of the commercial outdoor sector, with a particular focus on rock, pop and dance music events. The events of this sector require substantial financial and other capital in order to be staged and achieve success, yet the market is highly volatile, with relatively few festivals managing to attain longevity. It is argued that these events must balance their commercial needs with the socio-cultural expectations of their audiences for hedonistic, carnivalesque experiences that draw on countercultural understanding of festival culture (the countercultural carnivalesque). This balancing act has come into increased focus as corporate promoters, brand sponsors and venture capitalists have sought to dominate the market in the neoliberal era of late capitalism. The chapter examines the riskiness and volatility of the sector before examining contemporary economic strategies for risk management and audience development, and critiques of these corporatizing and mainstreaming processes. Keywords: music festival; carnivalesque; counterculture; risk management; cool capitalism A popular music festival may be defined as a live event consisting of multiple musical performances, held over one or more days (Shuker, 2017, 131), though the connotations of 2 the word “festival” extend much further than this, as I will discuss below. For the purposes of this chapter, “popular music” is conceived as music that is produced by contemporary artists, has commercial appeal, and does not rely on public subsidies to exist, hence typically ranges from rock and pop through to rap and electronic dance music, but excludes most classical music and opera (Connolly and Krueger 2006, 667).

  • 1 Melody Midas's Judgment in Ancient Myths of Music, Melody Often Takes
    Melody “It is said, melody is merely a succession of sounds. No doubt. And drawing is only an arrangement of colors. An orator uses ink to write out his compositions: does this mean ink is a very eloquent liquid?” (Jean-Jacques Rousseau, 1781)1 Midas’s judgment In ancient myths of music, melody often takes second place to harmony. The story of Pan’s duel with Apollo, the god of music, established this hierarchy through unequal participants, but also planted a seed of doubt through a disagreement over the duel’s outcome. After speaking poorly of Apollo’s gift, Pan was summoned to a competition between his monophonic pipes and Apollo’s multi-stringed lyre. This was to be judged by the old mountain god, Timolus. While Pan’s wild melody coaxed and charmed the animals, Apollo’s ‘skillful thumb’ brought forth such ‘sweetness’ from his strings that the sound won over all listeners but one.2 King Midas defiantly disagreed with Timolus’ judgment, upon which—so the tale goes—Apollo promptly transformed Midas’ ears into those of an ass. Figure 1 shows Jean Matheus’ seventeenth-century engraving, which captures the scene, depicting hands raised, symbolically, in protest and power. While the tale scarcely conceals an official criticism of poetic form in which the bucolic is outranked by the lyric, it also offers license for a dissenting view of melody. For Midas’s pleasure in Pan’s melody, so shamefully written into his visage, establishes a precedent for defying the hierarchy of a cosmic harmony, for prioritizing melody as an autonomous form.

Smile was originally planned as the follow-up to the band's 1966 classic Pet Sounds, but the material was mostly abandoned due to creative mastermind Brian Wilson's fragile mental health at the time. Though no release date has been set, the official release of Smile will be sold as a two-CD set and as a deluxe box set including four CDs, two vinyl LPs, two vinyl singles and a 60-page hardbound book penned by Beach Boys historian Dominic Priore. The final track listing has not been announced, but disc one of the CD set and the first three sides of the vinyl edition will contain a close approximation of the Smile album, with the remainder collecting outtakes and alternate versions from the sessions. The Smile sessions have been widely bootlegged among fans for decades, but the proper track listing for the album has never been established, largely due to the fact that the record was never completed as intended. According to engineer Mark Linett, Brian Wilson's 2004 version of Smile has been used as the template for this project, though it could turn out a bit different depending on input from Wilson and the surviving members of the group.
