Wie Ihr seht ist das Heft wie versprochen etwas früher erschienen, um euch mit genügend Informationen zum Meeting und dem Jeff & Billy Konzert auch in schriftlicher Form zu geben. Die Idee mit der Infoseite im Internet ist anscheinend doch recht grandios in die Hose gegangen oder es wollen einfach keine CSler zum diesjährigen Meeting kommen... DAS KANN JA NICHT SEIN !!!! Also Leute, diesmal wird noch besser als beim letzten Mal. Das Konzert wird mit Sicherheit noch um einiges länger, Billy will Homevideos mit den Beach Boys zeigen, die Frage und Antwort Runde soll gemacht werden und und und. Wer sich also diese Gelegenheit entgehen läßt ist selber Schuld. Denn das wird mit Sicherheit ein Super Abend !!! Mein Aufruf sich zu melden bzgl. einem Nachfolger für Bernd Jansen (Druck) und als Meetingausrichter des nächsten, jetzt 2004 stattfindenen Meetings ist leider ziemlich auf der Strecke geblieben. Als Ausrichter hatte sich nur einer gemeldet (Danke nochmals Eva !!! ) und als „Drucker“ zwei (Danke Dietmar und Eva !! ), die dies zwar machen wollen, was schonmal eine tolle Sache ist, aber es nicht so günstig machen können wie Bernd bisher. Also, wenn sich kein anderer jetzt noch meldet, wird es dann hoffentlich einer von den Beiden dann machen und ggf. muß CS dann teurer werden. Und noch etwas aus der Verwaltung (muß leider sein): Ich bitte euch dringendst darum, daß ALLE sich, wenn schon nicht den Umschlag (dort steht über eurer Adresse „Abo bis ... „), dann doch wenigstens die beigefügten Zettel zu bemerken. Da dies ja der Fall sein wird und ihr feststellt, daß auch im letzten oder sogar vorletzten CS so ein Zettel war, dann überweist bitte nicht unedingt für nur weitere 4 Ausgaben, denn dann habe ich die Arbeit mit den Zetteln direkt beim übernächsten Mal wieder und das muß ja nicht sein. Ich würde mich über diese Aufmerksamkeit wahnsinnig freuen, da es wirklich einiges an Zeit erspart, da im Schnitt 35 Mahnungen pro Heft zu drucken, zu falten und einzutüten gilt. DANKE ! So, jetzt mal endlich zu den Inhalten oder den Nicht-Inhalten..... Die Pet Sounds Audio DVD findet eine größere Nische mit zwei Artikeln über das „Making Of“ mit Mark Linett, der wie schon häufiger sich für die technische Seite eines Beach Boys Produktes verantwortlich zeichnete. California Saga • September 2000 Brian wird eine Tour DVD/ Video im März veröffentlichen, leider gibt es zunächst nur die Infos dazu. Eine Besprechnung findet im nächsten Heft statt. Ebenso wie die für dieses Heft angekündigte Besprechung der neuen Wondermints CD. Außerdem findet ihr ein Jeff Foskett Interview im Heft, das dankenswerter Weise Alexander Knoll übersetzt hat (DANKE !! ). Eine kleine Preview auf CS 83: Review vom Meeting, ausführliche Bootlegbesprechnung des neuesten Materials, Mitgliederliste 2003, Review der neuesten DVDs, und noch vieles mehr. Deadline für CS 83 wird der 15. Mai sein. Bis zum Meeting Euer 4 California Saga • September JEFF FOSKETT UND BILLY HINSCHE BEIM CS MEETING (22. MÄRZ) Da nicht nur das Publikum, sondern auch Billy und Jeff selbst von der Veranstaltung hier im letzen Jahr begeistert waren, kommen sie dieses Jahr wieder zu uns. Dieses Mal wollen wir die Veranstaltung jedoch etwas größer aufziehen und das Konzert mit unserem Meeting verknüpfen. Damit möglichst viele kommen können, haben wir das Ereignis dieses Mal nicht in die Osterferien gelegt. Das wird dann folgendermaßen aussehen: Nachdem ihr 35 Euro abgedrückt habt (alles inklusive ausser Getränke) beginnt unser Meeting um 15 Uhr. Zwischen Kaffee/ Kuchen und Abendessen mit kaltem und warmen Buffet gibt es offiziell wie letztes Jahr die nicht stattgefundene Frage und Antwortrunde mit Billy und Jeff und privaten Kontaktmöglichkeiten. Billy möchte auch gerne euch ein paar Videos zeigen. Ab 19.30 ist Einlass für Fremdpublikum, so dass um 20 Uhr mit dem Konzert begonnen werden kann. Wie viele wissen sind die Beiden für Musikwünsche (bis auf Dennis´ Drums, damals von Manfred vorgeschlagen) ziemlich offen. Freut auf ein hoffentlich geiles Meeting! Veranstaltungsort: Bergischer Hof, Aufderhöher Str. 132, Solingen Datum: 22.März 03 Beginn Meeting: 15 Uhr Beginn Jeff & Billy Konzert: ca. 20 Uhr Kosten: 40 € (inkl. Meetinggebühren, Eintritt Konzert, warmes Buffet, Kaffee & Kuchen OHNE Getränke) Die Kosten sind vorsichtshalber etwas höher angesetzt. Wenn wir mit den Kosten am Ende zu hoch lagen, werden die Teilnehmer mit entsprechend längeren Abos „ausgezahlt“. Anmeldung: Wegen Essensbestellung (wir machen’s dieses Mal nicht selber) und um die Kosten zu kontrollieren und somit ggf. Euch das Event billiger zu machen, ist eine Anmeldung bei uns bis zum 11.3. ZWINGEND notwendig !!!! Spätere Anmeldungen für das Essen können nicht mehr berücksichtigt werden. Wer dann noch spontan kommen will, muß den normalen Eintrittspreis für Nichtmitglieder zahlen ! California Saga • September 2000 Ich weiß, das dies neu ist für euch, aber durch das Konzert sind wir im Prinzip dazu gezwungen. Ich hoffe auf euer Verständnis. Anfahrt: Am einfachsten ist es von der A3 kommend die Abfahrt Solingen Langenfeld zu nehmen. Dann Richtung Solingen und immer auf der B229 bleiben ,die nach ca. 4 Kilometer Auf der höher str. heißt. Unterkunft: Um Hotels müsst ihr euch dieses Mal leider selber kümmern !!! Eure Gastgeber Gunter Gries und Sabine Bohn e-mail:[email protected] Telefon:0102/10516 Fax:0212/202072 6 California Saga • September Celebrate The News Ende Januar hat ein Gericht nun das endgültige Urteil über den Namensstreit zwischen Al und Mike gesprochen – zugunsten von Mike. Al darf seine Band also defintiv ncht mehr Beach Boys Family and Friends nennen. Das Gericht meinte, dass Organisatoren manchmal durch die Namen irritiert waren und nicht wußten, wen sie denn da jetzt buchen würden oder gebucht hätten. * * * * * Brian Statement zum Tode von Maurice Gibb: „Maurice Gibb was one of my favorite Bee Gee’s because his voice was so expressive. It made me feel happy and feel really good to hear him sing. His voice had a joy to it that touched one’s soul. On a personal level, I loved his sense of humor and his spirit. He was a real friend to me. I remember when I inducted the Bee Gees into the Rock ‚n Roll Hall of Fame, and I sang „Too Much Heaven.“ I was blown away by the experience only to find out later that Maurice was feeling the same sentiments. I will truly miss him. At a time like this, all my love and prayers go out to his family, and of course, his brothers.“ * * * * * Die Knebworth DVD soll am 17. Februar erscheinen. Schaun mer mal.Laut Mark Linett soll die Pet Sounds 5.1 Audio DVD am 25.2.03 erscheinen. * * * * * Brian Wilson „On Tour“ Video/ DVD Anfang März wird es endlich die langersehnte Dokumentation zu Brian´s Tour auf Sancturary geben. Ersten Angaben zufolge soll es folgende Sachen beinhalten: • Unveröffentlichte Liveauftritte inklusive eines noch niemals performten Song überhaupt • Exklusive Interviews mit Brian von den letzten vier Jahren • Paul McCartney’s Rede über Brian bei dessen Aufnahme in die Songwriters Hall of Fame • Brian´s Auftritt beim Bridge School Benefit Concert sowie seine „Lehrertätigkeit“ für Neil Young, als er ihm einen Crash Kurs für „Good Vibrations“ gibt • Einen Backstage Überraschungsauftritt von Ronnie Spector von den Ronettes • Interviews mit Pete Townshend, Sheryl Crow, Neil Young und Patti Smith • Extramaterial zusätzlich auf DVD Track listing: California Saga • September 2000 Fun Fun Fun This Isn’t Love Don’t Worry Baby God Only Knows Ruby Baby Saturday Morning In the City Surfin’ USA Do It Again Kiss Me, Baby Sail On, Sailor Darlin’ Good Vibrations On Wisconsin Little GTO Vegetables Help Me Rhonda Lay Down Burden Back Home Caroline No Barbara Ann Viva Las Vegas Auld Lang Syne I’m So Young California Girls Add Some Music To Your Day

  • Brian Wilson's Spacious Estate in West Suburban St
    May 24, 1998---- The backyard of Brian Wilson's spacious estate in west suburban St. Charles overlooks a calm pond. A playground set stands near the water. Wilson slowly walks out of the basement studio in the home he shares with wife Melinda and daughters Daria, 2, and Delanie, 6 months old. Wilson squints into the midday sun. He looks at a playground slide. Then he looks at a swing set. Wilson elects to sit down on the saddle swing. In a life of storied ups and downs, Wilson's career is on the upswing. The June release of ``Imagination'' (Giant Records) is a return to 1966's ``Pet Sounds'' in terms of orchestration and instrumentation, with its the ambitious patterns of tympanies and snare drums. But equally important are Wilson's vocals, which are the smoothest and most soulful since 1970's ``Sunflower.'' Wilson, 55, has suddenly defied age. Mick Jagger and Pete Townshend are brittle rock 'n' roll barnacles. Ray Davies and Paul McCartney have matured gracefully. Yet here's Wilson singing with effervescent hope on ``Dream Angel,'' which he co-wrote with his co-producer Joe Thomas and Jim Peterik of Survivor and Ides of March fame. The song was inspired by Wilson's new daughters. They make him happy. He says that is why he is writing happy music. On ``Dream Angel,'' Wilson even returned to the tight, late '50s harmonies of the Dell Vikings (``Come Go With Me'') and the Four Freshmen - happy-go-lucky voices that influenced the Beach Boys when they were young.

  • The Heart of Rock and Soul by Dave Marsh
    The Heart of Rock and Soul by Dave Marsh 20 BE MY BABY, The Ronettes Produced by Phil Spector; written by Phil Spector, Ellie Greenwich, and Jeff Barry Philles 116 1963 Billboard: #2 DA DOO RON RON, The Crystals Produced by Phil Spector; written by Phil Spector, Ellie Greenwich, and Jeff Barry Philles 112 1963 Billboard: #3 CHRISTMAS (BABY PLEASE COME HOME), Darlene Love Produced by Phil Spector; written by Phil Spector, Ellie Greenwich, and Jeff Barry Philles 119 1963 Did not make pop charts To hear folks talk, Phil Spector made music out of a solitary vision. But the evidence of his greatest hits insists that he was heavily dependent on a variety of assistance. Which makes sense: Record making is fundamentally collaborative. Spector associates like engineer Larry Levine, arranger Jack Nitzsche, and husband-wife songwriters Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich were simply indispensable to his teen-art concoctions. Besides them, every Spector track featured a dozen or more musicians. The constant standouts were' drummer Hal Blaine, one of the most inventive and prolific in rock history, and saxophonist Steve Douglas. Finally, there were vast differences among Spector's complement of singers. An important part of Spector's genius stemmed from his ability to recruit, organize, and provide leadership within such a musical community. Darlene Love (who also recorded for Spector with the Crystals and Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans) ranks just beneath Aretha Franklin among female rock singers, and "Christmas" is her greatest record, though it was never a hit. (The track probably achieved its greatest notice in the mid-eighties, when it was used over the opening credits of Joe Dante's film, Gremlins.) Spector's Wall of Sound, with its continuously thundering horns and strings, never seemed more massive than it does here.

  • In the Studio: the Role of Recording Techniques in Rock Music (2006)
    21 In the Studio: The Role of Recording Techniques in Rock Music (2006) John Covach I want this record to be perfect. Meticulously perfect. Steely Dan-perfect. -Dave Grohl, commencing work on the Foo Fighters 2002 record One by One When we speak of popular music, we should speak not of songs but rather; of recordings, which are created in the studio by musicians, engineers and producers who aim not only to capture good performances, but more, to create aesthetic objects. (Zak 200 I, xvi-xvii) In this "interlude" Jon Covach, Professor of Music at the Eastman School of Music, provides a clear introduction to the basic elements of recorded sound: ambience, which includes reverb and echo; equalization; and stereo placement He also describes a particularly useful means of visualizing and analyzing recordings. The student might begin by becoming sensitive to the three dimensions of height (frequency range), width (stereo placement) and depth (ambience), and from there go on to con­ sider other special effects. One way to analyze the music, then, is to work backward from the final product, to listen carefully and imagine how it was created by the engineer and producer. To illustrate this process, Covach provides analyses .of two songs created by famous producers in different eras: Steely Dan's "Josie" and Phil Spector's "Da Doo Ron Ron:' Records, tapes, and CDs are central to the history of rock music, and since the mid 1990s, digital downloading and file sharing have also become significant factors in how music gets from the artists to listeners. Live performance is also important, and some groups-such as the Grateful Dead, the Allman Brothers Band, and more recently Phish and Widespread Panic-have been more oriented toward performances that change from night to night than with authoritative versions of tunes that are produced in a recording studio.

  • Wouldn't It Be Nice
    wouldn’t it be nice by lewis shiner hat if? It’s not just science fiction and fantasy that asks this w question, it’s all of fiction. What if a young student murdered his landlady to prove his moral superiority? What if a woman survived the Civil War and three marriages only to find true love too late? It’s also the question by which we transform ourselves. What if I quit my job and moved to the desert? What if I turned myself loose to create “a teenage symphony to God?” The Icarus who attempted that teenage symphony in 1966 is now 53. For Brian Wilson it’s been thirty years of struggle: with drugs and diet, with people who want to run his life for him, with the intensity of his own feelings. The good news is that Wilson’s life is finally his own again. He is newly married to a woman named Melinda, who is calm and sweet and loving with him. He has a new house in the safety of a gated community high above the city. And he is back in the public eye with two new albums and a movie on the Disney channel. The film is I Just Wasn’t Made For These Times, directed by producer-of-the- moment Don Was. The soundtrack is a kind of Best of Brian Wilson, live in the studio with crack session players like Jim Keltner, Benmont Tench, and Waddy Wachtel. This is not only a wonderful album in its own right, it represents a healing of other wounds.

  • Love and Mercy September 27 & 28, 2015
    ciné SARNIA presents Love and Mercy September 27 & 28, 2015 Please check our web site at www.cinesarnia.com for upcoming films and other information Director: Bill Pohlad Cast:: John Cusack, Paul Dano, Elizabeth Banks, Paul Giamatti Year: 2013 Runtime: 120 minute Country: USA Language: English Upcoming Films Oct. 18 & 19 : Phoenix Nov. 8 & 9: A Brilliant Young Mind Nov. 22 & 23: Infinitely Polar Bear Dec 6 & 7: Learning to Drive Love and Mercy You have to love a biopic that shakes things up. Just like Brian Wilson, the Beach Boys innovator whose gifts as singer, songwriter and producer were based on experimentation. Instead of one actor to portray Wilson, sidelined by drugs and mental illness, director Bill Pohlad gives us two, both superb in different ways. Paul Dano, who put on pounds to further the moon-faced likeness, plays Wilson during the 1960s, at the height of his artistic creativity. John Cusack, who looks distractingly unlike Wilson, plays the shaken genius during the 1980s, when he barely emerged from the pill-induced haze created by therapist Eugene Landy (a full-tilt Paul Giamatti). His rescuer is Cadillac saleswoman Melinda Ledbetter (Elizabeth Banks), who became his second wife. Does Ledbetter's consulting credit skew the film dramatically? Maybe. But the whip-smart script, by Oren Moverman and Michael Alan Lerner, neatly sidesteps cliché. So does Dino Jonsater's editing, which shuns the linear to skip between time periods until juxtaposition yields clarity. Musically, the film is a miracle, right and riveting in every detail. Just watch Wilson in the studio, coaxing musicians on "Good Vibrations" and Pet Sounds , which uses whistles, bicycle bells and barking dogs to approach what Wilson hears in his head.

  • Kesha's 'High Road' Is a “Defiant Reclamation of Lightness”
    Kesha’s ‘High Road’ Is a “Defiant Reclamation of Lightness” New Album OUT TODAY via Kemosabe/RCA Records LISTEN HERE Today, Kesha drops her new album ‘High Road’ (Kemosabe/RCA Records), reclaiming her throne as “the badass of pop” (Billboard). A delicious mix of debaucherous odes to living life to the fullest, reflections on self-love, and folk-tinged moments embracing all that makes us human, ‘High Road’ is the GRAMMY-nominated popstar’s most eclectic collection to date. Whether discussing topics of self-identity, free love, best friendship, heartbreak or childhood longing, ‘High Road’ expertly encompasses Kesha’s knack for heartfelt vulnerability, her wild child energy, and oddball sense of humor all with major modern pop integrity. It’s an album about not taking life too seriously, but it is done seriously well. For 'High Road', Kesha enlisted a diverse roster of collaborators / songwriters / producers including John Hill, Dan Reynolds, Stuart Crichton, Jeff Bhasker, Drew Pearson, Brian Wilson, Sturgill Simpson, Nate Ruess, Justin Tranter, Stint, Wrabel, and Pebe Sebert among others to help her make this celebratory chapter of her career a reality. Today’s album release follows last night’s incredible performance of “Resentment” on The Late Late Show with James Corden, and the recent announcement of her forthcoming North American spring tour. ‘High Road’ has already delighted critics, with Stereogum saying it “strikes a believable balance between vulnerability and the bluster she made her name on,” The Independent praising it as “a mature and defiant reclamation of lightness,” and AllMusic calling it “a heady good time”. Album standout tracks like “Tonight” (“100 percent your new night-out anthem” – MTV), “Father Daughter Dance” (“a crushing vocal showcase that no one could have expected” – American Songwriter), “Raising Hell” (feat.

  • OLLI Winter Session, 2018 Instructor: Pete Elman Course Title: "It's All About the Song" Sub-Title: "The Mount Olympus of American Pop-Rock Songwriters"
    OLLI Winter session, 2018 Instructor: Pete Elman Course Title: "It's All About the Song" Sub-title: "The Mount Olympus of American pop-rock songwriters" Course description and bio: The essence of popular music is the song; whether it is folk, pop, rock, rhythm and blues or country, the song is the core of the popular record. This course examines the lives and work of six great songwriters/artists of the golden era of rock and roll. We will study the contributions of Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, the team of Carole King and Gerry Goffin, Brian Wilson, Paul Simon and Joni Mitchell. Class description: The course will be broken up chronologically, focusing on one songwriter each week. Each session will include: --A thorough, background lecture about each composer, including the musical style most associated with them and stories, sometimes primary source. --A slide show with photographs, charts, maps and information on each composer. --In depth analysis of select lyrics from songs by each songwriter --Audio high-quality CD versions of songs --High quality DVD film clips and/or select youtube clips, of each songwriter or others artists performing that songwriter’s material. --A live music component, where the instructor will demonstrate on piano and guitar melodic and arrangement aspects of the songs that will help illustrate the writing style unique to each composer. The instructor will perform--often with special guests----songs by each composer. COURSE OUTLINE Week 1: Chuck Berry. He was rock & roll's first singer-songwriter, and the music's first guitar hero, as well. "If you gave rock & roll another name, you might call it Chuck Berry." (John Lennon) “His songs were concise and mythic, celebrating uniquely American freedoms or protesting their denial.” (Rolling Stone) Week 2: Buddy Holly.

  • Pacific Ocean Blue Bambu
    Dennis Wilson - Pacific Ocean Blue Produced by Dennis Wilson & Gregg Jakobson Released August 22, 1977 - Caribou PZ 34354 (CBS) Pacific Ocean Blue - Legacy Edition Originial Recordings Produced by Dennis Wilson & Gregg Jakobson Bonus Tracks Produced by Dennis Wilson, John Hanlon & Gregg Jakobson Executive Producer: James William Guercio Released June 17, 2008 - Caribou/Epic/Legacy 88697-07916-2 (Sony/BMG) Disc One Dennis Wilson had always been considered the quintessential "Beach Boy": not in a musical sense (that, of course, was Brian), but in a lifestyle sense. His love of surfing inspired the others to adopt the image that launched the band, and his further adventures in the worlds of fast cars, fast bikes, and fast women continued to fuel the imagination and song catalog of his older brother and cousin. But in the first five or six years of their career, his musical contributions were limited to drumming and singing backup (and sometimes not even that), with an occasional lead vocal opportunity (either covers of other artists or new songs that Brian and Mike would throw his way). However, with Brian Wilson's retreat from full artistic control of the band in 1967, the other members (Dennis included) began to be relied upon more and more for compositional and production efforts. Dennis' first contributions in this respect appear on the 1968 Friends album, and would continue over the next five years; tunes like "Little Bird", "Be With Me", "Celebrate The News", and "Forever" were highlights of the late '60s-early '70s Beach Boys era. In order for Dennis to evolve musically into something more than "just the fun-loving playboy drummer", he needed to master a melodic/chordal instrument well enough to compose on it.
