The entire Gainesville music scene was built around songs: Top Forty songs on the radio, songs on albums, original songs performed on stage by bands and other musical ensembles. The late sixties was a golden age of rock and pop music and the rise of the rock band as a musical entity. As the counterculture marched for equal rights and against the war in Vietnam, a sonic revolution was occurring in the recording studio and on the concert stage. New sounds were being created through multitrack recording techniques, and record producers such as Phil Spector and George Martin became integral parts of the creative process. Musicians expanded their sonic palette by experimenting with the sounds of sitar, and through sound-modifying electronic ef- fects such as the wah-wah pedal, fuzz tone, and the Echoplex tape-de- lay unit, as well as a variety of new electronic keyboard instruments and synthesizers. The sound of every musical instrument contributed toward the overall sound of a performance or recording, and bands were begin- ning to expand beyond the core of drums, bass, and a couple guitars.

During a get rid of useless stuff phase, I reconsidered the items I had collected. I thought that since I had drunk what they held through the years and the fact that they would last forever, I should save some trash and make something out of them that might still have some life long after I was dead.

Each one I had devoted some of my time to. They were in a nice stack. There got to be so many that I decided to throw them out last year, but on looking at them, I saw how reflective the backs were and how light made rainbows and decided they would be better used as art than trash.

  • 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.

  • Catch a Wave: the Rise, Fall and Redemption of the Beach Boys Brian Wilson Pdf
    FREE CATCH A WAVE: THE RISE, FALL AND REDEMPTION OF THE BEACH BOYS BRIAN WILSON PDF Peter Ames Carlin | 368 pages | 06 Aug 2007 | RODALE PRESS | 9781594867491 | English | Pennsylvania, United States Catch a Wave by Peter Ames Carlin - PopMatters Superhero media has a history of critiquing the dark side of power, hero worship, and vigilantism, but none have done so as radically as Watchmen and The Boys. Aussie indie rockers, Floodlights' debut From a View is a very cleanly, crisply-produced and mixed collection of shambolic, do-it- yourself indie guitar music. CF Watkins has pulled off the Catch a Wave: The Rise trick of creating an album that is imbued with the warmth of the American South as well as the urban sophistication of New York. Canadian singer-songwriter Helena Deland's first full-length release Someone New reveals her considerable creative talents. Joe Wong, the composer behind Netflix's Russian Doll and Master of Nonearticulates personal grief and grappling with artistic fulfillment into a sweeping debut album. British rocker Peter Frampton grew up fast before reaching meteoric heights with Frampton Comes Alive! Now the year- old Grammy-winning artist facing a degenerative muscle condition looks back on his life in his new memoir and this revealing interview. Bishakh's Som's graphic memoir, Spellboundserves as a reminder that trans memoirs need not hinge on transition narratives, or at least not on the ones we are used to seeing. Seductively approachable, Gamblers' sunny sound masks the tragedy and despair that populate the band's debut album. Peter Guralnick's homage to writing about music, 'Looking to Get Lost', shows Catch a Wave: The Rise good music writing gets the music into the readers' head.

  • Barbara Ann Mejia Anderson Life Sketch
    Barbara Ann Mejia Anderson Life Sketch Barbara Ann Mejia was born on March 2, 1943 to Fulgencio Lagera Mejia and Marina Hendrickson, in the Queen of Angels Hospital, Los Angeles, California. Fulgencio was born and raised in the Philippines in the little town of San Nicolas. He came to America because it was the land of opportunity. He found himself in Los Angeles, California where he met Marina. Marina was from the little town of Four Mile Kentucky. It was against the law for Filipinos to marry Caucasian women at that time in California, so they had to travel to New Mexico to be married. Fulgencio joined the army during World War II and was sent overseas shortly after Barbara’s birth. Barb was three when he returned after the war, and she had no idea who her dad was. She quickly warmed up to him and they grew very close. Barb’s mom and dad both had to work two jobs each to make ends meet. When Barb was really young, she remembered being woken up at 4:30 in the morning and her mom wrapping her up in a blanket and taking her to her “Black Mammy” as Barb called her. As she grew up, a neighbor down the street watched her while her parents were at work. When Barb was young, she had a cat named Lucky. She loved her cat and it followed her wherever she went around the neighborhood. One day Lucky got into a fight with another cat, and her luck ran out. Barb and her friends buried her in a shoebox near the railroad tracks.

    Media Information im Auftrag: medienAgentur Stefan Michel T 040-5149 1467 F 040-5149 1465 [email protected] US PRESSE-SCHAU http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/beach-boys-to-officially-release-long-incomplete-album-smile-this- year-20110311 Beach Boys to Officially Release Long-Incomplete Album 'Smile' This Year Recordings will be sold as double CD and box set Kent Gavin/Hulton Archive/Getty Capitol Records have announced that they will be releasing the Beach Boys' lost, incomplete album Smile later this year. 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.
