The Brian Wilson Anthology Brian Wilson – Playback: The Brian Wilson Anthology (73:11, CD, Rhino/Warner, 2017) Die „Pet Sounds“ seiner Beach Boys werden ähnlich häufig wie „Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band“ oder „Revolver“ der Beatles als Geburtsfanal des Progressive Rock gewürdigt. Als Würdigung von Brian Wilsons Soloschaffen ist auch diese Compilation zu verstehen, auch wenn hier ganze Alben unberücksichtigt bleiben, z. B. „I Just Wasn’t Made For These Times“. Argumente, sich dennoch mit dieser Anthologie zu versorgen, liefern zwei bislang unveröffentlichte Songs sowie das zwölfseitige Booklet zum hübsch gemachten Cardboard Sleeve mit Liner Notes von David Wild, die sich sowohl vor der Wilson- Autobiographie „I Am Brian Wilson“ wie auch der vorzüglichen Filmbiographie „Love & Mercy“ verbeugen. ‚Surf’s Up‘ vom orchestralen „Smile“-Album wirft immer noch die Frage auf, was das Alan Parson’s Project zu manchen Gesangsharmonien inspiriert hat. Der exklusive Song ‚Some Sweet Day‘ war Anfang der Neunzigerjahre bei einer nie vollendeten Kooperation mit Andy Paley übrig geblieben, auch hier wird er allerdings keine Erdrutsche verursachen – ebenso wenig wie das gleichfalls unveröffentlichte ‚Run James Run‘, mit dessen 12-String-Klingeln die Scheibe ausklingt. Vorher gibt es aber noch nette Live-Versionen (‚This Isn’t Love‘, ‚The First Time‘), gibt es ‚Soul Searchin´‘, das Wilson um Vocals seines 1998 gestorbenen Bruders und Beach-Boy-Buddys Carl herum entwickelte. Ob man die zuckerige Gershwin-Interpretation ‚The Like In I Love You‘ oder das Disney-Soundtrack-Material ‚Colors Of The Wind‘ haben muss, ist Geschmackssache, wie letztlich auch die sich stellende Sinnfrage hinsichtlich derartiger Zusammenstellungen.

  • I AM BRIAN WILSON Brian Wilson October 11Th, 2016
    I AM BRIAN WILSON Brian Wilson October 11th, 2016 OVERVIEW: As a cofounding member of The Beach Boys in the 1960s, Brian Wilson created some of the most groundbreaking and timeless music ever recorded. Derailed in the 1970s by mental illness, excessive drug use, and the shifting fortunes of the band’s popularity, Wilson came back again and again over the next few decades, surviving and ultimately thriving. In his memoir entitled I Am Brian Wilson, he details the exhilarating highs and lows of his life from his failing memory, including the sources of his creative inspiration throughout the decades. - - - - - - - - - EARLY LIFE: Brian Wilson was born on June 20th, 1942 to Audree and Murry Wilson. Growing up in Hawthorne, California, Wilson exhibited unusual musical abilities, such as being able to hum the melody from When the Caissons Go Rolling Along after only a few verses had been sung by his father before the age of one. Surprisingly, a few years later, he was discovered to have diminished hearing in his right ear. The exact cause of this hearing loss is unclear, though theories range from him simply being born partially deaf to a blow to the head from his father, or a neighborhood bully, being to blame. While Wilson’s father was a reasonable provider, he was often abusive. A minor musician and songwriter, he also encouraged his children in this field in numerous ways. At an early age, Brian was given six weeks of lessons on a toy accordion and, at seven and eight, sang solos in church with a choir.

  • 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.

    GOOD VIBRATIONS : MY LIFE AS A BEACH BOY PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Mike Love | 448 pages | 14 Sep 2016 | FABER & FABER | 9780571324682 | English | London, United Kingdom Good Vibrations : My Life as a Beach Boy PDF Book By now, the myth was too strong, the legend too great. The sheet metal apprentice who crafted a sound for summer and never got the respect he deserved because his cousin Brian perfectly fit the fake hippy media's idea of a "tormented genius. Brian is, maybe properly, kind of a spectral presence throughout: Mike doesn't seem to have access to his thoughts at all, even in the early phases of the book where much is made about their powerful friendship. Vanity Fair. Sort order. It was hard enough to match the Beatles, but now he had to keep up with Mozart? Brian Wilson a mental mess. Thumbs up! Love would decline the offers to take drugs supplied by the hangers on and turned to Transcendental Meditation instead, studying with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in Of course, that was nothing new for Love, who has been branded, mainly by fans of Brian Wilson , as one of the biggest jerks in music, largely for his treatment of Wilson more on that in a bit. Nov 06, Wesley Britton rated it it was amazing. He always comes across as the least evil of the bunch. Sarah Rodman. Welcome back. I give it two stars because I did learn about the beginnings of the band which was interesting. Still, this is must reading for Beach Boys fans, and it works especially well as a complement and corrective for Brian Wilson's recent book, I Am Brian Wilson.

  • The Storm Also Rises by Tom Scheft
    The Storm Also Rises by Tom Scheft (published in the June 26, 1992 issue of Goldmine) * * * “You guys [the Rising Storm] really helped define the ’60s for me … much more than the super groups like the Beatles and the Stones.” Ron Fantasia, record collector “[We’re] like a dancing bear. It’s not how well it dances, but that it dances at all.” Bob Cohan, guitarist for the Rising Storm “I certainly can’t explain it. It’s curious and amazing - and obviously flattering - to think that something six high school seniors did for fun 25 years ago now is considered valuable to anyone other than those six people.” Todd Cohen, bassist for the Rising Storm * * * A while back, a friend showed me Goldmine’s 1989 article on the top 100 collectible record albums. I had been told the Rising Storm was a perennial pick, and there we were: The Rising Storm. Remnant 3571. A Calm Before The Rising Storm. 1968. $500. Mono. One of the collectible garage/frat records of the ’60s. Recorded by a group of college students in Massachusetts, this album features covers of Love’s “Message To Pretty,” the Remains’ “Don’t Look Back” and Wilson Pickett’s standby, “In The Midnight Hour.” The group got together a few years back for a reunion and recorded another album. Well . almost. First, the title was just Calm Before. Second, the year was 1967. Third, that 500- buck tag sounds reasonable, although an Italian collector recently paid $1,300 for an unopened copy. [Editor’s note: All prices in the article quoted were based on near mint quality, not mint -- i.e., unopened -- and were compiled from 1989 sales figures.] Fourth, the Storm did covers, but there were also five originals on the album.

    Over het boek Voor het eerst kijkt Brian Wilson, het legendarische muzikale genie van The Beach Boys, in zijn eigen woorden terug op zijn onstuimige leven, zijn wonderbaarlijke comeback op het podium en zijn hervonden creativiteit. Als medeoprichter van The Beach Boys in de jaren zestig heeft Brian Wilson baanbrekende en tijdloze popmuziek gecreëerd. In complexe harmonieën, symfonische structuren en verbazingwekkende songteksten verkende hij de hoge toppen en diepe dalen van het leven. Songs als ‘In My Room’, ‘God Only Knows’ en ‘Good Vibrations’ vergrootten de tekstuele mogelijkheden in de popmuziek. In de jaren zeventig ontspoorde Wilson door psychische problemen, drugs en de wisselende successen van de band. Wilson kwam de volgende decennia keer op keer terug; eerst als overlever, uiteindelijk als overwinnaar. Nu vertelt hij voor het eerst over zijn creatieve inspiratiebronnen, over zijn strijd, de slopende dieptepunten en de opwindende hoogtepunten. Uit Ik ben Brian Wilson Wat is dat eigenlijk, een lied? Iets wat begint als een idee en uitgroeit tot iets veel groters. In talloze interviews is me gevraagd wat er van me zou zijn geworden als ik in een andere tijd was geboren. Ik denk dat ik dan klassieke muziek zou hebben gecomponeerd, maar niet in de trant van Mozart, Beethoven of Tsjaikovksi. Mijn werken zouden eerder als die van Bach hebben geklonken, met gebruik van contrapunt, meerstemmigheid. Van alle componisten is hij voor mij de man. Ik hou van die hele Pet Sounds-plaat. In de studio zag ik het al duidelijk voor me. Daarna zei ik tegen mezelf dat ik het beste album had voltooid dat ik ooit zal produceren.
