Brian Wilson actually moved into the suburbs right down the street from me
Nobody knows why
He lived there for about 3-4 years and had a nice recording studio in his basement
Huge house
Really strange |

brian wilson is (or at least was) a musical genius. some of the beach boy arrangements he did are unbelievably beautiful. i think this will be an interesting collaboration. i mean, the charlie/keltner thing was great!!! so i am very excited about this.
mike love is a complete jerk.....no talent and has now stolen the name "beach boys" and he is the only original band member there, and he booted out al jardin. what the fuck? he'll get what he has coming to him..... |

You're right. Don't you just think "Kokomo" is awful? I can't stand it. |

oh yeah, kokomo sucked. actually, they hadn't done anything very good for a long time, and when carl died, that was it as far as brilliance/creativity goes for the beach boys. |

Man, this might just be the most pointless thing Charlie's ever done. And didn't Murray beat the shit out of his son Brian? |

Maybe I'm wrong kath but B. wilson just seems like an empty shell of a man. It would be akin to pug & joey instead of Joshy & joey, know what I mean? |

Well Again,
It appears they are in no hurry to get to that Rolling Stones album.
A. This means very good news on it.
or
B. Another sensless delay.
I am still betting on A. Mark those words.
Reguardless: I was happy to see Charlie doing something he wants to do. It is great because you know he is living life just as he did before. He's fine now! Great news.

This story is a bunch of malarkey. About as likely as a Mick Jagger/Mike Love collaboration. Apparantly it was debunked by Brian Wilson's "handlers" a couple of weeks ago.
Charlie's drum kit would have never fit in Brian's sandbox anyway. |

Couldn't disagree more. This was probably true in the past but not in the last few years. He is recording albums and giving extensive, highly entertaining tours. I personally saw two of these concerts. The first one, the entire album PET SOUNDS was played live and the second, he played the entire album SMILE. Both were great, fantastic shows. He is being backed by an amazing, talented back up band who are able to recreate anything the Beach Boys or the session players did in their prime. So, Brian Wilson is actually more active now than he has been since the 60's.
Also, in my opinion, the album SMILE is more than just an OK album. Thought the album was great and one of the better releases of 2004. True just about all of this material was recorded in some form with the Beach Boys back in 1966-1967 but still thought the freshly recorded SMILE was just as good or better than what the Beach Boys would have done. It's now a finished project. The real question is whether or not Brian has anything left when it comes to new material. His last solo album which was also released in 2004 was very average music. Nothing really special even though I enjoy listening to it occasionally. Maybe he can find the spark to create something as good as SMILE, PET SOUNDS; maybe he can't. What can't be disputed is it's just amazing he's performing live concerts and seems to have put some of the demons that haunted him for so long behind him to some extent.

The interviews with him that I've seen he looks like someone who has nothing left. It's like he lived the bad parts of the 60's without enjoying much of the fun. The whole piano's-in-the-sandbox thing must have taken its toll. |

The concerts I've seen tell a different story. The sand box analogy you've been using is also being taken out of context from a different time and place. The fact that he is giving interviews in the first place should tell you something is different. When was he giving all these interviews in the past???. I don't remember Brian giving many concerts during this sandbox phase you keep mentioning. Also the fact that he finished SMILE seems to indicate some kind of change has taken place. Now whether or not this translates to exciting new music is a different story but I personally found SMILE to be an exciting release. |

The fact that he's giving interviews shows that his handlers are letting him looser than in the past. Listen, he made some great music in the past & he's been through a lot. But the fact is that he's a bit odd & he seems disconnected from reality. I copied that Smile show from Showtime for some people here but I didn't get to watch much of it myself. If it comes on again, I will watch it & we'll see if I'm wrong. |

I'm not saying that Brian hasn't had some mental problems in the past or that he's completely cured now. He'll probably be mentally ill to some extent the rest of his life. The odd behavior you mention is merely an extension, symptom of his illness. I find it courageous that he seems to be confronting some of his problems now instead of hiding away, refusing to get out of bed & face the world. He seems to be enjoying life more than he has in the past. I just hope it continues and he finds some peace. As far as new material, he may very well be spent. The difference is now you at least have some hope that he may be able to do something new while in the past you basically had no hope. At the very least, this increased activity has caused him to finish SMILE, release a new studio album, and put on some great entertaining live shows.

Wilson means nothing to me. Though his recent shows here got good reviews. His music is to "twee" for me.
Like that word? "Twee" - love it. |
