Brian Wilson Songwriter 1962-1969 DVD


2010-11-23 -> popshifter.com
Each new documentary about Brian Wilson or the Beach Boys adds another drop to the ocean of product already available.
Many of them are the same old story, with poorly-researched information and no original music.
This is most certainly not the case with Brian Wilson: Songwriter 1962-1969.
At three hours of interview and analysis spanning two discs, the new release from Sexy Intellectual stands head and shoulders above its peers.

Larrry King Interview With Brian Wilson


-> transcripts.cnn.com
(Aired August 20, 2004 - 21:00 ET)


KING: A great pleasure to welcome to LARRY KING LIVE, one of the legendary figures in the history of music. Brian Wilson, the creative genius behind the Beach Boys has dealt with a lot of controversies over the years, come through it and we're going to discuss a lot about it. But his newest CD is "Getting in Over My Head" which might have double meaning. On that CD, Elton John records with him, so does Paul McCartney.

Brian Wilson. And with Brian is Melinda Wilson, she has been married to Brian since 1995 and she and Brian, by the way, have adopted three children, ranging in age from five months to seven years.

Carol Kaye interview/video

Uploaded 8 nov 2011


+ Many more on YT



Al Jardine talks about SMiLE (also in 2000)

July 28, 2000 Goldmine -> smilealbum.tripod.com
Al: In fact, “Heroes And Villains” at the start, was one of the first things we ever did, really early on, even before we recorded “Surfin'”; We were working on that song way back in '61. We all became instruments for Brian's barber shop concept. He said, “Let's all do this, let's sing this idea.” Carl would be one instrument, I'd be another. Mike would be another instrument.

Question: So the idea of “Heroes And Villains” was born back in 61.

Al: Yeah, the idea, not the song. We started singing a capella first because we didn't play instruments. With none of us really being players, we would just scat in the car going to a show or something or going to school, anywhere.

The men behind the ‘SMiLE’ and how a fabled Beach Boys album finally made it onto Billboard 200 album chart

-> blog.mysanantonio.com 'The Music Beat'

There are tapes from more than 75 sessions.

Linett has pursued the project for 25 years, beginning research (and the search for) the original master tapes.

“It’s the Holy Grail of Brian (Wilson) and the Beach Boys canon,” Linett said. “It’s totally unique and more complicated and involved in anything I’ve ever done in 40 years of making records.”

Think about it Joe: It doesn't have to be perfect. It's gotta be just kinda honest and live.


Nov 2011 -> smileysmile.net

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo......................It seems Brian Wilson's gonna work again with producer Joe Thomas, for a future Beach Boys album. Again, a try to get a 'radio friendly' hitrecord for the mainstream popmarket?

But remember that awful production of the Imagination album from 1998? That album that sounded as a complete dishonest LIE? Horrible drums, synths and sounds all over the place that have nothing to do with Brian Wilson style? Sorry Joe, but how can you produce music you don't understand?

WTF?

We'll wait and see. But beware of the plastic production and spanish guitars on every song. The Beach Boys don't need to sound like Bieber, Celine Dion or even Wilson Phillips. In My Humble Opinion, of course.

Goodbye Surfing, Hello God: Brian Wilson's Tortured Effort to Finish 'Smile'


Nov 3 2011 -> rollingstone.com
 In the kitchen, Marilyn Wilson was trying to get the meal organized and served, aided and hindered by the chattering suggestions of the guests' wives and girlfriends. When everyone was seated and waiting for the food, Brian tapped his knife idly on a white china plate.

"Listen to that," he said. "That's really great!" Everybody listened as Brian played the plate. "Come on, let's get something going here," he ordered. "Michael – do this. David – you do this." A plate-and-spoon musicale began to develop as each guest played a distinctly different technique, rhythm and melody under Brian's enthusiastic direction.
