Check out the piles of bootlegs from "Smile"...Brian Wilson's would-be swansong that due to his massive drug intake and madness was never completed...some of that stuff is truly scary....easily as out there as any idm...of course Brian Wilson was fucked after that and the Beach Boys went back to being cheese supreme under asshole Mike Love's guidance (apart from some of the great Wilson tracks from the "Smile" sessions - eg "Surfs Up" - that were trickled out sporadically on following LPs)....anyone too goddam stiff to check out the music would be encouraged to read "Heroes and Villains - the true story of the Beach Boys" by Stephen Gaines....crazy shit......and has anyone listened to MoM's "Der Seele von Brian Wilson" (the soul of Brian Wilson) and recognised the Beach Boys' samples?? >i got one thing to say about the beach boys: > >"pet sounds" > >On Sun, 25 Jan 1998, .szalemandre. wrote: > >> > i think there needs to be a list policy where >> > anyone who likes the beach boys (admittedly >> > or not) should be removed from the list, dragged >> > from their homes and beaten in public. and then >> > have their innards torn out by rabid dogs while >> > the rest of us sit and have a good guffaw. >> >> >> dig this: there's a 3cd set of the beach boys with no music. it's almost >> every song they've ever done, the same recordings, but they just took the >> music out. it sounds so unbelievably good. a kid here at the station >> bought it and you don't even notice 'words' so-to-speak, they're just so god >> damn good all you hear is the 'music' of thier voices. due to the huge >> amounts of reverb, thier slow songs are really trance-inducing, hypnotic. >> it's really worth checking out. i can find some details about it if anyone >> wants to know. >> >> -eric
