New Music Monday: Bill Frisell, the Beach Boys, Nektar, Delbert McClinton and Glen Clark, Candlemass

Jun 17, 8:58am Something Else! Reviews

Bill Frisell used to time away at Big Sur to fashion a brilliant new addition to his on-going series of Americana jazz triumphs, and we look back at the Beach Boys when all three Wilson brothers were on tour. Nektar, those overlooked prog pioneers, is back with its initial album of original songs in some five years, providing a capstone [...]

The Beach Boys – Good Vibrations Tour (2013)

Jun 15, 11:59am Something Else! Reviews

For all of its well-deserved accolades, the Beach Boys' 2012 reunion was missing two irretrievable elements. This remastering of a 1976 performance at Anaheim Stadium makes clear just how important the late Carl and Dennis Wilson were. Carl, more than any other member of the band, seemed to embody the lost innocence of brother Brian Wilson's lost-soul symphonies. Without him, [...]

That Time Of The Month (Mikela)

Jun 14, 10:10am Side One: Track One

Like it or not, summer is coming, and there's little we can do about it. So instead of lamenting the heat from the confines of an air conditioned cavern, why not get out and enjoy the last few days we have left that are at least somewhat bearable? And if you, like me, are having a hard time getting into the summer spirit, I've tracked down some of my sun-soaked faves to get in the swing of things. There's an old family staple (Van Morrison), an indie mainstay (Pavement), and inarguably the best surf song of all time (Pet Sounds). [...]

The Beach Boys announce ‘Made in California’ box set with 60 unreleased tracks

Jun 12, 11:15am Death+Taxes Magazine

"Made in California" isn't just any box set, it's the Beach Boys' 50th anniversary box set, which is why the band looks a bit sleepy in the photo above—they've been at it for a while. Nevertheless, the six CD set contains over seven and a half hours of music. That's the length of "Pet Sounds" played twelve and a half times back-to-back, so let that sink in for a second: it's a lot of music. With The Beach Boys, it couldn't really be any other way. By my count, 20122s "That's Why God Made the Radio" [...]

Thirteen Obscure Cameos by Musicians in Film and TV

May 29, 12:01am Consequence Of Sound

There's no mistaking Davy Jones for Robert DeNiro or Steven Tyler for Marlon Brando. But film history is littered with cameo appearances that prove you don't have to be Lawrence Olivier to steal a scene. From George Clinton crashing frat parties in PCU to stage diving with the Mighty Mighty Bosstones in Clueless , many memorable celluloid moments have been made by bands stepping out from behind their instruments and on to the silver screen. But what about those not-so-obvious cameos? With both Kanye West and Drake set to appear in [...]

Throwback Thursday: The Beach Boys “Pet Sounds”

May 16, 12:40pm I Hope Your Ears Bleed

It was on this day, 47 years ago, that The Beach Boys   released my favorite record of all time.  I grew up on The Beach Boys, and was destined to be a fan, as the first mix-tape I ever received was a collection of Beach Boys songs given to me from my uncle.  But even beyond my biased opinion, this record is considered to be one of the greatest ever, topping several all-time lists, and being included in the top 10 of countless others.  So if you have never taken the time to listen to this album in its [...]
