After months of frustration, the Beach Boys abandon Smile to work on new music. But for Brian it's not that easy. He's quickly losing control. He's betrayed by those meant to be closest to him. And one of his brothers is flirting with a dark and disturbing group of people living on the fringes of society…a so-called family that may or may not infiltrate the warm and sunny climes of the Beach Boys' world.

A wonderful biopic of not just the Beach Boy Brian Wilson but the whole Pet Sounds era too.
Brian Wilson and The Zombies are touring together!!! I repeat, head Beach Boy Brian Wilson and recent Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees The Zombies are touring America together right now! To celebrate these legendary artists sharing the stage, we got 'em together at the first gig of the run for a Talkhouse Podcast conversation. The Zombies’ songwriter/keyboardist Rod Argent and singer Colin Blunstone roundtable some wonderful ideas with Wilson, fellow Beach Boys founder Al Jardine, 1970s Beach Boys addition Blondie Chaplin (who also plays with The Rolling Stones), and Darian Sahanaja, who’s played with Brian for two decades and was key in the making of the fantastic Smile LP. Their talk takes in the early days of The Beach Boys and The Zombies, and the bands' love of each other's music; challenges in playing songs you haven’t played in 50 years; recording Friends in Brian’s living room; and "balls out" Hammond B3 organ that'd make Argent proud. Check it out, and stay tuned after the featured conversation for clips of our favorite Brian Wilson and Zombies appearances on the show from 2016, including Brian and Carly Rae Jepsen in a "one-question wonder" chat from Pitchfork Music Festival, and The Zombies chatting with Hollis Brown at the Samsung store in NYC.

This month, Paul and Corey are taking a moment, well, two, to think about other people. Biopics! The word no one pronounces correctly. In this episode, Paul chose Love and Mercy (2014), a film with a slightly non-linear narrative and unorthodox casting that looks at two major moments in the life of Beach Boy Brian Wilson. Will Corey hate it?? You'll have to listen to find out... This Month's Theme: Biopics! This Episode's Focus: Love and Mercy (2014)
Welcome to the This Week in Music History podcast for November 12th to 15th, 2018. Looking at the week (pay attention class!) - a piece of cardboard written on by John Lennon in 1969 sells for €110,000, The Doors have problems with the word "High", in '76 Beach Boy Brian Wilson steps out of his room and much more.
Since the 1995 documentary “I Just Wasn’t Made For These Times” was released, ex Beach Boy Brian Wilson has deservedly undergone a resurgence in popularity. Musicians and fans have been reminded about the brilliance of Wilson’s melodies and arrangements as well as his troubled past. However, what most people don’t recall is that brother Dennis had also inherited some of that Wilson compositional brilliance. In 1977, he released an album called Pacific Ocean Blue – the only solo album released in his lifetime (Bambu was partly recorded, discarded, then released as a bootleg). In 2008, the album was given a brilliant CD re-release with Bambu and other bonus cuts - the ever so cheerful rock critic Robert Christgau rated it a "bomb". Yeah whatever, Rob.... I'm on my own for this episode (please take pity on me - the episode is mercifully short) to talk about the musical expectations of a solo album held for a Beach Boys drummer, Pacific Ocean Blue's themes, the troubled state of mind I imagine Wilson was in to write some of these songs, and how ultimately the two sides of the record reflect the two sides of Dennis himself. You can download the show from Spotify, iTunes (search for “Love That Album podcast”) or from the website at http://lovethatalbum.blogspot.com. Send the show feedback at rrrkitchen@yahoo.com.au (written or mp3 voicemail) or join the Facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/groups/lovethatalbum. If you’d consider writing an iTunes review or recommending the show to a friend, I’d be immensely grateful.
Paul Dano and John Cusack play Beach Boy Brian Wilson in this 2014 biopic. Spoilers! discusses the movie, the music and the madness. Stevie hosts $, Josh and Pappy. *********************** Love & Mercy (stylized as love&mercy) is a 2014 American biographical drama film directed by Bill Pohlad that focuses on the Beach Boys' co-founder and leader Brian Wilson and his struggles with mental illness during the 1960s and 1980s.

RARE & SCRATCHY ROCK 'N ROLL_056 - THE COMPLETE HIT SINGLES HISTORY OF JOHNNY RIVERS This episode features a talented singer, songwriter, producer, and record company owner who made a career primarily by re-doing rhythm and blues, country, rockabilly, and rock hits that were previously done by other artists. Ironically, his only #1 song, among his 32 charted records, was one that he wrote and originated. Along the way, he had a major impact on the careers of such stars as Glen Campbell, James Taylor, and the Fifth Dimension, as well as creating musical connections with teen idol Ricky Nelson and Beach Boy Brian Wilson. You’ll hear those stories along with the little-known narrative of how, before he became a star, our featured singer’s stage named ended up on someone else’s 45. Our resident rockologist – Ken Deutsch – will be along with that story, along with some other fun factoids throughout this podcast. We’re spotlighting Johnny Rivers. And we’ll sample all of his hit singles along with the originals he covered that were first done by other artists.
At Pitchfork Music Festival, we gave Carly Rae Jepsen the chance to ask head Beach Boy Brian Wilson any question she could dream of. Hear the "Call Me Maybe" singer kick off today's Talkhouse Music Podcast with her choice. Next, Stephen “Thundercat” Bruner and Kamasi Washington sat down to talk growing up playing music together, working with Kendrick Lamar and Flying Lotus, the last conversation Thundercat ever had with J Dilla, and much more. We recorded even more podcasts backstage at Pitchfork Music Fest, including Julia Holter and Broken Social Scene’s Kevin Drew, Porches’ Aaron Maine and Shamir, BJ the Chicago Kid and Mick Jenkins, and Spencer Tweedy and Whitney.

MAIN EPISODEOn this Podcast we look at the pseudo religious, psycho sexual, drug induced, identity erasing cult that graduated into a murderous gang that sought to ignite a race war to end all society. The archetype case of murder by mind control. The story of Charles Manson and the Manson family runs as a cautionary tale of the dangers of the desperate desire for notoriety and the relinquishing of one's mind in order to feel included and protected. We'll examine the factors of cults and their charismatic leaders and the all too familiar hallmarks of mind control. From his eccentric and unique early existence as a 'No Name' child through to his early criminal history and prison time we'll follow the life of Charles Manson. The influences like the Beatles and Bing Crosby that ignited his musical passions and the racial divides that soured his vision of society. Eventually giving birth to his dreams of adoration and power. We'll follow him to California as he set up house with Beach Boy Brian Wilson and producer Terry Melcher. Carrying in tow a selection of runaways and disenfranchised youth he used to propel his aura of a Christ like savior for the coming 'Helter Skelter' and the new age of Aquarius. Then to the Spahn Ranch where he retreated into the madness of his own twisted and grotesque view of existence. Throughout the sixties Charlie was escalating his control over his followers with increasing drugs and abuse. And the crimes he was ordering them to commit were escalating from violence, theft, rape, prostitution, kidnap to finally murder. Thus it was that the 1960's era of peace, love and freedom was brought to a shocking climax when in 1969 the Tate and LaBianca murders happened. In an atmosphere of cultural fear over satanic cults and ritualistic murder the brutal slaughter of the pregnant wife of filmmaker Roman Polanski and five others at their home led to the end of the family and Charles Manson. We'll discuss all factors and current information on Charlie and his followers and the theories of MK Ultra and CIA involvement.

Beatles researcher and film maker, Seth Swirsky, has created something incredible...a film called "Beatles Stories" that was 5 years in the making. In this heartwarming, honest movie he captures the true tales of people who have met The Beatles, worked with them, and been their friends. Tales that have never (for the most part) before been told. It is a film of great historical importance and of great interest. And Jude is thrilled to have him as her special guest on The John Lennon Hour. Tonight YOU can call in and chat with Seth about his encounters with Sir Ben Kingsley, the beloved May Pang, Denny Laine, Joey Molland (Badfinger), Mark Hudson, Henry Winkler (the Fonz), Beach Boy Brian Wilson, Graham Nash, Norman "Hurricane" Smith, Art Garfunkel, Luci Baines Johnson, Nancy Lee Andrews, Fred Seaman, Jon Voight, and so many more. Or you can sit back and listen to the rare and gripping stories he uncovered during his exciting days collecting Beatles Stories. Call 646-668-2641 to visit with Seth live and in person!
It was a masterwork in the making that suddenly became the Rip Van Winkle of records. That project was Beach Boy Brian Wilson's 1967 composition "Smile" which was finally released just a few years ago. Given the global economy of late, It's not surprising that car shows have endeared a similar soporific stage. With the auto industry riding a strong wave of creativity and sales throughout the decade, suddenly the 2008 economic meltdown shook the industry to the core -- something that not even auto shows could avoid. Iconic showcases like the North American International Auto Show became mere shadows of what they were just a few years earlier. While some manufacturers offered striped down exhibits, others didn't show up at all. But fast forward three years to the 2012 show where the NAIAS is once again at the top of its game and "Smile" is what manufacturers and the world press were doing as they viewed all the new product. Joining John McElroy on Autoline This Week from the floor of the 2012 Detroit Auto Show are five auto executives who are all smiles indeed. John Maloney is the CEO of Volvo of North America, Klaus Busse the Head of Interior Design at Chrysler, Fred Diaz is the president and CEO of RAM Brand, Ludwig Willisch is the new president of BMW North America, and Max Wolff the Director of Design at Lincoln.

Guest: Recording Artist Shayne Fair plus other special guests such as Bryan Cole, Colt Chambers, Jordyn Mallory, Kori Jean Olsen, Steven Bloom, Jaida Dreyer, Alyssa Simmons, and Eric Davenport drop by to share their holiday thoughts. Xmas episode. Shayne spent several years in Hollywood. He worked on album packages for everyone from Rod Stewart to Quincy Jones, art directed MTV specials for Weird Al Yankovic, and generally did what was required. Musically, he played on the soundtracks of several motion pictures and in a number of almost there bands in venues as varied as the biker bars of the San Fernando Valley to the Roxy Theatre on Sunset on a bill with Kris Kristofferson, Cher, Graham Nash and Jackson Browne. He established a recording studio, producing his own material as well as that of others including one of the first examples of the Compton Sound for an artist known as The Arabian Prince, a founding member of N.W.A. It became a KDAY staple and has become somewhat of a electro/hip hop classic. He scored a film and worked on the soundtrack of several more with old friend Steve Dorff. He recently put together a band for MTV star Alex Murrell and appeared with her on MTV. Steve and Shayne recently wrote for and produced the new album for former Righteous Brother and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member, Bill Medley, "Damn Near Righteous." It includes contributions by Phil Everly and Beach Boy Brian Wilson and was released to rave reviews.
