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.

We're celebrating the release of Eddie O’Keefe’s film "Shangri-La Suite" with tracks picked by the director and film’s stars - Emily Browning, Luke Grimes & Avan Jogia. One Night — Elvis Presley Bringing it back to the classic early days of Elvis — not the latter-day one that the film’s main characters would set out to kill in 1974. I Want You — Bob Dylan A love song from Bob Dylan’s 1966 classic double album “Blonde on Blonde.” Last Kiss — Frank J Wilson and the Cavaliers The prototypical 1950s tragic teenage pop song. I Just Wasn’t Made For These Times — The Beach Boys This Beach Boys classic resonates no matter what times you were born in. I Found A Reason (Demo) — The Velvet Underground A Dylan-esque alternate version of the track from The Velvet Underground’s final album in 1970. Little Bit of Rain — Karen Dalton A great lost gem from Cherokee folk singer and guitarist Karen Dalton in the early 60s Greenwich Village scene. Half-Breed — Cher The film’s Native American characters are mirrored in Cher’s 1970s hit about the troubles faced by being part-Native and part-white in the USA. California Dreamin’ — The Mamas and The Papas What’s a film about 1970s America without California and The Mamas and The Papas? Nights in White Satin — Moody Blues A staple of the “Shangri-La Suite” era. Cool Summer — Bob Lind Bob Lind is a deep-cut classic of the early 60s folk movement. Girl From The North Country — Link Wray Electric guitar pioneer Link Wray covers Bob Dylan to upbeat and devastating effect. (Read Eddie’s in-depth discussion of this track at Aquarium Drunkard.) Hurt — Timi Yuro A soulful heartbreak classic. Not to be confused with the latter-day Johnny Cash song. (Also check out Eddie’s take on this song and three different versions of it at Aquarium Drunkard.)
It's another Super-Sized edition of the Ricochet Podcast as we're all over the map and all over the news to bring you very best in podcast punditry. First up, the great George Gilder (his new book The Scandal of Money: Why Wall Street Recovers but the Economy Never Does is a must read) stops by to talk about why conservatives have such a hard time winning the economic debate in the court of public opinion and (perhaps related), the rise of digital currencies. Then, our pal Toby Young (listen to London Calling, the podcast he hosts with James Delingpole) stop by to discuss the looming Brexit and the new book he just edited Just Say No: The Spectator On The 1975 Referendum. Should Britain head for the economic exit? Let us know in the comments below. Finally, each we week take post from Ricochet's world renown Member Feed and give it some Ricochet Podcast love. This week's featured post from DocJay (welcome back, sir) is titled What Will Happen to the Conservative Pundits when they Are Completely Unstuck and suffice to say it kindles a --shall we say-- very passionate (but civil!) conversation. So come for the economics and stay for the punditry. You'll be glad you did.
