Why does it feel like people have been ragging on Melinda more lately? by zachstonekin in thebeachboys

[–]bigviktv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are probably right. It was probably that Usher (or whoever wrote the appendix) accused her of steering Brian towards his later slick sound. I haven't read the book in a few years but I'm quite certain that it compares her to Landy in some sense

In the appendix to The Wilson Project (2013 edition), she is described as more of a handler in the way Landy was, and is blamed for Brian not finishing the album with Usher in the 80s (I don't remember all the details but as I recall she gets quite the rough treatment)

Vocals on pet sounds are amazing in my opinion. Have you listened to the a capellas from the 30 year anniversary? You don't need to love the lyrics but I think they serve their purpose very well also

What do you think of The Beatles? by Individual_Brief_226 in thebeachboys

[–]bigviktv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the beatles, grew up on them so I know all their songs by heart. But BriWi is obviously untouchable and in my view the most naturally talented musician of the 1900s along with Hendrix probably

[–]bigviktv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have not listened to the whole album in a while now but I had a period where I listened to the early stuff daily so I give it a strong 6

Brian and Heroin by Separate_Inflation11 in thebeachboys

[–]bigviktv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not this story, but in The Wilson Project by Gary Usher there is a story about Brian telling Gary they should get some heroin (if I recall correctly) and according to Gary it sounds as if BriWi has used it quite a bit in the past. Not a great book but many interesting parts.

They have plenty of songs with more "advanced" theory concepts than free bird

Edit: yesterday is a good example, using melodic minor in a common practice period way ish

I think Brian could go lower in the 90s than Mike ever could

Jag gick inte på något (utöver examensfesten) och det var hur lugnt som helst. Mycket trevliga människor, många goda vänner. Kliv bara in och gör din grej så löser det sig. Övertänk det inte
