This BWRG review in "Jazz Times" was going so well....

[Mike's Beard]

"Brian Wilson, the ultra-celebrated, genius-mastermind behind the Beach Boys and legendary recluse, has reemerged from his bedroom, triumphantly, after a mega-long layoff of 3 years, to bring us a new album of all new reinterpretations from one of America's greatest songwriter's, George Gershwin."

Hey this is easy, can I be a pretentious, music journo butt-monkey too?

[Perhaps. Read this text first, and then guess how it came into being:

Brian Wilson has more than some things together with George Gershwin. Both led wildly successful musical partnerships with their brothers. Both combined bang song copy with the harmonious world intelligence, which is appropriate of the European classical tradition. Both flamed early then out flamed: Gershwin died at a brain tumor at age 38; Drugs and mental disorder would send Wilson in Seclusion end of the sixties-years. And, oh yeah both announce-requiring genius, two of the largest masters of the melody, is which knew popular music. In the last years shift levers of a certain age struck commercial wage dirt, by serving embarrassingly above rigid large volume versions of the popular standards. (We' RH, it, Rod Stewart regarding.)

...is the right answer. I fed the Rolling Stone review through Babelfish and made it German, and then back again to English.

PS in Holland a defendant was set free because of a procedural error in court, recently. Turned out that statements of this foreigner (Latvian, I think, or something) had been translated with Google Translator, and then used officially, because the certified translator wasn't there in time...

The review sounds like a fractured translation.   Possibly translatified by George W.

Actually it sounds pretty pompous.  Possibly Ghost Written by Barack Obama's speech writer.

OH SNAP!!

We need a thread for translating BB's lyrics using Google Translator.  I just translated "they'll eat their words with a fork and spoon" to simplified Chinese and back to English. I got "They will eat with a fork and spoon their words."

I love the "baby-full-grown-male Känguru George Gershwin" description of Brian.

Then it would be full of bad ideas and empty promise.
