7 pm Washington time, and two things happen--Sheelah goes to the larder to plan tomorrow's feast,
and I tell google to search for Hank Briarstem. About 2,000 consecutive days without a hit. Then this. Today.
Sweet. Now if only Sh. doesn't notice that I finished the Oreos.
Perhaps you will favor me with that promised analysis of Help Me Rhonda? I can't get it out of my head.

Nothing really new, but still a good read.

Probably because they are both successful and successful people tend to live near each other.

For those of us who don't know who most of these nice people are, the BBC explains, with pictures and little bios:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/16Pkb2PwbHJxjVhJmYwQBw6/whos-in-the-impossible-orchestra
Thanks, that was very useful link. Based on that, my least favorite "lines" were:
- Emeli Sande (jus' not my kinda thing)
- Stevie Wonder (singing, harmonica is great!)
- Eliza Carthy (usually, I like her, but here she's too slow &...I dunno, dramatic?)
- Jake Bugg (annoying lala stuff)
- Paloma Faith (ditto as Emeli)
- Danielle de Niese (in my opinion, the worst part, but then I'm not a fan of opera)
The rest varies from good to excellent to outright fantastic. 3rd category is Brian! He sounded sooooo good in the finale. So good that I had to play it over & over again. That's what I call enlivening. Also, the tiger was awesome, love me some felines.
Cool Jools Holland cameo as well.

The only line I enjoyed in this video was Stevie Wonder's singing. All the other singers, including Brian, did a disfavour to the melody. The vocal bridge and the final canon are originally the most brillant parts and became inaudible.
But visually it was very good and I'm happy for the exposure Brian is getting. And these bad performances will make The Beach Boys sound even better when the new listeners hear their version

You have no idea how glad I am that I only "know" you and your ilk via the medium of this forum.
Yeah actually I'm sorry. I understand this is really the only place on the internet where something like this can get praise instead of
being met with horror and cynicism
. It's not right to piss all over that for everyone here. I'll go back to lurking.

I think it is brilliant but to me Brian's voice seems flattened by whatever was done with it. Maybe it's my laptop speakers. Is that only double tracking? I kind of wish what ever it is got out of his voice's way.
Wish the kid in the sunflowers had put a little more in it too. Get off my lawn!
It's all good.

Ah yes, the kid in the sunflowers -- came by the house every Halloween demanding a full-size Snicker's bar; the sin of entitlement, I fear. Nice young man, otherwise. I regret the part of the incident I recall.

Indeed. The food was good, but beyond that it was an unfortunate experience. I plan to detail it all in my upcoming book, "Briarstem on Briarstem," assuming Alan Boyd will agree to ghost-write it.

Brian sounds double-tracked to me too.
Great video, a lot of musical artists I really like. If only McCartney were there too!

As you know, the details of my life, while grand, are murky at best, particularly to me. The Beach Boys told the story best in "Denny's Drums," but I digress. Anyone for sushi?

I don't mind Brian's voice in the project. He's not 21 anymore. What intrigues me is that, in the
brief shot of the youth choir, a couple of the kids seem to be mouthing "Pom Pom Play Girl".

Yes, and I found that brilliant. Scotch and soda and a discussion of Shut Down Vol. 2? I've missed our chats, though I don't fault you for chafing at the prison guards.

Hugh Janus, eh? I knew a guy in High School named Hugh Jass. Also knew an Irish guy in college named Phil McCracken. He had a cousin named Pat McGroin. Pat introduced me to a Russian guy named Oliver Closeoff. And I won't get into details, but I use to know this guy named Mike Hunt. I think Don Cunningham knew him from the bar scene in D.C.....

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

Why hello, Mikie. It has been a month of Sundays! Or perhaps Tuesdays. I can't recall. Fridays? But I digress. Yes, I think the material you reference was covered in the Cunningham tome "Add Some Music to Your Day: Exploring the Capital Bar Scene with the Beach Boys." A treasure in my very own library.
