They really nailed that video - so many intricate details, worth watching many times. I love the guy with the Darian wig! I wish I could say the song was any good...

Awful song, terrific mise-en-scene... Title: Re: History of BW in one take Post by: PS on September 20, 2012, 01:13:27 PM Topic should be re-titled ALMOST one take...
Title: Re: History of BW in one take Post by: FatherOfTheMan Sr101 on September 20, 2012, 01:14:02 PM Agreed, I dont really like the song, but the video is really cool!
Title: Re: History of BW in one take Post by: letsmakeit31 on September 20, 2012, 01:27:42 PM Yep recommend seeing this. one tiny fault is the Pet Sounds then Airplane breakdown scene should be other way round methinks but apart from that nerdy point loved it :-D
Title: Re: History of BW in one take Post by: STE on September 20, 2012, 01:56:18 PM Ahahah, did you see Darian there? :D Title: Re: History of BW in one take Post by: puni puni on September 20, 2012, 01:59:13 PM Whoever is behind the desk at 0:22 is the spitting image of late '80s Brian
Title: Re: History of BW in one take Post by: sheknowsmetoowell on September 20, 2012, 02:40:18 PM I thought the song was pretty decent.

Title: Re: History of BW in one take Post by: Myk Luhv on September 20, 2012, 04:24:49 PM I'd hate to see any of you at a concert, goshdarn

Awful song, terrific mise-en-scene... They didn't 'get' much about who Brian is, though.. I know it's only four minutes but to show him dancing about on a surfboard at the end of the video is just just... plain wrong (and it obviously wasn't meant to be ironic, either). Title: Re: History of BW in one take Post by: 18thofMay on September 20, 2012, 05:24:57 PM I reckon it is bloody fantastic!!
Title: Re: History of BW in one take Post by: Rocky Raccoon on September 21, 2012, 06:53:25 AM I think the song is pretty good. And the video is fucking awesome!
Title: Re: History of BW in one take Post by: The Heartical Don on September 21, 2012, 07:09:51 AM I find it fantastic. No need to be picky here... the whole idea, and its visual realisation, is something to cherish.
Cheers for posting the link. Title: Re: History of BW in one take Post by: Cabinessenceking on September 21, 2012, 07:10:39 AM The vid was very good...at portraying the incorrect public view that all Brian ever did was:
make surf music -> pet sounds -> fail making smile -> lie in bed 30 years -> remake smile -> surfing again and endless summer bullshit everywhere. makes me sick, it sucked. The concept and production was well done, the story line even messed up the PS - 1964 airplane incident. how the f*** can one f*** up in a beach boys story lasting 4 min? Title: Re: History of BW in one take Post by: Runaways on September 21, 2012, 07:22:34 AM Really cool vid, thanks for sharing. I thought the song started off pretty cool, but wasn't big on the chorus.

Title: Re: History of BW in one take Post by: rab2591 on September 21, 2012, 07:36:27 AM I LOVE the shoutout to 'South American' in the beginning percussion!
The song reminds me of an uptempo AIR...I really like it!

While i really liked the idea and how it is executed (but the song is not for me tho, not my cup sry broz) i can agree on that, it is a bit annoying to always get this same old incorrect story told and resume Brian Wilson to that, but oh well i guess they couldn't go through it all and just present what is well known, but i don't think he went in bed for a hundred years right when SMiLE was failing, right? wasn't there Wild Honey, Friends, Sunflower, etc.. before that?

Whilst it is my sincere and humble opinion that anyone who does this comedy song stunt bollocks on youtube should be fired into space and thus I shall not be watching this particular delight, I must state you are being rather the arsehole for mocking someone because they know too much about the life of Brian Wilson.... on this forum.

It seems 'The Beach Boys' are associated with this constant regurgitated bogus story of how Brian was a genius-turned-nuts and stayed in bed half his life. It keeps getting brought up again and again and again. Maybe you should leave the forum if you have so little affection for the sincere wishes of other Smiley Smiler for pointing out this story YET again.

Title: Re: History of BW in one take Post by: Myk Luhv on September 21, 2012, 09:47:47 AM In defence of the traditional Brian mythology, I reckon the video would be a far less charming and have less of an impact of it were more realistic -- as neat as that might be, it would seem this tragic, quintessentially American narrative is as much a part of popular culture as the group's music is. And honestly, as wrong and frustrating as that may be for short-changing Brian and The Beach Boys, I still feel there's something remarkable about that too.

And honestly, as wrong and frustrating as that may be for short-changing Brian and The Beach Boys, I still feel there's something remarkable about that too. Let's keep on pushin' the lie, folks. It's absolutely vital to YouTube videos, magazine articles, and David Leaf books and documentaries. Title: Re: History of BW in one take Post by: rab2591 on September 21, 2012, 11:10:31 AM Yeah. They should have had Brian waving a dildo around in front of his kids, bowl-fulls of cocaine strewn around his bed, and made Eugene Landy a puppeteer controlling Brian's arms.
It's just a music video, people....not a 2 hour documentary on the troubled life of Brian. Title: Re: History of BW in one take Post by: runnersdialzero on September 21, 2012, 11:20:58 AM Yeah. They should have had Brian waving a dildo around in front of his kids, bowl-fulls of cocaine strewn around his bed, and made Eugene Landy a puppeteer controlling Brian's arms. lawl, what? You're going in the opposite direction, but in total extremes. No one's asking that such trivial events in his life be highlighted. I realize this was a "just for fun" thing, was just sayin' I disagree with Dr. Voldelabra's notion that the lies that surround Brian and the Beach Boys' legacy should be preserved because it makes for a better story. Title: Re: History of BW in one take Post by: Lowbacca on September 21, 2012, 01:10:27 PM Yeah.

Not getting the point, much like the guys who produced the video. ;)It's just a music video, people....not a 2 hour documentary on the troubled life of Brian.

I went to extremes (in a sarcastic nature) because people are taking this video way too seriously. I get what you were saying to Dr. Voldelabra - My post was for the people who are incredibly flustered by the video itself: A quirky/well-made music video portraying Brian Wilson's life should not induce sickness among its viewers....just sayin'. Title: Re: History of BW in one take Post by: Myk Luhv on September 21, 2012, 01:46:53 PM I didn't mean that it should be preserved per se, I just find it unsurprising that this is the way the public views Brian Wilson. As much as I'd love to see a scene of him working with the Rovell sisters and David Sandler in the early '70s or whatever, obviously that's incredibly unlikely to happen. Given that this is "Brian Wilson 101", I think Aucoin did a good job. Though it does make me want to chat with him about The Beach Boys next time he's in town, haha.
Title: Re: History of BW in one take Post by: Aegir on September 21, 2012, 02:23:55 PM It's just a music video! god.
Title: Re: History of BW in one take Post by: Quzi on September 21, 2012, 11:41:34 PM This video is entirely inaccurate. If there was ever a time to catch Brian crowd-surfing on a surfboard, he'd be wearing that opulent, rock god robe and teaching the crowd all of the parts of Shortnin' Bread.
Title: Re: History of BW in one take Post by: EgoHanger1966 on September 22, 2012, 01:20:30 PM To say that I disliked this video means to say nothing. The song itself's O.K., there are much better & much worse songs in this genre & I don't mind 'Til I Die reference. But the video is downright awful. And it's not because of the inaccuracies. It's the matter of choosing the BBs' lookalikes which is very-very bad. Their smiles, when they hold that surfboard to be photographed, are jolly artificial. How about being more genuine? As Stanislavsky would say, "I don't believe". It's not meant to be an accurate documentary on the band. They didn't cast lookalikes. It's a music video by Rich Aucoin for his single, with a storyline depicting the 'major' events of Brian Wilson's spotlighted career. It is artificial! I'd have thought the people on this board would be raving about the details they included in this video.... Title: Re: History of BW in one take Post by: kwan_dk on September 22, 2012, 03:24:50 PM I like both the video and the song - both strike me as loving tributes. I've actually known & had the song for years so I'm curious why it's only now come with a video ? I think this is a sort of radio edit / single mix, which I personally find inferior to the version I know already.
Someone lamented the lack of striped shirts? Well, here they are in another indie-pop context: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maipAShVPaA Title: Re: History of BW in one take Post by: The Heartical Don on September 23, 2012, 04:13:03 AM I like both the video and the song - both strike me as loving tributes.

Well, here they are in another indie-pop context: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maipAShVPaA Totally agree. I find people picking on 'wrongs' in the short movie to be humour-free. And I actually think the vid being constructed out of perceived 'clichés' the funniest thing in it - it's like making a Beatles vid where actually Paul died in 1967 or thereabouts, and was replaced by a lookalike, or a twin brother, and no one noticed, except a few tin-foil hat wearing superbrains. And as for the movie itself: I nearly wet myself laughing when Darian stepped in... And I bet Brian loves it.

As Stanislavsky would say, "I don't believe". It's a bit of fun - no need to believe anything! Thank goodness people are still referencing Brian and the BBs - as Stan Laurel would say: 'What is comedy? I don't know' :-D Title: Re: History of BW in one take Post by: sockittome on September 23, 2012, 10:03:47 AM I can't believe how some people are picking this thing apart. It's just a video! The song is ok; I'm not into that post-disco 80s sounding thing, but I've heard a lot worse. I took the video itself to be somewhat of a parody, and a clever one at that.
It's like watching An American Family--don't take it too seriously, or you might as well shut it off. Title: Re: History of BW in one take Post by: runnersdialzero on September 23, 2012, 10:53:20 AM Song is cool (surprised not many people here like it), video is cool, but that guy makes weird faces. ;(
Title: Re: History of BW in one take Post by: ♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇 on September 23, 2012, 12:10:35 PM Song is cool (surprised not many people here like it), video is cool, but that guy makes weird faces. ;( So does Brian! ;) In any case, if I didn't know already, this thread confirmed it...I really do feel like I stick out like a sore thumb here at times, being that I really liked the song and thought the video was clever. Title: Re: History of BW in one take Post by: SMiLE Brian on September 24, 2012, 06:45:59 AM The truth of the BBs story is what I believe, but there is something so entrancing about the version put out in the video.
