Can anyone give me any information about this art work. Is it Frank Holmes SMiLE era, or.... I feel like I've seen it at some point somewhere else than this single, though, I just can't pinpoint where.
So there has been a little talk about this interview on the board in the past couple of weeks. But back in 1999 hbo had a series called reverb and Wayne Coyne of the flaming lips sat down and interviewed Brian. Unfortunately the episode never aired, apparently, though a transcript of the interview was posted. http://www.stopsmilingonline.com/story_detail.php?id=224 I would really like to SEE this interview, and was hoping someone here would have a lead for me to follow up on....
Hello, I would imagine this has been discussed at some point. Though, I was just wondering what everyone here thinks about Sloop John B and it's inclusion on Pet Sounds. I know at some point I've read about certain critics saying it's inclusion on PS was a "mistake". To me PS is a showcase of everything that is good about Brian Wilson, beautiful harmonies/vocals, melodies, instrumentation, song writing and moving instrumentals. I think SJB is a vital part of that showcase because it demonstrates Brian's ability to rework an preexisting tune and make it his own unique work. So, whats the general consensus here?
