Clairaudient Music Corp

[Lola Jane]

Can anyone tell me any more about this music company.  Google brings up a load of BB songs, but I hadn't noticed the name before and I can't seem to find any info out about it.
I'm asking because I've had a weird experience in the last 24 hours and when I saw the name of this company I felt compelled to find out more.
Thanks.

Googling brought me to this page from the Songwriter's Hall of Fame.  It lists a lot of BW compositions I've never heard of.  Does anyone know if these compositions have to demo'd to be copywrited?  If so, does that mean demos of these songs are all on file somewhere?

BMI (the performing rights organization) keeps a list much like this on their website -- it was once the only place one could find the titles of some intriguing sounding songs -- such as "I'm My Shadow." Looks like "the songwriter's hall of fame" has tapped the latest BMI files.

Very interesting here is the addition of quite a few unfamiliar titles since I last perused the BMI list -- four or five years ago. The ones under "Beach Bum" publishing are most recent, so I wonder if we're seeing the fruits of Brian's post-Smile output with song titles like:

Be A Brave Guy
Don't Be Bad to Me
Feelin' Goin Round
Give Me your Love
John and Bianca
Man Under Fire

And so on. Seems like Brian's folks have decided to get a lot of stuff copyrighted lately.

Although I'm not sure about "Hey Mr. Space Cadet" ...

Or "Robotech Scheme" ...

Clairaudient is often listed with Terry's Melcher's Daywin Music co.  It is listed either before or after Daywin along with the songwriting credits which are Mike Love/Terry Melcher or vice versa.  So it's reasonable to assume that this is something to do with Mike Love?

I read that in the 70's, Landy had BW writing at least one song a day. perhaps some of these titles date from that period. Wild guess, of course.

I thought it is Mike's publishing company.  Has an Incline Village, NV address anyway.


This just in: Yes it is. Mike is the President of the corporation.

Thanks Cam.  I thought it had to be.  I guess that New Executive is a similar thing for Brian.

New Executive was used by Brian for the Imagination album and a couple of songs immediately afterward. He's since gone back to Beach Bum.
