Why did this jackass bother? This is pure Internet "lack of content" content.


Robert Ham, vying to be the millennial's answer to Robert Christgau, but too busy recycling old myths and getting basic facts wrong as he attempts to perfect the age-old "hand-wringing" style of criticism that leans heavily on the dubious perspective of Yawn Wenner some fifty years ago.

BTW, Bob Christgau's Consumer Guide grade for WILD HONEY: A+.

I agree with you, Don, that Paste Magazine review relies too much on recycled mythology. The reviewer also made factual errors, moving Brian's Bellagio, Bel Air studio to Malibu, for one example.

Also worth noting is the sometimes cranky Robert Christgau gave the *2004* "Smile" album a RAVE review! I could have easily seen him panning that one, but he gave it a five star (or A+) review!

I am absolutely in love! I had to do a LOT of searching today to find it as I was, ironically enough, at the beach all week! My local record store didn't get it (very strange for them) so I tried Best Buy...nothing. Target...nothing. Finally, Barnes and Noble had ONE copy. Success!
I had the same experience in Plattsburgh, NY. Best Buy, nope. Target, nope. Walmart- hidden in the B section. Not even in the new music section.

I want to hold this little gem when it arrives today or tomorrow.
Delayed for a week! Thud

Still, there are so many great, often ecstatic posts on the subject (most notably those by Matt B) to read while I'm waiting.

Christmas is going to be such an anti-climax this year!

I'd like to know, am I hearing elements of what would become Do It Again in A Thing or Two during the instrumental portion, or is it another song from before Wild Honey? It just sounds familiar.

Howie - you so often are my internet hero.  What a great line.  No doubt, it was an accident on Steve Marinucci's part.  Roll Eyes  Nice work on the liner notes.  I can't believe I didn't mention that before.

Howie - it is wonderful to see you getting your due and the recognition of your talents in an official capacity via this project. You have long been a source of superb music journalism and Beach Boys insights. You are the real deal! Congratulations! Hopefully you will be similarly engaged on the 1968 project. That's going to be something amazing too!

I've been waiting for a stereo version of this album for years. I'm so glad they finally did it. Song-wise I've always thought Wild Honey was great, but the muddy sound quality of previous mixes always lessened my enjoyment of it. Now it sounds less lo-fi and more BW-esque.

Thank you, Capitol!

If the album had sounded like this in 1967 things might have been different.  Brian was still at the top of his game,  just in a different way.

I do wish we had gotten a full smiley smile too though.

I'm partially unemployed - working 2 part time jobs, no unemployment left - so my music budget is beyond limited. But I am going to buy this set.

Odd that no one has answered this yet. It's definitely there in "ATOT"----at the end if I remember correctly.

Did that riff come from an earlier BB song? None that I know of. It sounds much like the kind of thing Motown used on occasion, as in The Four Tops' "Something About You":

Does anybody else think "Untitled (Redwood)" might have been an early take for Time to Get Alone?  Given that the song was intended for Redeood, it makes sense.  I hummed the verse melody over it and it certainly fits.

Hey, I've always thought that. In fact I am surprised by it being titled Untitled (Redwood) on the new release.
Here's a demonstration of how it fits that I just whipped up... https://youtu.be/KAqmMjUoodU

Back in the 90s, Marinucci had a good Beatles website, one of the only places to get Beatles news outside of Beatlefan Magazine. I contributed some Beatles writings to his site way back in the 1996-1999 timeframe when there was scant "internet" writing about the band outside of Usenet, and back when it wasn't as easy for any random fan to have their own website or blog, etc.

But at some point many years ago, he shifted over to click-bait "examiner" website sort of stuff. Even back in the 90s, what he was good at was making the repository of Beatles info rather than his actual writing. I also never got the sense he was that big on the BBs, so he would be the last guy I'd go to for a review of a BB product. Still, a bummer he put so little effort into his "review."

I just found this video of Mike singing "Aren't You Glad" at a Beach Boys concert last month and he sounds great!  Definitely takes the bad taste out of my mouth from that "Do It Again" single.

It looks like someone is updating the setlist as the show continues here:

http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/brian-wilson/2017/tivolivredenburg-grote-zaal-utrecht-netherlands-63e42a9f.html

Looks kind of garbled in terms of order, unless all of a sudden they've shifted Blondie's songs to the middle of the first set.
