Brian Wilson Reimagines Gershwin

Well mitchinam, you are right in one respect how one reacts to music just like visual art is truly subjective. But when you try to "reimagine" Classic songs that have become American standards and turn their poingant lyrics into Beachboys sounding drivel, you've commited a crime not a new creation. What if cartoon artist RJ Crumb re-imagined the Mona Lisa or some French impressionist paintings, would you call that "delicious"? I've been a fan of Wilson for a long time. But his voice is gone, and even auto tune, and studio wizardry can't make his version of "I loves You Porgy", listenable. You need to go back and listen to some of the great artist and singers of the past Ella, Frank,tony Bennet, etc. singing and interpreting the Gershwins. Then listen to Brian torturing these glorius melodies and lyrics. I'll take the United Airlines TV commercial, version of "Rhapsody in Blue" any day over Brian's stacked and over dubbed, familar vocal harmonies, replacing the instruments. But I think it's more an age thing, especially with the critics you mention who liked this CD. I did read one positive review of this CD in "Rolling Stone" and it sounded like the reviewer, probably a 20 or 30 something had never heard the Gershwin standards and to him even Brian Wilson represented music from the distant past. So if you hear Gershwin for the the first time from Brian and have no Sinatra or Fitzgerald, or even a contemporary such as Michael Buble, renderings to compare Mr Wilson to, the CD is going to sound good, which is the magic of the Gershwin's art whoever practices it. But you can be sure jann Wenner, who is now close to 70, and heard the good stuff for his first exposure to the Gershwins, would not agree with his employee. I did listen to it a second time as you suggested, and it was worse.

Who Made the Scene in Ocean Beach?

I rode my bike there and it was a very mellow and enjoyable scene. The main stage was not only visible but clearly audible from outside the fence or near the entrance. So I sat on the sea wall with my back to the sand and sea, and listened to a fabulous set from headliner Marcia Ball for free with several others (I felt a little guilty about not paying). But hey, it was OB. Ms Ball was terrific with her Austin/New Orleans rythm and blues rocking and her Professor Longhair piano plunking. The crowd inside and outside the fence loved it. There was also a free stage on the lawn by the ocean where the crafts fair was and I saw a terrific local group there called Bedford Grove. They were a great discovery with their upbeat smooth jazz horns and keyboard and a very attractive young female vocalist. I hope the event was successful to be back next year. It did remind me of the early days of Street Scene as the promoters were hoping.

Idol Winner

Thanks Katydid and mitsee. It's nice to know there are others that appreciate Taylor's talent. When I watched him on AI he always made me feel good and put a smile on my face. I got that same vibe watching him live at Anthology (a great music venue). I'm very limited in reviewing him for the Reader because they have a small word limit. But his is a story of an immense talent with no fit in the new music business for wide spread success. He kind of reminds me of Wayne Newton in a sense that Newton could never make it as a pop singer via the record business, but found a niche in Vegas as a live performer, and became an entertainment icon. I think Taylor would benefit from a long term gig at one of the hipper Vegas hotel/casinos such as the Hard Rock, or the Palms, with a nightly show not necessarily a headliner to start but in one of their lounges and build up a post Idol following, that would take him into the role of a headliner he deserves.

Punk Before You

Mike Evans wrote "white Punks on Dope", while working at the Record Factory, many years ago. The Record Factory was a competitor of Tower Records in the San Fran Bay area, when music was sold in record stores. the Tubes were a radical band at the time and Fee Waybill was an amazing front man to watch and hear. They were loud and their shows were sexy, featuring lots of good looking back up dancers showing lots of skin. I saw them once in a small club venue at Bimbos in San Fran, and it was a unforgettable show. Glad to hear they are still performing, but If I was there, at my age now I would have missed half their show if it ended that late.

Volume Two

I loved this CD. It's low key and very mellow easy listening. It reminds me of a contemporary version of Simon and Garfinkle, "slow down you move to fast music". Zoey Daschnal reflects in her lead singing on "She and him" the same likable, quirky, character she was in the indie hit film "(500) Days of Summer", she starred in last year. Although it's mostly original new songs, my two favorites are two covers of oldies, "Gonna Get Along without You Now" and "I can Hear Music".Ms Daschnal adds her attractive personality to these pop songs and makes them sound new. This is the kind of album you can listen to and still enjoy, as background music at a dinner party, or on headphones when you're on a walk or bike ride, or kicking back and laying in the sun. I know it's corny, but it's anti-stress, and feel good music. And it's about as far from hip hop or heavy rock as one can get, if you're weary of those sounds, as I am.

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian

The sequel, with the longest movie title of the year "Night at the Museum Battle of the Smithsonian", is a winner. They've expanded the cast with additional name brand actors, and new historical characters. The most appealing being a perky and somewhat sexy Amelia Erhart, played by Amy Adams. Hank Azaria, hams it up as the most entertaining comic villian since Nicholson as the Joker in one of those Batman movies. It's clever escapist cinema, with dazzling special effects, and never a dull moment. And if you're a dad with kids in tow your not going to mind seeing Ms. Adams in her form fitting flight pants.

Is Anybody There?

"Is Anybody There?", the title of long time acting great, Michael Caine's new independent film, Could also be his question if he could look out from the screen at the empty seats. This is a quality but gloomy movie in search of an audience. Caine's acting is impressive as a senile ex-magician, The Great Clarence, but the story is seriously depressing, especially if you are not looking forward to senior citizen status, and who is?

Star Trek

I was in line opening day for a 10am showing of the immensely entertaining and fresh,"Star Trek" prequal.I was surrounded in line by the mostly male, inhabitants of the not so distant galaxy, couch potato, but none of them were in their Trekkie costumes? This version, the best yet "Star Trek", is about the origins of all the familar characters, Kirk, Spock, Dr McCoy, Sulu, Uhura, and Chekov and how they all ended up on the initial, thrilling, adventure of the Enterprise. After seeing the film and exiting the theatre's black hole of time travel where current Spock tells future Spock to "live long and prosper", the lack of costumes made sense for this was the beginning of it all.

Star Trek

Was in line opening day for a 10am showing of the new "Star Trek" movie; a immensely entertaining and well made, prequel to all the old Star Trek movies and TV shows. When I checked out the others in line, mostly males from the not so far away galaxy of couch potatos, not one was in costume? But after seeing the film it made sense because this movie is about the origins of the characters, Kirk, Spock, Dr McCoy, Uhura,Chekov and Sulu, before the Trekies in costume existed. This will make sense to you when you come out of the back hole theatre after seeing future Spock tell current Spock to "Live long and Prosper".

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

From wearing a top hat and tails and singing and soft shoe dancing with Beyonce while hosting the Academy Awards, to playing a raging revenge seeking mutant monster, Hugh Jackman has set the bar about as high as it can go for movie star talent. You can pay $6 for about a 3 minute roller coaster ride at Belmont Park or for $5.50 you can catch a matinee of the latest and best X-Man block buster, "X Men Origins:Wolverine", which leaves you physically reeling from action and audio special effects, that repeat the first big drop on the big dipper, for an hour and 48 minutes.
