Well, this piece of news doesn't get more American than baseball, hot dogs, and indecent health care (but we promise not to go there). According to recent developments, Beach Boys frontman Brian Wilson is getting the green light to start reworking the incomplete compositions of 20th-century music legend George Gershwin. Gershwin, who was born in Brooklyn and died in 1937, was one of the America...

Last week I opened up my weekly Top 10 post to part of a Yo La Tengo contest. The person who came up with the best Top 10 list would take home a pair of tickets to see the band tomorrow evening at Roseland Ballroom. Well I got a wealth of fantastic submissions, some of which I hope to use in the future, but for now one stood out above all the rest and that was the one suggested by Timothy Erwin...

It occurred to me last night, a minute or so into “Dance Dance Dance”, that I might have been a little blasé about this latest visitation from Brian Wilson and his band. I’ve seen him do “Pet Sounds”, “Smile”, and great further swathes of his gilded back catalogue, and I haven’t seen many better gigs in the past decade. But did I really need to see him do it again?It seems so. The

Last night went up to Reno to see Brian Wilson, the legendary genius behind the Beach Boys.All things aside, those being overpriced and a cheapish venue, the show was great. I've seen him twice before in concert, and both were probably better shows all around but just seeing him makes me remember how much of an influence he's had on my music tastes. The one thing that never ceases to amaze me i...

It's another one of those MySpace Artist On Artist things, and better than the last we saw, although it's got more of a "tell me a story, grandpa" sorta vibe. The two cover important topics like the Hollywood Bowl (where Brian recently performed three nights in support of That Lucky Old Sun) and Phil Spector, and each beat in their conversation is given a very helpful subtitle in case you have ...

We've been following the developments on Brian's latest album closely because, well, he is Brian Wilson. Thanks to reader Paul we know there's a full album stream up today over at USA Today , which seems to confirm our suspicious that it would contain moments of sheer brilliance (ala "Midnight's Another Day ") and others of pure hoke (although not quite ala Smart Girls "). The latter come comp...
