These first few days on last.fm have been a bit eye-opening for me. First of all I've realized how my recent hard drive crash (and thus the deletion of all my music files) could not have come at a more unfortunate time with my discovery of this site. Secondly, most importantly, and most frighteningly it's now apparent how little I had been listening to music. The very medium I hold higher than any other and recognize as our one true universal unifier.

A few years ago I used to burn through albums like gasoline (and probably spend more money on), but the past year saw me in a comfort zone of favorites, not trying anything new or with the slightest care to. But thanks to the scrobbler's excellent recommendations and the ridiculous amount of plays on some people's profiles I've been inspired to try new artists and fill out my library. So, thanks last.fm for having such a cool site.


With the testimonial out of the way, I can get to the meat of and real reason for this journal entry. As a part of my effort to listen to new music, every week I'll choose the album(s) that really leaves an impression on me, and say a few words. These will most likely be albums new to me, but every now and then I might ramble about one of my personal favorites.




And now to get on with it...


Pacific Ocean Blue

by Dennis Wilson
Caribou, 1977

First a little background. Pet Sounds is my all-time favorite album of music. Brian Wilson is one of the few indisputable geniuses of our time and you will never convince me otherwise. Click on my profile and you'll see that my most played artist is The Beach Boys. So yeah, I'm a fan. Pacific Ocean Blue was actually one of the first things last.fm recommended to me, and I'm so glad it did.

I had heard the stories and the reasons for the album's revered status, and last year's rerelease piqued my interest. A remastered version of Dennis Wilson's one and only solo album before his untimely death, complete with recordings from the fabled Bambu sessions, sounded incredible. But for whatever reason I sat on it ... until this week.

Musically, Pacific Ocean Blue sounds very of its time and would not be out of place in any "classic rock" collection, but the unmistakable flair of the Boys is more than there. Wilson makes good use of multi-part harmonies, and constant references to his past fun in the sun days permeate, such as a brilliantly placed choral rendition of the chorus to “Pineapple Princess,” and a smart reference to the water chant from “In Blue Hawaii” off brother Brian’s legendary Smile album. It’s certainly a unique sound that ultimately could only come from such a unique perspective, that of a burned out ex-superstar.

The first thing that really strikes you is Denny's voice. The unfamiliar would never guess that this was once part of a vocal-oriented group, let alone the Beach Boys. Raspy, low, oftentimes straining, the vocals throughout sound beaten and hard-lived, which perfectly exemplifies Wilson. The years of substance abuse are ever apparent, not just in his voice but in lyrics of wild nights and listless meanderings, and the overall sound alternates between almost regretful reflection and what can only be in-the-moment, instant gratification.

What we have here is a last bout of very poignant expression from a man who lived a very hard and very fast life. Not once does any song feel out of place or is the listener placed in disbelief – this album IS Dennis Wilson, throughout his ups and downs, throughout our ups and downs. Pacific Ocean Blue marries the joy and the pain like all good art, and contains content instantly relatable and worth hearing to all who listen.

Heroes And Villains (The Americana Mix)



So I made a SMiLE mix. Based around the H&V sections of which there are many and varied, this quickly expanded to contain a wide variety of Smile - era stuff, and came to be known as The 'Americana' Mix.

First, a tracklisting (of sorts)

1. Prayer (Session) [from Dumb Angel 1/ can be found on other SMiLE boots]

2. Our Prayer (20-20 version)

3. Soul Made Beautiful (GV. Box, H&V sections)

4. Gee (GV. Box, H&V sections)

5. Heroes And Villains (Stereo single mix from Hawthorne, CA)
*Edited slightly to remove My Children Were Raised, replaced with Dum-Dum-Dum.... Then carries on as normal, to fade into...*

6. Barnyard (Demo) [Endless Harmony OST] * I know SMiLE mix protocol is to do fancy trickery to sync this to the instrumental track, but i happen to like Brian shouting at Van Dyke to make chicken noises :D*

7. The Cantina (With tiny session excerpt/no 'dance' at the end, from Heroes & Vibrations boot)

YOU'RE UNDER ARREST!

8. Upbeat, cop theme-ish Heroes & Villians doo-wop (GV. Box, H&V sections)

9. My Children Were Raised (Pilfered from stereo mix)

10. SMOG! [Off a random collection of SMiLE tracks i found]

11. At Three-score and five... (Smiley Smile cantina version)

12. Tape Explosion (as above)

13. 'tribal' H&V (GV. Box, H&V sections)

14. The Old Master Painter/ You Were My Sunshine *From some random boot. Strangely enough, i couldn't find one in my collection which mixed a clear enough vocal with the sax player getting his part right. I went for vocal)

*strings descend into Wilson's own 'oh my god, why did i record so many versions of the same thing' hell :P

15. Good Vibrations (Middle eight of rarities mix put over top of lengthened stereo section of the same bit from Hawthorne CA.) *Now this irritates me, because the vocals on the Rarities mix are epic. But the music isn't. So i thought I'd stick the Hawthorne CA. mix under it to give it 'chutzpah'. But... the rarities mix has been altered to make it go round four times, whilst the actual take is three. so i had to do some comically amateurish splicing to repeat it the extra time. but, there's something dodgy with the tape of the rarities one when the Hum-de-Hums come in, so it manages to go out, then get back in time with itself. Effin' Brilliant*

16. With Me Tonight - Fast Version (Project SMiLE!) *Sorry about the sudden drop in quality, but i really like this version....*

17. Little speech snippet from the Vegetable Arguments (which, for those haven't heard it, makes the Smog tape sound positively rational)

18. He Gives Speeches (Stereo from someone elses SMiLE mix - possibly Mok)

19. Roll Plymouth Rock (GV. Box)( Toyed about, so just the chants+Bicycle Rider)

20. AHHHH, RALPH! into...

21. Western Theme (as i think it's called) (GV. Box, H&V sections) Possibly my favourite bit of unreleased H&V. i'm serious. it's just epic. I used this over 'False barnyard' because, whilst epic in it's own sense, it's a bit too cliched wild west for me. Those harmonicas!

22. Our Prayer (reprise)

23. Session chatter from 'You're With Me Tonight', offa Hawthorne, CA. Might be Smiley sessions, cos the tape sounds like they've hotboxed the vocal booth, but it's too nice a way to end it to bother with such chronological faffery.

total: 17:19

Technical bollocks - All songs regrettably (if you care about such things) mastered from mp3s of varying quality. Most are 320kbps, so calm yourself. Done in Audacity on an old PC that didn't like it being over 12 minutes long

SMiLE theories?

None in particular - i didn't try to present any grand statement or radical interpretation of SMiLE, because i don't hold any views of such. It's just a beautiful, beautiful piece of music. The first 'mix' i heard was Wilson's own in 2004, which was the first time i heard Cabin Essence, H&V, Surfs Up, et al. I hunted down many of my first SMiLE boots from the epic http://warnakeysbeachboysblog.blogspot.com/ (he's on last.fm too, so if you download anything be sure to thank him) and got the bug.
Also be sure to check out the links section on Warnakey - other blogs host SMiLE bits that his links have expired for and other things, like the Sea of Tunes boxes on Linear Zap.

Also another thing is Project SMiLE, which you should definitely get. search your local neighbourhood torrent site for one. It's like the complete guide for SMiLE, with writings, theories, a detailed timeline, and best of all, every bit of material recorded for the sessions that has leaked. It also has every song in sections so you can make your own mixes. Be sure to hunt it down!

If you download, be sure to leave a comment/message/smoke signal of some kind telling me what you'd think, i'd like to make another one of these :)

EDIT - Stitch that, WebSheriff!
