RIP Brian Wilson

And 5 years after pet sounds mind you

This was the best song from the smile sessions

There is something maybe disturbing about how their music uses emotion. It's not an imitation of emotion but the painful attempt to approximate an emotion that it can never capture in a way that any person has ever felt. The soupy slurring near atonal harmonies a chorus of mutant mouths on a Cronenberg monsters back wailing away its humanity.

Big fan of Brian Wilson. Recently found his LP of piano versions in a bargain bin. Nice stuff. RIP Brian ❤️

I saw him at the Festival Hall. Strings, brass, the works. Hit after hit for three hours. Sooooo many hits.

It was in the audience of a Brian Wilson show at the Royal Festival Hall where David Hasselhoff was famously accosted by a heckler repeatedly shouting at him, "You are nothing without your robot car, NOTHING!"

I am pro beach boys but do find Mr suspendeds performance odd in this thread.

The world has finally disappointed me and it threatens to be permanent. Been in a bad mood since I got back.

It was at last attaining some vision of a better and spiritual world that cast me into the shadows.

What's wrong? Keep going

Hard to articulate

For the last ten years I have been trying to Dream the Big Dream. What is that. I'm not sure. The Big Fish. Paracosmic play.

Maybe ten years isn't so long. But I feel tired, and like I am less equipped to get there and attain it then I was a few years ago.

I never wanted to accept the terms the world offered. I thought they hid what mattered.

 

[sus]

I wanted so much I wanted it all.

Youve got the worst taste in music any mortal has ever had thats ok tho we love you. You have many other talents

 

[sus]

There are many things I felt would surely have come by now. Even small things. A sense of relief that a step has been made in a direction.

Perhaps many of the things I have been pushing for, for many years, are close at hand now. They seem close, right over the horizon, but that horizon keeps receding.

He likes a lot of really awful things but my secret dissensus shame is that after spending more time with suspended I actually find his music taste alright.

 

[sus]

What did I want, at the beginning? Perhaps I can get back there. Just to make something beautiful before I died, I guess. Even there, impotence. A hundred songs never finished none of them worthy. A hundred poems never finished none of them worthy. A hundred essays none of them worthy none of them read. Perhaps this is just what being in one's twenties is like. But I am no longer in my twenties. And I am tired and I am lonely and I am out of money and so little to speak for it

 

[sus]

I always wondered why there wasn't more beauty in the world. I thought, Are people stupid or something? I didn't understand the obstacles the world puts up.

it's not really 'his thing.' There are large swathes of the cosmos he will never have access to sonically but if you were trapped in a car with him and his cd collection it would be fine

Music is always the thing I held most dearly. Prized highest. Purest art. If I could've been anything in this world it would've been a composer.
