  15. In 1964, #BrianWilson decided to stop touring with the #BeachBoys after experiencing a panic attack due to the band’s heavy schedule. He focused on his production, & in 1965 started work on the landmark experimental pop album #PetSounds. Wilson was the mastermind behind the Pet Sounds sessions, working alongside famed studio musicians the #WreckingCrew. At the time of its release, Pet Sounds was considered a relative commercial flop & critical failure [can you imagine?].

  19. I occasionally post what I call a #5SecondMovieReview - essentially a quick yes/no recommendation with no spoilers. I try to highlight stuff that you may not have run into or seen ads for, at least some of the time.

    This doesn't fit that mould, because I actually want to describe the content of this one.

    "The Wrecking Crew" (2008) is a documentary about a loose-knit group of session musicians in LA that came to prominence in the 1960s. They recorded a huge slice of the hit early rock 'n' roll records that were nominally by the acts shown on the album covers. Literally everyone who has ever listened to music from this era has heard them play, almost certainly without knowing it.

    The music side of this documentary is great, even if (like me) you're not a fan of this era of rock music. I can't stand the Beach Boys and all kinds of pre-British-invasion USA pop music.

    But where this really shines is in showing the human side of the events and the business. It's touching and funny and warm.

    Highly recommended.

Here is Cooper recounting how session manager Jimmy Bowen nearly cancelled the recording of the song because the engineers couldn't properly capture the sound of the french-horn trills - until they could. youtube.com/watch?v=GGPKZjc_ijQ #JackNitzche #WreckingCrew #TheLonelySurfer
