On fisheries, the differences between Massachusetts Congressman Ed Markey and Stephen Lynch, candidates for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by John Kerry in late January, were exposed in a dramatic vote by the House in February 2011.
A short-lived bipartisan coalition that night glued onto a continuing budget resolution an amendment from North Carolina Republican Walter Jones that barred the Obama administration from expanding its signature fishing industry innovation — the creation of new catch share fisheries and their commodity quote trading markets — beyond the mix of the Northeast groundfishery that, now three years into the new system, is in a recognized state of economic disaster.
When the roll call on the Jones amendment was completed that morning — at 1:44 a.m. — Markey of Malden, a member since 1976, the dean of the delegation, was with the White House, NOAA Administrator Jane Lubchenco and the array of investor, economic and commercial interests behind the Environmental Defense Fund that had lobbied and campaigned for catch shares throughout the second Bush presidency until they succeeded under Barack Obama in 2009.
But on this night, through the efforts of Congressmen Barney Frank and John Tierney as co-sponsors of the Jones amendment — and with only Markey and a retired representative from state's western-most district holding out against the rest of the 10 member delegation — the anti-catch share insurgency carried the House 259-159. Frank, Tierney, Lynch and five other members of the delegation were among 51 Democrats that made up the rare, winning bipartisan coalition.

Sound and Fury on the Bosphorus
As chaos swirls around Turkey's embattled prime minister, can the opposition take advantage?
ISTANBUL, Turkey — In one of Istanbul's cosmopolitan districts on the winding Bosphorus Strait, two female campaigners stood armed to the teeth with campaign gear -- pamphlets, pins, balloons, and a trailer booming patriotic beats. "Here's the plan," said a soft-spoken Gulsun Karsli. "We'll go house to house and remind people why the Justice and Development Party (AKP) is the best."
"But first," she paused and smirked, "We'll take a selfie."
Turkey is currently in the hectic throes of election season. On March 30, voters will go to the polls to elect the mayors of Istanbul, Ankara, and local municipalities across the country. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's party appears poised to come out ahead, with polls projecting that the AKP holds roughly a 10-point lead over its main rival, the Republican People's Party (CHP).
Tensions, however, are high. In an increasingly polarized political landscape, the vote is essentially a referendum on not only Erdogan's increasingly white-knuckled grip on the country, but on the very identity of modern Turkey.
But even in Kadikoy, a district that AKP historically loses, the team of AKP campaigners -- a brigade of sharp-tongued, smart-phone wielding women -- isn't worried.
"Look, Erdogan's transformed this country and turned it around completely from when I grew up," says Seyda Ertem, a businesswoman who studied at Barry University in Miami. She says her long, blonde hair and penchant for trendy clothes come as a surprise to many, who don't expect an unveiled, stylish woman working for the Islamist AKP. She says that she has been asked derisively how much money she's being paid to support the party.
"It's all just noise," she says, rolling her eyes. "There is no solid opposition, just noise."
Indeed, there's been quite a bit of noise in Turkey this year. Last summer, Erdogan's government fired tear gas and water cannons at demonstrators protesting against his plans to demolish Gezi Park, a beloved green space in Istanbul, to make way for yet another mega-mall. The protest wasn't merely about trees, but a larger fight over the identity of the country and who ultimately decides upon that identity. The park became yet another battleground in the country's perennial struggle between Erdogan's self-proclaimed pious constituency and a secular elite rooted in the military.
Since then, major rifts have emerged between the AKP and its erstwhile ally, an Islamic movement led by Fethullah Gulen, a reclusive cleric based in Pennsylvania. The tug-of-war has culminated in a stream of leaked audio recordings, which reveal an extensive and sticky web of state corruption. In one purported leak, Erdogan tells his son to dispose of large sums of money. In the most recent leak, high-level security Turkish officials discussed potential military operations in Syria.
But even more revealing than the leaks has been Erdogan's reaction -- more indicative of a recalcitrant child than a world leader. After allegations of corruption surfaced, he reportedly replaced police commanders involved in the probe and high-profile prosecutors. In February, he pushed parliament to pass a law that allows the government to blocks websites without a court order.
Erdogan wasn't bluffing about his intent to control the flow of information in Turkey. His government blocked Twitter last week, citing the leaks as a reason, then blocked YouTube -- where new leaks had been posted -- on March 27.
As Turkey's diverse political battles look set to converge on election day, a few key issues will define the country's future in the days and year ahead. One of them is the cultural and political divergence of Turkey's urban metropolises and its Anatolian heartland.
During the height of Gezi Park protests, my colleague Elmira Bayrasli and I hopped on a plane and traveled to Kayseri, an industrial city almost 400 miles away from Istanbul, which has witnessed extraordinary economic growth in the past decade. From this vantage point, regime change looked unlikely: Only a handful of activists sat in a park protesting, while most shook their heads and laughed as they walked by.
It's not just Kayseri that has experienced an economic boom under Erdogan -- the whole country has prospered. Before the current political crisis, the economy saw an average annual growth of 5-7 percent. Those reforms translated to vast social mobility: Turkey's middle class mushroomed to 59 percent of the total population -- up from 25 percent in 1995. So too did the AKP's electoral power: in the 2002 elections, the party secured 34 percent of the vote in parliamentary elections. Five years later, its support had increased to 47 percent, and in 2011 the AKP secured nearly 50 percent of the Turkish vote.
Such sweeping improvements made Erdogan a darling on the international circuit, with the West heralding him as a model for Muslim-majority neighbors in the region. "The Turkish model" was the all the rage not just in the West, but across the Middle East: While on a reporting trip to Gaza in fall 2011, I saw stores named "Erdogan" selling shirts and mugs emblazoned with his smile.
Back at home, Erdogan has remained engaged with the large rural underclass that catapulted him to power -- an underclass that saw itself as historically suppressed under previous governments. Until the AKP's rule, the staunchly secular military was the arbiter of Turkish political life, enforcing the goal of forced Westernization and secularization held by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of modern Turkey.
Ataturk's vision, for instance, included a ban on women wearing the Islamic headscarf in public spaces like universities. When at a gathering of AKP members, I'm usually offered a chain of stories on how they, their wives, sisters, and mothers were forced to study abroad or quit their jobs because of the ban. Erdogan's wife, Emine, was reportedly prohibited from entering a military hospital in 2007 when she refused to remove her headscarf.
"[Critics] say Erdogan is back-tracking on women's rights, on liberties, because he's an Islamist," says Zeynep Yilmaz, a 61-year-old teacher. "So I ask: 'Ataturk was a champion when I wasn't allowed to show my face at a university?'"
Kemalism, as Ataturk's ideology is known, marginalized the country's conservative and religiously observant underclass, who regarded themselves as "Black Turks" -- suppressed by the "white" secular elite. Until Erdogan's rise, this elite, with its close connections to the military, exercised almost complete control of the country.
"In this country, there is segregation of Black Turks and White Turks," Erdogan has said. "Your brother Tayyip belongs to the Black Turks."
This populist outreach, however, only goes so far. Erdogan's recent moves to stifle dissent have led to some criticism -- even among some of his supporters -- that he is creating a political order as imperious as the one he supplanted.
"Power is a dangerous thing ... a very dangerous thing," Fatma Bostan Unsal, a co-founder of the AKP, recently told me. She had been soft and guarded with her critique of Erdogan, but voiced muted worries that the party has increasingly revolved around him alone. "Power needs to listen to the people," she said. "It corrupts ... you have to be careful."
While Turkey experienced a decade of gleaming economic growth, its amazing run might be coming to an end -- and that could spell trouble for the AKP's political dominance. Turkey's economy has stalled for the past year: consumer confidence has declined and, in December, the International Monetary Fund warned that the country -- with a significant current account deficit -- could face a sudden slowdown.
So far, however, Erdogan's populist appeal has compensated for any economic challenges. On a recent trip to Fatih, a conservative district of Istanbul, residents complained to me about rising costs, and voiced fears over a lack of job opportunities. When I asked them, many whom had voted for the AKP, if their political allegiances have consequently shifted, they stared at me in near confusion.
"The AKP know who we are," said Ozgul Celik, a 57-year-old construction worker. "And we know them. We are them."
While the average AKP voter may be relatively clear about what they believe and what they want, the opposition's identity is harder to define. As we've seen across the Middle East for the past few years, while mass protests may grip television coverage and convulse Twitter feeds, they often fail to spark the creation of dominant political movements. During the days of the Gezi Park protests, instead of trying to harness the moment of discontent that had captured the world's attention, many activists seemed loathe to reach outside their comfort zone. Many were resigned that those not protesting couldn't be convinced to abandon Erdogan, as though they were too far-gone -- naïve, brainwashed, religious fanatics.
That attitude has sometimes bred a kind of fatalism among Erdogan's opponents. When I asked Mehmet Pekbas, the press officer of the Kayseri chapter of the Republican People's Party, the AKP's greatest rival, how he was planning to reach out beyond his known constituency, he shrugged. "The AKP uses religion to reach people," he said. "We are at a disadvantage from the start."
The only thing that seems to unite the diverse elements of the opposition, then, is the fact that they are not AKP. In that sense, Erdogan is actually the opposition's best ally: In instigating and antagonizing them, he's giving them a rallying point. And yet, across Turkey, many still looked upon the upheaval in Gezi Park in confusion, asking what "they" stood for and what "they" wanted.
At a massive AKP rally in Istanbul last summer, attended by hundreds of thousands, the party played on those divides like a well-versed instrumentalist. AKP leaders called Gezi protesters "White Turks" who didn't want democracy, but rather the sole power to define the culture of modern Turkey. It's the same charge their opponents volley right back at them.
The unproductive, condescending back and forth has proved nothing, save Turkey's deep inability to internalize democracy. But until Erdogan's opponents harness the discontent beyond an echo chamber of dissent and sporadic cat-and-mouse protests, the AKP won't be leaving the halls of power anytime soon.
Back on the Bosphorus in Uskudar, an AKP stronghold, a middle-aged woman shook her hips to the tune of the party's official campaign song blaring from a campaign van: "He is the people's man/ A confidant of the oppressed/ He is a nightmare to the cruel/ Recep Tayyip Erdogan!"
"This is a strong Turkey because of him and the AKP," she said, waving a bouquet of red carnations the party was distributing to passersby. "Who else has accomplished what they've accomplished?"
Behind her, a teenage boy glared at her with his eyebrows raised in both amusement and thinly veiled disgust. He stuck out his tongue and chucked two red carnations into a trash-bin.

Michael Brown's Parents Speak Out: Officer Wilson "Wanted to Kill Someone"
26 November 2014 8:36 AM, PST
The parents of Michael Brown, the Missouri teen who was fatally shot by Officer Darren Wilson in August, are speaking out, days after a grand jury decided not to pursue charges against Wilson. They believe Wilson "woke up with a chip on his shoulder" and killed Brown in cold blood.
Speaking on CBS This Morning Wednesday, Michael Brown Sr. and Lesley McSpadden told co-hosts Charlie Rose and Gayle King that they dispute Wilson's account of the incident.

Officer Darren Wilson Calls Ferguson Protests "Heartbreaking" – Watch His Full Interview
26 November 2014 7:09 AM, PST
As groups around the country continue to protest a grand jury's decision not to indict Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Michael Brown, Wilson maintains that it was "survival instinct" that caused him to fire at Brown.
In a somber interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos, Wilson also said it pains him to see the violence and destruction that has ensued in Ferguson after the grand jury's decision was made public. "It's just sad," he tells ABC. "That community is really a great community. It's heartbreaking to see it be torn down and burned and looted. No one wants to watch that or have to see that."

Chunkers Gone Wild With Punkin Chunkin: Superchunk Special
26 November 2014 6:41 AM, PST
Each year, hundreds of pumpkins lose their lives in the Punkin Chunkin World Championship in Dover, Delaware. But their sacrifice is not in vain: Science Channel films the annual event and airs the highlights a couple days after Thanksgiving. The official event was canceled this year (there was a kerfuffle over permits at the regular location), but the Chunk must go on, and so former Mythbusters Kari Byron and Tory Belleci got together with a group of Chunkers in New Hampshire for a weekend of experimental gourd-hurling. The resulting Punkin Chunkin: Superchunk! special will air Saturday, Nov. 29 at 8/7c on both Science Channel and Discovery.

He Plays: Jay Kulina, the drug-addled, deeply sensitive Mma fighter battling his distant, hard-assed gym-owner father (Frank Grillo) and his own demons on DirecTV's Kingdom.

"He ultimately ends up realizing who he is and what he's done. [But] he needs to ask for help from his dad, and that is the hardest thing for him to do."

Who Won Dancing with the Stars?
25 November 2014 8:12 PM, PST
Well, we've arrived at the end of another long, hard season of Dancing with the Stars. I don't know about you guys, but I totally empathize with the physical pain the contestants are in at this point. I've gotten multiple leg cramps from sitting on my couch watching these performances week after week.
Per usual, the two-hour final episode — preceded by an hourlong look back at the season — is an exercise in fluff and short-term nostalgia.

Tim and Te Jay were definitely not in pole position on The Amazing Race. Instead, the college sweethearts were felled by a greased pole, when they attempted the Maltese game gostra to no avail and switched Detours a little too late.

Former The Cosby Show star Lisa Bonet says social media posts bout Bill Cosby reportedly made by her were from a fake account.
Over the weekend, a fake Twitter account "addressed" the rape allegations against Bonet's former TV dad. Now, Bonet's manager tells People, "Lisa Bonet has no social media of any kind. Any posts made in her name were made by impersonators with unverified accounts. She also has no comment on the ongoing story."

How Schmidt Happens to Be The Most Popular Name on TV
24 November 2014 6:47 AM, PST
Holy "Schmidt"! That last name has become a go-to for TV and film writers looking to give their characters a memorable moniker.
Netflix made headlines last week when it picked up two seasons of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, the sitcom starring Ellie Kemper as a former cult member navigating the big city. NBC was originally set to launch the new comedy, from 30 Rock exec producers Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, but the Netflix deal was too good to pass up (and saved NBC the expense of trying to launch the new show in this sitcom-challenged era).

Ask Matt: Elementary, Selfie's Fallen Star, Murder, Sleepy Hollow, Sons of Anarchy, and More
24 November 2014 6:42 AM, PST
Send questions and comments to firstname.lastname@example.com and follow me on Twitter!
Question: I've been a fan of Elementary, and I really liked the story arc last season with Rhys Ifans playing Mycroft. His involvement with Watson, moving to New York, opening the restaurant, concealing from everyone that he was MI6: The whole season seemed to give a fresh twist to the Sherlock history and move it forward. This season, however, with Kitty (Ophelia Lovibond), I'm not getting what the writers are doing. I think she's beyond boring, probably because she has no real reason to be there, and she's splintering the energy I used to feel between Sherlock and Watson, and each of them to Bell and Gregson. None of the episodes this year has grabbed me. Is it just me? Do they have a story arc buried in there someplace I can't see? I'd rather they »

Philip Larkin, the Marvell Press and Me
First published in 1989 Philip Larkin, the Marvell Press, and Me is the story of how this small publishing company became a chapter in literary history when, in 1955, the then novice publishers, of which Jean Hartley was one, were entrusted with the manuscript of Larkin's The Less Deceived.
The Less Deceived, Larkin's second collection, contained the mature Philip Larkin style - that of a detached observer of what Jean Hartley referred to as 'ordinary people doing ordinary things' - the virtues of which came to be associated with The Movement, the post-war generation of poets that used plain language and traditional forms to address everyday life in Britain. The themes of The Less Deceived resonated with readers and it became one of the most outstanding collections of 1955. Philip Larkin, the Marvell Press, and Me charts that progress and introduces the reader to the real Philip Larkin.
'Jean Hartley's story is a vital piece of evidence for anyone curious about Larkin's life.' Andrew Motion, Observer.

Thanks to the free preview of NBA TV on digital cable, I was able to watch Adam Morrison's first NBA action.
Morrison checked in with a little less than 6 minutes left in the first quarter against Indiana. On his first possession as a pro, made a little duck-under move, rose up and nailed a leaner for his first two points. There were 5:35 left in the quarter.
On the Bobcats' next possession, he was left open at the top of the arc, but missed the 3-pointer.
But all in all, not a bad start.

Today, there are over 50 million Hispanics in America. That translates to one in six Americans—an increase of 43% since 2000. And this growing population has a similarly large purchasing power making for a large, diverse shopping culture.
Comprised of both older, traditional shoppers who opt for local/regional Hispanic grocers and younger, bicultural shoppers who embrace larger American chains; the Hispanic shopping culture has its nuances.
We wonder; as this community continues to grow and evolve will their shopping habits evolve as well? For instance, will they continue to shop at Hispanic grocers or transition completely to price-driven national retailers like Walmart?
Knowing that Walmart currently draws a large Hispanic shopper base, Shopper Culture wanted to investigate how today's Hispanic grocers are competing in a price driven, Walmart world.
An interview with Juvenal Chavez, founder and chairman of the board for Mi Pueblo Food Center, shed some light on today's Hispanic shopper and what it is like for regional Hispanic grocers to compete with larger price-driven chains.

Anybody out there still think the Detroit police chief was wrong to urge citizens to arm themselves?
Anybody out there still think the Detroit police chief was wrong to urge citizens to arm themselves?
Hooray for Hoosier Dr, Kent Brantly and his recovery from ebola. One reason given for returning him and his fellow medical missionary to the U.S. was that they'd get far better treatment here and would thus have a better chance of survival. Well, guess what:
Here's another entry for your "The science is settled" scrapbook:
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) -- The Old Farmer's Almanac, the familiar, 223-year-old chronicler of climate, folksy advice and fun facts, is predicting a colder winter and warmer summer for much of the nation.
So, Eric Holder goes to Ferguson and tells stories about all the times he was racially profiled and then :
The attorney general said Wednesday that he understands why many black Americans do not trust police and that he has experienced many of the same frustrations.
Well, if the kids in school need a break from the control freaks implementing zero-tolerance policies, they can at least escape for a few minutes a day at recess: Oh, wait . . .
Recess is a time for kids to run free -- unless they attend Fayette Central Elementary school in Connersville, Indiana.
Another school year, another round of zero-tolerance craziness. First up, Summerville, S.C.
I'm not going to watch the video of American journalist James Foley being beheaded. At one time in my life, I probably would have, giving some justification about "needing to see what evil looks like," but in reality just indulging in the ghoulish voyeurism of the young. Today, I don't need to be reminded of what evil looks like; we've experienced too much of it to not recognize it.
Isn't the first sentence of this Associated Press story just precious?
INDIANAPOLIS - Loretta Rush was formally sworn in Monday as Indiana's first female chief justice, but her gender hardly was mentioned during the ceremony.
Mitch Daniels, just starting his second year as Purdue president, is winning praise from several quarters for his innovations there:
. . . many thought it was an odd match to have the famously conservative (especially fiscally) governor at the helm of a university. The move sparked a few protests from former students and wariness from faculty, many of whom were colorful with their predictions of doom.
Did the Supreme Court already settle the gay marriage issue, way back in 1972?
A whole lot of judges who are being asked to decide whether states may ban same-sex couples from marrying think the Supreme Court clearly gave them the answer last year: no.
Here's the thing: Stories like this happen all the time.
British Columbia tightened its driving-while-impaired law in 2010 to make a BAC as low as .05 an offense, and they say the results have been significant:
Guess we should at least give this pro-choice advocte a salute for her stunning honesty and unwavering commitment: Stop calling aboriton "a difficult decision"
Mayor Tom Henry has had plenty of good ideas. But he had one very bad idea when he flirted with trying to get a casino here as an economic development tool. Casinos do not develop the local economy. In fact, building one is about the fastest way to wreck a local economy:
The U.K.'s Indpendent is, I believe, supposed to be a serious newspaper, not a supermarket tabloid. And yet . . . Here is the headline:
Silly question of the day: Is Hillary Clinton too hawkish for the left?

At SYS-CON Media, we don't do "predictions" but rather "projections." I am browsing through my November 9, 2009 dated blog entry.
Here is what I wrote then:
"We see our inventories are filling up to 100% capacity for the months of November, December, and January, and we are seeing better-than-normal RFP activity for the first quarter of 2010.
When I say this, I am comparing the current insertion order activity to the same period last year. We will be closing 2009 roughly 32% below 2008 in revenues (far better than any other tech media company), which forced us to reduce our expenses for the same period by around 40%. Last fall, while the world was falling apart, we were preparing for a 40%-45% drop in advertising revenues for 2009. We did better than our worst projections."
That was our 2010 projection two months ago. Today, as of January 28, 2010, we booked more revenue for 2010 than the entire fiscal year 2009 actuals, including unearned income with record sponsorship sales for the Cloud Expo East, Cloud Expo West and Cloud Expo Europe events.
Our revised revenue projections for 2010 are on track for an all-time record high since our company's inception in 1994, including media sales which were up in January from a year ago.
As I made a reference to sponsorship and expo sales, I encourage all of our sponsors to take the contract option 2 which includes the Cloud Expo 2010 East (New York City), Cloud Expo 2010 Europe (Prague, Czech Republic), and Cloud Expo 2010 West (Silicon Valley, California) events.
On Monday, February, 1, 2010, we will announce the venues for Cloud Expo 2010 Europe (June 21 -22, 2010, Prague, Czech Republic) and Cloud Expo 2010 West (November 1-3, 2010, Silicon Valley).
The Cloud Expo West event in Silicon Valley increased this year from 20,000 sq. ft. in 2009 to 80,000 sq. ft. expo floor space in 2010. Projected delegate count for Cloud Expo West increases from 2,200 in 2009 to over 6,000.
More important, the expo floor with the addition of large booths (20 x 20 and bigger) will be sold out before the conference date.
We will announce Cloud Computing Expo Europe sponsors in February for the 2nd International Cloud Computing Expo Europe event, with delegate participation projected to be triple that of 2009.
Last not but not least, we are excited to share with you that Cloud Computing Expo Tokyo and Cloud Computing Expo Hong Kong dates will be made public on the first day of the Cloud Expo Europe event in Prague!

Las Vegas, BabyNovember 15th, 2014
Brian Wilson and friends will be hitting Las Vegas on December 12 for a show, and for filming a televised special. This will also see some of the songs from the new album being showcased, with no less than three other Beach Boys amongst the guests, including Blondie and Ricky, although no David Marks. With another show announced for Tulsa on December 4, it looks like Brian is gearing for some late year activity in preparation for a big 2015.
50 Christmases Ago, A Seasonal Classic Was ReleasedNovember 9th, 2014
There doesn't seem to be an officially agreed release date for the Beach Boys' Christmas Album. I've seen October and November 1964, with no specific date. The only date that does seem to be fixed is the release of the concurrent seasonal single The Man With All The Toys on November 9 1964. So today seems as good day as any to celebrate the 50th anniversary of a record that may not have seemed a big step forward for Brian and the Beach Boys musically, but remains a classic of its genre.
With two classic Christmas singles (Little Saint Nick was released a year earlier) , Brian Wilson contributed musically to the Christmas scene. The standards have a somewhat melancholic air, but showcase the vocal talents of the group with Blue Christmas being one of Brian's best singing performances.
This album certainly wasn't the end of the Beach Boys contributions to the season, but it is their most cohesive Christmas statement, and a lovely reminder of an age which may not have been as innocent as it seems, but certainly receding in time as many fond memories.
Some Pressure Released, Some Pressure To Look Forward ToNovember 7th, 2014
We've made some Pier Pressure progress in the last few days -there is a cover designed by daughter Daria and a release season, which is Spring 2015. The speculation that the release date has been adjusted to tie-in to the upcoming biopic will no doubt continue as we await more details on the movie.
2015 looks like a big year for Brian Wilson, but we have new Brian Wilson music today. Our Special Love is a collaboration with acapella specialist Peter Hollens, and provides a nice dose of classic Wilson harmonies and romantic sentiment that may tease a bit, but can also be seen as an early Christmas present. The big gifts may be in the new year, but we can be very grateful for this sweet one in 2014.
No Pier Pressure To ReleaseOctober 31st, 2014
Brian's new album seems to have the rather interesting title of No Pier Pressure; there is a Wikipedia entry, and pre-orders on music sites with that title. But what we don't have is a cover, full tracklist and confirmed release date. Many music sites listed the release as 4 November, but unless Brian is going to do a U2/Beyonce on us, this date in less than a week doesn't seem plausible. What may be more plausible is that the release is being held back to tie in with the Brian Wilson biopic, Love And Mercy.
Of course, just to add to the confusion/anticipation -it seems possible that Brian has been recording specifically for the movie as well. So while nothing is confirmed, the prospect of new Brian Wilson music , and some good publicity, seems tantalisingly close. Maybe Christmas will come late this year?
Brian's Hidden Beauties CXX: Anna Lee, The HealerOctober 18th, 2014
In these times, we can all do with a bit of healing and therapy -no wonder the spa industry is growing so fast, but even back in 1968 things were certainly getting a little bit crazy. The Friends album was a haven of peace and simple joys, and typical was this ode to a healer.
Anna Lee, The Healer is a simple production with mostly just a piano and bass line, but with it's wonderful harmonies and simple message, it's another winning but understated track from Brian and the Beach Boys.
A Pet Sound Goes GlobalOctober 9th, 2014
By now, everyone on Planet Brian, and indeed a good portion of Planet Earth will have heard, seen and thought about the BBC version of God Only Knows. Brian Wilson has had many triumphs in the last 15 years, and while this may be nowhere close to the most artistically satisfying, it will surely give Brian Wilson the widest exposure he has ever had since the heady days of the mid 60s, at least in the UK.
As the only artist featured twice, and the one given the last word, the man behind the melody of the one of the greatest songs ever written is certainly given pride of place on the record and video. There is evidence of more subtle homage being paid to Brian Wilson in parts of the record. He shares the spotlight with a wide range of genres, and while you may not love everyone of the record, you can't argue with the pulling-power of a One Direction.
One can be cynical and talk about the BBC punting their music channel and and their own star power. But the world will see Brian, and will hear a Pet Sounds classic. Some will surely want to dig deeper into the beautiful, healing music of Brian and the Boys. For Brian and the hurting world, that can only be one direction, the right direction upwards.
Brian For GeorgeSeptember 30th, 2014
If you haven't seen it, head it here to see my favorite Beach Boys play tribute to my favorite Beatle in what appears to have been a very succesful tribute to George Harrison.
The Perverse Possibilities Of The BarbicanSeptember 25th, 2014
When I was in London, I suddenly realised, via Twitter, that Saint Etienne were playing a show on the Saturday night of my visit. One frantic IPad booking later, one of my concert dreams was coming true…I was going to see Saint Etienne in the city that is their inspiration for much of their music and films.
And it was their music and films that were celebrated, as the much of the concert showcased their new film, How We Used To Live, with the band playing the soundtrack live in the second half of the show. Most of the music was lovely new instrumental textures, written by Pete Wiggs, but it also included the lovely Sarah Cracknell song Ready Or Not, the only part of the soundtrack that isn't new music. The film showed London in the post-World War 2 era (up until around 1980) with a lot of nostalgic images including some trains for this railway lover.
The first half of the concert included a mixture of old Saint Etienne favorites, new vocal songs, and obscure songs by London bands. The setlist for this part was
Milk Bottle Symphony
Gently (Spandau Ballet song)
Carrie-Anne (new song, not Hollies!)
Slightly Drunk (Squeeze song)
You Never Know (new song)
Sorry (new song)
Mario's Cafe
Burning The Boats (Madness song)
Overall, a lot of new material and less familiar favorites were played. But this is a band who are extremely prolific (each of their albums has come with at least another album's worth of good material), and it creates a lot of anticipation for material to come. It was a special show, and a special opportunity, and I'm very glad to have been part of it.
A Brief Dispatch From The IslesSeptember 18th, 2014
I'm on holiday in England during the Scottish independence referendum so just some brief dispatches before I return to more active blogging. The biggest Brian Wilson news remains the positive reaction to the Love And Mercy biopic , and the likelihood of a general release. Brian will also be appearing on the 28th at the "George Fest", an all star tribute to George Harrison.
In my own personal music news, I saw Saint Etienne live at the Barbican in London, promoting their new film How We Used To Live. More detail in my next post.
