A Tribute To Pet Sounds
''A Tribute to Pet Sounds'' is a tribute album compiled by the Reverberation Appreciation Society and released on May 27, 2016. Its subject is the Beach Boys' 1966 album '' Pet Sounds'', consisting of various artists' cover versions of the album's tracks. The tribute was created to celebrate Brian Wilson's 50th anniversary performance of ''Pet Sounds'' at the Levitation festival in Austin, Texas. The album was scheduled to be released exclusively as a double-vinyl LP at the festival before it was cancelled. Reception ''Stereogum''s Michelle Laggan wrote that the album "strikes a unique balance in the degree to which it strays from the original ... the tribute mostly contains subtle modifications that find a happy middle ground between innovation and mimicry. With this, the album serves its ostensible purpose" ''Popmatters'' Jasper Bruce highlighted " That's Not Me" and " Here Today" as standout tracks, "effectively juggling vocal harmony, experimentation and positive energy ...

Pet Sounds (instrumental)
"Pet Sounds" is an instrumental by American rock band the Beach Boys from their 1966 album ''Pet Sounds''. Composed by Brian Wilson, it was originally called "Run James Run", as Wilson intended it to be used as the theme of a James Bond film. It was then titled "Pet Sounds", the title of the album on which it appears. It is the second instrumental to feature on ''Pet Sounds'', the other being "Let's Go Away for Awhile". Influences The exotica piece has been compared to the work of Les Baxter and Martin Denny for its reverberated bongos and güiro combined with pervasive horns and a Latin rhythm. ''MOJO'' declared it an "ambiguous, jet-age update of Martin Denny-style 1950s exotica." In his 2016 memoir, Wilson stated: "I loved '' Thunderball'', which had come out the year before, and I loved listening to composers like Henry Mancini, who did these cool themes for shows like ''Peter Gunn'', and Les Baxter, who did all these big productions that sounded sort of like Phil Spector p ...

The Shivas
''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things already mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with pronouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers. Pronunciation In most dialects, "the" is pronounced as (with the voiced dental fricative followed by a schwa) when followed by a consonant sound, and as (homophone of pronoun ''thee'') when followed by a v ...

I'm Waiting For The Day
"I'm Waiting for the Day" is a song by the American rock band the Beach Boys from their 1966 album ''Pet Sounds''. Written primarily by Brian Wilson, the lyrics describe a man who is "waiting for the day" when the woman he loves will be ready to commit to a relationship with him. Wilson, alongside co-author Mike Love, are the only Beach Boys who appear on the recording. Musically, the arrangement is characterized for its dynamic use of textures and word painting. Wilson produced the track in March 1966 with the aid of 17 studio musicians who variously played timpani, bongos, drums, flutes, English horn, electric guitar, two basses, strings, and an altered tack piano. Background and lyrics "I'm Waiting for the Day" was copyrighted by Wilson as a solo composition in February 1964. When the song was published on ''Pet Sounds'', it was credited to Wilson and Mike Love, who revised eight words in Wilson's original lyric. Asked in 2014 about the song, Wilson said that "there really ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Holy Wave
Sacred describes something that is dedicated or set apart for the service or worship of a deity; is considered worthy of spiritual respect or devotion; or inspires awe or reverence among believers. The property is often ascribed to objects (a " sacred artifact" that is venerated and blessed), or places (" sacred ground"). French sociologist Émile Durkheim considered the dichotomy between the sacred and the profane to be the central characteristic of religion: "religion is a unified system of beliefs and practices relative to ''sacred things'', that is to say, things set apart and forbidden." Durkheim, Émile. 1915. ''The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life''. London: George Allen & Unwin. . In Durkheim's theory, the sacred represents the interests of the group, especially unity, which are embodied in sacred group symbols, or using team work to help get out of trouble. The profane, on the other hand, involve mundane individual concerns. Etymology The word ''sacred'' desce ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

You Still Believe In Me
"You Still Believe in Me" is a song by American rock band the Beach Boys from their 1966 album '' Pet Sounds''. Initially conceived as "In My Childhood", it was the first songwriting collaboration between Brian Wilson, the group's ''de facto'' leader, and songwriter Tony Asher. Wilson sang the lead vocal. The lyrics are about a man who, while acknowledging his irresponsible behavior and unfaithfulness, is impressed by the unwavering loyalty of his lover, who is left shouldering the stability of their relationship. Wilson's then-wife Marilyn surmised that this choice of subject matter was indebted to the couple's marital struggles at the time. One of the first songs produced for ''Pet Sounds'', Wilson recorded the track between October 1965 and February 1966 with the aid of his bandmates, Asher, and 13 session musicians who variously played harpsichord, clarinets, 12-string electric guitars, timpani, finger cymbals, pianos, basses, and bicycle horn. Wilson and Asher created ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Indian Jewelry
Studded Left, formerly Indian Jewelry, is an American band led by Houston-based artist Erika Thrasher and writer Tex Kerschen. The Rhapsody music service page dedicated to the band describes them thus: "Indian Jewelry are classic Lone Star State freaks." The LA Weekly said of the band: "The most mind-controlling band I ever saw was Indian Jewelry. During a set at the Echo four or five or six years ago, they found some top-secret dial on the back of their synthesizer and slowly started turning up the insanity, pounding away at the same unrelenting riff until a roomful of people was twitching and frothing at the mouth. So you could say I've got high hopes for this appearance at Part Time Punks' anniversary show. These weapons-grade Texan psychedelicists match truly primitive electronics, rhythms like Konono N°1, bleeps and wooshes from some kind of Soviet radar system, etc., to unending slo-mo distorto guitar that fills the room like boiling oil and ghost vocals from the other sid ...

Wouldn't It Be Nice
"Wouldn't It Be Nice" is a song by the American rock music, rock band the Beach Boys and the opening track from their 1966 album ''Pet Sounds''. Written by Brian Wilson, Tony Asher, and Mike Love, it is distinguished for its sophisticated Wall of Sound-style arrangement and refined vocal performances, and is regarded among the band's finest songs. With its juxtaposition of joyous-sounding music and melancholic lyrics, it is considered a formative work of power pop, and with respect to musical innovation, progressive pop. The song was inspired by Wilson's confused infatuations for his sister-in-law, who projected an "innocent aura" that he wished to capture in "Wouldn't It Be Nice". Lyrically, the song describes a young couple who feel empowered by their monogamous relationship and fantasize about the romantic freedom they would earn as adults. Like the other tracks on ''Pet Sounds'', it subverted listeners' expectations, as past Beach Boys songs had normally celebrated superficial ...
