Uncanny

Whew, it's been a busy summer! Unfortunately, over the past few months I have not been able to blog here as much as I had hoped. Increased action at the day-job has meant no blogging on company time. On the home front, I've been having some computer issues. Thankfully, as of this morning, we're all back up and running at Uncanny HQ w/ a new Apple G5. The result should be a more constant flow of blogging.

Looking back over the past 9 months, it's crazy to think about all of the great Beach Boys/Brian Wilson related releases:

(1) Dennis Wilson- "Pacific Ocean Blue" re-issue
(2) Brian Wilson- "That Lucky Old Sun"
(3) Beach Boys- "US Singles Collection" box-set
(4) Stephen John Kalinich- "A World of Peace Must Come" produced by Brian Wilson
(5) Jan & Dean- "The Complete Liberty Singles" w/ help from Brain Wilson
(6) Gary Usher- "Barefoot Adventure" w/ help from Dennis Wilson
(7) "The Beach Boys and the Satan" DVD

This has got to rate as one of the most exciting string of releases since I got into the Beach Boys/Brian Wilson ca. 2000. So much great music released in such a relatively short time period; what a boon to Brianistas. Who would have thought that "A World of Peace Must Come" would get an official release? I think this bodes well for the future. Hopefully, all the good will that's been generated from these releases will help to pry the archives open a bit more. Who knows what sonic artifact will find the light of day next? I will be watching and waiting and collecting. Keep tuned!
