- Brian Wilson, this eveningI'm not sure what to write about seeing Brian Wilson tonight, apart from the fact that a) middle of the front row is a nice place to sit, and b) I'm hardly surprised that Smile affected him the way it did. It's a breathtakingly lunatic piece of music, from start to finish. At one point (during 'Vegetables' of course), the string section are banging carrots and celery together in time with the ongoing pandemonium, but this is the merely the most visible sign of the delirium on show. Most of the songs sound like snippets of dazzling concepts rather than fully-realized visions, as if Brian had created a series of thirty second symphonies to showcase his most brilliant ideas (and there's no denying the brilliance of this music - in some parts there's so much happening it's almost ludicrous, yet the basic melodies are never anything less than beautiful), then faltered when he realized he actually had to finish the songs to the same standard. Having so many ideas bouncing around your head would be enough to send anyone off the rails. |

- I'll be at my mom's house in the northwest burbs of Atlanta from March 11 through 14. Mostly I'll be there visiting family (and carless, unless I borrow one), but I suspect I'll want to escape at some point. Suggestions welcome, as I haven't lived there in 10 years and don't really know what to do in town anymore. Freak-friendly places in south/west Cobb would be especially nice. |

- The boards of Australia's two biggest liquor companies, Lion Nathan and Foster's Group, are close to making decisions that will shape the future of the country's $20 billion alcohol industry. The boards will choose two new barons to run businesses controlling a combined 95% of the $8.5 billion Australian beer market and more than 10% of the country's wine industry. The new leaders will have plenty to deal with, including a savage downturn in the global wine industry, a long-term decline in beer consumption, a squeeze on profits from the powerful supermarket chains, and the rise of the Australian dollar. |
