The Beach Boys’ Mike Love: ‘I used to call Brian Wilson the Stalin of the studio’
- The Beach Boys turned 60 this year. “It’s kind of miraculous,” says Mike Love, 81, calling from his home in Lake Tahoe, California. “What started as a family hobby became a profession, and a vocation. Not without challenges, changes, ups and downs. We lost a couple along the way. But we’re still on the road, keeping those songs alive. And maybe the songs keep us alive, too.”

Drugs, diets and coercive control: the sad story of Brian Wilson’s conservatorship
In the summer of 1990, Brian Wilson – the troubled genius of the Beach Boys – appeared at a San Diego fan convention. Also in attendance was Peter Reum, a former therapist who already knew Wilson. Reum had already heard rumours that Wilson was heavily medicated – drugs administered by Wilson’s Svengali-like psychotherapist, Dr Eugene Landy, and a team of sinister handlers – and saw videotapes of Wilson’s poor physical state. In the flesh, Reum’s fears about Wilson were confirmed.

Monte Hellman, film director best known for the cult road movie Two-Lane Blacktop – obituary
Monte Hellman, who has died aged 91, was a writer-director working on Hollywood’s fringes who achieved semi-legendary status among cinephiles, in part due to a filmography consisting almost exclusively of cult items. The most notable of these was Two-Lane Blacktop (1971), an anti-road movie that crystallised American anomie at the moment of Vietnam. Backed by Universal to replicate Easy Rider’s success, the finished feature proved perverse indeed. Its cross-country drag race proposed that speedi

Edinburgh Fringe 2019: Until The Flood review – Painful accounts of racism injected with wry humour

The facts have been disputed but what is known is that the young black man, who was due to start college, stole some cigarillos in his neighbourhood store and, after the police were called, was shot 12 times by Dennis Wilson, a young

Album reviews: Sum 41 – Order in Decline, Mike Love – 12 Sides of Summer and The Flaming Lips – King's Mouth
Sum 41, Order in Decline★★★☆☆The second Sum 41 album since frontman Deryck Whibley neared death in 2014 after years of chronic alcohol addiction, Order in Decline marks a further departure from the hip hop-inflected pop-punk of the band’s early years. But whereas 2016’s winning 13 Voices explored themes of survival, recovery and atonement, Order in Decline is all-together angrier.A thrashing, crashing metal record with brief dalliances in solemn balladry (as on the stark, compelling “Never There

Pixies' Doolittle turns 30: Five of the album's weirdest references, explained
Doolittle — the superbly strange, surreal and shocking second album from Pixies — turns 30 on April 17. Arriving little over a year after their ground-shattering debut Surfer Rosa, it was a collection of songs from a band at their creative peak, with 15 seminal tracks swept up in a 38-minute whirlwind. The album’s production, overseen by Gil Norton, was markedly more polished than the rudimentary coarseness of Steve Albini’s studio work on Surfer Rosa, making the Pixies sound more palatable to

Hal Blaine, powerhouse drummer behind some of the Sixties and Seventies’ biggest hits
Hal Blaine was the drummer who provided the seismic backbeat and cannon-shot snare on thousands of rock songs and scores of hits – so many that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame dubbed him “the most recorded drummer in history”. In the heady era of Sixties and Seventies rock, few drummers were as busy or respected as Blaine, who has died aged 90. While few listeners knew his name (he was typically uncredited in the liner notes, even while filling in for Micky Dolenz of the Monkees or Dennis Wilso
