Revolver: April 2006
http://revolveronline.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 12, 2006. A late night drive with Van Dyke Parks. Anyway, recently a friend on a Beach Boys' message board. Asked me if I'd like a copy of the CD reissue, and a few days later, in my mailbox, was a free copy of SONG CYCLE. Strangely, given its title, SONG CYCLE is less of a "song cycle" than SMILE. Unlike Brian's magnum opus, SONG CYCLE doesn't really feature any recurring musical motifs or themes that pop up thoughout the set. Again, I'm amazed that I didn't get it when I got it. Peruse...

Revolver: June 2009
http://revolveronline.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 04, 2009. The problem with record stores (or the lack thereof). All I wanted was to get a copy of the song "Summer Rain" by Johnny Rivers. I like vinyl. bemoan the demise of vinyl. but I'm not WED to vinyl. Mainly when I want to hear a song, I just want to hear it and I don't care about format/etc. Great except. the three Johnny Rivers discs featuring the original recording of the song were at least $8.99 used on Amazon (but I didn't WANT a whole album). So can I find a used copy of the 45?

Revolver: April 2009
http://revolveronline.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 17, 2009. Lately, though, I've felt a little more settled, and getting into my music more again both as a listener and a performer/songwriter. hence, this blog. The blog format suits Revolver. Perfectly. In the Olde Days, when I got an idea for Revolver. So, here's the new Revolver. A continuation and refinement of the old, and an exploration of the new. I hope you get as much out of it as I do. Posted by Max at 8:03 PM. Slightly out of tune. The fun started this morning as I played the son...

Revolver: June 2007
http://revolveronline.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 28, 2007. The Only Thing He Missed Was The Sound Of Frothing Milk. This quote, I think, captures the essence of what it's like to scratch away as a singer-songwriter. It was originally printed in the inside of the gatefold cover of Gordon Lightfoot's album GORD'S GOLD:. Labels: The Only Thing He Missed Was The Sound Of Frothing Milk. Posted by Max at 1:32 PM. Phil and Don Were Really One Singer. How many times have you seen a pair (or more) of singers try to do this very thing with a song,...
