Some really cool alt-takes on the Sessions CDs that came with the recent box. Well worth tracking down, if you're so inclined.

Watched the Nilsson doc last night. IMDB lists it at 116 minutes, I saw it on PBS in a 90 minute slot, minus the pledge drive shit, so I saw a bit of it, I suppose.
I'm not huge on his music, but a very interesting character.
Reminded me a little of me. Not the talent part, the likes to get fucked up part.
So he fucked up his voice (in part) because he liked to have who-can-scream-the-loudest contests with John Lennon?

We beach the beachheads other armies cannot beach
We speak the tongues other mouths cannot speak

This is a hilarious story about when he and Moon tried to do a sober weekend.

Just found this neato clip of Brian Wilson and Al Jardine doing a bit of Nilsson:

Had drinks with a friend I haven't seen face-to-face in about fourteen months. Among the revelations was that he's getting into Nilsson. His wife is confused by this middle-aged turn.
