HISTORIC BRIAN WILSON/BEACH BOYS/JAN & DEAN PUBLICATION LAUNCHES NEW ONLINE FEATURES
ENDLESS SUMMER QUARTERLY, INC.
ANNOUNCES NEW LANDING PAGE WITH INTERACTIVE JUKE BOX AND BLOG
Nationally printed Endless Summer Quarterly
Celebrates its 16th year on the East Coast and 22st year of publishing.
Fan favorite ESQ site look cooler than ever.
As Endless Summer Quarterly readies itself for its Summer edition – devoted entirely to The Beach Boys 1965 album Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!) – Brian Wilson/Beach Boys/Jan & Dean scholar David Beard is announcing ESQ’s new landing page at ESQuarterly.com featuring ESQ’s Interactive Jukebox currently featuring songs by Dean Torrence, David Marks, Jeffrey Foskett & Gary Griffin, Chris Farmer, Nelson Bragg, Peter Lacey, Matt Jardine and others. The ideas with the jukebox – because it will play in a continuous loop after entering the site – is to provide fans of the Beach Boys-genre music to have an enjoyable listening experience while staying abreast of the group’s activities. The jukebox music will change periodically to provide listeners with an opportunity to listen to a variety of musical styles and influences.
A second feature is the ESQ Blog. “I’m hardly a daily blogger,” says Beard, “but I feel I can bring something unique to the Internet that will serve the online fan base with information that can only be provided by ESQ.” One example Beard cites is the online contest inviting ESQ Blog visitors to create their own Beach Boys-related iTunes Imix; a contest in which Beard will judge the iTunes compilations and send rare Beach Boys and Jan & Dean-related collectibles to the winner. In addition to contests, the ESQ editor will be providing fans with the exclusive interviews that ESQ is known for. I am working with Alan Boyd, Mark Linett and Jon Stebbins to bring a deeper understanding of the entire process that went into the Beach Boys new release Summer Love Songs.
Endless Summer Quarterly was established in 1987 by editors emeritus Rick Edgil and Phil Mast in San Diego, in 1993 editor emeritus Lee Dempsey and current editor David Beard began publishing in Charlotte, NC with just over 200 subscribers in the summer of 1993. Within a few years the East Coast team had established a new following of readers with an incredible increase of over 1,000 readers. With the passing of Carl Wilson in February of 1998 and The Beach Boys pursuit of individual musical interests ESQ refocused on the individuals and their musical contributions both to the band’s history as well as their individual output. Considered to be the world’s leading Brian Wilson/Beach Boys/Jan & Dean publication by the group members, their associates and historians worldwide ESQ continues to create historically memorable editions with David Beard’s positive vision and desire to celebrate the band’s legacy.
ESQuarterly.com now includes a complete back issue order form (dating 16 years back to 1993) with a comprehensive breakdown of every edition as a downloadable PDF file. The new “user-friendly” site is only the beginning. In June and July ESQ will be making more announcements that will provide subscribers and online viewers with a better product and more enticing elements.
