From someone who would know something about The Smile Sessions...

[Jason]

The Smile Sessions is still not out. What gives?

[Runaways]

[Jason]

It's been delayed until December 28, 2012.

[Andrew G. Doe]

was it ever coming out in mid july?

Nope.

[rab2591]

It's been delayed until December 28, 2012.

Damn. . Seven days after the end of the world.

Maybe we could get another greatest hits comp in the meantime???

I'd settle for at least a limited-edition Smile tote bag - as beach season still has a good 6 weeks or so left, I need something durable yet stylish and hip to carry my booze.

Sounds like a job for earcandy.

REALLY?

Maybe I'm old fashioned but I thought Box Sets were traditionaly aimed for Christmas stockings.  Seems a month or two too late for that.

If you read the old Mayan calendar, December 28, 2012 is the date the world is allegedly supposed to end. No, it has not been delayed back that far.

 , that's really brilliant

I'm so on edge about the smile session I had a gasp when I read that

[drbeachboy]

earcandy, you really need to send this one off to BRI. That is way cool and completely do-able. 

[earcandy]

The possibilities are endless...Smile bobble-head dolls, Smile talcum powder, Smile lunch box (gotta do this one!), Smile plastic guitars, Smile hat (tribute to Mike), Smile board game by Milton Bradley...

I'll probably do the board game next, gotta come up with a name, though.  The Beatles board game was "Flip Your Wig".   Although the actual board will be easy - the whole Americana/Westward expansion thing..."Mrs. O'Leary's Cow kicked over a lamp and started a fire-move back 4 spaces!", "You landed at Plymouth Rock-move forward 2 spaces",   Saloon fight, Go directly to jail (you're under arrest!)", "Transcontinental railroad finished-forward 10 spaces", etc...

[Pinder's Gone To Kokomo And Back Again]

While we're waiting can we get an Al Jardine presents: Loop De Loop (flip flop flyin in an airplane) sessions boxset with liner notes by Jack Reilly?

I could see a "Who killed Smile?" board game along the lines of "Clue"...   There are endless who-done-it-with-what-and-where combinations...

Murry Wilson in the swimming pool with the bugging equipment
Mike Love in the sandbox with the saxophone
Van Dyke Parks in the tent with the accordion
Brian Wilson in the 24-hour telescope shop with the Reddi-Whip

Or "The Wheel of Blame" game in which when spun it always lands on Myke Luhv. No loaded dice here.

[Pinder's Gone To Kokomo And Back Again]

Isn't that the game you're already playing 24/7?

[oldsurferdude]

Yeah, airick, that's the one! And since Myke owns the rights to it, nobody makes any money.

[Pinder's Gone To Kokomo And Back Again]

I must admit I'm flattered to have earned myself a moniker in oldsurferdude-speak

Mike Love questions your lyrics, pay each player £10

Murry discovers your hash stash, go directly to jail, do not pass GO

Your columnated ruins have dominoed, go back three spaces

You have recorded The Elements, set fire to the board.

I might just base it off Monopoly, since there are so many "places" I can use, there is a railroad (Cabinessence reference), jail ("your under arrest"), you build "cabins" instead of houses, etc...the fun part will be coming up with various cards for chance and community chest...

[guitarfool2002]

Community Chest = Brian's bank account and Capitol songwriting royalties.

Have a space on the board for "Plan Tour With The Maharishi". Have another space for "Invest in Nick Grillo's Real Estate Scheme". Then have another for "Fly To Holland, Record New Album".  When you land on those, all your money disappears until you draw the Community Chest card.
