My girlfriend's impressions of The Smile Sessions.

So, Brian's off conducting another session for Smile on my stereo. My girlfriend chimes in: "Why did they do this? Just to show what a bossypants he (Brian) was?"
"Well, no. They're showing how he came up with the songs. And these were hired studio musicians, not his band. They were doing a job and he was basically their boss."
Girlfriend: "Wait, so the Beach Boys didn't play the songs?"
"No. Brian Wilson didn't think they were good enough. He needed people that could play all kinds of instruments. The Beach Boys still did all the singing, though."
Girlfriend: "That's terrible! 'Hey guys, you're not good enough to play on any of these songs, but you can sing on it, I guess.'"
"Now that you mention it, it was a little unfair. Plus, they were off on the road playing the music live while Brian just got to stay at home all day and come up with stuff like this."
Girlfriend: "That sounds like it could get really aggravating."
"I guess you're right."
And suddenly, I transformed into Mike Love and understood all.

I just wait until my girlfriend is asleep, and then put some headphones on her and play the box set really softly. She wakes up liking them more. You should try it.

I think she appreciates it musically, but I don't think she likes it. She likes heroes and villians,and good vibrations. But at least she doesn't care that I listen almost every day..so I'll take it

You should have copied the CDs when you first opened it, Captain Bossypants.

My wife doesn't like that there are so many parts to each song. You know three "parts" to Cabinsessence, Three parts to Surf;'s up, etc... she thinks it makes them sound like several songs instead of one song... frustrating

I scared several girlfriends away with Kinks/Dave Davies albums. Haven't had the same results with BB's music.

My wife really likes Surf's Up and Wonderful.
The rest of the bits are lost on her, unfortunately.

Hey Little Tomboy is creepy. Banging women by the pool is fun and conjures up warm summer thoughts a Beach Boys song should.

My wife's favorite Beach Boys song is the cantina version of "Heroes And Villains" and she prefers it with the original intro (now used as part of "Mrs. O'Leary's Cow"). She also especially adores "Wonderful" and knows exactly why Smile is a big deal. Yep. Lucky.

My wife admits to liking Heroes and Villains and she loves Good Vibrations, and she likes all the early surf and car songs. The one BB song she thinks is too weird is Honkin Down the Highway although she says it has a good beat. And some of the stuff from Adult/Child that I played she said sounded like they were drunk or out of tune.
My Jan & Dean listening habit she can't understand, though.

The last thing I would play for someone not a serious fan of the BB's would be Adult Child or Love You.

Another girl friend or another SMiLE box?

Another SMiLE box. I have it on good authority that he plays the CDs on a old-style turntable. He's a bit.... um.... how shall I say... um...........

My old lady listens to the Box more than me, and with keener ears as she isn't as 'jaded' as me, or whatever I am after having heard this stuff for 25 years or so. She's also the first person I knew who pointed out that Marylin sings on Busy Doin Nothin. But she doesn't get my Jan & Dean thing either...

My ex couldn't see Smile beyond being a set of unfinished fragments, and she mockingly likened it to one of those annoying made for discos mega-mixes where they only play little bits of several songs. I gave up trying to explain after a while and stopped listening to it when she was home.
