Mikie -- Good to see you over here!  You've been missed.  I wondered if you'd ever pick up on a new board...  PM me with your phone number and I'll give you a call!

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

Yeah, the new song "The Like In Love" is OK, but it didn't knock me off my chair. Maybe after I play it about 10 more times it'll wear on me. I gave my less than stellar opinion of it to AGD a couple of weeks ago, and he hasn't talked to me since. Guess maybe he was offended. Here's a guy who disliked the "Gettin' In Over My Head" album, but raves over this Gershwin cover song. Can't figure it out.....

It's still early. Wait until the album comes out. Then another release or import of it will come out with bonus tracks. Then a version on vinyl and another CD boxed set with a signed book or with a velvet sleeve for an extra $100.00. Then the promo DJ copies with different artwork, and the promo poster and button and...........and............you know we gotta getit!

Where's Chuckie?

I'm hearing great things about this album...and this is actually an album I'm willing to wait to hear. I'm just worried that my expectations are SO high that I'll be disappointed in some way. Also, Gershwin's not really my preferred style of music. However, the fact that this is something so dear to Brian to the point where, by all accounts I've heard, he's been more committed to this project than anything he's done in *years*. So yeah, I'm expecting a hell of a lot.

As of a few days ago, Brian's Gershwin album is one of the 100 $5 MP3 albums on amazon. Just fyi.

God must’ve smiled the day Brian Wilson was born!

"ragegasm" - /rāj • ga-zəm/ : a logical mental response produced when your favorite band becomes remotely associated with the bro-country genre.

Ever want to hear some Beach Boys songs mashed up together like The Beatles' 'LOVE' album? Check out my mix!

Summertime - 9
I Loves You Porgy - 8
I Got Plenty O' Nuttin' - 10
It Ain't Necessarily So - 9
S Wonderful - 6
They Can't Take That Away from Me - 10
Love is Here to Stay - 7
I've Got a Crush on You - 9
I Got Rhythm - 7
Someone to Watch Over Me - 8
Nothing But Love - 4
Rhapsody in Blue/Reprise -  7

album avr - 7.8

What's wrong with "Nothing But Love"? I admit the lyrics are kind of weak but the music never fails to put a smile on my face.

I like the organ/sax breaks after the choruses.

This record is beautiful. Brian sounds so into it, every arrangement is spot on, and the songs are given such respect and love.

All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.
