Matt & Mike

Are you brothers?

Anyway, I listened to whichever one of you had the High Fives music and it wasn't bad at all. I prefer the Hawaii song to the other two, and the Lego one wasn't my sort of thing at all.

No Smiley Smile though....

I'm sure you do, I just meant: do you really think Brian and the group were that separated, which you kind of answered now anyway.

Interesting.

Could Smiley Smile have been achieved to the full extent we know it as in a professional studio?

Booking time, set in stone hours, etc...

a good tangent heroes...i'm pondering, maybe Brian started to believe his own hype and maybe putting the studio in was a way to cutdown all the hangers on...forgive me vandyke parks....

no calls from korthoff,parks or grillo!!!!!

No, we're friends and thanks for checking out the music.

Who came up with the song order on Smiley Smile? Did the boys do it together? Is there any reason why one song would come before another one?

Not only that, but whose idea was it to call it "Smiley Smile"? Why not a totally new name?

Because it was a distorted, deconstructed and melted SMiLE. Truth in advertising.

Barry Turnbull, a cousin of Brian's?  (Peter Reum I think answered this question as to who Barry was) named the album.  don't know the circumstances of how he named it or why, however - perhaps Peter could.

Ian kind of sussed out Brian's little jokes with album sequencing for us.

Wind Chimes - Gettin' Hungry

ITBOMM - Bull Sessions

etc

So I imagine Brian had the final word on the sequencing of Smiley Smile.

Brian was the one IN CONTROL of Smiley Smile, why wouldn't he have the final say on the album? The other band had nothing to do with the production. The session tapes are evidence of this.

He might have been in control, but he didn't want to have "Good Vibrations" on it . So he had not TOTAL control if that's really true....

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

I don't know if he allowed. But when he tries to please them with that, why shouldn't he also please them with other parts of the album?

“Smiley Smile” puts forth the idea that the album was even more fun that Smile, which surely it is not. But wouldn’t the band or one of Brian’s friends or associates stop him and say, “you know Brian, I think the Smile stuff was cooler that this.”
Maybe they were still thinking Brian knew what he was doing.

I like to think we can get an idea of Smiles lineup based on Smiley. Maybe Wonderful would have appeared late in the album.

GV was the hit single and needed to be included. The record label wouldn't have let that one slip by.

Well that brings up an interesting point. The Smiley Smile sessions were actually considered to be Smile sessions. I see Smiley Smile as the natural evolution of Smile in Brian's mind. Minimalistic and harsh.

Well, I mean you said that Brian tried to please everybody with putting "vibes" on SS. So, how do you know that he didn't do the same with other parts of that album ,e.g. the sequence? So he was probably not in control, at least not in that way....

@ Bubba Ho-Tep :
I think Brian knew exactly what he was doing with SS
