... maybe be at times argumentative, immature, dogmatic, pedantic and seemingly populated by obsessives, but at least the posts are on topic: no-one posts here for the sole purpose of taking kicks at other posters, and we know our sh*t. This is not invariably so on other boards.

We love you too Andrew!  Smiley

What happened to the firm manly handshake you spoke of recently?

Admit it, you're just a softie at heart!

Rock!

This place is awesome. Yes, it appears we are obsessive, but in reality we're just in-tune to some friggin' great music. And the people here make the music that much better....between the reviews, anecdotes about the band, to the in-depth discussions on equipment, this place has it all.

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!

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

I will say that, over the years, the combined efforts of folks like Peter Reum, Bob Hanes, Andrew, Cam Mott  and many others have really transformed my understanding of Brian and the band. I think this board has actually -- in total -- put together one of the best, most thoroughly shaded, accounts of the life and times of Brian and the BBs possible.

"It's more blessed to give than receive"

“For me, making music has always been a very spiritual thing, and I think anybody who produces records has to feel that, at least a little bit. Producing a record . . . the idea of taking a song, envisioning the overall sound in my head and then bringing the arrangement to life in the studio . . . well, that gives me satisfaction like nothing else.”

Before I joined here I thought Mike Love was an evil, Turdbagged, douchebag. Now I know he is neither evil nor turdbagged.  Evil

Same here, my early days of beach boys fandom was hating Mike Love with a passion. Now I would argue with my past self (briansbathrobe) about the subject of Mike Love.

It's a great board, it's great to be back. AGD's book got me hooked into Smile , which accompanied me through my first listening of GVBS - my reward for making it through an extraordinarily tough time - and served as a point of reference for my many years on the smile shop board, right up through to BWPS.

So...props to AGD. What a great gesture to the community, and right back atcha man.

Fookme, this place gets more like the Bloo every day, only instead of gushing over Wilson we're getting horny over each other. And whO's kicking off this love-in? Only that curmudgeonly AGD. It ain't right. What next? You'll be telling me Hell's frozen over, Mikie's taken a bath or the Beach Boys are releasing SMiLE.
