That's one of my favorite modern day vocals by Brian

Actually, ricin is an extract of the castor bean. Very bad stuff.

I think about 2008. Definitely post-TLOS. I interviewed Scotty in January 2009 and the title was in common usage then (he wasn't thrilled about it).

The name is classic Brian, hope it doesn't change.

Pleasure Island, indeed.

I knew that... actually my current username is a play on 'rice and beans' as well. I enjoy puns.

Good one Billy!

If this new album ends up actually being a reworking of some older material, I'm hoping it'll be "Adult/Child" rather than "Love You"

Though, I guess I can kind of understand Brian's handlers wanting to steer him away from an album that would involve him recording Shortenin' Bread.

In fairness, I thought that remake of "Honkin' Down the Highway" was pretty good.

I'm not surprised. It sounds like the title of a porn movie and, with that in mind, maybe they should record Heavenly Bodies for it as it would be a perfect fit.

Scotty said pretty much exactly that. 

[Nicko1234]

Scotty said pretty much exactly that.  

Maybe Brian could also include Rollin' Up to Heaven...

That's a pun instead of a gran slam.

Your just boring...and old!

Well, it doesn't matter if he's old, that's a reproach that is out of place. I agree his recent posts border on trolling, his attitude is a bit chyldish ;), but as the other poster suggested, you can just ignore his posts.

[Andrew G. Doe]

Ah, the old "well just ignore his posts"... actually, in an earlier incarnation of this forum, we did have an 'ignore' function, and a splendid thing it was: can we have it back, please ?  However, such is the structure of this board that ignoring is next to impossible, unless one has superhuman reactions and can see through your eyelids. Plus, I tend to extend everyone here the basic courtesy of reading all the posts in the threads that take my fancy, as there may be something germane therein. I know in the case of the infantile mis-speller this is increasingly unlikely, but you never know. Further, if I'm having a bad day, I like to read his moronic drool, as it makes me realise that at least I have a functioning brain and possess a sense of humor. Phil Cohen has much the same effect, only with better grammar.

[Micha]

"ignore" like in "don't feed the troll"...

I get the feeling OSD is just play acting, much as I think you are Andrew with this whole condescending thing you have going on. And its swings and roundabouts, as I find many of your posts as lot more offensive than his!

However.......

I have a sneaking suspicion you're both actually very nice people in the real world.

Nope, I really am that condescending. 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I just don't get it why you keep just trying to autodisappoint yourself by saying it will be a remake of such or such older material, is that a way of thinking to then get excited about something new? cause it has been said, clearly said, it's new song, it doesn't get more clear than that.

The problem lies in text, and no amount of emoticons can help this. If I met you in real life and you were jokingly condescending to me, I'd be able to read the signs and body language. Most of the rows on this or any other forum begin with misunderstandings. If you acted like you did on here in real life, towards people you didn't know, you'd have probably been stabbed down a dark alley by now. So no, you're not like this in real life. Nothing wrong with any of that. Its the internet.

I think people make the mistake on here of taking OSD seriously. He's playing a vital role, that of the token ML hater. Without him, the current trend of the Mike Love Lovefest would go unchecked. OSD's not trolling, he's simply reminding us that Mike's a controversial figure. The Beach Boys have the fans they deserve, they're a peculiar bunch of people.

[SMiLE Brian]

Bravo, Stephen. The board was a very different place opinions-wise when OSD was banned.

[Micha]

I disagree with both of these opinions, but I respect them anyway as they are submitted in a civil way. (If "civil" is the right word.)

[Iron Horse-Apples]

Civil is my middle name.

[Shady]

Please tell me your real last name is 'Wright'

[Iron Horse-Apples]

Yes, and I've a brother named Orville, who wished he could fly.........
