Title: BWPS Rough Mixes boot?
Post by: onkster on August 11, 2008, 11:34:47 AM
I read on another board there is a boot called "SMiLE: Mark Linett Rough Mixes"--has anybody heard this?  Anything notably new or different?

Hopefully this isn't a verboten topic here...if it is, no prob...

I can't imagine that simply discussing the content of a boot could be banned. If that be banned, then we might as well ban discussing things like speeding, gambling on a Chicago Transit Authority train, or removing a tag from the mattress, as those are illegal too.

What I meant was, since Linett is an honored guest on our board, perhaps it might be a tad awkward discussing something leaked directly from his work...

2) Talking about bootlegs is fine. Posting messages asking for bootlegs or offering bootlegs is not fine. That's what private messages and emails are for.

So I guess this should be no problem...

Anybody else find the thread title misleading? BWPS and the 'Rough Mixes' boot from the late 80's, have nothing to do with each other...

Except that he's clearly talking about the rough mixes of BWPS.

I suspect it is probably the 1988 thing, not BWPS.

Sorry!  My misinterpretation...

That would make a little more sense. I can't imagine anyone would be interested in rough mixes of BWPS which could only sound like an inferior version of what was released.

Actually, it's perfectly legal for the owner of a mattress to remove the tag from said mattress.  It's the seller that can't.

There is a boot floating around called the Alternate BWPS though.  I saw it listed on a blog somewhere along the way but didn't bother with it, as I also assumed it was just an inferior version of the real thing.  That or one of the live recordings maybe?  Just speculation on my part.

Yeah, if there is one thing history has taught us, it's that Beach Boys fans are only interested in final, released product, not alternate mixes, sessions or outtakes.

Great news. Maybe now I can think of returning from Canada and resuming my old life.

Add a few doses of cynicism, a dab of tough love, and a lot of condescending feelings along with the irony and you have a Male Ego post. :)

This board's too nice. We need some more mean-spirited remarks here.

You will note the deliberate attempt to drive the thread off-topic, in the Ego tradition.

What's the mattress tag thing all about? Terrorism related?

The Alternate Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE is just another fan mix made by a guy who calls himself The Alternate Brian Wilson.  He had a blog or something somewhere but I think the powers that be got it shut down.

The Mark Linett Rough Mixes are from 1988 when there was a possibility of a Capitol release, and those rumors about Brian redoing SMiLE with Landy-fied lyrics.

Don't forget John B's original Message Board, which evolved/devolved into Male Ego, via a few heated discussions and a change of server.

Where is Junkstar these days? Anyone know?

For the record, I wasn't being cynical, condescending, had no tough love to offer and have never been to nor posted on the Male Ego board. I was just making a joke.

luther...that board was a real hoot about 10 yrs ago up until 2004 or so. boy did opinions really fly there then....  :lol
MTG  (for mike's the greatest) was the local idiot (imo) there. had heated discussions with that dude many times, as did others.

like i said...my handle was 2 words put together into one word....won't say what that was but a clue to the oldies who posted there back then... "HL" were the 1st letters of the 2 words....    ;D

really miss that board...  ;)

Yeah, I gathered most of that. Just making sure my intentions weren't being distorted. I'm very rightly called an asshole often enough, so I try to make sure when I'm not being one, nobody thinks it of me.  ;D

I suspect MTG morphed into a new persona in one of the Beach Boys boards. If he is who I think he is, he really didn't change a lot, only subtracted the word 'cultists' from his vocabulary. :-)

The funniest one (at least to me) was the guy that pretended he was dead and then came back. Anyone remember the "Is Melinda a Model?" thread. That one was a freakin' riot  :lol :lol

Someone could do a valuable work of cultural anthropology by tracing the roots and fates of the BB/BW message boards. It surprises me that so few of the originals are around anymore -- although the posters certainly are.

I started out on the old Cabinessence board in the mid-90s. I remember Billy Castillo and Eric Aniv. when they were mere pups! Then the halcyon days of the Smile Shop, then its morphing into this -- then its ressurection and demise.

And the fact that Diablo Cody was involved in it all ... strange times. Fun ones, at that.
