Title: SMiLE enters charts at Number Ten
Post by: The Shift on March 02, 2011, 08:23:15 AM
A, ahem, version of SMiLE has debuted at Number 10 in the chart of a newly confagulated website, the like of which I've not come across before.

Here's the Vital Vibes chart:

1. The Blues Project NYC 1966
2. Allen Toussaint-Elvis Costello-Hank Jones-Bill Charlap – Manhattan Beach Studios Aug 2010
3. B.B. KING – FILLMORE EAST - NYC – JUNE 19, 1971
4. Midnight Oil-07/04/2002 – Petrillo Music Shell
5. Pearl Jam – 03/28/1992
6. Ramones - 4Acres – Utica, NY – 11/14/1977
7. Bassekou Kouyate and Ngoni Ba – 06/10/2010
8. Milwaukee Symphony – Rachmaninoff Symphony 2-part 1
9. Bob Marley & The Wailers – Soundcheck/Part of show Barcelona 1980
10. Beach Boys – Smile Outtakes.

One suspects this site* won't be around for very long, so bask in SMiLE's early chart glory while you can!

While I'm not going to provide a link, those familiar with Google shouldn't find it too hard to locate.

Does anyone really still listen to Midnight Oil?

* and possibly this thread – I understand completely!

From what I found the font on the advertisement of the website in question is oddly familiar....quite like the use of the the word 'vibes'

hmmm.

Hmmm... you might have found a different site to the one I found - the font I saw is just a tasteless bright thing...  didn't see anything to get excited about, sadly...

nd the word Vibes – well, Ann Summers used Good Vibrations as the title of her autobiography a few years back.  I think I've still got a copy – it was nothing to get excited about. Not musically, anyways!

:lol yeah I did see a tastless bright thing, but the website address and their tagline (in the header of the website) are the spitting image of the current Beach Boys logo font.

I see two odd coincidences for a very sketchy looking website....I mean, who gets Beach Boys boots streamed to their phone? Let alone Midnight Oil? LOL.

Ah.. THAT font -  yes, very BBs logo circa 76-onwards...    but all very unofficial!

Nice to see the Milwaukee Symphony is top-ten this week, they're known as quite a chart-busting powerhouse.

The Rachmaninoff 2nd Symphony is a great work, but the Milwaukee Symphony is not really a top tier orchestra. The recording on the site is pretty poor too. There are FAR better recordings of this.

That is an interesting site though - some stuff on there I was quite surprised to see!
