The Smiley Smile Message Board

I mean, would people from Brian's inner circle regularly consult SSnet? To learn from our collective wit and wisdom? And to get a good impression of how we would love to see new and archival material to be assembled and sound?

As I, and sundry others, have been saying for years (seemingly to deaf ears), ALL the major BB/BW fora are monitored by interested parties, and by selected individuals. Why do you think certain tracks were included on the new box ?

So, again, remember that Big Brother really is watching you. And you. And you. And me.  ;D

Well, I was curious, and I guess I haven't read all of your 13,000+ posts, AGD. But still thanks for replying.

Patently.  ;D

I think it's just lovely that these wonderful SEVEN MINUTE HEROES AND VILLAINS people read our board and would hope that they feel SAIL ON SAILOR CASSETTE DEMO very welcome here. It would be a shame though if LOVE YOU DEMOS they were made to feel uncomfortable by SURF'S UP SECOND MOVEMENT ORCHESTRATION ridiculous requests for the release of rare material, such as the Adult Child album ADULT CHILD ALBUM. Of course, that said, I hope they SUNFLOWER/ADD SOME MUSIC DELUXE BOX SET continue to monitor our humble discussions about what might remain in the LEI'D IN HAWAII vaults and perhaps bear them in mind next time they're considering an archival release of CARNEGIE HALL CONCERTS 1972 anything along those lines.  I hope regular posters will remember these points in mind and be very subtle about requests for COMPLETE HITE MORGAN SESSIONS anything, remembering how fortunate we are to have such releases as Hawthorne CA, Made in California and LIFE SUITE Endless Harmony.

You might think that the 1974/76 SESSIONS could be of interest to several people here. also LIVE TRACKS from early 70's such as CCW, SU and other suitable tracks might be made available for instance.
In general VAULT MATERIAL will always be welcomed here and if not we always have BEACHBOYS.NET to look forward to. right?

Statistically it is quite probable that one reader in the 'inner circle' is colour blind.

So messrs. Manning and C-King, em, expect a knock on your doors anytime soon.

Hope this helps.

Just optimistic. I would post again with bold, but nah...

How about all the unreleased Brian solo stuff? Much more likely to find hidden gems there than in the more thoroughly mined Beach Boys vaults, I would guess.

Well, they weren't watching close enough. Where are “Big Sur” (4/4), "Carry Me Home", "I've Got A Friend", "I'm Going Your Way", "It's a New Day", and "We Got Love"?

And are you reading now, Brother Records, Boyd, and Linett? Please give us a Beach Boys Live Box set, showcasing early to mid 1970's concerts. Thank you.

Now, let's see if they've really been reading this board, eh? Time will tell. ;D

agree with Mikie 100%

93 box set tour with unplugged section..Full concert Paramount theatre....Bruce says this is wonderfull..I wouldn't know that tho.!!

Of course not, Mr. Wilson. And you wouldn't know about the '93 Red Barn Rehearsals either, would you?  :)

BRI, BriMel, Bruce, Mike's people and Alan's people have been monitoring this place (and others) for years. How do I know ? Simple: over the years, I asked and they told me. Boyd & Mark L are, of course, registered posters here. So, I think time has told.  :)

Well yeah, and Totten and Cowsill and Matt Jardine are also board members.

But if Bruce really reads this board, he's really taken some shots here the last few years. Surprised he hasn't logged on here like he use to on Male Ego. He'd probably garner more respect.

Royal Albert Hall 2012, please.

From memory he bailed when some post or poster upset him. Fine. His call. At least now he can read every thread both good and bad which is not a bad thing IMO. I'd be surprised if Foskett doesn't read here as well.

Between all the above names I'm thinking quite a few songs have made concert setlists over the years which may not have been the case without this forum.

I wonder what M&B think of my posts about them...... >:D

Mike and Bruce have this board bookmarked

they just consider the source

I strongly believe that. And when I see wishlists with songs that are later included on Brian's setlists, I think of Jeff Foskett. If not him, maybe Darian. When I see songs on the M & B setlists, I think maybe Scott Totten's been reading the board. Foskett's another guy who's taken some hits (unnecessary) on this board over the past several years.

Amusing and entirely true story - back in the days of Male Ego, George emailed me one day and said "there's some guy wanting to register says he's Bruce Johnston, so I thought I'd best check with you before I told him to go f*** himself: the email is IWTSgrammy76@AOL.com". My response was "tell him to go f*** himself if you like, but that's Bruce sure enough". Now, if he can stand the heat on Ego, this place is nothing in comparison.  ;D

You might be surprised.  ::)

I thought of starting a similar thread relating to the powers that be, fan/board pressure and hearing Rio Grande live before Brian hangs up his keyboard but didn't think it warranted it's own thread. So if anyone is reading, don't care when or where, I think many of us would love to here it (and see it thanks to YouTube) just once before Brian and band pack up and walk off into the sunset.

That e-mail address is SO Bruce it's not true.

I read this board, even now as I do a teaching stint in China ( a weird juxtaposition).

Hey Brian, Hey Mike, Hey Bruce, Hey Al, Hey David!!!!!

Keep on Keepin' on!

It"s nice to know you can get this board in China..Considering how the government doest like the Internet.

IWTS grammy76..?.. HMM ??  I won the stinkin Grammy 76 ..!  maybe not. ?

I hear the Party Leaders are huge fans, with enormous collections of bootlegs to show for it. Recently some big upstart in the Party got jailed for life. Official story: corruption. True story: he failed to recognise 'Summer Of Love' being played backwards in his test to get promoted to a higher echelon.

Mike is currently re-recording SIP in Mandarin Chinese, to enlighten the populace over there.

Remember who told you first.

Thank you.

 :spin   ;D

Nobody has mentioned Carrie Marks yet. Some classy posts over the years.

I may be remembering wrong, but I think I've seen Jeff Foskett post here as a registered user a couple of times. 

... or would be had I not made it up.  ;D

Yeah, was just thinking about Carrie. She use to post quite a bit over at Cabinessence before its demise. She posted here until Fall, 2011, then when the C50 reunion was imminent, she kinda bowed out. I miss wishing her a Happy Birthday on my birthday.  :)

Her last post was Feb this year and the stats say she last checked in during September so not that long ago.

My dreams have been shattered. And I made a fool of myself. Again.

Did Carnie W. ever post here? How about any members of the Vosse Posse?

Listed as a member but never any posts.

Some of the old-timers can correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember Michael Vosse himself coming on the board (2007-08 maybe?) for a day or two, answering some questions, and quickly exiting.

David Anderle's son (Jon?) posted on one of the boards for awhile. I think it was Ego or Smile Shop. Dunno if he's ever posted here. Billy Hinsche use to post on the BBB. Eddie Madora use to post on Cabinessence, recounting Murry and Dennis and Carl stories. And Jack Rieley........

I wonder if it's still in use...

Hello ? Care to read what I posted about seven hours ago and nine posts down from here ?
