The Smiley Smile Message Board

See Smiley Smilers Who Make Music Survivor #1 for rules.  I'll begin the nominations:

-rab2591: Wild Blue (http://soundcloud.com/robert-borszich/wild-blue)
-FOTM: It's You (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uByfsmw6umg&feature=youtu.be)

There is a song by The Surf School Dropouts I want to nominate but I don't recall the name.  Kwan, if you see this, it's the one where we discussed the lyrics.

There have been some great songs here, so get to nominating.

EoL

Thanks MessOfHelp.  If there is anyone else who doesn't want to post here, please let me know.

Another nomination:

BubblyWaves/Judd: Alabraska (https://soundcloud.com/dogface-mcgraw/alabraska)

For those not in the know, this is a mashup of Alabama and Nebraska.

Keep those nominations coming.

You could say he made a mess of helping   :smokin

Well, it's not as if I had any reputation on this board anyway :P

No-one can beat Alabraska, but since you did not nominate I Resign I will.

I'd nominate a great deal of Luther's (now the captain) songs, as well as Endless Open Sky by Mount Moon, Eater Bunny by SgtTimBob... The list goes on & on.

Thank you rangerover.  Have you any links for the aforementioned songs?  You aren't going to make me search them out, are you?

Luther/Captain has posted a lot of songs, anyone want to name a couple for inclusion here?

Ok, as indicated by the new name of this thread, we are ditching the survivor methodology.  I know I don't want a bunch of people voting to boot my song, especially if it gets voted out first.  My guess is others won't appreciate it either.

So...we will just make a favorites list.  You can nominate your own songs if you want to.  I'll compile them at the end, we can collectively sequence them, and then, assuming we have the artists permission, I'll post them all and those who will can download them.

Also, which hypehat tune are we going to include?

Rewind by JMZ: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LhoSSI2XeQ

Hands down the greatest song I've heard from any member here....And one of the best songs I've heard period. It's always stayed in my top 25 playlist on iTunes.

Haha I agree, however even being nominated this early in is a huge honor, and a great birthday present to boot :)

I love the "Smiley Smile Greatest Hits" idea, that would be one hell of an album.

Thanks for the nomination!

For those keeping track, which is pretty  much just me, here is what we have so far:

Rab2591:       Wild Blue
FOTM:         It's You
Bubbly Waves/Judd:   Alabraska
Empire Of Love:      I Resign
SgtTimeBob:      Easter Bunny
Mount Moon:      Endless Open Sky
Luther/Captain:      ?
Hypehat:                      ?
JMZ:         Rewind

Someone pick a Luther song and a Hypehat song.

I recently saw hypehat uploaded a track called Willow, it's fantastic, I'm not sure if it's original but if it is, DAMN.

I nominate California by Surf School Dropouts.

Link: https://surfschooldropouts.bandcamp.com/track/california

I nominate A Long Way From Home by Wolvez (Pinder).

Can't find the link.

Thank you for the nomination, Eol. The song you're thinking about is Follow the Sun.

http://surfschooldropouts.bandcamp.com/track/follow-the-sun

This is a fun topic. I'll get back with a few nominations asap.

Hmmm, Ok. Here are my nominations.

First off - two songs from Ego/Rab as the Wrecking Two. I found it impossible to choose between these two great songs so I'm just gonna nominate both:

Stay Awake
https://soundcloud.com/thewreckingtwo/stay-away-egohanger-rab

Should I Worry? (I'm always a sucker for a heartfelt dose of Wall of Sound)
https://soundcloud.com/thewreckingtwo/should-i-worry

Then there's Mike's lovely Half-Asleep. This is my favourite of your songs, Mike.
http://mikeleroy.bandcamp.com/track/half-asleep

... and finally this great track off sometime poster Jared Lekites Star Map album (which I highly recommend)
http://jaredlekites.bandcamp.com/track/star-map-part-two

Another one...

Swedish Frog/Rab2591: An Older Hymn (https://soundcloud.com/swedish-frog/an-older-hymn)

Another one...

Swedish Frog/Rab2591: Laurel Leaves (https://soundcloud.com/swedish-frog/laurel-leaves)

It seems we need a Stephen Newcome song nominated here.  Any suggestions?

‍

I'll second this! JMZ's an awesome artist.

Everyone here writes great stuff. Also definitely wanna shoutout DonnyL's production.. incredible!

User 'Gohi' here's track 'Unforgiving Night' is without a doubt one of my favourite tracks of 2013: http://michaeldermot.bandcamp.com/track/unforgiving-night

I'll fill u in on this - the lyrics are from Othello, and that's a demo I did for a show of Shakespeare bits my theatre company put on for a fundraiser. I'm glad you like it, I should really get around to recording it and the others we did (including songs from Twelfth Night, As You Like It). I have this demo, which has some haphazard vocal overdubs I put on mostly cos I was really glad I had my falsetto back after quitting smokes...

Also, thanks  ;D

Sorry for the late response, EoL. Here's a link to an album, from which "Endless Open Sky" came: http://mount-moon.bandcamp.com/album/lets-all-go-to-her-marmalade-workshop
It's a 6-track EP with both boy's & girl's vocals. You can judge it for yourself, I for one like "Endless Open Sky" aka "not best one". Most people's favorite is either "Wolf's Blood" or "Islands" (+ "Forest"), according to the leader of "Mount Moon".

Timothy McGraw - Easter Bunny (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJsh_tX0a8I) (yep, on that January post I mistakenly wrote "eater" instead of "Easter")

Well, it'd take a lot of time to list all my favorites by Luther/The Beau Mondes, and they anyway were posted via sendspace, am afraid the links are dead by now. However, there's a recent demo of his I enjoyed: https://soundcloud.com/the-beau-mondes/no-substitute Check it.

I can post some more fully finished ones to soundcloud if anybody wants. Not sure which ones people like, but I can do several. If there are requests, let me know.

I put 10 or so songs up at https://soundcloud.com/the-beau-mondes beyond the 3 demos that were (and are) up.

That was good... who's this JMZ fellow???

I don't think he has posted here in a while, unfortunately. He also created a phenomenal SMiLE mix as well that you can find on pretty much any Beach Boys blog (it's titled JMZs mix or something).
