Title: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: alf wiedersehen on May 27, 2016, 10:58:19 AM I'm leaving for a while, and I'm not sure how long I'll be absent. I actually decided to take a break about a week ago, but I've come back today specifically for Unreleased Backgrounds, who is both a wonderful artist and human being, and you should listen to his music. I posted my thoughts on his new album in the thread dedicated to his band (http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,15315.0.html).
Despite what tradition dictates, there is no exit rant to read in this thread--I just wanted to inform whoever cares about my presence here. Feel free to P.M. me for additional contact details or anything else you'd like to say or ask. Alternatively, you can find me on the Hoffman board under my regular name of Bubbly Waves. It's apparently where all the racist weirdos hang out*, so come on over. It should be a good time. That's all, folks. I'll see you around. *it's not Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: JK on May 27, 2016, 12:40:18 PM Be seeing you, BW. You really have made a difference round here...

I will humorously bash NPP in your honor. Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: RangeRoverA1 on May 27, 2016, 03:01:14 PM What's this crying for? He said he'll be back. And btw, it's Bubbly Waves, not Bubs.
Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: Douchepool on May 27, 2016, 03:16:30 PM Mr. Pool has a sad that Bubs has decided to move on to greener pastures. :'(
Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: RangeRoverA1 on May 27, 2016, 03:31:49 PM Hoffman is "greener pastures"? Who woulda thunk. This is best music forum, let's not kid ourselves.
Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: Douchepool on May 27, 2016, 03:34:38 PM Well, he may or may not consider them such. I don't consider them such. :lol
Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: RangeRoverA1 on May 27, 2016, 03:42:06 PM I checked in the past what's that Hoffman thing people talk about - board like board, nothing new, what's the big deal? It's like people get paid for visiting it, ha.
Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: Emily on May 27, 2016, 03:45:04 PM The Hoffman board has so many people that it's more anonymous feeling, like YouTube, but it's very heavily moderated so it's not got that nastiness of YouTube (or that can sometimes show up here). So it's like an enormous bulletin board where you can only be nice.
Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: RangeRoverA1 on May 27, 2016, 04:20:04 PM The point is, rbb cried that Bubbly Waves supposedly leaves it for better place which Hoffman isn't. He said will be back. Seriously, can you beat the Smiley Smile board? It's the best.
Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: Douchepool on May 27, 2016, 07:15:59 PM The Hoffman board is a clusterfuck. I can respect the sheer amount of knowledge on hand. It's just not The Pool's bag, baby.

Clean slate I say! >:D Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: Douchepool on May 27, 2016, 07:25:32 PM A new board will rise from the ashes, with two Douches to run it all!

It's the most shitkickingest pile of horribleness since Country Love!*
*I love Brian Wilson Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: RangeRoverA1 on May 27, 2016, 07:35:08 PM Many people love him. He brought joy with the BBs. But...let's not forget Al.
Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: Douchepool on May 27, 2016, 07:36:09 PM How can you not love the Jardine? He wanted the innocence!
Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: RangeRoverA1 on May 27, 2016, 07:37:32 PM What's your favorite Al vocal?
Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: Douchepool on May 27, 2016, 07:39:14 PM Probably Christmas Day.
Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: RangeRoverA1 on May 27, 2016, 07:40:12 PM Interesting. Not classic Help Me Rhonda?
Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: Douchepool on May 27, 2016, 07:42:38 PM Also a favorite, but there's a je ne sais quoi about Christmas Day. Al doesn't usually sing a lot of ballads, so that one just serves as a highlight.
Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: RangeRoverA1 on May 27, 2016, 07:46:46 PM Also a favorite, but there's a je ne sais quoi about Christmas Day. Al doesn't usually sing a lot of ballads, so that one just serves as a highlight. What about Lady Lynda sans Bach intro version?Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: Douchepool on May 27, 2016, 07:48:12 PM I like the song, but Al's vocal sounds too...gee whizish, if that makes sense. It doesn't seem to work as well as it should.
Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: RangeRoverA1 on May 27, 2016, 07:49:39 PM You basically say his voice is fit for rockers?
Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: Douchepool on May 27, 2016, 07:50:11 PM In most cases, yeah. Peggy Sue and Help Me Rhonda are his best "rock" vocals.
Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: RangeRoverA1 on May 27, 2016, 07:52:11 PM How would you rank the BBs as vocalists? I assume Brian and Mike take 1st slot?
Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: Douchepool on May 27, 2016, 07:53:59 PM Carl, Brian, Michael, Al, Dennis, Bruce, Blondie, Ricky, and David, although David's slightly rough vocals fit his solo music. Same with Blondie.
Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: You Kane, You Commanded, You Conquered on May 27, 2016, 07:55:50 PM Best Al vocal is Back Home (1970). This is a fact.
Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: Douchepool on May 27, 2016, 07:56:15 PM That's another good one. I'm glad it finally found a release.
Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: RangeRoverA1 on May 27, 2016, 07:59:53 PM Carl, Brian, Michael, Al, Dennis, Bruce, Blondie, Ricky, and David, although David's slightly rough vocals fit his solo music. Same with Blondie. Al higher than Dennis - nice! Btw, why do you call Mike Michael? Is it some running joke?Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: Douchepool on May 27, 2016, 08:04:19 PM Well, it's his name, isn't it?
Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: RangeRoverA1 on May 27, 2016, 08:06:06 PM Yes I mean why not just Mike? why official?
Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: Douchepool on May 27, 2016, 08:08:48 PM No particular reason, but for some reason it annoys people. Why, I don't know.
Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: RangeRoverA1 on May 27, 2016, 08:11:26 PM Not sure "people", I just was curious.
I do like Al's name Alan. Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: Douchepool on May 27, 2016, 08:12:31 PM I could always be the cool guy on the board and call him mYke luHv.

That's because you're not referring to him by his official title "Mr. Maharishi Micheal Edward J.

Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: ♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇 on May 28, 2016, 12:42:57 AM I remember there was a guy on the old Wheeler board who used to always call Mike Love 'Mitch'

Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: Douchepool on May 28, 2016, 11:29:16 AM It should be a moral imperative to despise GIOMH with everything one has in his soul.

You keep on dreamin', boy. ??? Fingernails on the proverbial chalkboard that could easily distinguish the candles instantly. Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: The Shift on May 28, 2016, 11:56:39 PM I think, btw, that fuel was thrown on the objectivity fire when someone (forget who) pointed out that you also moderate on Brian Wilson's board. When some here were accusing AGD of being on Mike's payroll … this revelation looked unfortunate in light of the fact that the board's two prime trolls, LOSD and his young familiar Snail Brian, appeared able to attack Mike with impunity… …I have noted, at long last, an apparent reduction in their misbehaviour. If this is due to a restraining order, then you, GF, and Billy are due a note of grateful thanks! Why, we're so damn fortunate that we have people here like you :lol to faithfully monitor, with incessant determination, our *behavior*. You can't even spell the word let alone determine just what is or isn't misbehavior is on this board. Quit trying to be an effig cop :police: will you? You're not a moderator. You don't make the rules and as far as I'm concerned, YOU'RE a troll, ok? Maybe it's time for you to hide behind you're favorite rock-The Hickey Script. You'll be all safe and warm there, Johnny Boy. :lol I think you'll find we were spelling "behaviour" that way for a few centuries before the word crossed the Atlantic for it and other elements of the language to be misshapen and transformed. As for the Hickey Script, I don't use it. But its creation made me realise that I simply don't have to read any of your highly valued contributions to proceedings here, and my life improved there and then. Ps: what's an "effig cop", Mr Spelling Queen? Cousin Brian needs to remember the Love Thang. The Mike Love Sound is why we have the Beach Boys. You keep on dreamin', boy. ??? Fingernails on the proverbial chalkboard that could easily distinguish the candles instantly. You keep trying to distinguish them effig candles, Losdy! :lol Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: You Kane, You Commanded, You Conquered on May 29, 2016, 07:34:11 AM It's like an argument in a nursing home

Whether this upsets or pleases you, I am sorry to inform you I just don't care anymore. I was so upset with different aspects of this place, but I'm letting go of all of it. This used to a wonderful place filled with wonderful people, but it has changed so drastically as to be unrecognizable (from my perspective). And that makes me sad--this place was so important to me for so long, and now it just gives me anxiety. Most of the people I liked have packed up and moved on with their lives, and I suppose it's time I do so as well.
What I said still stands: feel free to contact me by email (I made it visible on my profile), on the Hoffman board (same name), or even on the Pet Sounds forum (although I have resigned from my moderation duties this morning). So long, and thanks for all the fish. Joshua, a.k.a. Bubbly Waves Title: Re: So I'm goin away but not forever Post by: JK on June 07, 2016, 02:26:55 PM even on the Pet Sounds forum (although I have resigned from my moderation duties this morning). That's alarming news. I hope all is well in your life. All the best, Josh. |
