Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Where does "Carl and the Passions - 'So Tough' " rank?

Hi all. I've been doing a lot of talking and writing about "Carl and the Passions - 'So Tough' " lately, and I'd love to see you all weigh in. Where does "Carl and the Passions" rank on your list of favorite/best Beach Boys albums? I wouldn't compare it to "Pet Sounds" or even "Today" and I do think "Sunflower" is the quintessential seventies album, but "Carl and the Passions" has to be a contender for next best seventies album, right? Maybe with "Holland" as a runner up? Agree / disagree? My full review of the album is here: http://laptopsessions.com/archives/1259 -- whether you visit the link or not, I'd love to read what others think! |

Hi everyone, I haven't posted for quite some time, but I can't remain silent any longer. I just recorded a Beach Boys song for the blog that I contribute to. Which song? Well, here goes... "Passing Friend" from the self-titled 1985 album. Now, I know what you're thinking. But, if you'd like to hear a stripped down version, are looking for a hearty belly laugh, and/or actually like 1985, then please feel free to click away below: http://laptopsessions.com/archives/1188Summer is here - it's the best time to listen to the "Keeping the Summer Alive/1985" two-fer -- and I know, I know... please send complaints about my taste care of Chris Moore @ the Laptop Sessions. lol  Take care, - Chris |

Yes and no -- Laptop Sessions is a free blog for cover song videos. Right now, it's just me and few of my friends, but we'd like to have Fridays be "guest" day where someone from the web contributes a video. We'll only choose one per week, so it's a competition in that sense.
I hope you're interested -- we'd love to have you post on our site!

Hi everyone -- I wish you all a happy new year! It's been a while since I've posted on the Smiley Smile message board, as the holidays are in full swing. But I'd like to pass this message on to all musicians on the board who like playing covers, Beach Boys or otherwise. Here it is: Be a guest performer on the Laptop Sessions and have your video seen by hundreds - even thousands - of people! It's a simple, 2-step process... First, record a cover song music video (choose any cover!) and post it on YouTube.com. Second, send an email to admin@laptopsessions.com with: - the link to your YouTube cover video - a written description of your video (info about the song, why you recorded it, etc.) - your contact info Jim, Chris, and Jeff will choose one video each week, to be posted on Friday. Don't wait -- submit your Laptop Session today!! ** Please, no more than two (2) submissions per week. ** We're looking forward to including new faces and interpretations! Take care, -Chris |

Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Brian Wilson concert 7/16

I'm sorry to post again on what is essentially a link, but I forgot to share the set list. The Brian Wilson show was part of a "Greatest Hits" tour, and he played soooo many of their greatest songs, I felt like I had walked into a bona fide Beach Boys concert! Brian Wilson Set List - LIVE 7/16/2008Once again, I'm just on such a Beach Boys and Brian Wilson high, that I have to share these. Does anyone know where I can find a list of recent BB and BW set lists? Thanks! -Chris |
