I thought the Gershwin album /was/ the Disney album. Am I confused?

As part of the two record deal with Disney, first is the Gershwin album which drops in under two weeks, and next up is an album of classic Disney songs.

[P]

Please tell me someone captured the stream...

edit: "Gosh Darn" ??!? Who's programming the profanity filter, Alan friggin' Jardine ?     And if he is, instead of "what the f*** ?" I want "hey Brian, what's happening ?"

Golly gee, that'd be swell!  But jeepers Wally, perhaps a more appropriate phrase would be "hmm... what's up, Brian?"  and use the sound clip from Endless Harmony   

Oh yeah, congrats on 5000 posts, Andrew G. Doe, whoever you are.

AGD is the world famous leading authority on all things Lady GaGa.  He knows more than she does at this point.  Hell he probably knows what she had for breakfast on April 23rd 1996.

All teasing aside, congrats on 5000 Andrew, here's to 5000 more!

Since I don't think that would go for, say, 'Bohemian Rhapsody',

You've never heard "Weird Al" Yankovic's Bohemian Polka then I take it?   

Get well soon, Steve!  Rest easy and let the good vibes and heavenly harmonies of our favorite band heal you.

This is amazing stuff... beautiful, stunning, breathtaking, wonderful... can't wait to hear the whole thing!!

My two cents

"I'm Wishing"
"Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah"
"Little April Showers"
"I Wanna Be Like You"
"Bella Notte"
"Under The Sea"
"The Bare Necessities"
"Kiss The Girl"
"A Whole New World" (duet with Taylor)
"The Monkey's Uncle" (with Taylor doing Annette's part)
"A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes"
"When You Wish Upon A Star"

VERY dissapointing news.  I've been waiting for this album for years and as soon as there's a physical release, I'll be the first to get it. But as long as it's a digital release only: screw it. I'm not paying for digital files or a CD-recordable.

Who said it would just be MP3s burned to CD?

Er... the amazon.com website ?

The way I read the Amazon description was that they do have access to the master files and then burn those to CD.

What are CD-R and DVD-R media?

CD-Rs and DVD-Rs (the "R" stands for "recordable") look like the discs you're used to and offer the same audio and image quality. This recordable media is used to manufacture titles on demand, as fully authorized by the content provider.

Through manufacturing on demand, CreateSpace, part of the Amazon.com group of companies, enables Amazon.com to offer music and video content that might not otherwise be available. Each disc comes fully packaged, with artwork, in a standard jewel case for audio and an Amaray case for video, although for reissued products the artwork may differ from the original.

CreateSpace works with many of the leading music labels, television networks, film studios, and other distributors to make these titles available to Amazon.com customers. All products are manufactured from original source materials (e.g., for audio products, uncompressed CD-quality audio).

By eliminating inventory, waste, and inefficiencies in the distribution system, on-demand manufacturing provides the added benefit of helping preserve the environment.

When shopping, you'll see CD-R or DVD-R on the product detail page for such products. Amazon.com's standard return policy applies to these purchases.

he wasn't syncopated enough... and he didn't sing sexy Rhonda... 

And can I say I wish that Brian included synth bass on all his records?

I'm going to pretend that "duplicate the universe" is a nod to Love You.  

LOL... would be more appropriate if the line was "duplicate the Solar System".  But perhaps this still works because not only can we duplicate the Solar System, we can duplicate the whole flippin universe now!  

*picking jaw up off of floor*

That was fucking incredible... damn I can't wait to hear the whole album now

[The Band:]

Not perfect, and the flow in the middle section could be tightened up, but I think it's a good start...

Thoughts?!?

Excellent work, AGD!   

I'd feel sorry for the poor sap who would have paid a fortune for these letters only to find out they're frauds had the auction not been stopped thanks to your efforts.

Run Don't Walk... isn't that one of Carl's tracks from Beckley/Lamm/Wilson "Like A Brother"

R.I.P. Laurie...   

Damn cancer always takes the good ones...

It'll happen on December 21, 2012.

Dang, my money was on February 31st...

"This guy did a very, very uncool thing to his girl. And that was it. She said, 'That's it, buddy, we're through.' He was like, 'WHAT?' So he's walking up and down the street at night wondering what the heck happened. And it's called 'Soul Searchin'"

ROFLMAO!!!   Oh how I wish I could have heard him say that... CLASSIC!!

I'll be in Milwaukee with a few friends, including at least one who has never experienced a BW concert.  Unsure about meetups, but we'll be around.

As someone who only really knows the Beatles from the hits played on Oldies stations, I am psyched to get my box sets!    Got a Stereo box on order from Amazon, and Mono on order from Best Buy.   Also have the Anthology DVDs in my Netflix queue.    Less than 2 weeks until Beatles Day!!

Just be sure to keep a backup... 1TB is a helluva lot of data to lose should the drive decide to take a dump!

I'm currently working on such a project myself

Just don't let her listen to Hey Little Tomboy.

LOL....  true that...  but it's still a damn catchy song

I wonder how many members of this board are under 25?

makes me want to cry. I just turned 26. I feel old now. 

You're still a youngling...   I feel old being almost 33.  I remember 13 or 14 years ago a lifetime ago on what is now PSML I was known as "Jeffy (aka The Kid)" before adopting my current username of GoofyJeff (in reference to the Disney character, but also my sense of humor) because I thought I was too young to be a fan.  

Okay there may be hope for me yet, with this recent influx of young female BB fans...   Then again, I'm no longer of the youngest generation at 32, almost 33.... 

Welcome aboard, LSG, or Brittany, or whatever you'd like to be called
