This breaks my heart.

How is Melinda doing lately?

Very respectfully, he responded that he didn't feel the track honored the legacy and that I should do something else with my talent (paraphrasing). He was very kind and I want to stress that I don't feel anything negative towards his response.

Never should've asked him. *This* is the thanks integrity gets you!

That bit of instrumental music preceding GV--is it a H&V section?--is such an inspired lead-in. The Our Prayer reprise always sounded forced to me, and doesn't really work musically.

Guess I’m dumb, but I don’t know what you mean by “the main thread,” and I can’t find a download link. Muchas gracias!

Not dumb!! Here's a link Smiley

Thank you!! I have never in 20 years or so wandered into the Beach Boys media section (or even noticed it existed). I will download this and listen to it this afternoon!

Patiently waiting for AI fix the vocal flub in Soulful Old Man Shunshine...

Are we *sure* Carl didn't mean to sing "Soulful old man SHINE shine shine your light divine on me"?
8  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Brian AI Project. on: March 31, 2023, 07:57:45 AM
To me, the AI vocals sound much more convincing than AI photos.

Imagine the possibilities. Using Brian's current voice to do a lead vocal for What a Fool Believes, and then slipping it into his jukebox...

Actually, I'd like to hear that.

This is all so freaking fantastic. As Brian seems to be pretty much done recording, these sort of projects will fulfill a real need. Keep it coming, please!

I wonder if it would be possible to, for example, take multitracks of vocals from a Beatles song, including backing vocals, and replace every single track with an AI Beach Boy equivalent (using the recorded tracks as guide vocals, rather than re-recording one's own). Here, There, and Everywhere?

(Well, heck, this would be the best way to replace vocal tracks on BWPS.)

Haven’t seen it, but my money would be on it being Daria.

It’s near the beginning. Looks like Carnie to me. Daria wears glasses.

As for the rest of us, we can all die knowing that we were Brian’s #4 choice.
12  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Johnny Depp & Jeff Beck re-recorded Dennis Wilson on: January 12, 2023, 08:41:02 PM
So what do we know about the Brian/Jeff Beck sessions besides the following? a: Al Jardine singing something that sounded like an Indian chant; b: a version of Danny boy was recorded; and c: there was a photo of Brian playing the bass with headphones on.

Al chimes in, FWIW:

Q: Brian canceled the balance of his 2022 dates during the summer. Do you think we’ll see him back on the road ever?

A: I’ve got a feeling, yes. I believe there are some offers for next summer coming. I’m just speculating -- a final tour this year, maybe. Why even say that, though? As long as we’re healthy...Brian doesn’t give you much as an entertainer, because he’s really introverted and he’s a really a studio genius, a songwriting genius, arranger. He does love to be out there, though, and when he’s on, man, watch out.

It said to follow the directions lower on the page. Did anybody see directions? I just saw download links.
15  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Does Bruce Hold Some Kind Of Record? on: November 20, 2022, 05:17:49 PM
But now he no longer holds the record.
16  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Does Bruce Hold Some Kind Of Record? on: November 20, 2022, 05:14:56 PM
No, but Brian does.
17  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Brian now in the studio on: October 22, 2022, 04:48:55 PM
Any word, rumours or innuendo as to what they are working on.

Has Brian done much or any writing lately? To get photos like this suggests an album to me, but maybe that's just wishful thinking.

Maybe it's a Strings & Horns sequel to At My Piano . .

Equally, it could just be a one off track for someone else's project, a tribute album or the like.

True, but the slightly–hyperbolic wording of the post (“new hit record”) suggest something more than Brian and Matt recording barely–audible backing vocals for another artist.

I’m not FB friends with Darian, but I can see posts from a few days ago on his feed, but nothing about this. Did he post them to a different page? Is it possible to post the photos here?

They were posted by Tomorrow Lab studios. Darian was only tagged in them. They are public, so I see no reason why they can't be shared.

Thank you. TommorowLabs and Tommorowland pull up *very* different results.

Brian seems to have some kind of bandage around his right wrist.

I *wish* my nightmares were this good.
 
The Pet Seaid Seaür Baid: Ptamic album looks like it would sound AWESOME.
21  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: New mix of Smile! All stereo, new sections, fresh overdubs-- it's good, honest! on: October 10, 2022, 06:38:33 PM
1/3 of the way through so far – – this is really nice. It’s more colorful and creative than a lot of the fan mixes out there.

One observation: the requested C-sharp at the beginning would not help them find the opening pictures for Our Prayer.  Smokin
22  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Brian’s vocal change Redux on: September 30, 2022, 10:46:43 AM
A couple things to add to the discussion... when did Brian first get dentures?  I'm sure that contributes to the lack of clarity of consonants and generally odd singing style later in life.  
I would guess that he got implants or veneers around 2007, and it improved things. Dentures seem a bit sketchy for someone of his economic status. Not saying there couldn’t have been a period with dentures or bridges prior to that.

I feel as though he started showing off his big bright white teeth by the time of the Lucky Old Sun photos. That is also the time at which his diction got much clearer— much crisper consonants than SMiLE in 2004.

Finally, Mike's beloved ode to muff diving can be heard by a new generation. Fans rejoice; Rockin' the Fan in the Boat

Looking at the lyrics it looks like something more manual

Ah well; it *is* a ‘digital release’ after all...

Don’t forget that he was grieving Ronnie Spector while performing Be My Baby night after night.
