I would wait until Brian did some acid, pull him aside, and show him an episode of Full House on my magical phone.

Maybe I'd follow that with The New Leave It to Beaver. Or the premiere of SMiLE; I dunno.

This one is hard to spot, but if you look real close in this video clip, you can spot the band's dignity floating away into the ether:

I don't know when I'll be playing Looking Back With Love again; maybe Mike can get Trump to do a duet on a Rockin' The Man in the Boat remake.  Undecided

Grabbin' the Little Man in the Boat?

Isn't "Wipeout" a pure stack of Brians?
56  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Did Van Dyke Parks write all of the lyrics on Smile? on: January 01, 2017, 03:19:10 PM
when I first glanced at the title of this thread, I thought it said:

Dick Van Dyke Parks ......

He'd probably prefer if you asked him first.
57  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Bruce sings the lead on Cal Girls!!! on: December 27, 2016, 04:25:49 PM
I can't hear Bruce on the lead anyway, he's moving his lips but is being overshadowed by the other guy.

Bruce sang verse one entirely by himself, I think; other guy sang verse two by himself.

This is what all BB gigs are going to look like from now on, if they do the inauguration.

Give me one Donald Trump tweet that makes him a racist.

Thank you. You just made my argument. You don't know Donald Trump personally. Neither do I. But to call someone a racist simply because of what you might have heard on NPR, CNN, MSNBC, Washington Post or New York Times or whatever does your cause (whatever it is) no justice and diminishes you. Maybe not to all those who might agree with you, but most certainly not for those who come here wanting to talk about the Beach Boys. Everything you stated is YOUR OPINION - you have no proof whatsoever. If you want to hurl serious charges like this you better have more proof or at least have the decency of posting at Daily Kos or Huffington Post. Again - and it's just my view - this board deserves better.

Remember when Trump retweeted an image claiming 85% of whites are killed by blacks (when it's really 15%)? You know how that was debunked in the media, but Trump never disowned the tweet or apologized for it?

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2015/nov/23/donald-trump/trump-tweet-blacks-white-homicide-victims/

That's something racists do. Trump is a racist. Even if he personally doesn't give a crap, appealing to and encouraging supporters' racism is BEING RACIST.

We can talk about Steve Bannon, sherriff's stars, Pepe memes and the alt-right, too. I'd be curious as to your feelings regarding Trump's campaign ceo and chief policy advisor being a nationally-known alt-right (white supremacist) figurehead.

I'm getting the feeling that many people in this thread are liberals which is just a shorthand of saying hysterical people with no political understanding very little formal education and who read a couple of selected websites like moveon.org or read the guardian rag magazine and have hatred for Trump who is already doing an outstanding job in leading this country and will do more for women and more for minorities and more for the gay community than all the brain-dead Liberals combined that have tried to lead this country of late .  I don't like to get angry or unkind here but I'm so frustrated with the moral self-righteousness of snarky liberals who pay no attention to the real actions and accomplishments of the president-elect and just go with the crowd from things they have heard from other uninformed and barely educated people who live only for hate and snark. I would be thrilled if the Patriotic Beach Boys would put country first and would perform which is not a political act but an act of patriotism and unity. I thought the motto on the left was stronger together wasn't it? There is nothing more intolerant and hate-filled than a leftist American liberal.

American Liberals are an elite academic cast who are capable only in performing in a snarky way what they call social justice and I am very disappointed that the level of intellectual depth in this thread, which is equivalent to that of someone like Samantha Bee on television. I am one of the intellectuals for Trump and like him I have liberal social policies and I believe in protection and prosperity and have seen nothing but failure in the Obama years.

Let's talk about Trump University, Pepe memes, sherriff's stars, a retweet with false statistics that 85% of whites are murdered by blacks (it's really 15%), Steve Bannon, the alt-right conference in Washington, "blood coming out of her wherever" and "you have to treat (women) like sh*t", an utterly inexperienced and homophobic cabinet, and Hair Furor's promise to overturn marriage equality on day one, "Professor."

I assume you mean the tambourine at 0:08 (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K6Ok9bKdAeU). That doesn't really bug me-- I hear one slightly sluggish entrance but don't hear the speeding up.

Yeah, I meant the "look out, babe"/"split, man" parts. I should have said follow the bass, not the horns.
62  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Did Brian ever choose the wrong takes? on: December 02, 2016, 07:16:17 PM
That's definitely not a drum flub in LGIOK. It's an obvious bad edit (sounds almost like a needle skipping a groove), and about 2 beats are missing.

Listen to the same bit at the end of the second verse, and try counting both. Try singing/following the horn part.

It's possible Brian was trying to trick the listener into thinking the record skipped, which would be an interesting bit of humor. If it was just a bad edit, one has to wonder how every single person listening to the tape before the records were pressed could have missed that.
63  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Should the Beach Boys play the Trump inauguration? on: November 26, 2016, 01:45:59 PM
The reason we love the band is because of what Brian made them. He would never be there. No one cares what Mr. Wheeeeeeeeen and I Wrote the Song do.

That said, I couldn't see Scott Totten showing up.
64  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: What became of Peter Blake's Pet Sounds illustrations? on: November 10, 2016, 09:30:01 PM
Not sure he could've repeated the Sgt. Pepper multiface, as it hadn't been released yet.

The multifaces were so sparse on the GIOMH cover, it was like a 70th-anniversary parade of WWII vets.

Yesterday somebody at his concert in Norway posted this on the FB Brian Wilson Tour page:

Brian fall out trying to sit at his chair,it looked really bad,matt,al and i think darian help him got up, when he was coming back for the encore...surprisingly he finished the whole set like nothing happened..!
66  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Advantages of Hearing Smile in Mono on: October 19, 2016, 08:54:34 PM
Not the biggest fan of mono in general, but I think the 2011 mono mix of "Cabin-Essence" sounds pretty cool, especially with Mike's pitched-shifted vocals during the "Grand Coulee Dam" section.

Pitch-shifted? I'm not remembering this...

I found this Google preview, but am forcing myself not to read it.

Traveling Wilburys, Mach 2:

Jeff Lynne, Jerry Lee Lewis, Tom Petty, Brian Wilson, Bob Dylan

I don't know how anyone could mistake that for Jeff-- he and Brian don't sound remotely alike.

It's kind of like debating whether a person in a given photo is Bill Cosby or Miley Cyrus. If you look, you can probably tell.

That was a pretty sweet way to spend an hour. Fantastic work.

In Awake, I was hoping for the outro from the American Spring recording to be grafted onto the end... Evil
