My wife said, when I opened the amazon cardboard box today after work, I was just like a little child unwrapping its toys on Christmas. But that's not true, it was even better. A dream came true.
Well, I just listened to it and I am really impressed. A fine piece of music and best of all: Good Vibrations with the "Humdidum" extension
A feel a little pity for you guys on the other side of the ocean, still 4 days to go...
Now I'll listen again, but on headphones

Mr Stebbins, I just finished the book, it was a very enjoyable reading and I can and will recommend this fine piece of work. I especially liked the "What's Wrong?"and "No Go Showboat" chapters, not expecting them in a book apparently written by a fan and not a neutral music journalist. It seems that your book "Dennis Wilson: The Real Beach Boy" is out of print, I hope it will be published again in the future. If so, I'll promise you, I'll be the first to buy it. The whole Beach Boys reading experience made me even more waiting for Oct 28th, when SMilE is at last published after all those years...

Found the DVD in my mailbox at last and watched it instantly. I really enjoyed it. It's the exact mix of interviews, narration and music clips that makes it a captivating documentary. I really think it shows the essential contribution of Brian to pop music. Actually, I mostly enjoyed Prof. Lambert's music explanations (got to get his book). I dig it, when people explain music, not being a musician myself. Hey Danny Hutton, get a new pair of spectacles, the one you have don't fit, you have to get them in place every 30 seconds. That must be annoying? And Peter, I'm currently reading your book "Paul McCartney A Life" and now a have your voice in my head while reading it

These lists are always fun because everyone is annoyed, either their beloved artist is missing or an artist is in the list which is very doubtful to be in it (Hello Prince and Madonna, I mean you!)
As a Beach Boys Fan I think it sucks that they are not in the Top 5, where they belong. Nothing less! But with common sense I think #15 is a good result, isn't it?
Still desperately seeking Wishbone Ash... Where are they? Can't find them and that must be a mistake from those VH1 guys.

Kayla, I enjoy listening (and watching) your songs and I can't wait to hear your next cover. I'm excited to see, what song you will choose next. Keep up the excellent work! The Moose in the name might presume I'm Canadian, but I'm not Greetings from Germany

He's lucky, he paid 5 bucks, I paid much more. He would be much madder, if he paid what I paid. But apparently he knows that he doesn't like BW in the first place, so why did he spend his valuable money on it? I wouldn't even spend 2 Dollars on this Wishbone band, because I know it's not my music. Poor fella. He should watch the "Beautiful Dreamer" bonus disc, maybe he can learn... Ah, what the heck, wasted time... He wanted that we're annoyed. Some are, most of us are amused.
