Oh man, good thing the extended version of "mean for you" didn't end up on Friends, those pony lyrics kill the beauty of the song  

Ha! I feel the other way. They take one of my favorite Beach Boys pieces to another level. Love them and can't believe they left them off the album!

2014: Love & Mercy

Well they both have a version of Ol Man River in their catalog and Brian's been playing his lately ...

Holy crap. Thanks, doinnothin!

What did I miss...

WHAT DID I MISS?

Link to WIBNTLA.

Son of a bitch.

No fucking way. It was probably the link to the new version of California Feeling from MIC. Right? 

Yep.

WHAT WAS IT.

new version of California Feeling from MIC.

I would love an album of Brian just doing "feels" at the piano. 

This piece is SO Smile, that I have to wonder if he was working on this as a possible addition to a post Smiley Smile version of Smile. Pure conjecture, but I wonder.

A good review of the set: http://theseconddisc.com/2013/07/30/review-nilsson-the-rca-albums-collection/

Got any info on "Jump Into The Fire - alternate version (previously unreleased)"? So curious.

"I’d like to do the whole Love You album. Man, those are some of the best songs we ever did."

Just want to thank whichever board member hypnotized Al.

Looking forward to the track times getting posted. Especially to see how long the alternate "Meant For You" is.

Rollin' Up To Heaven?

I often find myself wishing there'd been a super group formed in 72 called WNNP. Wilson, Nilsson, Newman & Parks.  



and from their alternate reality reunion:

Funny to come across this sub-thread of Beach Boys disco mixes, I was going through songs Brian was involved in in the 70s looking for killer tags a few weeks back, and fell in love with this tag to Spring's Thinkin' Bout You Baby and looped it up.

So have any non-YouTube recordings of this show surfaced and circulated yet?

I also love the Vegetables - Ballad Insert.  One of those great Wall of Brian moments.

I'd really want to get it on one of those epic Shortenin' Bread jams.

I think Beach Boys fans are among the luckiest in the world when it comes to getting access to session recordings (one way or another), to the point that they can be hard to sort through.  I'd love to see some Top How Many Ever You Feel Like Picking list!

I love the Heroes & Villains Fade re-recording, love that music, love Carl singing over it, love the vibe of the session!

Couple thoughts that get me giddy with hope!

- Love You Backing Vocals Montage

- Just Once In My Life [A Capella Mix]

- Let's Put Our Heart Together [Backing Track]

Does anybody else just LOVE Barnshine? It used to be pretty meh to me, but the more I listen to it the more I love it and want to hear it over and over and over.

Yeah, I got pretty obsessed with the 2/28/67 remake last week.

A casino!? Well, I never ... 

When was the "Water Chant" first recorded? I've checked AGD's site and used the search function on here but I haven't found anything relevant.

October 29th, 1967 at Wally Heider according to the SMiLE Box sessionography.

Is there a list anywhere that shows which sections of the Good Vibrations single are from which session takes?
