John, I only have the single CD of TSS. Thanks for the correction.

And indeed, OCA has some wondrous walls of (latter-day) Brians.

Big big fan of the walls of Brian. Hand on my Shoulder… got that one?

I don't have it but I'd heard it on YouTube before it became unavailable. maybe just in my country...

But thankfully, for me and others in the same position, it's also here:

https://www.relix.com/blogs/detail/song_premiere_anton_fig_hand_on_my_shoulder_featuring_brian_wilson_and_blondie_chaplin

Sheer heaven! (For some reason I'm reminded of "Like A Brother".)

Anyway, thanks for reminding me. :=)

I noticed the phrase "wall of Brians" in a recent post and found this old topic.

Surely "You're Welcome" qualifies, as the first example of a WoB? (I didn't see it mentioned.)

Whatever... it's a fascinating area of Beach Boy Land, to be sure.

You've seen him? Wow.

Into the Purple Valley is a lovely album. And of course Cooder the slide guitarist was there at a seminal moment in pop history:

Mike & Bruce performed To Sir[e] With Love WITH LULU(!), 2008

Now it's official: The official SMiLE-tanka'drome tour-de-force is absolutely perfect in ALL departments - albeit 'convoluted/enveloped in places. No questions asked!

They didn't perform it in Ullapool, by any chance?!

Thank you, Rasmus, for tidying up these loose ends. (Happily, swollen-headedness is not an issue in cyberspace.)
5282  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / The Sandbox / Re: Where are you from? on: February 29, 2016, 02:46:37 AM
^EX-PAT^??
Myself? Danish all the way, from Copenhagen, currently living in Good (C)old Blighty (Sussex).

Yes, expat (OK, no hyphen).

I spent my earliest years in Findon, Sussex (in a haunted house!) and have spent many holidays there since. A lovely part of the world...   
5283  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / The Sandbox / Re: Where are you from? on: February 29, 2016, 02:31:34 AM
This British ex-pat lives in the Netherlands.
5284  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / The Sandbox / Re: Cats on: February 29, 2016, 02:14:24 AM
Btw, john, where is your signature from?
Meanwhile, enjoy pictures, all!

I'm most flattered, RR. Yes, you should definitely consider exhibiting. It would make a refreshing change from the usual yawn-inducing gunk you get at local art shows.

My signature? The big chunk of Tony Asher's "GV" used to be Mikie's signature. The bold line above it is a Beach Boys palindrome of my own making, arguably my best. Mind you, I have an excellent tutor, a Mr Skotte from Copenhagen. :=)

What if Brian was deaf in his left leg? Or worse, my left leg?

 LOL LOL LOL

This was too good not to quote on my other board.

CenturyDeprived's initial post in this topic is very cool too.
5286  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Beach Boys tribute tees on: February 28, 2016, 01:55:46 PM
Brian
Carl
Dennis
Al

No real need for myKe's name whatsoever and no one would miss it either.

Man, you are one major pain in the arse.
5287  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: What if Brian was deaf in his other ear? on: February 28, 2016, 04:31:37 AM
For some reason, Andrew's is the only "What if...? topic I've ever actually laughed at. For some reason.
5288  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Track Talk: Lady Lynda/Liberty on: February 27, 2016, 04:35:42 AM
the song is patriotic and not about some ones ex lover

I should be doing other things but I keep coming back to these words, not sure why.

Ah yes, the magic *stars*----what needless headaches they prevent! And what fun to fill in mentally...

Have a good weekend, Rasmus, everyone. 
5290  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: What if Brian was deaf in his other ear? on: February 27, 2016, 03:17:09 AM
It's trolling now to start a jokey thread?

I agree Emily.  A little humor on this board is most welcome.  

This isn't humor. It's pointless. If Brian were deaf in his other ear, he's still have 50% hearing, and nothing would have changed. Bit like asking, what if the sky were blue.

It's a joke, Jesus. A parody of those pointless topics, taken to the extreme.

Can't speak for anyone else but in my cosmos, jokes are supposed to be funny.

In a just world, all "What if...?" topics, even "parodies", would be relegated to a remote corner of this board.

A bit like the "Rank the Tracks" topics----only even more remote.  Grin
5291  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / General Music Discussion / Re: Songs you are obsessing over. on: February 26, 2016, 03:29:06 PM
"This Must Be the Place (Naïve Melody)" by Iron and Wine and Ben Bridwell, Sam on lead vocal.  I was never much of a Talking Heads fan, and like many tracks on Sing Into My Mouth, had never heard by the original artist.  Still obsessed would be a better way to say it.  This is one of the songs that helped get me through a very rough patch I've been going through this year.  Home is where I want to be, indeed.

Sorry to hear things have been rough, Will. Thank goodness for songs!

Since posting this, I've linked SIMM on my other board and it's an absolute gem! I'm a complete sucker for laid-back pedal steel, which helps.

I don't think I'm familiar with any of the originals. Thank you. :=)

Can anyone see what the music's called? I tried blowing it up but still couldn't read it...
5293  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / General Music Discussion / Re: Groups / Artists You're Ashamed to Have Like on: February 26, 2016, 03:11:25 PM
I like a few Queen songs. Does that count?

No.

^^Everyone should really appreciate and name-check all the SMiLE-related titles and persons mentioned in john k's ^^
SMiLE TANKA'DROME TRIPTYCH above (though not always Hi-li'ted!). So here comes a key:

AL,CARL, BRIAN
"LOOK", "WONDERFUL" & ["Love To Say:] DADA"
From Verse 2 (an 'Elements Suite'):
FIRE + flame
"AIR"
Earth (parsnips pots + top)
WATER (Fire-VESSEL + DADA, Water & gas + "now, now" from Cool Cool Water ...

Finally: TANDYN (Almer from 'The Associaltion')
Toner ("TONES"), SMiLEr, ["Do You Like:] WORMS" & "I ---- RAN"
["Loop de] LOOP" (Al's own SMiLE-like ordeal!)
FRED (Vail: the Beach Boys-manager back then)
And the great SMiLE-quote: "KEENI WAKA PULA"
And don't forget to read the whole thing BACKWARDS, just once ...

Wow. Thank you, Rasmus----and for your kind words!

Perhaps I should add that Tandyn Almer is credited with co-authoring "Sail On, Sailor".

And that Blondie and Ricky get an oblique mention as "flame"...   
5295  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Mike Interview - Broward Palm Beach New Times 2/25/16 on: February 26, 2016, 01:47:11 AM
Ah a new interview.

I'd like to invoke gripes 3, 76, 32(a) and 45(a, ii)…

 LOL
5296  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / The Sandbox / Re: BEACHB-oysters' (sand-corny) POETRY PEARLS - YULEtide-edit... on: February 25, 2016, 02:32:21 PM
Rasmus, this is what I have right now, with various jk stylistic traits reinstated. You're most welcome to reassemble it à la rs. :=)

1.
Al, up----a.k.a... win!
Eek! Look slow on wonderful
Ullapool decal art.
Lunar dadaism row mars
L.A. prelims. All racks...

2.         
...are not a saga, sire. Tawny
DNA, the less ever I flame.
Parsnips pot an air by Brian.
A top spins. Rap 'em, Al!
Fire vessel, eh, Tandyn?

3.
Water is a gas, a toner. Ask Carl.
L.A. smiler pals ram worms.
I, a dad, ran ultra-laced.
Loop Al, Lulu. Fred: "Now, now...
ol' skool." (Keeni waka pula.)

5297  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / The Sandbox / Re: BEACHB-oysters' (sand-corny) POETRY PEARLS - YULEtide-edit... on: February 25, 2016, 12:37:04 PM
Wait, now I see: The new elemental verse would have to be the middle verse, Not to interfere with the tankas already completed. I don't know if that's possible ...[Please remember that "I RAN" is also sort of a SMiLE-related title!]

That does complicate matters, but you're quite right----it's the only way.

I see your tankas stretch the rules somewhat----I assume it's deliberate?

1) 6-7-6-8-7
2) -----------
3) 6-7-5-7-8

If so, it gives us a little leeway with that new second verse rhythm-wise.

I have some ideas.

 
5298  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / The Sandbox / Re: BEACHB-oysters' (sand-corny) POETRY PEARLS - YULEtide-edit... on: February 25, 2016, 07:08:51 AM
A third verse!? Just when I thought I could stop tying my brain in knots and get back to doing the thing I'm paid to do, lol.

I suspect you'll get it done first, but I shall certainly put my mind to it...
5299  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / The Sandbox / Re: BEACHB-oysters' (sand-corny) POETRY PEARLS - YULEtide-edit... on: February 25, 2016, 04:44:29 AM
[Fred Vail (for some reason nicknamed ' 'Lulu'(?)]:

 LOL

Wow! A double tanka of my simple palindrome----I am truly humbled. :=)
