3. Car Crazy Cutie (RunRun A-Doo RunRun, man this screams 60's!)
4. Little Deuce Coupe (Classic track, who doesn't like this?!)
5. Cherry, Cherry Coupe (Mike's bass vocals are awesome here!)
6. Spirit of America (Sang like only Brian could do it.)
7. Shut Down (When the verse comes in the lyrics and drums punch you in the face, I love it.)
8. Our Car Club (Man.. Mike and Brian's voice together around this time is unbeaten.)
9. 409 (Fun tune, I always have to groove to it)
10. No-Go Showboat (Love the chorus)
11. Custom Machine (Good melody kind of a throw away song)
12. A Young Man Is Gone (If it had the "Hearts.." lyrics then it would be definitely been higher up)

Well something like tinychat is still pretty relevant. I think it would be a good place to share BB related music and anecdotes.

Anyone know of a BB/BW chatroom?

Summer of Love!!
64  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Is Little Saint Nick underrated? Of course you silly elf! on: November 08, 2012, 05:26:14 AM
I freaking love this song! It must be so hard to write a Christmas classic but they did it! Another plus is that virtually all of your family knows it unlike if you played them ADITLOAT. I love a lot of their Christmas stuff.
65  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Rendezvous on: November 07, 2012, 07:31:56 PM
And Walk on By! That one floors me.
66  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Rendezvous on: November 07, 2012, 06:30:16 PM
This would of probably been one of my top BB records!
67  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: place for compiling any new information on a next BB album on: November 07, 2012, 03:19:21 PM
Walk on by would be such a great song for the new album!
68  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Brian Wilson made __________ cool on: November 04, 2012, 11:13:15 AM
Lmao! It's the real reason why Mike envies Brian.

whilst showing off your massive package on national television up to 1965. 
Did I miss some very funny video of Brian eating large amount of food on national television? Have you link for that?


"Package" has nothing to do with food!
Oh really? Now I feel like I'm in a very stupid position. What does this mysterious word mean, then, other than "food container"?

Male parts.

Wearing pants up to your tits whilst showing off your massive package on national television up to 1965. Oh, and bathrobes.

Great idea but it will never happen. It's like they want to forget about those albums completely.
71  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / General Music Discussion / Re: Pollin' The Beatles on: October 25, 2012, 09:57:18 AM
Magical mystery tour. I've always found myself coming back to this one. Say what you will about the movie but it's the beatles at the height of their psychedelic period, what more could you want? It's almost like their SMiLE.
72  Smiley Smile Stuff / 1960's Beach Boys Albums / Re: Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!) on: October 20, 2012, 08:51:25 PM
That's Bruce on falsetto!!!!

Aww yeah. My namesake. I like Pet Sounds, Today! and Sunflower more, but still, this is one of the very best Beach Boys albums. Not every track is great, but hell, you kind of expect that from the boys.

Best songs:
'Let Him Run Wild' is my #2 favorite Beach Boys song. It's spine-tingling beautiful. The arrangement is just outta sight. I don't know all that much about the technical side of music, but man, that...chord progression I think it is at the end of the chorus back into the verse (the way up and then meandering down horn lines before "guess you know I waited for you girl")is perfection, just amazing. The backing track on Stack O' Tracks is astounding. Soak it up.

'California Girls' survives over-exposure for me primarily because of the intro, which feels like a prologue/overture and the bitchin' BGVs.

'Help Me Rhonda' just rocks. Whaddya want?

'And Your Dream Comes True' is another fine example of the effortless talent Brian and the boys had for unspeakably brilliant harmonies. Like a lullaby to my birth season.

'Girl Don't Tell Me'...yeah, surfy, dopey 'Ticket To Ride' for beach bums, but I LOVE it. One of the very few BBs tracks of the era that actually features the members of the band playing instruments.

'Amusement Parks USA', though by no means a great song, I still kinda like for some reason. Maybe it's because I love old, classic amusement parks and loathe crowded, expensive and lifeless theme parks. The lyrics now stand, more than 45 years on, as fond tributes to some defunct parks such as Pacific Ocean Park, Euclid Beach and the great Palisades Park.

'The Girl From New York City' is bad-assss. I love Brian's falsetto wailin'.

'Salt Lake City' is really only notable to me for that amazing backing track. Lovely, vibrant stuff.

'You're So Good To Me' has a great beat and Brian's vocals are tough and groovy. Love it.

Don't much like 'I'm Bugged at My Ol' Man' and their cover of 'Then I Kissed Her' is eh okay.

Overall, fantastic record, full of the warmth of the sun n' fun n' awf'ly purty Brian Wilson production and melodies. The two-fer CD that contains this album and Today! is, along with Pet Sounds and the new SMiLE sessions box, the best thing the BBs camp ever released.

BB85!
74  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Reunion awards on: September 30, 2012, 10:38:11 AM
Best scowl: Brian at Jazzfest
Best song not played: Surfs Up
Best tease: Al playing an excerpt of "Come and Go With Me"
Most powerful song live: "Summer's Gone"
Worst mistake: Not letting Blondie do SOS at least once.
Best mistake: Bruce's shorts
75  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Another UK Appearance - Later On Jools Holland BBC TV on: September 26, 2012, 10:36:43 AM
Dudes, the Brian piano solo was AMAZING!
I think AMAZING might be going a bit overboard. My cat can play similarly just walking across my piano keys. 

It's not strictly about his playing but the fact it was Brian Wilson doing the solo live on television. How often does this happen? With all the people complaining about his keyboard and microphone not being loud enough, this was a breath of fresh air. The MAN himself actually jamming was amazing it's not like he's ever been Keith Emerson.
