I played it in concerts with college orchestra.

Whoever shook tambourine, isn't it, like, a very simple instrument? You jus' keep the beat in line with the rhythm section where necessary.

I'm reading new edition of comics "Calvin & Hobbes". It supersedes "Garfield" in my eyes.

I didn't watch it. I'm up for watching silly movies with corny jokes & even find them entertaining. Depends on the story & score/soundtrack. "Norbit" seems bad by my standards.

Did Blondie cancel the Q&A, by chance? What he says?
4431  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Brianisms Appreciation Thread on: July 27, 2015, 06:46:32 AM
Understood - however, admit that "Norbit" isn't serious Oscar-worthy film. It's a trash.
4432  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Brianisms Appreciation Thread on: July 27, 2015, 06:24:20 AM
Well Brian DID like silly "B" movie "Norbit". I mean the casting might be top class but the movie itself isn't high art.
Never watched "Sharknado". Will take it for note.

This is the best & timeless:

Q. What is your favorite movie?
Brian: The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock because it had a sense of humor. Some guys car blew up and he got killed and it made me laugh for some reason running from the birds.

Another common thing we share! I too find most horrors funny - the way they die, fight, chasing scenes (cue Freddy Krueger with hilarious "village boy" sweater running like a moron with funny growling). I'm glad Brian said it like it is. There's nothing bad, after all, it's just a film as in fake death - I was told that since childhood, just as I was that Father Frost doesn't exist. We need to watch film like a film, not to get into it too much. I often imagined film shooting as this - the director cuts the final scene - "Stop camera!" - & everyone just relax & go to banquet to see the result. No doubt they laughed during killing 'n' stuff. Brian is mighty cool. 3D

I was watching The Exorcist with a friend who hadn't seen it the other day, and when Pazuzu (sp?) the demon possessing Linda Blair spews his profanities, I laughed out loud.
Not just that, his doll face is very funny. It's kind of a black comedy. There are some jumpy moments but nothing too extreme. I can see why the genre qualified as "horror", tho.

"What are you reading?" The Graveyard School series, author: Tom B. Stone. Current favorite - "Abominable Snow Monster". Back in school, I used to read horror fiction, going to library to pick what's available at once so nobody else gets to read them (rest assured, lotta teens liked scary tales). Wouldn't give them back for very long. That's me. Anyway, was nice to now find the whole series online. Maybe someday I'll download it. Just in case.

I reckon hearing "Blue Moon" in instrumental form is only best way. The Ventures' version wasn't crash'n'burn. It's great! Big fan of optimism here. 3D
4436  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / General Music Discussion / Re: how can a video get posted in the wrong hand? on: July 16, 2015, 07:49:11 AM
Afaik, it's done to avoid the video being taken down by the company that owns rights for it. So uploaders post certain vine or vid turning it backwards.
4437  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Bruce and the Murder on: July 16, 2015, 04:38:29 AM
I seem to have a rival in the arrogance and condescension department.  Cheesy
Maybe take off the blinkers & read my post again? What I said was fair, polite & raised many good points. Can't deny it, anyone who has decent reading skills.
I explained to SurferDownUnder mentioning that this question should instead be posted in the Thread for insignificant questions or continued in an old thread on the same subject. What's so difficult to follow this advice, really? It's a common thing here, another recent example is "Carl's grave". Or "Keep It Clean with Al Jardine T-shirt" one.

So take my advice, SurferDownUnder.
I was really surprised to read these weird strong reactions to my post. Like I said sth. really offensive? Funny folk.
4438  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Bruce and the Murder on: July 13, 2015, 06:09:47 AM
Essentially, posting is everyone's business, so I was and did mind my own business.
I said that to return the favor, hence the (c).

SurferDownUnder, you made this thread to know if Bruce commented on the story. It's a mere question that requires a single answer. Looking at your account info, you signed up this year but have already posted on the Thread for insignificant questions. The original post belongs there. If you wanted to know more - for that reason this board has enormous archive that you can go read anytime. Look at the link I brought - it's basically the same answers. Nothing new. It isn't against the rules to revive an old thread. Recent examples:

- BB/BW music in movies
- BB Historical sites
- Carolyn Williams.

Each garnered few new responses. Reasons to post on an old thread are to add sth. new, ask about some quote if it's true/happened for real, to clarify some statement, just agree with smb. or start discussion. That's what search function is for. That, & learn more about the band. Most everyone here started as a lurker - as we couldn't contribute, we read on. Some of us still do. What I'm getting at is it would suffice to read an old thread on the subject you've been curious about instead of starting new one. There is a stickied thread in the Sandbox where we spoke of this - reviving vs. new thread & most people agreed that the former is better. And you have to understand that with all these new threads, the other ones go several pages back. "May" is relatively recent, yet it's gone far back. Some posters can't cope with the threads coming up on a near-daily basis.

Finally, don't feel like you're not welcome. This is usual thing on the board. We're just helping newbies. Pretty Funky, John Manning, guitarfool2002 etc. - all linked to an already existing thread before. Moderators can't check everything, anyone can give advice to a fellow poster.

Should I ask your permission what I should say? Mind your own business (c).
4440  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / General Music Discussion / Re: Rolling Beach Boys covers thread on: July 12, 2015, 09:52:57 AM
Nice new adds. Here's another I've forgotten & found thru user Lowbacca search word "Bryan"

Bryan Adams - Tracks Of My Years



It is what it is, not more: Bryan Adams covering some of his favourites in an unsurprising manner. It's enjoyable all the way through, though. Includes a cover of "God Only Knows".

2 wns: what is "eta"??
4441  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Bruce and the Murder on: July 12, 2015, 08:42:09 AM
How 'bout searching 1st before making another topic? All you do is just type "Bruce murder": http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,5260.0.html

Altho, this should of been posed in the Thread for insignificant questions (and many latest threads).
4442  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / General Music Discussion / Re: Cover songs better than their original on: July 11, 2015, 10:09:06 AM
Ananda Shankar, courtesy of Ravi Shankar, covered Jumpin' Jack Flash. Upfront: guitar triplets, sitar added & sound fx. Note the 1st "Jumpin Jack Flash..." is recreated by sitar, then multitrack backing takes its place as it should. I say "multitrack" because it's less expensive to record voices alone than hire a choir to help build the chant (is that a word for this?).
4443  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / General Music Discussion / Re: Five Songs by Brian Wilson Wannabes on: July 11, 2015, 08:40:06 AM
Again, from the movie "Christmas in Wonderland" (had to check the "Soundtracks" page on IMDB to find the right title).

Billy Martin - California Christmas. It must be on iTunes, if it's not removed but it's very "BBs". Little Saint Nick meets Pet Sounds with a dash of "Bruce" vocs. "Merry christmas Saint Nick (Christmas comes this time each year)"="California Christmas time is here (Jingle bells ring this time of year)".
   Very good for a wannabe. In fact my new favorite. Check it out somehow.

Found: http://fastmp3.eu/billy-martin-california-christmas-11366118.htm

Preview is for Russia & Ukraine but download should work fine.
4444  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / General Music Discussion / Re: Sunshine songs on: July 11, 2015, 08:04:40 AM
A very boring story here, but...I saw Katrina & The Waves open for The Beach Boys in 1986 at the Allentown Fair in Pennsylvania. "Walking On Sunshine" was the only song I recognized, but it did rock! As a side note, The Beach Boys played "Rock & Roll To The Rescue" that night...
Not boring the least bit - *I* never went to a show! To hear an opening act outbeat your favorite band, tho - not good.
4445  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / General Music Discussion / Re: Sunshine songs on: July 11, 2015, 06:36:09 AM
Last week I dug up some Christmas stuff on DVD. Some very obscure, like "Christmas in Wonderland". It's about 3 kids & father moving to Canada from L.A. they went shopping to the biggest mall in Edmonton & found million bucks (fake). A bit trash but it had GREAT songs! My favorite got to be Katrina & the Waves' "Walking on Sunshine": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIoWtw6jc-I
Never once heard it before. Not bad for an 80s song.
