Does anyone have a video of Mike Love's daughter singing Sail On Sailor? Would like to see that. How did she do, for anyone who was at the show?
I've seen her do that live, she sang it in Sweden two years ago if I remember things correctly.

Why not let her sing Rollin' Up to Heaven live?   Cheesy

"Isn't It Time" was done at the soundcheck at the Chula Vista show.  Maybe it's the 2nd single?
Isn't it time they release it as single?

Let's start a poll and find out who people think wears the shirt better.

Make sure there is a "none of the above" option.


Let's start a Shirts that hurt thread!

Does this mean I have to buy somebody's book? (Just joking.)
Yes, Bookbara. (Just joking.)

2. Am I the only one who is slightly unnerved by the line "Why don't you love her like her big brother" in Don't Hurt My Little Sister? Maybe I've been watching too much Game of Thrones.
I've thought about that too! Smiley

Here is my question:

I am the only one who loves The Beach Boys rendition of The Battle Hymn of the Republic? I think it's super!

From There to Back Again is growing and growing.

It was orignally written during the Mount Vernon and Fairway sessions and called Fom There to Bach Again, there was nothing but Bach on the radio back then.

Some critics dismissed "The Private Life..." as a tropical throwaway, missing the point entirely. The instrumentation used on that track is perfect for the composition. It is not shoehorned in there arbitrarily, swamped with small lizards and tiny umbrellas, like "Island Fever." It fits the song perfectly.
I like tPLoBaS.

At first I thought it said 130 dollars. Smiley

So, are people calling records "vinyls" now? Is this a thing? And if so, is it too late to stop them?


Yeah, it's something I noticed on this board, and at first I thought it was from non-english speakers, but now I think maybe it's from folks who somehow grew up without records. I also hear it at the re-sale shop I work at, but from 50and60-somethings. Very confusing...
Here are two vinyls: http://www.cdvinyl.de/cdpic/00CV/others/lp-rest_28.jpg

Everyone's in love with you, SurferGirl7. Though you can't fall in love only one...  Razz

That is at least what it seems like after reading this thread.  Wink

9. For once in m life  - Carl and Brian sound out of it,  but it works for me.  Love singing this at the top of my lungs.
It's called Just Once in My Life. Smiley

(Thank Him For) Our Love - "Marvelled at this feeling we share". Aaah.

You're Still a Mystery - Enchanting.

Back Home (Sunflower version) - Better than the released version.

It became clear to me tonight. After a bottle of wine. And after listeing to Shelter. It dawned on me. I feel one thing when listening to the new album in all its imperfection - pure love. I've never loved The Beach Boys this much, it feels they are doing is this album for us, not for themselves. They wanted us to have one last gift, one final lingering memory of things that were. After aeons of hardships they got together and put their differences aside to give us something to make us happier than we were before.

It is not a perfect album, but then again we are not perfect. No-one is perfect. Life is not perfect. This album evokes thoughts of things that could have been, but never came to pass.

I will be forever thankful for that.

Who gives a flying oatmeal f*ck if someone disagrees with someone? We're Beach Boys fans...disagreeing is what we do! All I'm asking is that people RESPECT EACH OTHERS OPINIONS . Is that too much to ask?!
I can not be a part of a forum where there is a lack of respect. And I don't respect you other guys.

According to amazon.jp the bonus track on the japanese edition is Revival of Love (2012 Version) - do I read japanese? No. Google translate usually does.
It's most likely Do It Again.
1368  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: New album info (as it rolls out...) on: May 15, 2012, 12:14:11 PM
Yes. Plus I've heard the full version of Think About the Days God Made Spring Vacation.

is that an extended remix?  Grin
Yes, it is remixed by John Stamos, Murry Wilson, Eugene Landy and Melinda Wilson.
1369  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: New album info (as it rolls out...) on: May 15, 2012, 12:11:43 PM
I know you have all been waiting. Here is my verdict:

1. Think About The Days - 9/10 (could have been written by Benny Andersson)
2. That's Why God Made The Radio - 5/10 (too pedestrian)
3. Isn't It Time - 4/10 (bland)
4. Spring Vacation - 6/10 (great verses, lousy chorus)
5. The Private Life Of Bill And Sue - 8/10 (I am a sucker for this song)
6. Shelter - 7/10 (shows some promise, the chorus is similar to Darlin')
7. Daybreak Over The Ocean - 8/10 (I liked this one on the Mike Love, Not War album)
8. Beaches In Mind - 3/10 (I've got 3/10 in mind)
9. Strange World - 3/10 (Not my cup of milk)
10. From There To Back Again - 6/10 (introspective looking back type of lyrics)
11. Pacific Coast Highway - 7/10 (introspective looking back type of lyrics again)
12. Summer's Gone - 8/10 (introspective looking back type of lyrics again again)
What do you know that the rest of us don't? Are you rating based on the clips at Amazon?
Yes. Plus I've heard the full version of Think About the Days God Made Spring Vacation.

Oh. Thought you'd heard the whole thing, seems a little strange to give ratings to songs you haven't properly heard yet.
You can rate what you've heard.

Spring Vacation reminds me of Do you have any regrets.

Am I right or wrong?
I don't hear it.
I do.

(I just had to. Smiley)

1374  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / Smiley Smilers Who Make Music / Re: I Hear Whispers From Below - Original Song/Work in Progress on: May 12, 2012, 05:42:12 AM
Thanks everybody for your feedback. Last weekend I recorded new vocals using a better microphone, I hope my vocals came out alright. The best thing is I persuaded a girl I know to do some of the vocals, she is a real singer and this will make the song much better. I'll see her in a few weeks.

Do you think the lyrics are good enough? English is not my first language so it is kinda hard for me to tell.
1375  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Mike Love has his own webpage on: May 12, 2012, 01:49:07 AM
Mike Love now has his own webpage: http://mikelove.com/. Looks almost like the new Beach Boys website. Why I don't know. Why? I don't know.
