26  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / General Music Discussion / Re: The Beatles Survivor #7: Revolver FINAL ROUND on: May 07, 2017, 12:22:59 PM
.Survivor #8 is going to be DOUBLE the amount of fun!

Hope so.  Thanks for putting up with all the squabbling, pixletwin.

Two of my very favorites didn't make the cuts,  "And Your Bird Can Sing" and "I'm Only Sleeping".

I'm not that big a fan of "Eleanor Rigby" - loved the extended version Paul did in the movie, tho.

I love "Taxman"  and won't mind if George wins one.

I am going to vote for "Here There and Everywhere" - one of his very best songs.

Confusion works, sometimes.

His dot post was voting 2nd time, now with "Here There & Everywhere". He somehow took it to mean that pixletwin arranged separate round, to choose between the 2. I explained to him it's still the same round. & showed him his earlier choice.
Watamushi, did I say it right?
Right.

This is what is right.  Cotton Insect (Watamushi) tried to change his vote.  Did it in a way to the best of his abilities.  Then was told he could not according to some rule I've never heard of, and I've been playing this game for over three years.

When is a game not a game?  When all the rules are set by only one person.  Makes it more a "Rank the Tracks" deal, per individual.  That can be done elsewhere.

Watamushi, As far as I know, you can change your original vote to "Here There and Everywhere" - which should be the deciding vote for this round.

Pixletwin,  I've already got caught up in the controlling factor of this game once.  Rather not see it in every round.  I would request you clarify the right to change a vote to Watamushi.

I rediscovered this fantastic cut while repairing a topic at my other board.

From 1967, these are Gabor Szabo and The California Dreamers with "Are You There?":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miGRscAc3tw

Where is that posted?  Groovy Songs from the Sixties?  I want to add it to the Sunshine Pop thread at PSF.  I know the artist, but have never heard the album.  Got to check more of Szabo's music.

Aw man... As a testament to what a great album Revolver is we have another tie.

Here has 7 and Sleeping has 7.

First new vote cast one way or the other will decide the round.

VOTE!!! VOTE!!! VOTE!!!
 3D

Pix,  Maybe you should explain that a vote made can be changed.  A changed vote can break the tie, right?

I know from previous games, some people aren't playing a game, as much as demanding their choice wins at all costs.

cotton insect,  Has it been made clear to you that you can change your vote?  I don't understand your .(dot) post.

"Here There and Everywhere"
33  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / General Music Discussion / Re: The Beatles Survivor #7: Revolver on: May 02, 2017, 03:15:05 PM
I have three favorites.  They are by John, George and Paul.  Ms. Rigby ain't in the bunch.  Looks like I may not get my way
without some serious help from the voters.

As much as I love it, I vote for "Tomorrow Never Knows" - a masterpiece for sure, but I see no way
to save it.  The big snore is my favorite, anyway.

Now, will John make it into the final?  Only tomorrow will know.  Don't treat John the way Capitol did.
34  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Wild Honey LP Reissue in STEREO - 2017 on: April 29, 2017, 06:32:32 AM
Thank you for the answers, HeyJ., KidP. and Rocker.  I've got my cash waiting for Wild Honey with film or not.

My biggest wish is "On Blu-ray" audio.  A set of live songs would also be nice.
35  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / General Music Discussion / Re: The Beatles Survivor #7: Revolver on: April 29, 2017, 06:15:11 AM
"For No One"
I'll skip the long explanation.
36  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / General Music Discussion / Re: Understated instrumental breaks on: April 26, 2017, 11:07:07 PM
I'll sneak this in here, rather than start yet another new topic.

In the "Johnny Carson" poll thingie I posted three additional examples of songs with a lone cymbal smash at an unexpected moment. I've since been reminded of one more:

The list so far (all original studio versions):

"Johnny Carson"----The Beach Boys
"Mouldy Old Dough"----Lieutenant Pigeon 
"Don't Stop"----Fleetwood Mac
"The Spotlight Kid"----Captain Beefheart
"Wutherin' Heights"----Kate Bush

There could well be others----it's a stupendous effect.
   

John.  You notice everything.  I'll have to check that.  Interesting.
37  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Wild Honey LP Reissue in STEREO - 2017 on: April 26, 2017, 01:47:52 PM
Wonder what the reference to film means.
38  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / General Music Discussion / Re: The Beatles Survivor #7: Revolver on: April 25, 2017, 10:36:33 PM
Too tough from here on out.  I threw a dart at the list.  Couldn't go with that pick,
love it too much.

Put the titles on a spin card.  Landed on "For No One"  Color me blue.
39  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / General Music Discussion / Re: The Beatles Survivor #7: Revolver on: April 25, 2017, 10:29:03 PM
I'm Only Sleeping is top 3 for me!

Good thinking.  Me too.
40  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / General Music Discussion / Re: Understated instrumental breaks on: April 22, 2017, 10:39:18 AM
I like all of those.  Been listening to a lot of music this morning, some with those short breaks.
Badfinger was good at it.

"I Can't Take It":  https://youtu.be/8sCaVeJGB78

This has slide scattered all through it, "Suitcase":  https://youtu.be/x0IEzGTsKR8

41  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Do you play Beach Boys albums when there are visitors? on: April 22, 2017, 09:46:57 AM
Usually I've just got the current year's releases going on shuffle when people are over ... at least to begin with. As we get drunker, things usually get into rabbit holes of specific requests, interrupted requests, and interruptions of interruptions. It's in that territory where Beach Boys or BW inevitably come up. My friends have mostly come to humor me on that. In turn, I try not to force it, at least not too much or too early.
You are just too kind.  If you come to my house you can expect a full dose of Beach Boys and Brian.  For over a year after No Pier Pressure came out, that would be my first pick of the night.
If they didn't like that, they could piss-off out of the music room, plenty of seats in the Tv room. 15 Big Ones/Love You two-fer Cd, Imagination - especially the DVD, Orange Crate Art, my pick is
my pick.  Nothing to do with forcing it or not.  I take the Beach Boys with me to their houses, too.  On fourth of July, I'm going to hear Beach Boys In Concert - it's a tradition, home or away.

To quote the Sheriff at PSF: "'Surf's Up' vs. 'A Day In The Life' would be a very interesting poll on a Beatles' forum."

It would be more surreal (and quite frankly more fun) to compare "ADITL" with "ADITLOAT". LOL
Noted. I'll do that next on PSF Grin

Eek! Just when my cred at Smiley seems to be on the rise, down it plummets at PSF. Such is life...

http://petsoundsforum.com/thread/1401/bots-31-day-life-tree?

Still, it's alway heartwarming to get a namecheck there :=) 

Oh my, worse than I thought it would be.  Beatles=18, Beach Boys=3

Maybe Watamushi shouldn't do that again.  No telling what might happen.
43  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / General Music Discussion / Re: The Beatles Survivor #7: Revolver on: April 22, 2017, 08:58:48 AM
i'm only sleeping?Huh really arhhhhh!   Shocked

Be careful, Rick!  I love that song, too.  Don't want pix to think your complaint is a vote.

Then again, I'll say it too.   How Could somebody vote that song off?  Capitol did the same
thing taking it off the Revolver album in America.

"Got To Get You Into My Life"

Cool website! Thanks, Rocker. Do you know who the guy in the shades is in the pic with Jerry Lee and Ray Charles?   

Paul Shaffer.  Without shades to the left, from the same session.


Right! This comes from a special somehow related to SNL. It's available on DVD and really good, although a little short imo

Here's a snippet from the ending round when all three of them performed together:

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xc62vt_ray-charles-jerry-lee-lewis-fats-do_music

I've seen that show, Rocker!  Recorded/filmed for Cinemax Sessions (an American cable channel first aired it 25 July 1986) at Storyville Jazz Hall Nightclub, New Orleans on 5 June 1986.  There was a Vhs in 1987 (good luck finding that) and a DVD by Time Life (2007), called Fats & Friends.

In Germany (is this the one you have?) as Rockin' Pianos (High Planet Entertainment 2004), and a vinyl release on Exclusive Records DLC in 1987.  Don't remember ever seeing a vinyl release in America.

The band:  Fats, Ray, Jerry Lee, Paul w/ Steve Jordan on drums, Harold Cowart on bass, Ron Wood and Roy Gaines on guitars, and Sugar Blue on harp.

I tried to find a clip on youtube, but everyone I found was from the DVD extras, mostly interview junk.  Check your youtube for what might be available in your country.
46  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Suicide playlist on: April 20, 2017, 07:10:39 AM
I don't relate any of those songs with death.

This thread should be removed.  Shouldn't be left to exist for more than ten minutes.
47  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / General Music Discussion / Re: The Beatles Survivor #7: Revolver on: April 20, 2017, 06:54:36 AM
Thanks, Watamushi.  I needed that.  Now if we can get pixletwin in here right quick with that tally, it'll be gone, and I can go out for the night.
48  Non Smiley Smile Stuff / General Music Discussion / Re: Fats Domino - official website on: April 20, 2017, 06:51:40 AM
Shaffer highlights:  SNL, from 1975 thru 1980.  Gilda Radner and The Blues Brothers 1980 thru ? - 'til Belushi fired him for working for Gilda.
Letterman, 1982 thru 2015.

Of Letterman fame. Okay----thanks, Will. :=)

And Saturday Night Live before that.

Back to the music:

Just think, the man will be 90 next year. Fats's producer and co-writer Dave Bartholomew is 98! 

http://www.ihopeidiebeforeigetold.com/oldest-living-rock-stars.php

My far and away favorite on that list is 88.  Did he have a piano cake for his 88th.  Did they even let him eat any cake for his birthday?
