Spring Vacation, with the inevitable rhyme of vibration and vacation. Have heard more of the song, though not all of it. What a load of sh*t.

"Trust me when I say there seem to be more wacos around here as of late there there are on the Manson blogs."

I'm with you, Rocky.

"I frequent several Manson boards"

Do we have to worry about you, dad?

"The surface of the true story of Manson, the BB and the LA music/movie scene hasn't even been scratched."

Feel free to scratch away, AGD.  What do we know? 

Is it right that the Beach Boys who recorded Charlie were Brian and Carl, not Dennis. Right?

I think Bruce wrote this song with Mike Love http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtDGXpfIoz8&feature=related

Great song. Bruce's best apart from Disney Girls???

Keep us updated.  I'm curious as to which version you'll get!!

f*** no!

Nicky Minge is worse by far.

Guitar-centric Britpop was a reacton against dance music, what's laughingly called r'n'b these days and rap too.

Oasis or John Hiatt?  Hiatt every time.

Pity you can't choose your parents.

It's not that bad a song, but it carries the Manilow and Cassidy baggage

Where's the incidental music from Laurel and Hardy?

"Bob Dylan's audience wants reality, and they get it."

I've been to great Dylan shows in the last few years where he's really up for it and actually sings; I've been to others where the band caries him and he displays no interest whatsoever, almost Brian-like.  The bulk of the audience don't seem to care,  It's Bob Dylan and he's singing THOSE songs that are part of our cultural heritage.  As for his recent recorded stuff... I can take or leave the faux-Crosby crooning; mostly I can leave the endless chugging bar room boogie stuff. Leave that to J. J. Cale (and I'll leave that too). As for all the fuus about him lifting other people's lyrics, other people's prose for his 'autobiography' and other people's artwork... Hey, he's post-modern.  Always has been. But reality? No.  It's Dylan's current reinvention  of himself.

I fucking hate Queen.  Love Elliott Smith, though

You on your meds today, Ian?

The Daily Mail is an old Nazi newspaper.

"He's a creationist.

Oh hang on, I think that one's true."

Really?  Jesus... Dumb bastard.

Thank God he shaved...

"this doesn't seem too bad of a story."

Not good either, but if the show's sh*t because they don't regearse properly, what do you say?  You blame Foskett anyhow, I guess. Doesn't AGD say BW doesn't do anything he doesn't want to?  He could always fire Foskett

There's an interview with Neil Young somewhere or other in which he states that an awful lot of movie/music/TV types flocked to Manson initially, then denied all knowledge when the sh*t hit the fan.

Wha?  Did you get a copy of Hitler's Greatest Hits for Christmas?
97  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: What is their strongest post-Pet Sounds album? (1967-1977) on: December 26, 2011, 04:15:25 AM
Another vote for Surf's Up,  but it depends on the day.  I could listen to Wild Honey until the cows come home.  Only CATP and 15 BO come up short, particularly the latter thanks to its schizophrenic approach - I would've preferred an album of oldies to the half-assed mess we got.
98  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Noel Gallagher & The Beach Boys on: November 30, 2011, 01:38:01 AM
"He's a well-past-his-prime nutjob.  He has his surf song (which surely owes a lot to Chuck Berry); his Beatley-arty song; his car song, with various none too subtle variations of all.  His new album's a stinker.  Never understood why he/they have an audience in the US except that a lot of fools who still get hard-ons when they hear the words "genius" will buy any old sh*t that makes California references instead of shelling out for more talented artists.  He still gets an enormous amount of press coverage simply for being crazy, he and his bandmates suing each other into oblivion, and ceaselessly playing the nostalgia card."

When (more likely if) Gallagher has a decent body of work, maybe we can discuss this. If you think so little of Brian and the Beach Boys, why post here? Why not stare at your Noel poster and give your typing hand something better to do?
99  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: When in their career, if ever, do you stop listening to the beach boys? on: November 29, 2011, 12:12:17 PM
There's something about the weaker tracks on LA (Goin' South. Sumahama, Lady Lynda, Shortenin' Bread - okay, not Here Comes The Night!) that I like.  I don't get that with the later albums or MIU.

He's a dick.  He has his fast song (which surely owes a lot to Slade); his Beatley-arty song; his dirge-like ballad, with various none too subtle variations of all.  His new album's a stinker.  Never understood why they have an audience in the US except that a lot of fools who still get hard-ons when they hear the words "British Invasion" will buy any old sh*t that makes Beatles references instead of shelling out for more talented artists.  As for the UK, the brothers still get an enormous amount of press coverage simply for bad mouthing other bands or each other. They're not the only ones.  Girl groups do it and 50 odd year-old Paul Weller's word is taken as gospel when he refers to other artists as "wankers" while promoting his latest round of Steve Winwood knock-offs.  All the wit of Oscar fucking Wilde. To some people, especially some in the media, that is rock and roll.
