Stebbins and I discussed the wedding a while ago, it's hilarious because Dennis and Karen fought the whole time and during such a "peaceful" ceremony. I was curious if Brian showed up, and he wasn't sure: his lack of prescense in the pcitures seemes to indicate the prognosis as negative.

God

...is a concept by which we measure our pain. But then again Lennon might not have been thinking of the Mayo when he wrote that

I've been working on the IJWMFTT piano part since I picked it out of the mix, so I'd be interested! And this is a great thread btw...

I used to be very regular at Susan's but it's duller than dishwater these days so I don't go there much. I posted for awhile on IMDb (I'm a big lover of classic film) but my interest comes and goes there.

Well this is my favorite BB song, so I enjoy all versions, but I'm partial to Brian's mono mix especially of this song because it's very Spector-ish, you can tell what Brian was going for. The people that did the stereo mix did a superb job but even they'd admit mono is the pure version.

I do, however, appreciate all the different viewpoints. Hearing the stereo opens everything up and let's you deconstruct the song easier.

Shocking, a wonderful singer that left us much too soon.,

That honky-tonk piano during the "Sometimes I feel very sad" portion of IJWMFTT is amazing, complete crazy genius.

I do believe Brian did not see the 2nd part until a day before it aired.

[asked]

So we all know how Brian Wilson was famously really into certain musicians, most obviously Spector but also Randy Newman and maybe Fleetwood Mac to comparatively lesser extents. Who were/are some musicians that famously had an infatuation with Brian's music and his mythos, and what if any was Brian's reaction? I've heard Roy Wood is such a fan of Brian's, although I'm not sure how true it is (rather, or if he's merely heavily influenced by him, if such a difference is appreciable) as I don't really know his music at all. Any others?

Seeing as Roy leapt at the chance to play with Brian when asked back in fall 1974, I'd say he's a big fan.

I hear one James Dirk McQuickly has expressed a mild liking for Brian's music in the past. R. K. Dwight as well.

Dirk had his name changed to Dirk James McQuickly in the 1970's. And what the fuuck is up with this censorship???!!  

Yeah - really juvenile, and it would have been nice to have been told, or even  asked, first. The word 'moderator' doesn't, last time I looked, mean 'imposes unilaterally'. But it's fixed now.

I'm with you Andrew, and it means more coming from you, admittedly not the world's biggest subscriber to the Beatles, although I do take it you quite enjoy Revolver?

Hmmm...my top 5 that first came to mind:
Albums:
Pet Sounds-The Beach Boys
Sgt. Pepper-The Fab Four
Live Rust-Neil Young and Crazy Horse
Teen Dream-Beach House
Selling England by the Pound-Genesis

Songs:
God Only Knows-BB
Strawberry Fields Forever-Fab Four
I'm Not in Love-10cc
Supper's Ready-Genesis
Lotta Love-Neil Young

There are, yes. They're called Van Dyke Parks and Gary Usher. But stick to your Beach Boys records, kid.

I hope it's acceptable that I'm also on a Guess I'm Dumb kick.

Are those the Boys on bg vox? I assume so.

Brian & The Honeys.

C-man has Carl listed as well on backing vocals.

I'm late to this, but the best of luck to your future Billy, keep your head up!

Wright is on a bit of Momentary Lapse, he's singing backup on "Sorrow" at least.

I'm probably way in the minority, and I'm not going to defend it as a great film or anything, but I laughed my head off when I saw Magical Mystery Tour recently. Might just be my sense of humor.

The Glen Miller Orchestra still tours. Why not the BB when the day comes?

Ugh, with all due respect I personally don't think that's a good idea. You only have to look to The Drifters or the Coasters or one of those groups that tour in splinters now, with different members doing different things, to see how it destroys a group's credibility. A touring BB without any originals destroys, IMHO, the credibility of the group and is just a tarnish of the name. All of this boils down to opinion, but the Be-atles probably had it best when they agreed, I think when they were still formed, that they wouldn't reform without all four members present. In Hari's words: "We aren't going to get Dave Gilmour or Roger Waters and call ourselves the Be-atles."

Bruce's mustache reminds me vaugely of McQuickly's, for what it's worth.

HANG ON, someone changed the word filter of Macca to McQuickly. WTF?!

Bruce's mustache reminds me vaugely of McCartney's, for what it's worth.

Most likely what was said above though: last minute recording for the Disney album. Just my opinion.

Given that the Disney album is mixed, mastered and in the hands of Disney... doubt it.  

Do we have any time frame it will be released? I'm actually really looking forward to it!

This is the same show when introducing Foskett, Darian says "You know the Miles Davis album "Kind of Blue?" Well Jeff has a new album out, check it out, it's called "Kind of White."

And then Scott says, "it's the follow up to "Round Noon""

My faves:
Live Rust-Neil Young and Crazy Horse
Wings Over America
The Name of this Band is Talking Heads
Dylan 1965 Bootleg Series and 1975 Rolling Thunder Review
The Last Waltz (it's overdubbed to death, but I don't care)
Genesis Archive Boxset Vol. 1 (mostly live)
The Dance-Fleetwood Mac
The live bits off of U2's Rattle and Hum
A Black & White Night Live-Roy Orbison
George Harrison Live in Japan
Time Fades Away-Neil Young and the Stray Gators
Tom Petty Live Boxset
The Doors-In Concert

"Alot".  This is not a word, people!!  It's "A lot".  

Oh I can't stand when people do that! Arghh...

I think I need the right perspective maybe to tell.

I have a lot of respect for the Byrds, they've not one of my key faves but I always liked McGuinn and Crosby's voices especially. The early stuff and the Untitled album are favorites of mine. Funny, considering I really like Gram Parson's solo stuff, Sweetheart of the Rodeo (the Dylan covers excepted) is mostly a bore for me.

The passages about Landy that aren't glad-handing him but telling the history are I would think accurate and definitely scary--he passes a lot of things off as OK which are really far from it. I'm thinking of the picture of Brian walking the streets in 1984 with an "I Love Gene" button. Even when I was the naive guy that took the book at face value it made me feel uneasy.
