This thread belongs in an episode of The West Wing..

Very mysterious

Before I'm accused of homophobia again I am quite sure AGD took that as it was meant to be taken.

Not that direct.

I'm guessing it has to do with the sequencing of SMiLE. Guessing.

Perhaps we could ask Andrew questions that have a yes / no answer.

Andrew.....

Is it to do with the sequencing?

In other words, he's the anti-Brian

I guess AGD can not answer specific questions but may answer in a round-a-bout way so I will try this.

Statement: It would be nice if the boxset has the FH cover. That would make us happy!

Question: Will we be happy with the cover of the boxset AGD? (note no reference to what the cover is)

The use of Frank's artwork would make everyone happy (especially Frank): like I've been saying since day one, if not slightly before - thanks, ACJ - to put this out without the iconic cover is unthinkable, and if it's purely finance that's preventing it then hell, Brian, pay him out of your own pocket. This thing needs to be done right and, with all due respect to Mark London for his sterling work on the BWPS, there's only one cover, only one booklet.

Er... how did we get here from me relating an observation that c-man is one fine dude ? 

[adamghost]

Recently been talking to, y'know, someone about, ah, stuff (as you do) and they offered this opinion:

"Thank the Lord for Craig Slowinski.  The man is a saint and a gem."

True dat.

I'm not a saint or a gem, just a hard-working guy.  An entirely embarrased one.

I was told to say that. You can probably figure out by whom. 

Still true, mind.

You're in direct connect with Brian?  Not on twitter, fer sure.

Pretty sure Brian didn't say that about me.  Probably doesn't know me from Adam.

This explains why he always calls me C-Man...

I get the impression no one is going to spill what this thread is about. Fair enough, but can some kind soul 'in the know' confirm whether this is/isn't Smile related and whether it may/may not be of significant interest regarding the Sessions release?

I'd hate to get all excited then find three weeks down the line that someone has the inside scoop on Brian recording a song from Mulan on his upcoming solo album  (not entirely the right use of that Smiley, but it might make sense if you've seen Mulan).

Yes... and probably not.

Well, I asked for it didn't I?! 

[The Shift]

Aye, a curious thread that's had me curiositifising for days…

I reckon Craig's been asked to verify certain sessions detail and has run it by AGD for double-verification, which has given AGD an insight into release schedules and potential tracklists but he's sworn to secrecy and will, if he lets anything slip, have to hunt us all down, one by one, and kill us.

Just like he did with everyone on the original Cabinessence board…










… and yes, he knows who you are, and that you're still out there, and YOU"RE NEXT!

AGD is an employee of Blackwater, then. I though so all along.

Good reasoning. This would make a lot of sense, although why would AGD answer that it was 'probably not' of significant interest regarding the Sessions release? Surely, any track info would be of paramount interest to us all ....

I thought he said "probably not" about the Mulan song?

"Probably Not…" is also the name of a London-based Irish music group, formerly known as "Probably Not a Wardrobe" for reasons I've long-since forgotten. This could be a red herring on Andrew's part, or on mine.

Oh God, AGD's probably rubbing his hands with glee at all the confusion this is causing!

My original question was "Can some kind soul 'in the know' confirm whether this is/isn't Smile related and whether it may/may not be of significant interest regarding the Sessions release?", to which AGD replied "Yes .... and probably not"

He might have meant Brian is 'probably not' recording a Mulan song for his Disney album, but I think he was just addressing my main questions above.

Ha ha! Was it singing songs from Mulan!?

Have a bowl of oats and quit complaining – there's fields to be ploughed and carts to be drawn.

Son, you shouldn't advertise your sexual conquests on the internet, especially if they're that ugly.
