"Made in California" Box Set

[rn57]

RRA1 is probably the one person on the board who's a bigger NRBQ fan than me...so she's A1 with me...

RangeRover is a chick? I didn't even know...

I'm sure we all do compared to the average person -- liking Love You is probably one of the better examples of this sort of thing -- but even I don't listen to any albums after 1977. There's just no point for me -- there are some good songs, sure, but they're few and far (far!) between that the GV box set has almost all you seriously need (except "Love Surrounds Me" and "My Diane").

Hang on, I like to compile my imaginative L.A Light! It's got the mature songs and only the single version of HCTN!

Getcha Back is the only good song on that album.

I agree.  Even if it's not that good a song, it's the best song on the album.  I hate that album.  It's hands down the worst album the boys made with Brian.

Sir, that would be 15 Big Ones.

(for some odd reason, I am drawn to '85 - the only song I really don't care for is "It's Just A Matter of Time". Loves me some "Passing Friend", all five minutes.)

I like 15 Big Ones.  It's OK, Back Home, Just Once in My Life, Had to Phone Ya, Susie Cincinnati, those are some good songs.

You basically just re-posted my post

I love 'TM Song'. 2nd only to 'Had to Phone Ya' on 15 Big Ones.

I do too. It's a song I often forget even exists, but when it comes on I always enjoy listening to it. It's just such an odd little song, and I'm pretty sure it's the only new song he wrote for 15 Big Ones besides "That Same Song", since "Back Home" was from the '60s, "It's OK" was from 1974, and "Had To Phone Ya" was a Spring song.

I've recently began to look at TM Song differently because of some of yous guys. It IS a lot of fun. The quirky backing track is endearing (in a Loop de Loop kinda way).

Who says what in the beginning? Dennis and Mike aren't hard to pick out, but...

I like "TM Song", too.  Always thought if Brian eliminated the "argument" part which is annoying, and developed the song a little more, maybe expand on that opening verse, it coulda been a contender. I once saw Al sing this song on I believe The Mike Douglas Show, and he added an additional opening line or two.

I also enjoy 15 Big Ones....Brian Wilson Rechannels Spector.

Now that I'd love to see!

The argument is the best bit! Who says 'Ahhh shup up!!'?

[Dunderhead]

Glad to see TM Song getting some love, that one always brings a smile to my face. The argument at the start is indeed great, taste be damned.

[Camus]

Isn't it Brian who is the 'owner' who is having the argument with the rest?  I love how "what are you doing" is said.

The part about the car being on the lawn always makes me laugh my ass off.

Same with me. TM Song is awesome. I will never ever understand most hardcore Beach Boys fans.

TM Song reminds me a little bit about H.E.L.P. Is On The Way - which isn't a bad thing at all!

[Cabinessenceking]

TM Song is a pure novelty. funny in context, but from a musical perspective: 

[Awesoman]

"TM Song" sucks. Sorry guys.

[pixletwin]

"TM Song" sucks. Sorry guys.

So does this tangent. We need some real news about this release. 

[Aegir]

Hold up, Joe Pesci, I think you're getting offended for no reason. I didn't mean to imply that I found you annoying, and I don't think Ian (Spaceman) has a problem with you either.

and in your first paragraph you defend that your taste is different than others', and then in the second you call me out for doing the same thing. I posted the quote of you liking your own username because I thought it was funny! that's not a bad thing, I'm not trying to mock you.

I'm sorry if it came off that way.

RangeRoverA1, I'm pretty sure I would not be alone to say that I appreciate your presence here and your posts.  I think it's also fun to have a laugh at our idiosyncrasies!

[The Shift]

C'mon Capitol, share some news… good people are getting ansty…

[Mike's Beard]

Is it Carl who does the "YOU KEEP OUTTA THIS!!!" line? That part cracks me up.

[The Heartical Don]

C'mon Capitol, share some news… good people are getting ansty…

Agree. Given that a November release is likely, which is a mere 2 months away, a press release would be the normal thing to do now.

[I. Spaceman]

I find nothing "iconoclastic", as you said, in my TM Song comment & other tastes. 

Oh, I'm quite sure you don't. Actually, I wasn't being sarcastic in my post at all. But if you take the time to read what EVERY OTHER PERSON ON EARTH who is into the Beach Boys generally thinks about music, and then consider your own, which are generally DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED in every possible way, you might expect a bit of at least gentle chiding about it.
And honestly, your good mood means absolutely nothing to me, although I am sure you are an alright person and I'd probably buy you a beer if we were in a bar at the same time.

That's The Lovester.
