The Beach Boys + Wikipedia = Wrinkles

[runnersdialzero]

Yeah, that'd be cool.
As for the alternate versions, see here: http://www.weezerpedia.com/wiki/index.php?title=O_Girl (Ignore the RC# and COR# categories, those don't apply to the Beach Boys)

Yay or nay on having multiple lengths in the box?

Thanks again ^_^

Well I still say we should just have the album and single versions listed. Otherwise for certain songs there might be like 10 different versions listed and that'd just be overkill imo. We can always change these things at a later date though so I don't think we should worry about it too much at the moment.

I do think we need to be on the same page though in terms of formatting pages in the same way. So for example on articles about people we should insert this just above the categories:

{{DEFAULTSORT:Last name, First name}}

Eg:

{{DEFAULTSORT:Wilson, Brian}}

Awright, sounds good to me.

Thanks again for the song box, this'll help a lot.

No worries. I can't seem to figure out how to add the track listing though. Will try again later when I have the time.

Don't forget the super-secret side band...the Beach Mikes

[ontor pertawst]

Nobody could ever top the power of the "Wall of Mikes" sound.

Sorry for the ignorance, what's the "{{DEFAULTSORT:" thing?

Also, brilliant as always Mr.pertawst ^_^

The defaultsort thing is just to tell the category pages to sort an article in a different way. So for example in the category page it will list Brian, Carl and Dennis under "W" for "Wilson" instead of having Brian listed under "B", Carl under "C" etc..

So yeah a similar thing should be done for song titles starting with "The" and also articles starting with a number should have a "#" (eg: {{DEFAULTSORT:#20/20}}

So what would it look like for a song with "The" in the title? Can't think of one off-hand, so let's say the Beach Boys covered Metallica's "The Thing That Should Not Be". What would it look like?

Sorry again for n00bishness I'M LEARNIN'

Edit: "{{DEFAULTSORT:Thing That Should Not Be, The}}". Got it.

You just f***ed with my chi or something because looking at that makes me full of dread and pain

[hypehat]

I mean i feel like Brian looking at that Anderle picture of himself

[I. Spaceman]

  Never, ever, ever is it called SMiLE anywhere in the 60s.
 

People got that from the actual album cover. You know that, right?

Why not "GOOd VibrAtiONS"?

Because that song was already released, maybe? People write SMiLE because it is on the album cover and it is fun to do. Apparently, it is such a part of the history of the thing that it has been adopted officially. It is slightly odd, but that's the way it goes.
Don't sweat the small stuff, focus on more important things, like listening to the group's entire catalog.

Wasn't aware a front to back knowledge of the band's entire catalog was required for joining a forum. Apologies for not attentively listening to the likes of essential tracks like "Brian's Back" prior to a month ago. ^_^

Also, I'm just askin' for some consistency if people are really gonna spell it like that. "GOOd VibrAtiONS" appears on the cover, too.

Also, it's not fun to do.

[EgoHanger1966]

I disagree - writing Smile as SMiLE is more fun than a barrel of monkeys. And, according to Mike Love, a barrel of monkeys is pretty damn fun.

That two will bite, I guess.

I put this page together.

[Freddie French-Pounce]

Any use for Vinyl Scans of UK singles? Or are images a long distant part of this project?

(I was thinking more along the lines of UK only ones before you wonder why you would want UK singles e.g. Then I Kissed Her)

Looks good, just added a Solo albums page.

[runnersdialzero]

Should we take our business to a new thread? Mr.Quzi's original intent has been kind of lost to make way for discussion of the new one, and I think his intentions are solid, too. Also, I keep coming back to this thread to search for the link, and a lot of other folks may not be aware that it exists yet because it's kinda buried in this thread in an inconspicuous manner. A new thread would bring the attention solely on it.

Yay? Nay?

Edit: Aaaand it's down. Too much activity for one day?

[Matt H]

I think a new thread is a great idea, and bummer that it is currently down.

seems like all of wikkii.com is down, not just the Beach Boys part
