On http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baroque_pop#1960s_peak, there's a part that discusses the origins of Baroque pop in which is says Bacharach experiments with different instruments and Spector uses his wall of sound.

Then it goes on and says: "In 1963 Brian Wilson probably responded to this by using string arrangements on songs on the Beach Boys' Surfer Girl album."

My question is, was the first song Brian used string arrangements on the Surfer Moon?  I was thinking it was, and I regard that song very high on early BB/BW tunes...it got me thinking about how the song Surfer Girl doesn't have any string arrangements, isn't that odd?  I know In My Room and Catch a Wave have a harp part, would that be considered a "string arrangement/section?" Are there any other songs on Surfer Moon or that era with string arrangements? Isn't there a BW-related artist that recorded or did some other form of Surfer Moon? B-side to Humpty Dumpty?

Brian Wilson first recorded 'Surfer Moon' with Bob and Sheri and that became the b-side to Humpty Dumpty.

The track for the BB version of "Surfer Moon" wasn't originally recorded with them in mind, it seems. An upcoming issue of ESQ (not the imminent Sunflower special) will very likely expand on this.

As for strings. Brian also used them on the single he produced for Gary Usher in 1964.

Here's an insignificant question: What's the deal with the title "Smiley Smile"?  Was that Brian's idea?  Obviously it's a take off on Smile but it seems like such a silly idea (not knocking the album, which I love).

I always thought of it as a stripped down, maybe "friendlier or happier" version of Smile.  There is a fair amount of laughing / giggling going on in some of the cuts:  Vegetables, Fall Breaks, She's Goin' Bald, Little Pad, Wind Chimes, Wonderful.  I think all of those cuts have a bit of silliness to them.  I don't know, just my own thoughts.

i've always loved (whether intentional or not) that the cover pretty much exactly says what smiley smile is to smile.  That building in smiley smile is the same building on the smile cover.  cept smile is set on fire and the smoke that comes from it is smiley smile.

If possible, not that I think they'd do it, would there be enough material to make a Pet Projects Vol. 2?

I was thinkin it could include tracks from the American Spring era, basically any that he was heavily involved with.

The rest of the tracks I'll throw out there, let me know if they're not BW original productions:

Bob and Sheri's Surfer Moon/Humpty Dumpty
The Castells' I Do
The Honeys' In the Still of the Night
Bob and Bobby's Twelve-O-Four/Baby What You Want Me to Do
The Noaens' Beach Girl
Ron Wilson's I'll Keep on Loving You/As Tears Go By
Basil Swift and the Seegrams' Farmer's Daughter
Redwood's Time to get Alone
Wilson Phillips' Til I Die, Everything I Need, and In My Room
Honeys'/American Spring Come To Me
California Music's Why Do Fools Fall in Love

While we're at it, for guest vocalist sake and poops/giggles, throw Johnny Rivers' Help Me Rhonda, The Timers' No Go Showboat, and Jan and Dean's Don't Ya Just Know It on there.

It is a house - but, if you look closely: the windows on the SmileySmile house are the exact same as the shop-windows on the SMiLE cover...The smiling-lips on the house were a nice addition too  Grin

If you want to see the shop windows on the house, good for you. They're similar; but the exact same, no. Still, you're right, the inspiration was obviously from Smile!

okay, not exact replicas, but they are shop windows that look strangely like the SMiLE windows. Granted, the Smiley house isn't made of wood siding - so I'll succumb to your argument  Grin

Wait; I wouldn't want to go out on that limb... 
the Smiley house MIGHT be made of wood siding; I can't really tell, since it's an indistinct distant shot.
The Smile shop does look like some sort of siding, but it could as easily be steel siding, couldn't it?
And the trim above the windows and doors looks, to me, a lot more like bricks placed vertically, than wood

In my very humble opinion, I see a tradition adobe hut with a few modern modifications. We'll have to see if AGD know the coordinates of where this SMiLE house is located....we'll assemble an expedition team and travel there to ascertain what the exact building materials are - plus, it'd be nice to see if that smoke is really from burning SMiLE albums or if it's from something a bit stronger  Grin

Hmm, you're losing me now: The SMILE house is a business location, somewhere, with a front stoop of tile set in concrete( shop attendants visible behind the display window curtains)
And even without the expedition: the Smiley House couldn't be burning SMiLE albums, because they hadn't made any yet!

You've got all the zoo animals outside, those are the same ones from the Pet Sounds photo shoot, Brian and the rest of the guys visited them at the zoo. 
Now the pets return the favor and come back to visit Brian.  Wink

The ones I bolded are the ones I've actually never heard before, not even on rarities.

Alright, so with these corrections, we could add those BW prod/co-prod to a Vol. 2

What should be added?

BTW, COME TO ME- holy crap, I LOVE that style of production, who would have thought Murry would have produced that? To quote Murry from the ABC American Family film: "Who would have thought you'd end up talented?" (Murry to Denny)

While we're at it, for guest vocalist sake and poops/giggles, throw Johnny Rivers' Help Me Rhonda, The Timers' No Go Showboat, and Jan and Dean's Don't Ya Just Know It on there.



The ones I bolded are the ones I've actually never heard before, not even on rarities.

They're all out there aren't they? Rather easy to find, I think. It's "NoDaens" by the way. 
I think I was in a hurry, oh well.

If possible, not that I think they'd do it, would there be enough material to make a Pet Projects Vol. 2?

I was thinkin it could include tracks from the American Spring era, basically any that he was heavily involved with.

The rest of the tracks I'll throw out there, let me know if they're not BW original productions:

Bob and Sheri's Surfer Moon/Humpty Dumpty
The Castells' I Do
The Honeys' In the Still of the Night
Bob and Bobby's Twelve-O-Four/Baby What You Want Me to Do
The Noaens' Beach Girl
Ron Wilson's I'll Keep on Loving You/As Tears Go By
Basil Swift and the Seegrams' Farmer's Daughter

Redwood's Time to get Alone
Wilson Phillips' Til I Die, Everything I Need, and In My Room
Honeys'/American Spring Come To Me
California Music's Why Do Fools Fall in Love

i've always loved (whether intentional or not) that the cover pretty much exactly says what smiley smile is to smile.  That building in smiley smile is the same building on the smile cover.  cept smile is set on fire and the smoke that comes from it is smiley smile.

What Smile cover are you speaking of?  The one I see is  a shop window, not a house.

It is a house - but, if you look closely: the windows on the SmileySmile house are the exact same as the shop-windows on the SMiLE cover...The smiling-lips on the house were a nice addition too  Grin

If you want to see the shop windows on the house, good for you. They're similar; but the exact same, no. Still, you're right, the inspiration was obviously from Smile!

okay, not exact replicas, but they are shop windows that look strangely like the SMiLE windows. Granted, the Smiley house isn't made of wood siding - so I'll succumb to your argument  Grin

Wait; I wouldn't want to go out on that limb... 
the Smiley house MIGHT be made of wood siding; I can't really tell, since it's an indistinct distant shot.
The Smile shop does look like some sort of siding, but it could as easily be steel siding, couldn't it?
And the trim above the windows and doors looks, to me, a lot more like bricks placed vertically, than wood

 LOL

In my very humble opinion, I see a tradition adobe hut with a few modern modifications. We'll have to see if AGD know the coordinates of where this SMiLE house is located....we'll assemble an expedition team and travel there to ascertain what the exact building materials are - plus, it'd be nice to see if that smoke is really from burning SMiLE albums or if it's from something a bit stronger  Grin

Hmm, you're losing me now: The SMILE house is a business location, somewhere, with a front stoop of tile set in concrete( shop attendants visible behind the display window curtains)
And even without the expedition: the Smiley House couldn't be burning SMiLE albums, because they hadn't made any yet!

In my opinion, the cover is a reflection hiding out from the world.

You've got all the zoo animals outside, those are the same ones from the Pet Sounds photo shoot, Brian and the rest of the guys visited them at the zoo. 
Now the pets return the favor and come back to visit Brian.  Wink

I had never made that connection before about the zoo animals. I think I like the album a little bit more now  Smiley

I guess I'm the only one who isn't high here;
I squinted REALLY HARD, but I still couldn't make the deer and goats? on the PS cover look like the elephant, hyena, giraffe, bluebird and toucan on the Smiley cover. 
Let me have some of what you guys are smoking!
