Thread for various insignificant questions that don't deserve their own thread!

[undercover-m]

Reminds me of an album they did.... hm.

[BillA]

I was listening to the Howard Stern interview of Mike in 1991.  During the interview Mike recounted a story of Dennis witnessing Manson killing a black guy at the Spahn Ranch.  Did this occur?

[drbeachboy]

hey what do you guys think of this cool pin i bought from my creepy neighbor at his garage sale?

sh*t, are you telling me "creepy people" like and listen to the Beach Boys? May the Saints preserve us!

[Emdeeh]

Glad you like the pin, Chaki! That's my artwork of the BBs, 25th anniversary tour.

[Emdeeh]

Toothy

Quite intentionally so (and inspired by Looney Toons)!  

Edit: And, yes, maybe also by a legendary "lost" album...

[Coda Hall]

This question is for guitarists, in WIBN the fast mandolin strumming sound during the "You know it seems the more.." Part is an accordion, with the violin reed option turned on. In concert, they always a 12 string to play this part, here is a most recent show. Could someone help me out with the tabs at this part?

I want to know everything about the Don Was era in the 90s where the  BBs almost made another album.

Can someone point me to the right thread? I'm sure it's a subject that's been covered here in the past.

Thanks.

Why does Brian record at Ocean Way on 6050 Sunset when his preferred studio in the '60s was EastWest at 6000 Sunset?

[Andrew G. Doe]

Excellent question. In passing, pretty much every article on Brian's solo career states, incorrectly, that he's back where he used to record, i.e. Western.

[The Cincinnati Kid]

Starting with Smiley Smile, would you guys say it's best to buy the rest of the albums in stereo?  I'm talking about the original pressings.

[alf wiedersehen]

Starting with Smiley Smile, would you guys say it's best to buy the rest of the albums in stereo?  I'm talking about the original pressings.

Start with Friends.

[Alan Smith]

Start with Friends.

Smiley and WH were only mixed for mono; so any vintage "stereo" versions will be fake stereo (electronically rechanneled), thus sound like recorded in a cement mixer (while the cement's mixing).

From what I understand, Friends was only mixed for stereo; any mono versions are fold downs, so not officially mixed for mono (although that doesn't apply to the singles/45 mixes).

[mikeddonn]

Excellent question. In passing, pretty much every article on Brian's solo career states, incorrectly, that he's back where he used to record, i.e. Western.

The vibrations just aren't conducive to recording at East West these days!

Any use to you, MCS? Any other ideas, anyone?

[Rocket]

Does anyone have a picture of an old newspaper interview with the boys from I believe 1964-1965ish?

It was like a question and answer game. They asked the Boys' height, weight, preference when it comes to girls, etc.?

I found it online once and stupidly didn't save it.

Was it this? 


From "16 Magazine" dated September 1965. The Beach Boys were asked to name the things they HATE and the things they LOVE.

Carl Wilson
I HATE people who make stupid jokes about my hair.
I HATE hot, damp weather.
I HATE getting trapped in crowds: In one arena Glen Campbell—who takes Brian’s place when we are on the read—jumped off the stage first (at the end of the show) and the rest of us didn’t have time to run off before the crowd closed in. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but it was a frightening experience.
I HATE getting up to catch an early morning flight. Our road manager, Terry Sachen, gets up one hour ahead of time, and it takes him just that long to get me out of bed!
I HATE people who shove a paper and pencil at you and say, “Sign it.” Kids are too polite to do this—it’s the adults who are rude to us.
I HATE girls who act stuck up.
I HATE having my hair pulled.
I HATE sweet potatoes.
I HATE rude telephone operators.
I LOVE girls with a sense of humor.
I LOVE the clothes Duggie Millings of London makes. He does the suits you see Peter and Gordon and the Beatles wear.
I LOVE my older brother Brian’s sense of humor. He can cheer me up and make me laugh when no else can.
I LOVE girls who can carry on an interesting conversation
I LOVE to listen to LPs. When I was in New York last time, the people at Capitol Records turned me loose in the warehouse and I took tons of records back to L.A. with me. I took LPs by Peter and Gordon, Cilia Black, Laurendo Almeida, the Lettermen, the Beatles and the Four Freshmen—to name a few.
I LOVE water-skiing.
I LOVE the TV show, The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
I LOVE the way the Righteous Brothers sing.
I LOVE girls who are cute, but don’t act conceited.
I LOVE food—especially Polynesian dishes.
I LOVE the new house Dennis and I share in the Hollywood Hills. It is ultra-modern, but cozy.

Dennis Wilson
I HATE loud-mouthed phoney people.
I HATE phone calls in the middle of the night.
I HATE artsy-folksy folks who are that way only because they think it is the “in” thing to do.
I HATE girls who call attention to themselves by being noisy.
I HATE to be cooped up in a dressing room or on a plane.
I HATE to go on long car rides unless I am the one who is doing the driving.
I HATE to ever be the least bit sick. I can’t stand lying about.
I HATE to hear people put down other people—for anything.
I HATE teased-up hair styles.
I HATE to see young girls dressed in black or dark sophisticated clothes.
I LOVE to go fishing.
I LOVE the presents that fans give me. We all got lovely identification bracelets from a New York City girl once when were there. It really thrilled us that someone took such pains on our behalf.
I LOVE Chinese food, and my favorite restaurant is Ah Fong’s on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood.
I LOVE cars. I have a black Ferrari sports car. I used to race.
I LOVE girls—all kinds, shapes and sizes!
I LOVE to dance, and when I have time of an evening you can find me going through all the latest steps at Gazzari’s in Hollywood.
I LOVE the way Barbara Stressed [sic] sings. When she played the Coconut Grove, I went to see her live nights in a row.
I LOVE to meet the kids who come to see us when we do public appearances.
I LOVE discothèques.
I LOVE all the “group” sounds—both English and American.

Brian Wilson
I HATE so-called “surfin’ music.” It’s a name that people slap on any sound from California. Our music is rightfully “the Beach Boy sound”—if one has to label it.
I HATE to miss gigs. But I’ve missed many lately because of time I have to spend in a relatively calm atmosphere writing our songs and doing all the musical arrangements
I HATE sound men who have a “tin” ear. It’s awful when you go to set up your mikes on the road and the sound people don’t help you work out the proper effects. It’s the audience who suffers most!
I HATE neighbors who complain when I play the piano in the middle of the night. As you may guess, I just had some of the same—and now I have to move again!
I HATE to have to sit around TV studios waiting for our time to go on.
I HATE older people who criticize younger people who are trying to do something.
I HATE people who dont try to understand others.
I HATE immodest, aggressive girls.
I LOVE to compose and arrange—to create and make music.
I LOVE to buy things on impulse. I bought a steam bath (portable) that way.
I LOVE girls with dark olive skin and dark hair.
I LOVE my Cadillac. It is a green El Dorado.
I LOVE “egg-in-the-hole”. It’s about the only thing
I can cook, but it is great. You pinch out the center of a
piece of bread, butter it, place it in a frying pan and put
a raw egg in the hole. The entire thing cooks together
and is very, very tasty.
I LOVE playing baseball. I was center field for the Hawthorne High School team.
I LOVE the English TV show, Ready, Steady, Go Live!
I LOVE to be healthy. I was run-down for a while from over-work, but I started taking vitamins and eating regularly—and now I’m fine.

Al Jardine
I HATE people who ask us what we are going to do when “. . . this is all over” They sound as though the world will end for us when we stop cutting records. We all have plenty of definite plans for the future.
I HATE to be away from home (and my lovely wife, Linda) for too long a time.
I HATE to see adults put us and our music down because they don’t happen to like the sound.
I HATE to see teenage girls run around dressed in a sloppy manner.
I HATE to be kept waiting for anything.
I HATE olives.
I HATE to have to walk anywhere. I guess that’s because in Hollywood you get used to driving everywhere.
I HATE those who said the Beach Boys were a fad and wouldn’t last. Ha! Ha!
I LOVE to be a tourist when I’m on the road. I roam the streets of any new town I visit and try to see all there is to see while I am there.
I LOVE New York City. It is absolutely fascinating— to visit.
I LOVE collecting souvenirs.
I LOVE to see girls with long natural-looking hair.
I LOVE to play Big Casino—a card game.
I LOVE to win when I play Big Casino!
I LOVE to be called by my entire first name—Alan.

Mike Love
I HATE people who barge into your dressing room after a show and make themselves at home.
I HATE for a girl to scream right into my ear, it’s happened in mob scenes a couple of times, and I almost went deaf!
I HATE opera. My mother used to play it real loud in the mornings to wake me up when I was in school—and now I can’t stand it!
I HATE people who try to trick other people.
I HATE girls who adopt a facade or pretend to be “cool” because it’s the thing to do.
I HATE to see girls wear black lace stockings.
I HATE beatniks.
I HATE the way the English use the word artistes to refer to performers. It sounds so pretentious.
I HATE girls who are grubby and dirty. I LOVE Hawaii, Mexico and France.
I LOVE Oriental and near-Eastern types of girls.
I LOVE young girls, for they don’t seem to be as artificial as the older ones.
I LOVE tight jeans.
I LOVE the color blue.
I LOVE fans who really care for you and don’t run after you just because you’re a performer.
I LOVE girls who wear light cologne. My favorite aroma is Casaque.
I LOVE the Beatles’ record, Ticket To Ride.
I LOVE rock and roll music, especially Little Richard and Chuck Berry.
I LOVE the sculpture of Rodin.
I LOVE watches. I just bought a beautiful gold one for a girl—but now I have to find a girl to give it to!
I LOVE—like I said before—GIRLS!
