So about that biopic, American Family. Everyone knows that Mike Love oversaw the writing of that movie, and the proof is in the pudding, but if that's the case, how come he didn't have the whole illegitimate daughter thing taken out?

Lately, I've been reading the Add some Music to Your Day book, in particularly, the article: 'repairing the arid landscape the surf's up album[/i]' by Michael Bocchini. He refers to an album insert with a picture of a landscape; if memory serves me right, I've never seen this picture. Could someone be so kind and upload that photo or point me to the right direction where it's shown, in perhaps a BB book or Surf's Up twofr liner notes?

To go along with my singles challenge, I do have a question that I've always wondered, gearing towards singles. With the Beach Boys and Beatles both being on Capitol records, I'm guessing that Capitol had the 'say so' in what singles came out; but what always boggled my mind was that the Beatles had so many singles that don't appear on albums (majority of Past Masters Vol. 1 & 2, excluding single mixes; per example: Let it Be, Get Back, etc.) But the Beach Boys singles were always on the albums...was this because of a lack of confidence from Capitol? or did management have a say in this? I'm just asking for the fact that we don't have too many singles that don't appear on albums (aside from single mixes); really a handful of singles I can think of are: the Little Girl I Once Knew, Breakaway, Celebrate the News, Male Ego, It's a Beautiful Day, etc.

Not a landscape, but a brown-toned picture of a dried-up lake bed, the mud dried into polygons separated by deep cracks. It's used as the background of the pages with the "Brian Wilson himself..." headline. On the other side of this are the lyrics & credits (it's like a booklet with just four sides - said lyrics/credits are also reproduced in the 2fer booklet).

Meh - usually if a topic is worth keeping stickied, it keeps itself on the first page. Stickying things can often lead to it being easily missed because usually things that are stickied aren't worthwhile or are only read once (announcements, rules, etc.)

I know throughout Brian's re-emergence in the 1980/90s it was suggested -- and sometimes actually planned -- that he work with various other artists who were at the time immensely popular and were huge fans of Brian. I know he was supposed to work with Sean O'Hagan (The High Llamas) and Andy Partridge (XTC), I think. (Both of these would have been amazing, alas! He should ring 'em up again...) Does anyone know who else, if there was anyone else, was floated that he could have worked with as a songwriting partner?

Some fun Patridge quotes featuring Brian (AV Club interview, 2007):
Quote
AVC: You weren't able to play guitar for six months because of a hand injury. Were you still writing songs during that time?

AP: Trying to, but it's not easy when you can't play properly. I have cassettes—how's that for duff technology? They still sound better than MP3s. I have loads of cassettes with about 100 bits of song. But I've just been kind of lazy and somewhat diverted from wanting to finish them off. Years ago, there was an interview with Brian Wilson—this was when he was coming out of his very troubled phase—and he said, "I have tapes with 100 pieces of song." And I thought, "God, why doesn't he just finish up a few of them?" And now I find myself in an identical position.

[. . .]

AVC: What will your solo record be like?

AP: I have no idea what my solo record is going to come out like. But in a sad, weird, deranged, Brian Wilson kind of way—and I should wear a grubby old dressing gown to say this—I do have 100 pieces of song. And you know, I felt so sorry for him when he said that. I thought, "God, Brian, get it together!" And now I've admitted to you that that's what I've got. Now I'm the crazy guy that stays in bed with tinnitus.

Not the most interesting question to ever be asked on this board I'm sure, but can anybody tell me if Dennis is vocally audible anywhere on the "Wild Honey" album? Can't hear him at all and no Bruce either for that matter.

How prevalent was the term "vibrations" being used for "innate impressions" before Good Vibrations came out?

I ask because I like the idea of a song changing the language like that, and I wanted to make sure.

The asnwer is far more prosaic than anything you propose - in the UK the custom was not to include singles on albums, because then the fans were paying twice for the same songs.  While as on this side of the pond, the custom was to include the singles - since they were almost always the strongest tracks on the albums and would boost sales.  Capitol DID include Beatles singles that were not on albums in the UK on early Beatles albums on Capitol - and on  Yesterday and Today where they added Day Tripper/We Can Work It Out for example, or Magical Mystery Tour where they took a six song EP and made it into an album with five single sides.

Good call...perhaps this is why we have the LP version of Be True to Your School and a single version, same as Fun Fun Fun (though I dont hear much of a difference), etc.

Does anyone here know of the SMiLE material missing from the currently available boots? What I'm asking here, is what we expect to obtain with an official SMiLE boxset, in terms of new material, not higher quality or somesuch.

*Spits coffee on my screen* What's it on?

Is there anything else that hasn't been booted? Just thinking about it, we have sessions for Wonderful (both versions), Heroes And Villains (the main sections, plus loads of little bits, including the Cantina, the bit that closes it on BWPS, and a lot of Part 2 sessions), Do You Dig Worms (although not the complete session, right?), Cabin Essence, Surf's Up, Look, CITFOTM, Holidays, Dada, False Barnyard, OMP, countless Vegetables sessions, Great Shape, WorkShop, I Wanna Be Around, the individual overdubs for Water, and even some Fire tapes!

The only things I can think we don't have are vocal overdubs on some things, the sessions for Barnyard, that mythical second Surf's Up session, and probably lots of other little tidbit H&V and Veggies sessions. But there is a lot out there....

I don't care how good the SOT's or whatever sound, I think an upgrade in sound quality might nearly be my main reason for buying a Smile box...
