yeah yeah. All I know is this Ebay listing, for a Marxophone, says it was used on that song: 
http://cgi.ebay.com/Antique-Marxophone-Vintage-String-Instrument-/230579076866

Um... actually, it only mentions "WGGT" as an example of a song using a Marxophone... unless Portishead, The Beach Boys, The All-American Rejects, Queens of the Stone Age, Failure and Incubus all managed to track down the exact same instrument to use on their songs.

This is what I'm reading...


It can be heard on these modern recordings:

"Sour Times" by Portishead
"When Girls Get Together" by The Beach Boys
"Another Heart Calls" by The All-American Rejects
"Someone's in the Wolf" by Queens of the Stone Age
"Blank" by Failure
"Anna Molly" and "Leech" by Incubus

I get the impression that there are quite a few surviving Marxophones out there and don't think the listing is trying to imply that the specific instrument being auctioned is the one that appears on any of the recordings mentioned; it's just the same model.

Oh I got that part!  Is that what AGD was implying? ( all of them using the same marxophone)  Nah...

Might as well try asking my moronic question here, googling isn't helping much.

Gershwin's music is supposed to come into the public domain soon, right? Does this mean the songs he wrote with Ira (or indeed others) come into the public domain with it, or do the lyrics remain copyrighted? Pardon my ignorance of copyright law, but there it is. Thanks!

I know that copyright in the States now extends from the life of the author plus 70 years.

I've been searching for this thread on and off throughout the day to no avail;

Can anyone link me to the thread where (I think) Steve Desper talks about how we can trade in (plus a small sum of $) our CD copies of Surf's Up and Sunflower to get his mix of the albums?

When did Carl/Al first sing the bicycle rider verse of Heroes and Villains in concert? Was it an impromptu thing? I've always wondered what Brian thought of it.

I have a question.
The other day, I was listening to At My Window and I know it's based on Raspberries Strawberries, does anyone know anything about it? I was thinking where Brian start's talking French, maybe that's the chorus;l just singing Raaaasspberries, Straaaaaawberries.
Does that make sense?

I think Raspberry Strawberries is an old folk song; I wouldn't be surprised but I bet that the melody is the same, considering it's Al.

On page 9 of the Stephen Desper thread, he retracted the offer after his fee for the service was called into question (legally speaking). He said he wanted to consult with his lawyers before re-instating the offer, but I don't think it was ever brought up again. Perhaps the word from the legal men wasn't so good...

Here's a link to that page if you'd like to read it in his own words:

Thanks so much Bubblegum! I searched the Desper thread starting with the last page on backwards because I thought it was a recent post. I never made it back to page 9. It's a shame legality was in question - seemed only fair as we did have to buy the original version first.

There is always the possibility that the good Mr Desper rmight be willing to provide a select few hardcore fans with a copy for free. As long is he isn't legally selling it....

About Van Dyke's Volvo: I e-mailed him and he said he is fairly sure it was a Volvo 123 GT (which by the way was a sportier version, with 115 hp!). He also mentioned that that car lasted for three years, after which he had a VW Bus, then a Rover sedan. These days he drives a Honda Hybrid.

A 70's Rover? I knew he was brave, but...  LOL

Still, very interesting piece of information (to me at least)

Yea me too! Fits my picture of him nicely not to drive American cars. He also mentioned he had a 180 cc Yamaha motorcycle before he got the Volvo, but I believe I've read that elsewhere.

Van Dyke's criteria for choosing a Volvo had nothing to do with nationality: when Brian asked him what car he'd like, he replied that a Volvo was the safest car on the road.

I know that. The model that Van Dyke owned became the first car in the world to, in 1959, have three-point belts in the front seats as standard equipment. But the other cars he listed was also non-American.

I have a request and a question, all in one.

Concerning the pictures taken at the airport with Brian and the whole smile entourage (when Brian was headed to Mich. to oversee the guys play GV, I believe).

My question is how many different pics were taken? I only knew of the one that's in the Smile-Tour book with everyone posing, Jules Segal on the floor, Brian cheesing it, and so on.  I also know of the one towards the very back of LLVS where everyone is walking in the terminal. Didn't Brian have the first one framed in his home? Does it still exist somewhere? Or was it thrown out with the Smile tapes? ( Wink) 

My request is if someone could upload or point me in the direction of a site that has these pics in color.

Many Thanks!

Speaking of photos in color, is there any chance a new revision of LLSV would be made with all the pages in COLOR?

How amazing would that look?


Also, just a revision with articles from late 90s about Smile, then articles of Brian playing Smile songs here and there on tour, and then BWPS.
