What did I misinterpret?  He said it on TV.  It wasn't a journalist misquoting or without hearing the way he said it.  Do I think he cared about it and was in shock.  Off course, but it was still one of those crass moments that Mike is prone to.  Another reason why Beatles fans have it in for McCartney but love Lennon, even though he could offend people too.

Nevermind.  I understand now.

His recent comments also reek of McCartney calling Lennon's death, "a drag"!

Now I would stop right here.  You have misinterpreted a flimsy newspaper article...  The man himself said so.

Which is why when we post about him we shouldn't say anything we wouldn't say to his face.  Well maybe that's a little extreme.  But still, expressions of "he just doesn't get it" should be tempered with gratitude and an attitude of peace.

That's it!  The world needs Mike Love Not War!   

One good thing that came from this is all the previously-unseen Brian photos.

This makes me wonder... what happened to the copious amounts of videos of Brian from this time? Wasn't everything filmed daily? There must be thousands of hours of footage. Not that this private footage should be seen by the public, but at the same time, from a historical perspective, I hope it wasn't just destroyed.

We'd have to find all the former employees and ask where the cameras were set down.

During my spare time, I remix songs.  Take a look at this:

What do you think?

Apologies if this is known already, but I saw a radio advertisement for the Beach Boys at Jackson County Fair, MI, on August 2nd...   

Message just in from Brian!

First, I would try double tracking your vocals, they sound a bit dry.  The vocal work otherwise, sounds really good.   

All three Beach Boy members of BRI are responsible for the non-re-reunion of 2013.

Dumb question, who are these three principle members?  Can someone clear this up for me?

WHERE IS STAMOS???  That's the question!

Unpopular Opinions: I thoroughly enjoy M.I.U Album and all of Sweet Insanity.  I think the early BB albums (Surfin' Safari up to Summer Days [and Summer Nights]) are inessential at best (aside from a few standouts like Surfer Girl, Don't Worry Baby, California Girls, Let Him Run Wild, etc.).   

Then they can go back to being estranged and VDP can join "Mike Love Presents SMiLE" in an epic tour of county fairs and high school gyms where finally the mystery of the uncovered cornfield will be revealed. The answer MAY surprise you.

That may actually be a good idea for Mike to do!  Seriously!  I may actually start a thread about the idea!   

Save for I think three songs, GIOMH is all re-recordings from either Sweet Insanity or the Paley sessions. There is definitely a lot of material from the Paley sessions that fans have been wanting released for years.

yes in it's original form not re-recorded,,,,except vocals,,Brian can re-record the vocals,..but the music and the wall of sound production needs to stay.

That's an interesting approach.....really

well didn't Brian redo the vocals for the MIC release of "You're still a mystery"? he could do the same with the rest..

If they are overly processed?  No thanks.  Keep the originals...

Bump.

I think this should be revived.  The movie is coming out in two weeks.  I believe the world should hear Sweet Insanity, and the tapes should be found.  What do you all think?

Good choice, any more.

I need help trying to find where Love and Mercy is going to show in Michigan.  I live in Lansing, and I have no idea where to find any theater that will play it in the state.  Can someone help me? 

Thank you.

Honestly if they are reissuing a reissue without any new content, why should it be bought?  Is Rhino releasing this to capitalize on the movie release??  I second an official release of Sweet Insanity, but I heard the master tapes were stolen, so who knows how long it will take (if ever) for it to be released.

I know Brian has already commented about performing Funky Pretty for example.

Can you elaborate?  What did he say?

This next one is not a demo, but a remix of Do it Again from MiC with added voices either unheard or turned down.  I used this take (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5i9NEuXzxdI) along with the released stereo track to make it sound different.

I hope you all enjoy it.  This one might not be up for very long.  If it goes down, PM me:

Love reading through these kinds of threads.  Personally speaking though, I would never want to meet him.

Why?

I crashed the party at the hotel the day before the Washington Monument concert in 1984.  Almost everyone was there, including Brian, Landy, Carl, La Toya Jackson, Joe Jackson and others.  Brian's behavior was odd, and frankly not at all how I perceive him today.  Landy was with him the entire time. 

Can you give us any more details?

Hey all.  Today I heard a demo of Don't Let Her Know She's an Angel and decided to re-equalize the demo, de-noise it, etc. and add environmental noises to the demo to create a fuller vision (I know it's stock, but I think it works).

I'm planning on adding more to it, but as of today, this is what it sounds like:
https://www.mediafire.com/?0jv9y056kj69pp6

It's a FLAC file (even though the demo itself is not lossless, it sounds better that way, trust me).  I hope you all enjoy it.

You'd think Murry would be easier to defend, in theory, because he at least helped get the band going and was a source of some of their early "drive" as professionals.

Drive off a cliff.

Just wondering if there have ever been any people, online or otherwise, who have ardently defended Murry or Landy's actions? I'd imagine if these exist, they would be people best suited for an insane asylum... but perhaps there are actually people (non-trolls) who actually feel this way in their hearts.

And I'm not talking about people who just defend a few, select things that Murry or Landy did, but generally defend their actions and characters on the whole? Maybe is this akin to trying to find the yeti... 

There was a video where some people waiting to get an autograph from BW in the 80's said Landy was a great guy that savead his life.  Makes me really think: would we all think this now if we didn't find out Landy's abuses?

Where is this???  Never heard of it.
