| Re: My POB/Bambu deluxe CD [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 22 Jun 2008 04:24 AM CDT Mike wrote some good songs in the mid seventies. A lot of them on were to be on First Love, which actually would have been one of the better Beach Boys solo albums if not anywhere near Dennis' work. It's hell of a lot better then Carl's and half of Brian's |

| Re: 30 Years Ago Tonight [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 22 Jun 2008 02:45 AM CDT Little Douche Coupe - nice one. I wasn't even born by 1978, so I'm always delighted at reading this kind of first hand accounts of original Beach Boys concerts. Thanks for sharing. |
| Re: My POB/Bambu deluxe CD [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 22 Jun 2008 02:37 AM CDT Dennis phoned Mike and played him the track down the wires. A few hours later, Mike called back with the lyrics, which I think are pretty good. "POB" was Dennis' submission for 15BO but was not included on the grounds that it rather stood out. |

| I didn't want to piss on his Picasso...Taylor Hawkins [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 22 Jun 2008 12:00 AM CDT http://www.gigwise.com/article?id=44006&image=2#gallery Foo Fighters Drummer Talks About 'Beach Boys' Collaboration by James Dannatt 20 June 2008 Photo by: Carsten Windhorst Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins has revealed his affiliation with Beach Boy Dennis Wilson after he collaborated on the reworking of Wilson's 'Holy Man' – taken from the reissue of the classic Pacific Ocean Blue. Hawkins sings lead vocals to new lyrics written by Wilson's songwriter partner Gregg Jakobson on the song that had previously been left as an instrumental. A huge fan of the Beach Boys star, Hawkins revealed to The Sun that he shares a special bond with Wilson. "He's a drummer. He grew up on the beach and Gregg always said that we had somewhat similar voices, kinda rough, not exactly Pavarotti, a bit scratchy," he said. Hawkins also admitted he had initial doubts over the recording. "I was a little nervous. I was like 'Who the foda am I to do it?' This stuff is pretty sacred. I didn't want to piss on his Picasso." Wilson, a drummer like Hawkins, died in 1983 of an alcoholic drowning incident and has been regarded as an under appreciated member of the influential band. Hawkins expressed his thoughts on the life of Wilson: "I think he was terribly insecure 'cos he had these two brothers. One of 'em, Carl, had the voice of an angel and the other, Brian, is a mad genius. But Dennis was the only one who surfed - he was the real Beach Boy." The Foo Fighters drummer's bandmate Dave Grohl has given Hawkins his seal of approval on the track. Hawkins explained: "He loved it, thought it was totally beautiful, but I don't think he's ever heard Pacific Ocean Blue. It's hard to sit him down to actually listen to something. "He's as busy as foda, always got something going on with his family and all that stuff." Foo Fighters are currently on a world tour and you can see pictures of their historic Wembley Stadium headline performance with Led Zeppelin see below... |

| Re: Dennis Wilson podcast - Episode One [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 21 Jun 2008 07:03 PM CDT Has the 3rd part of this podcast been posted? I don't think so, but I could be wrong. If not, it seems that there has been a long delay since the 2nd segment (May 30th). Now that the album is out it would be perfect timing for them to release the 3rd and final segment. Yes, it has been posted:http://blogs.legacyrecordings.com/podcast/dennis-wilson-3/ |

| Re: POB Bambu on Vinyl! [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 21 Jun 2008 06:11 PM CDT Odd joke...since Capitol has ZERO to do with the POB/Bambu release it is a stretch. But anyway...I did get to hold in my hands an advance copy of the Sundazed three LP Blue vinyl POB/Bambu set and it is absolutely SPECTACULAR!!! Truly beautiful...and heavy. I suggest everyone order one, find one, get one...they are so damn cool. |
| Re: POB - Radio Spotting [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 21 Jun 2008 05:44 PM CDT Track: River Song Station: FM104 Date 21st June |
| Re: Carl Wilson Admiration Society Thread [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 21 Jun 2008 05:40 PM CDT Carl Wilson was boss man. Who else could scream the lyrics of Shortien' Bread like that??  I think he was more into that song then Brian, which is kinda scary. He was also the best looking in the late 60s!  |
| Re: POB - Radio Spotting [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 21 Jun 2008 05:36 PM CDT Track: Piano Variation on Thoughts of You Station: 88.5WXPN Date: June 21st |
| Re: 30 Years Ago Tonight [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 21 Jun 2008 03:57 PM CDT He went back in December I think. |
| Re: POB Bambu on Vinyl! [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 21 Jun 2008 03:56 PM CDT I think it will arrive next week. |
| Re: POB Bambu on Vinyl! [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 21 Jun 2008 03:35 PM CDT There's a difference between "expanded" and "abridged." I received my promo copy of the Capitol, and they got it exactly right. Just like holding the Fun Fun Fun/Dance Dance Dance twofer in my hands. And because it's abridged, we're not stuck listening to extra music we don't need to hear. |
| POB - Radio Spotting [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 21 Jun 2008 03:24 PM CDT Jumped into the car to go out last night, turned on the ignition and a very familiar sound met my ears - "but I don't have that on CD yet" was my reaction, "it's the radio stupid" - "hell, it's Dennis!". So I reckon we need a thread where we list when we hear DW POB/BAMBU tracks on the radio as its a good indication of commercial acceptance - just isolated tracks, not specials featuring the album, just tracks. I'll kick it off: TRACK: Holy Man (instrumental) STATION: FBI 94.5 (Sydney, Australia) - Indenpendent community station with youth demographics. DATE: Sat 21st June |
| Re: 30 Years Ago Tonight [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 21 Jun 2008 02:53 PM CDT This may be a hard question because I think Brian took up the bass for two years on stage (76-78) and things change, but.... When he was playing it, was there a backup musician playing behind him, just in case he lost interest in the middle of a song? Judging from photos & videos I've seen, Brian initially played piano only when returning to the stage in '76, but by the end of that year he was playing bass on two songs. Late in '77, he switched mostly to bass and stayed that way throughout '78. Eddie Carter was there, but playing guitar while Brian played bass. Eddie took over on bass for a couple of songs mid-set, while Brian disappeared with Dennis, or played keyboard, depending on the song and the night. Brian was in the hospital for most of August '78, so Ed played bass for the whole set then. And also, was Brian in decent voice (especially falsetto) when either of you saw him? |
| Re: POB Bambu on Vinyl! [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 21 Jun 2008 02:36 PM CDT Wait, I still don't get it... I know it's coming out on vinyl, but that's just a joke, right?  The vinyl won't be out on Capitol but on Sundazed and it will be 3 instead of 2 LP's, so of course it's a joke. |
| Re: POB Bambu on Vinyl! [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 21 Jun 2008 01:39 PM CDT Wait, I still don't get it... I know it's coming out on vinyl, but that's just a joke, right? |
| Re: Dennis Wilson merchandise [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 21 Jun 2008 01:39 PM CDT Looks like Dennis has breasts in the third one. |
| Re: Dennis Wilson merchandise [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 21 Jun 2008 01:12 PM CDT Yeah, I don't even konw which design I like the best. Maybe the black? Although I would have just prefered the white without the extended pic of Denny's chest haha. I wish they looked nicer as I would've definitely picked one up |
| Re: Dennis Wilson merchandise [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 21 Jun 2008 12:56 PM CDT Thanks for the link. I can't say I think much of the designs to be honest. Shame they couldn't have used some of the other photos. |
| Re: Brian and Macca 1967 pic [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 21 Jun 2008 12:46 PM CDT At first I would've swore it was VDP with his head replaced by Paul's. |
| Re: Bubble Boy [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 21 Jun 2008 12:41 PM CDT Aegir, that is the perfect review of an Adam Sandler movie. Sounds like a review of Zohan. Pretty much every Sandler movie except Punch Drunk Love, Spanglish, and Reign Over Me follow the exact same funny-but-really-dumb-and-cheesy formula. |
