| Re: ricky fataar and blondie chaplin [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 27 Jun 2008 06:45 AM CDT Ricky's a well-known session drummer, he's currently with Bonnie Raitt's backup band. Blondie went on to a career backing several other bands, including replacing Bill Wyman in the Stones and Richard Manuel in the Band. He's also had quite a few solo albums out, and had a band, Skollie, with his friend Anton Fig, which released one LP, Ostrich Man, which is great. He's also lent his voice to several other LPs. He is the current owner of two solo albums, though a third (technically his second), The Fragile Thread, remains unreleased and unbooted. Blondie was not with the Stones until '97...Daryl took over the bass in '94. Blondie did play bass (and piano) on one or two cuts on the "Bridges To Babylon" CD. Blondie just sings back-up (and acoustic guitar/tamborine) with the Stones. Darryl Jones plays bass for The Stones. or did Blondie play bass for a bit before they got Darryl? | ||

| Re: Stickies [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 27 Jun 2008 05:16 AM CDT Is there some way to just add a few more subject lines to each page? That might address some of the issue right there. Yes, there is. How many would you suggest? | ||
| Re: 'Greatest musicians' finally get honor [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 27 Jun 2008 03:58 AM CDT Must refer to his drunk driving charge in 03. Found this on Wiki...Brian is not on his own with a return to Capitol it would seem. Also another Foo Fighter/ BB link. It was announced in April 2008 that Campbell is returning to his signature label, Capitol, to release his new album MEET GLEN CAMPBELL scheduled for release in August 08. He will branch off in a different musical direction, covering tracks from artists such as U2, Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, Jackson Browne and The Foo Fighters. It will be Campbell's first release on Capitol in over 15 years. Musicians from Cheap Trick and Jellyfish will contribute to the album as well. | ||
| Re: TLOS Question (for Mr Doe in particular) [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 27 Jun 2008 03:44 AM CDT I don't know what it is, but TLOS is Brian's first solo work (beside Smile) I want to hear again and again. All the different parts, styles, feels, creative facettes, jokes, vocals layers and of course the whole concept make it an interesting adventure, although not every song is outstanding compared to the BB's best work of course. But there is not one song I can't stand and there are new classics like "Midnight" (for me the best song of Brian's solo career) and also "Good Kind Of Love", which is IMO the most commercial-sounding or radio-friendly BW solo pop song. Single A candidate. And these are not first impression thoughts, since I regularely listen to TLOS since last September. One of the best albums Brian and the BB ever did, if the recordings won't sound very different to the live performances. | ||
| Re: TLOS Question (for Mr Doe in particular) [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 27 Jun 2008 02:51 AM CDT TLOS is commercially stillborn, just like everything the man did solo that wasn't BWPS (and as much as the "Meleaf" brigade would love to deny it, it was the BEACH BOYS mystique that made Smile so appealing). The Brian camp is one laughable charade after another. It's not all peaches and cream, heavenly wine and roses and all. I can imagine they're quite literally merdating bricks with fear that this one is just going to crash and burn. But I'm just an old fogey who tires of the whole blueboard "OMG BRIAN HAS A NEW ALBUM!!!!!111" mentality that inevitably spills across forums. Because we'll be all happy that there's a new album, we'll hear all the interviews, read all the press, but when it comes out we all say "Brian's FINISHED! He's a walking vegetable and hasn't done anything of merit since the sixties." It's a vicious cycle. Christ, people even found ways to bash BWPS, you know, THE BEST ALBUM EVER. "SAMPLED harpsichords?!?! This is NOT Brian Wilson's trademark..." I don't hate Brian by any means, but I do feel bad for him. This album will, inevitably, be ripped apart by even his most hardcore of fans. But Brian's resigned himself to this. It's not even sad, it's pathetic. The man deserves better than what he gets from his fans who just love ripping his efforts apart on here when he's at the age where he doesn't even have to prove anything. I'm not a huge fan of TLOS (it does feel a bit Orange Crate Art-ish, the whole "glory to California" thing), but I support the Beach Boys (not just Brian) and all the music, collectively or solo, as much as anyone does now. I'm hoping for the best but preparing for the worst. Of course I want to be proven wrong. I'd love to see this one be received well by the fans, maybe not as a CLASSIC LP that we'll still talk about 50 years later, but as a good Brian Wilson LP. So when everyone buys TLOS, take it as one more gift from probably the most creative musician alive today. | ||
| Re: Bambu track listing [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 27 Jun 2008 01:28 AM CDT I love making compilation CD's and sequencing them and everything, especially Beach Boys-related stuff. I like the way this one flows, musically and lyrically. So, here's my take on Bamboo....er Bambu: Very well done Sherriff, a great mix. I chose many of the same positions, though some are changed due to preference. I'll note those with asteriks.Side A 1. Time For Bed 2. Wild Situation 3. Are You For Real 4. Constant Companion 5. Cocktails 6. Under The Moonlight 7. I Love You 8. School Girl Side B 9. Morning Christmas (or Common, they both work) 10. He's A Bum 11. Love Surrounds Me 12. Baby Blue 13. It's Not Too Late 14. Album Tag Song 15. Love Remember Me 16. All Alone 1. Constant Companion* 2. Time For Bed 3. Wild Situation 4. Are You For Real 5. Under The Moonlight 6. Cocktails 7. I Love You 8. School Girl Side B 9. Common 10. He's A Bum** 11. Love Surrounds Me 12. Baby Blue 13. It's Not Too Late 14. Album Tag Song 15. All Alone 16. Love Remember Me*** *Just love this one as an opener, the intro just grabs you in. **After this one, it starts a kinda ballad-y end to the album. ***"All Alone" works as a great ender, (much the way "WIBNTLA" would've on Surf's Up after 'Til I die) thematic and reflective, but I just love "Love Remember Me" so much, it's working better as an ender to me. The fade "Love keeps comin' down" with that awesome guitar figure, is so emotional that I think Bambu should end with it. Plus "Love Remember Me" is kind-of a 'kiss off' message, really. I'm using "Tug of Love" on all my POB tapes now, liking it after "Rainbows," also putting "Only With You" after "Time," or possibly after "You and I" (maybe a double Love/Wilson collaboration?? ?). Oh no, I shouldn't get started, it's time for bed (no pun intended) (Oh, and I'm also an avid sequencer, did a great mid-late 70s Genesis comp not too long ago for a friend) | ||

| Re: Bambu track listing [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 27 Jun 2008 01:12 AM CDT Good call Mikey. I've thrown in a few 'sopsems' on my Bambu. (A) Sposem, if I can have Carl's vocal on Baby Blue then I can have Taylor's vocal on Holy Man. No arguments, it's my sposem. (B) Sposem Dennis did a Brian and dug back into his catalog then I can include Only With You . Again, no arguments, it's my sposem. Under 44 minutes for a two sided vinyl album: Side 1: 1. Time For Bed 2. Wild Situation 3. Only With You 4. All Alone 5. Love Remember Me 6. Morning Christmas Side 2: 1. Holy Man 2. Constant Companion 3. Schoolgirl 4. Baby Blue 5. Love Surrounds Me 6. He's A Bum Comments: * Kick arse way to start an album with Time For Bed and Wild Situation (almost sleezes in with a Tim Buckley, Greetings From LA feel). * Avoided putting All Alone as the last track because when DW was alive and Bambu came out no one would have had the prescient vision to put the track last - He's a Bum seems so much more autobiographical for the time. * It was hard leaving It's Not Too Late off but it does seem to be much more of a Beach Boys track than a DW solo track. * With the release of all the Bambu material Morning Christmas now has a home in which it belongs - its always been a sore thumb on any Beach Boys Christmas album. * Finally, I'm so happy that Under The Moonlight never has to be on MY version of "Bamboo" again, I've never dug the song. | ||

| Re: Bambu track listing [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 27 Jun 2008 12:05 AM CDT Well, from what was released on the Legacy Edition, and with one help from the MIU/LA two-fer, I managed to cobble together TWO 35-38 minute LPs. I did not try to make a double album as I'm QUITE sure Dennis thought nothing of double LPs in 1977-79. Cocktails Side A Time For Bed Tug Of Love (Feel The Pull) School Girl Love Remember Me Cocktails Side B Holy Man (instrumental) Are You Real Only With You Album Tag Piano Variations On Thoughts Of You A little backstory on why it appears I mixed tracks from both discs. All 10 tracks on this compilation are POB-era tracks. Sure, yeah, I expected the whole "DUDE, why cobble together an LP of leftovers?" thing. However, I do believe the quality of the tracks speak for themselves. This is an interesting listen, very laid back. Bambu Side A Wild Situation Under The Moonlight It's Not Too Late He's A Bum Common Love Surrounds Me Side B Constant Companion Mexico I Love You Baby Blue All Alone For my Bambu compilation, I specifically included tracks done outside of and AFTER the POB period. With careful research I have deduced that the 11 tracks on this LP are from post-POB sessions, and therefore, fits in with Dennis' idea of the "follow-up". For some reason however, Mexico was not included on disc 2 of the POB reissue when it was in fact not a POB outtake to the best of my knowledge (the date given is as early as October 1977), like Tug of Love, Only With You, and perhaps Holy Man (except Holy Man is a 1975 track so....hmmmm). | ||

| Re: Stickies [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 26 Jun 2008 10:57 PM CDT It just seems like a couple of them are for folks who don't or can't post much anymore. I don't think Desper has been around much lately. And the Peter Carlin book has come and gone. At the same time, I hate to lose the opportunity to have folks drop in if they want. Is there some way to just add a few more subject lines to each page? That might address some of the issue right there. | ||
| Re: Current Record Collector-issue [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 26 Jun 2008 10:36 PM CDT Yeah that Mike quote sound like the one from the 1992 Goldmine. Perhaps he just repeats himself if not. As far as what he said, he can say whatever he wants. If he started talking some PR bullmerda it would be false. I don't agree with him on many things, but he has the right to say them. | ||
| Re: TLOS Question (for Mr Doe in particular) [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 26 Jun 2008 09:59 PM CDT Well I think the whole idea it is not going to be another smile (heck even one of the band members said that, in public view of everyone!) I think they (Brian's camp) are looking at this more as an album, then say a 37 year old masterpiece which Smile was. I have tried not to listen to the live shows or demos because I want to hear the actual product and then compare and contrast another time. Regardless I think, Brian always has a trick up his sleeve for the followers of his music. | ||
| Re: 'Greatest musicians' finally get honor [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 26 Jun 2008 09:54 PM CDT That's great to see. And about time too!! | ||
| Re: brianwilson.com - New TLOS VIdeo [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 26 Jun 2008 09:53 PM CDT Lots of camera time with Brian and Scott and not much of anyone else... wonder how they all feel about that? I'm excited and I can't wait for this too, but I do agree with some of you it does sound a little... too processed? And for person blaming the Wondermints for all of this needs to shut their trap. Without them we would not have gotten a lot of things (for example... do we all remember SMiLE or is that becoming a distant memory for some of you?? Funny how times change...) I don't think it is right to really blame anyone. At the end of the day, it is how Brian feels about the work. From the looks of it here, he definately seems interested. | ||

| Re: Stickies [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 26 Jun 2008 09:40 PM CDT Maybe 1) we should figure out why some of the stickies aren't used anymore, and 2) find a good home for the unused ones, other than being lost in the sea of old threads. Might not be a bad idea to think about old threads and what should happen to them, too. | ||
