...by the way anyone knows who's supposed to be the guy between Marlene Dietrich and Fidel Castro on the cover?

Looks like Mr. Dylan to me.

Here are some random pictures of Brian -- because I have so little else to do. I note that Brian seems noticeably more upbeat with a lady around.

Re: Help - MIDI sequencers [Smiley Smile Message Board]

Audacity is a WAV-editing program, but they have an option to import MIDIs.

The computer is not registering anything from the keyboard, but I can play MIDIs on the computer through the keyboard. But that's the opposite of what I want.

It selling so much would be an indicator of merda, as far as my observations show. Generally speaking, I'd say commercial success is not directly related, unless it is inversely proportionate to, quality.

I wanna hold your hand - The Beatles

Can't stand that song. It's terrible. I wonder how in the world that song could sell so much....

Re: Brian's mental history [Smiley Smile Message Board]

Maybe Brian's tendency to talk out of one side and his deafness are related because he has nerve damage?  His deafness was diagnosed as nerve damage-caused, and the facial nerves branch out of some of the nerves related to hearing.  Maybe the particular nerve that's damaged that caused the deafness branches to the facial muscle on that side of his face. 

If that was the case, he'd be unable to produce a symmetrical smile. It would be lop-sided.
He still can produce a symmetrical smile as we see in the recent photos.

But I have seen a couple of photos where he had a lopsided smile, where he's smiling on one side and the other side of his mouth doesn't.  It might be more of a weakness on one side than total damage.  What caused it is not clear, or whether it is related to the hearing loss, or it's just a coincidence it's on the same side.

I'm heading to your website right now. I've really appreciated the notes on the Today and Summer Days sessions:  a real labour of love for which I thank you. Good luck with future installments!

i wasnt aware audacity had midi, i thought it was a wav editing program...

Rather than leave you with silence (but obvious views), I'll answer, anyway: nope, can't help. I've never used Audacity and haven't used MIDI in about 10 years. I can try, though. When you play, is the computer recognizing that there is something being played/recorded, but you just can't hear it? Or is it not registering as creating anything at all?

Re: Original SMiLE Cover? [Smiley Smile Message Board]

Posted: 09 Aug 2008 12:16 PM CDT

There's a Capitol memo dated 11/14/66 sent to Queens Litho NYC which says:

CHANGE STEREO BAR ON T-2580 BEACH BOYS TO DUOPHONIC BAR FROM T-2545. IT PRINTS ALL BLACK.

Therefore, the cover we all know and love is not, in fact, the one that was going to be released.

T-2545 was Best Of The Beach Boys.
