| Re: Where's Al's album?? [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 16 Aug 2008 04:03 AM CDT I wonder if all the "real easons" are the same? |

| Re: Brian and Curt Boettcher [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 15 Aug 2008 11:41 PM CDT Not to my knowledge. Plays organ on one track, but AFAIK that's his sole contribution. |
| Re: Where's Al's album?? [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 15 Aug 2008 11:40 PM CDT Does anybody REALLY know why Al no longer continued on BW's tour? Yes.  AGD, please stop dangling the 'inside scoops" to us non-insiders. I had an 'insider'friend of Al email me the reason but I can't share it because it would violate his trust. But I don't go posting that I 'know' and leave it at that My advice is to put up or shut up; and not tease us on the board with info you won't share. As always, posted with the greatest respect to my favorite BB scholar :-) I always enjoy your posts!!!!!!!!! Did I say I knew ? Alan knows why, and I presume Brian knows why. |

| irish rock fans unite [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 15 Aug 2008 07:20 PM CDT Any Irish rock fans out there? Lovers of Them, Thin Lizzy, the Virgin Prunes, U2, the Pogues, Sinnead O'Connor, the Cranberries, et al? I just saw the film Once, with Glen Hansard of the Frames. I was absolutely floored by the performances. |
| Re: \ [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 15 Aug 2008 07:16 PM CDT Ernie Freeman's guys . . . Earle Palmer and Plas Johnson . . . great stuff. Central Avenue jazz, jump blues and R&B brought to the mainstream. It doesn't get any better. |
| Re: Brian and Curt Boettcher [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 15 Aug 2008 07:11 PM CDT This is a great topic that I'm going to revive for kicks. I just picked up the Curt "California Music" CD from Poptones that was released a few years ago (they also did the Gary Usher "Symphonic Tribute" to Brian release). Brian is credited as one of the list of the producers inside (along with Usher, Melcher and Johnston). But I'm only aware of him working on the WDFFIL cover (which oddly isn't on the release) and Jamaica Farewell. Did he actually have a hand in anything else that's on the CD? |
| Re: 'A World Of Peace Must Come' - it does! In September [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 15 Aug 2008 07:06 PM CDT I heard the "America I Know You" track and while it's not a lost classic, it is an interesting production and much different than anything else Brian was doing around that time. It is both orchestral and pastoral, a very relaxed song that has a little bit of an ethereal feel. Actually, it kind of reminds me of something Van Dyke Parks could have done. It is not really pop in any way, though. It will be really interesting to hear what other styles are explored on the whole album. |
| Re: 'A World Of Peace Must Come' - it does! In September [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 15 Aug 2008 06:44 PM CDT This is very exciting news! Sounds like it was conceived and recorded under inspired and spontaneous circumstances in the idealistic and utopian spirit of the era and may be imbued with that unmistakable and palpable enthusiasm and innocent feel heard in "Little Bird" and "Be Still" (at least as far as the two Dennis tracks are concerned). This kind of "vibe" is needed more than ever today, and if one of Brian's favorite songs is on it that alone is enough to generate GREAT anticipation! |
| New Recording Posted: "Matins" [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 15 Aug 2008 06:32 PM CDT I posted a new recording of a partly newly written song, "Matins." It's kind of an oddball song, weird combinations of chords and sounds. But I've liked it since its first incarnation back around 2002 or 2003, and I like it even more now. Hopefully someone else out there finds a little enjoyment from it. It's at myspace.com/thebeaumondes. Feel free to (freely) download it from there, if you'd like. |
| Re: The Alan Boyd Thread [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 15 Aug 2008 06:24 PM CDT Hi, This is my inaugural post so hello to everyone in the BB community. Like everyone, I am curious about the additional lyrics to "'Til I Die" that are known to exist, but unfortunately it would probably be a breach of protocol to post them here even if Alan knows them (don't mean to put words in his mouth, feel free to refute me if necessary). Hopefully all true fans will get to hear them some day, in written or (oh joy!) musical form. |

| Re: Where's Al's album?? [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 15 Aug 2008 02:45 PM CDT In answer to the title of the topic... "Waiting for a bus" Sorry, had to be said...  |
| Re: If you could bring a dead rock star back to life [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 15 Aug 2008 02:29 PM CDT Elvis... but wait, he isn't dead, is he?  I would love to see a Carl Perkins concert, too and Hank Williams |
| Re: The Little Girl I Once Knew [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 15 Aug 2008 02:20 PM CDT That passage is also quoted in a 2001 book, The Beatles As Musicians: The Quarry Men Through Rubber Soul by Walter Everett - there is a note, but the online version on Googlebooks omits that page of notes. Naturally. For them as needs to know, it's note 2 on page 276. |
| Re: The Little Girl I Once Knew [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 15 Aug 2008 02:05 PM CDT I was just wondering if someone could help me by telling me where this John Lennon quote comes from? This comes from Lennon's appearance on one of those UK "rate a record" TV shows in '65...They played new releases and had celebs "grade" them...I think it was Juke Box Jury. Taken from page 218 of Inside The Music Of Brian Wilson: "This is the greatest! Turn it up, turn it right up. It's GOT to be a hit. It's the greatest record I've heard for weeks. It's fantastic. I hope it will be a hit. It's all Brian Wilson. He just uses the voices as instruments. He never tours or does anything. He just sits at home thinking up fantastic arrangements out of his head. Doesn't even read music. You keep waiting for the fabulous breaks. Great arrangement. It goes on and on with all different things. I hope it's a hit so I can hear it all the time." |
| Re: The Little Girl I Once Knew [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 15 Aug 2008 01:59 PM CDT Nice to know Lennon liked this track! |
