It's About Time: Beach Boys Poll Results

"Dog Barking Session" is a hoot BTW - "hey Chuck, can we bring in a horse?"

Love and Mercy is a nice track.

it's a staple live, pretty sure it's one of his favorite songs

I love "Love & Mercy" & think of it for reasons I'm not sure I can explain as a sister to "Let The Wind Blow"

I always thought "Your Imagination" was a bit of a rehash of L&M - same descending bass line, etc.

I'm the only fan of Rio Grande? One For the Boys?

I like Rio Grande too. Especially the "i want the river to take me home" etc. part and the following "night bloomin' jasmin" section that follows it. As I said upthread, quite Smilesque.

"Night Bloomin' Jasmine" was from 1980 (Cocaine Sessions, IIRC) -- which is largely why it sounds better than everything else's in the suite.

Rio Grande's great. I ought to try that Brian Wilson solo more. I remember it being quite good.

I'm a big fan of 'baby let your hair grow long'...kinda love you esque

this is one that just missed the cut

^^ this is one of several songs I have trouble convincing my friends that it's really the Beach Boys

I think the tape was slowed down on this one and "It's Over Now" to obtain a deeper-sounding voice?

Figured I'd bump this thread to ask this since its been the most active Beach Boys thread recently. Is there any particular reason why the M.I.U./L.A. (Light Album) two-fer is OOP? I was curious because I see that it was reissued with the same batch of all those other two-fers back in 2001, but only seems to be available by spending like $100 for a new copy or $40 used, while all the other reissues are really easy to track down. Is it because they are that awful? Do we blame nefarious Mike Love shenanigans?

Also, just want to thank you guys for this thread. I've long been one of those guys that only owns Pet Sounds and took for granted all the early surf, girls, and cars stuff without exploring any deeper. Since this thread concluded I've bought and immersed myself in everything from Today! up to Surf's Up. Going to order the Carl/Holland and 15 Big Ones/Love You sets soon as well. Love this stuff.

It's probably because those albums are awful. Then again, Keepin the Summer Alive/BB85 is still available for cheap.

Don't forget the Smile Sessions ships this tues.!

Ooh, I have a copy of this. Wanna buy it? £100.

Seriously, if someone wants to give me $80 for that crappy CD then it's all yours. Completism be damned...

I'll stick to my vinyl copy, with lyric sheets to sing along with "Matchpoint of Our Love"

Yeah the only half-decent/half memorable tracks on this are Diane from MIU (a real stinker of an album). LA is slightly better, with Good Timin', Lady Lynda, Full Sail, Angel Come Home and of course Here Comes The Night (Disco Version) being saved from the late '70s toilet.

cavs will be hosting the NBA finals at the Q on that date iirc

couldn't pay me to watch them at this point

$1250 will get you in the weirdos and Mike Love thread

I would see brian wilson solo again, if it were cheap

foster the people are rumored to be opening

:-0

okay I would pay $95 to see mike love do 'pumped up kicks'

only seems to be available by spending like $100 for a new copy or $40 used, while all the other reissues are really easy to track down. Is it because they are that awful?

this is totally inexplicable to me and must have only happened in the last few years. I bought the CD twofer for a few bucks about 5 years ago.

student demonstration kicks

pumped up kicks would seg really well into do it again

Are all the other Wilsons still dead? This seems like a lot of money for only 1/3 of the Wilsons.

no dennis isn't dead anymore

he's the drummer in gay dad now

it's a ton of money but w/e. gonna grow a beard for this tbh
