50,000 - Tim's Smile - One Year

Hi again!

Eric here, once again keeping you up to date on all of the creative works of Beach Boys fans, to consistently present you with a unique listening experience of one of the greatest American bands of all time.

This time our friend Tim brings us his own version of SMiLE. To his credit it is a long and completionist version with excellent artwork of the original booklet. However, some static and awkward starts (for instance, the start of Holidays) make for a rather bland listen, but it still contains quite a few rare tracks and a couple of cool, unique mixes. This one is worthy of a true SMiLE collection.

Did I mention it's in .FLAC??!

I'm so glad I haven't been shut down and that I've been able to share this much stuff with fans from all over the world. I've received hundreds and hundreds of emails from all of you and I truly appreciate it!

SMiLE Sheet Music

Hi there everyone!

My next post on this blog is going to be more of a project (similar to the one sentence reviews and how it took me a few days to finish it), but this time I will be posting sheet music from the original SMiLE album (because someone asked me to do it).

Perhaps some of you remember that I was working on a documentary a few months back? Well I gave up on it, mostly because my laptop is not good enough to handle making movies and doesn't have the storage that I need to hold all of those clips and sound bites. I tried, but it ended up near destroying my computer. However, it could still happen in the future if i get bored enough and/or inspired enough!

ANYWAY!

This is going to be a mammoth undertaking to figure out songs, sheet music-ify them, and post them here. (It's a lot of HTML!) So please bear with me for a while. I will be taking the MIDI files from the Project Smile disc and using a program called MidiNotate to notate them to sheet music. Please note, the sheet music is not perfect (for example, piano tracks are limited to either the bass or treble clef only, not both), so for that I apologize. I still hope a lot of you musicians will be able to get something out of this!

NOW TO GET STARTED!

More coming tomorrow, but for now I'm too sleepy. This took 4 hours!

The Beach Boys, The Devil and Insane Rants

Hey everyone! Eric here!

Now usually I will inform you of some kind of interesting news, or link you to some kind of download. However, that will not happen today! Today I am going to share with you some epic laughs.

Through searching the web I ran across a website run by a religious fanatic named David J. Stewart. He continually rants about the Beach Boys supposed connection to the devil and the evils of rock and roll music in general (did this guy ever see Foot Loose?).

You can read the entire article HERE, but if you don't have enough time to read through all that nonsense, please read some of these very humorous quotes.

"Everyone reading this article needs to be warned about the evil music of Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys. Obviously, Wilson is NOT a born again Christian; but, rather, is a child of Satan (Ephesians 2:2)"

"SMiLE was the result of Wilson's LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) ,"acid," drug highs. Interestingly, the modern word for "Pharmaceutical" comes from the same Old Testament Hebrew word "sorcery." Drugs have been used by the Devil's crowd for thousands of years as a medium for demonic influence"

"In 1966, the Beach Boys came out with their album, Pet Sounds. Please notice the goats which they are feeding. This is no coincidence, the goat represents Satan"

"Oh listen friend, you have absolutely no idea how much Satan has infiltrated commercial music (including rock, rap, country, etc). Dolly Parton recently sang and re-popularized one of the most demonic songs ever written, Led Zeppelin's, Stairway to Heaven. How evil and demonic!"

"Brian Wilson and his music are of the Devil."

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! After such an informal read I'll be sure to keep my eyes peeled for those pesky demons infesting my Good Vibrations.
