Hello!

Hey everyone,

I've finally got a minute to sit down and give a quick update.

First off, I am not burning in hell. I am however enjoying the summer very much and I hope everyone has been checking out all the new beach boys blogs out there. They're all great and I'm going to try to link up to them as soon as I can.

My laptop is still without a cord. But I am getting a universal cord for free off of my friend, which is awesome.

I am aware that some of the uploads have expired and are not working. I have been responding to all of my emails and have been keeping track of what I need to do. Remember that you can always email me. Thanks again, and I will fix these problems soon.

Fourthly, I got the Carpenters first album on vinyl at Savers in Providence a few days ago for $1. I love it so much. Go find it.

Fifthly, I just want to say thanks to everyone for still checking out my blog, even during my months of hiatus. I do plan on getting back into the swing of things as soon as I can. I'm just glad some other fans have decided to step up and share their stuff too. It makes me feel less guilty.



Anyway, I should mention, while I have some time, I have been finding a whole bunch of great new music this summer, and rediscovering some great bands too. If you have some time you should find these bands.


+ The Explorer's Club
+ The High Llamas
+ Sufjan Stevens
+ Harper's Bizarre
+ Rediscover


And I found a very hard to get album from the most beautiful pop band in the world, Majestic. The album is 1999's "Live It Up!". This band started in the early 90's in BREA, California. Really, there is nothing I can do to describe how gorgeous this band's instrumentations and vocal harmonies are. Just take a listen to "Wonderful" and "Say Dee La". You're about to have a new favorite band.

Hello everyone,

Sorry it's been so long. My laptop cord has not been replaced yet, but they're going for $65 over at Circuit City, so hopefully I'll get it working again soon. But I have been enjoying my internet-free life lately. I've been recording some music with friends and replaying some old video games. This has been the perfect summer so far!

Anyway,

I just checked back here and realized some people are very upset over something! I'm not quite sure what, but then again there probably is no reason.

But I offer you a choice, simply download the music and enjoy it, OR don't. I'm sorry if the Beach Boys have some how hurt your feelings, but please contain your anonymous insults if you can and leave me out of it. Regardless, thank you for all your visits to the page and comments, pleasant or otherwise. I think its great that this is a (very small) place to discuss music and ethics. I really do appreciate it, and a good roast is always welcome.

This will probably be the last time I ever address negative comments on this blog ever again. So for the rest of you whom I made this page for, there will be new downloads soon! Especially smile stuff.

Ok! I just felt like I had to do a quick update just to let you all know I'm not gone forever. I'll be at the beach this weekend, soaking up the sun. Have a great weekend!

I regret to inform you

The power cord for my laptop is destroyed.

I only have a little bit of battery life left, so I thought I would let everyone know, I won't be able to upload any bootlegs until I can buy/borrow a new cord. (Considering every Beach Boys file I own is on this laptop).

I'm really sorry! The cord has been taped up for about a year, and then today it suddenly stopped working. So it's time to have a chat with my dad and see if/when he will buy a new one. I guess I need a job. =(

In the meantime, you should check out the California Dreamin' Blog and Silverphial's blog. (They're both on the links on the right). Oh! And leave me some comments.

Cocaine Sessions And Some Other Things

Here are the infamous Cocaine Sessions with Brian and Dennis Wilson from 1981.

Tracklisting:

 1. Yeahhh
 2. Oh Lord
 3. City Blues
 4. Piano
 5. You've Been Part 1
 6. You've Been Part 2
 7. I Feel So Fine
 8. Heroes And Villains

 + an interview with Brian
 

These demos are worth owning for one reason, and one reason alone - Oh Lord. This song can best be explained by this quote from a fan site.

"Oh Lord, DW, Brian Wilson, ca.1982. Originally recorded in demo form during the infamous Brian/Dennis sessions at Village Recorders 81-82.(Stebbins p.208) After Dennis' death, Brian re-worked this track w/ Culture Club producer Steve Levine in July 1984 for possible inclusion on what would become "the Beach Boys" 1985.(Doe, liner notes: The Beach Boys). It did not make it to the final cut, and remains unreleased"

Really, this is an incredible song, and I love it to death. It still sends shivers down my spine when I hear that line "Make me sad, for everything, let me see, what there is to see." A criminally underrated Dennis Wilson song that was recorded and still remains unreleased.

Dutch Beach Boys Lost Songs

It's no secret. The Dutch Beach Boys Blog has changed to the Jan and Dean Blog. So all of their Beach Boys stuff has disappeared, so I'm going to make a good effort to try to post everything that was lost.

2 versions of the song In my room 1996 version with tammy wynette

i found this on the web. Its just fantastic. Here is what the fan made, enjoy it. Dont know how long its availible.

-------------------------------------------------------

As a fan of both country music and the Beach Boys, this duet with Tammy Wynette (which was supposed to go on "Stars & Stripes vol. 2") is truly a precious gem.There's been a released version, on the 1998 "Tammy Remembered" CD. But that version, while it featured Tammy's voice recorded in 1996, featured Brian alone on backing vocals. Still, it was already great......But that was before I bought the "Nashville Sounds" DVD, on which you can hear harmonies done by the Beach Boys, and not Brian alone! This version being even greater, I decided to record it from the DVD to make a mp3 of it. So that's what I did. There was a small problem with the intro, because the one on the DVD is "spoiled" by Brian, who talks about the song... So I took the intro from the "Tammy Remembered" version, and modified it a bit (because for some reason, the "Tammy Remembered" version had been sped-up, which caused a key change). I also had to do some editing with the end, so that it wouldn't sound "abrupt".

"My" version, featuring Beach Boys vocals: <---REMOVED--->

Woah.

So anyway, I had a pretty superb weekend. I spent some time with my college friend Cody and my girlfriend Rachel and aside from sleeping in a car Sunday night, the weekend was good. Here's a photo!





Anyway, sorry big time for messing up that last entry and screwing up the links and yada. It was just all bad vibes. But I'm fixing it all up right now with a band-aid and it will all be better in a couple hours.

I'll be fixing the links as they get uploaded. Everything is going to be in 2 parts, then I'm going to keep uploading some new albums for everyone.

***also, the dutch beach boys website, which is operated by CASIO has been changed to the Jan and Dean Blog. He doesn't focus on the Beach Boys anymore. So I will fix the link and if you are into Jan and Dean you should check his blog out and be a cool guy.***

Ok, see ya soon - eric

Just A Heads Up

If you don't head over to Casio's blog this week, you're going to miss out on 3 of the best beach boys rarities albums ever made.

http://dutchbeachboyssite.blogspot.com/

Don't delay!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------
EDIT!!!!!!

It seems the files have disappeared, I managed to get them in time. I will upload them myself shortly. (Unless there is some good reason why they were taken down in the first place)

Worry not friends.
-----------------------------------------------------------
EDIT 2!!!!!!!!!!

Well, casio took those fan albums down because he didn't have permission from the maker of the albums.

Well, I don't think that fan had permission from the beach boys to make them either. So I am going to host it, in my belief that no one except the beach boys could legally do anything about it, and everyone should be able to have these great songs.

Hey

I'm working on something really big! Just wait until it's done.
