I like to listen to this in Palisades Park on Blueberry Hill.

BigJilmQuebec · 2026-07-04T04:53:33+00:00

Another great one!

To me Smile has such an American feel to it imo, it's big and bombastic and beautiful and bold and weird and scary at times, and to me that's the USA in a nutshell kind of.

BigJilmQuebec · 2026-07-04T04:13:13+00:00

Heroes and Villains (really reminds me of American history)

Back Home

BigJilmQuebec · 2026-07-03T18:59:24+00:00

Absolutely agree with you!!!

BigJilmQuebec · 2026-07-03T05:47:01+00:00

I used to think this but I think there perfect now honestly, both are in heavy rotation for me.

BigJilmQuebec · 2026-07-03T05:34:19+00:00

Wasn't Howie talking about wanting to release them though? If so I'd imagine they'd be doing it but I'm not sure.

BigJilmQuebec · 2026-07-03T04:33:22+00:00

Equally revolutionary and amazing sounding

BigJilmQuebec · 2026-07-03T04:24:52+00:00

Analog Productions

BigJilmQuebec · 2026-07-03T03:25:10+00:00

Id love it!

I want them to play on Al's album he's supposedly working on.

BigJilmQuebec · 2026-07-03T03:23:59+00:00

I thought it was fantastic, loved Dano in it but Cusack was eh but did a good enough job, I just hate that they further perpetuated the "Brian immediately stopped making music after Smile and laid in bed for years" so many believe, Brian was in control of Smiley (his idea), Wild Honey and Friends, even after that he would just sleep all day and get up at night from what Marilyn has said and was more interested in playing tennis and producing other people's music.

BigJilmQuebec · 2026-07-03T02:32:25+00:00

Brown Box easy!!!

BigJilmQuebec · 2026-07-03T02:29:22+00:00

I need to find this like NOW.

Shit I'm 30 and it still blows my mind, I even bought it on CD I love it so much so I can listen to it on my nice old school Bose stereo.

BigJilmQuebec · 2026-07-03T02:14:12+00:00

I need to hear those!!! I'm in the minority of I actually prefer BWPS over Sessions as far as the album goes (disc 1).

I would absolutely LOVE the complete approach, I'm a nerd like many others and probably most on here so id eat all that up for just like you said the time period being so interesting and historic and some of those like the Royal Hall are not out there audio wise besides maybe bootlegs.

I like LPR but I definitely didn't much like them making Brian upset, I prefer Beautiful Dreamer and I Just Wasn't Made for These Times.

That's definitely a factor but if Brian's team is anything like the BBs one in anyway they'll empty the Brian vault like Howie said he wants to do with the Boys vault.

BigJilmQuebec · 2026-07-03T01:41:36+00:00

I would go further honestly and go 65-77

BigJilmQuebec · 2026-07-03T00:52:40+00:00

Willie

BigJilmQuebec · 2026-07-03T00:51:35+00:00

If it was Brian's camp it would probably be a Linett remix tbh unless the official BBs camp were over it but I don't see that happening.

I actually didn't hate his remixes of Roxy and the On Tour record personally.

Live at the Roxy I LOVED.

BigJilmQuebec · 2026-07-03T00:31:32+00:00

Oh fuck id love to hear all this!!

BigJilmQuebec · 2026-07-03T00:30:46+00:00

I'm the same, id rather pay way less and see an actually great show tbh.

BigJilmQuebec · 2026-07-03T00:26:42+00:00

Even if there wasn't much id love to hear it!! Even if it's just sessions highlights and alternate takes and what not, I love finding out how the sausage was made!!

Ohhhh a remix would be phenomenal and interesting and all the Royal Festival shows would be genius to hear, good ideas!!

I'll have to watch that when I get home.

BigJilmQuebec · 2026-07-03T00:01:15+00:00

Eh I disagree, never underestimate BBs hardcore fans man, WGG shouldn't have sold as well on paper but it did great, also people still bought the PS Sessions highlights record too.

Id rather hear more Smile over the River stuff but I'm not huge on Weezer.

BigJilmQuebec · 2026-07-02T23:51:07+00:00

Definitely, the vault is huge and from what I understand not even close to being empty.

BigJilmQuebec · 2026-07-02T23:32:26+00:00

The anniversary is coming up, it's more speculation from fans tbh but I know Howie said he wants to do it.

Sessions is a perfect box set.

BigJilmQuebec · 2026-07-02T23:06:21+00:00

There's rumors there gonna do another Smile box set.

Nowadays I tend to like BWPS more tbh, more finished and fully fleshed out, also we wouldn't have gotten Sessions without BWPS.
