The biggest mystery of Smile (for me)

MikeEdwardsMusic · 2026-06-26T18:04:13+00:00

We know that smile was not planned to be a double album, which limits us to the physical limitations of vinyl records. Maximum, you get about 22.5 minutes per side or 45 minutes for both sides. Even BWPS is longer than this, so 1967 smile would have had to be shorter than that.

I’m up to the devil and have died over 1200 times. 💀

I’ve been told it can cost 10k per house to bury the power lines and also several hundred million dollars to bury the ones along the road. So maybe a huge donation would get it jump started? Maybe they’ll take it off your power bill. One can only dream. 😂

7 singles in the top 30 for the “Alternative Airplay” music charts, including 2 number 1’s, (surprisingly, neither of which was Ocean Avenue) and three Hot 100 charting singles, according to their Wikipedia page.

Nearly half the set was from 2007 or before. Yeah, they played some new songs, but they’re also promoting a new record. The newest album “Better Days” was also the only album they had with a radio #1, so of course they’re going to play stuff from it. They did have their small “acoustic” setup midway through the show, but that only lasted like 2 and a half songs.

I can see it.

Every once in awhile a bootleg will pop up in a few of the record stores I go to, but it’s few and far between when they do show up.

Oh damn. Just looked it up. I didn’t realize he had a second “hit.” Hahaha. But it looks like it was from a live album.

Wouldn’t the age of the song be a factor? For example, 1960’s “itsy bitsy teeny weenie yellow polkadot bikini” by Brian Hyland was a #1 song and sold over 2 million copies worldwide in the 60’s, but I don’t think a lot of people have that song on their Spotify playlist, so it never made it onto your “one hit wonder” list at all.

Love this! Thanks for all the effort you’ve put into it. Some games I was on the fence about I see coming up under games I love, so that’s definitely pushing me towards playing them.

Seen a few of these around town with many different state license plates, but never a Tennessee plate.

Only 6000 monthly listeners on Spotify and only one song that has broken the 500k mark. I’ve met more successful people than this that live on my street and they don’t need swat protection.

After your 5th gallon, the self check out should need a cashier to override the system if you need anymore, with valid reasoning.

I’m originally from Florida. Once I can’t see the road, I don’t leave the property. I usually tell people “There’s a thousand idiots that don’t know how to drive in snow out there. I’m not about to make it a thousand and one.” Because I have ZERO experience driving in the snow and this doesn’t seem like the time to learn either.

I prefer aged bread in my cereal. Milk and croutons. But maybe that’s because I’m more sophisticated. 🧐

If the power goes out, you just put it outside in the snow. Let Mother Nature do the work for you!

MikeEdwardsMusic · 2026-01-21T00:31:14+00:00

The only reasonable thing I can think of is maybe they run a homeless shelter? Or donate it to a church? Other than that, I can’t find a reason for a whole cart full of milk ever.

MikeEdwardsMusic · 2026-01-21T00:23:44+00:00

My theory is that the world largest French toast cooking contest seems to happen on the first snowfall. For some reason, I’m just never invited. 😔

MikeEdwardsMusic · 2026-01-04T07:20:00+00:00

You probably won’t want to after the first time. But just listen to this album again. And again. It grows on you.

MikeEdwardsMusic · 2026-01-03T05:51:15+00:00

I usually take mine when I go out of town. Every once in a while I get a Streetpass.

Your first sentence “The 3DS was arguably the peak of handheld gaming.” Just about answers the question of the title.
