you realize good vibrations, released on smiley smile, is the best song that came out of the sessions named for it. these sessions of course being the follow up to pet sounds, and thus some of the most important sessions in the history of rock, because this is about where brian wilson went insane.
i think you haven't listened to good vibrations since you were six and just decided to say something that sounded funny in your head but ended up showing that you barely paid attention in a fucking music school. MUSIC SCHOOL. i mean, c'mon.
seriously, the song's really good. and jimmy buffet still sucks. and these two sentences do not contradict each other at all.

what does the historical significance of the song have to do with its quality? you really sit there bobbing your head to good vibrations going "yeah man, you can really hear the pain. you can feel that brian's on a precipice here"??
its good vibrations for christ's sake. on the surface its a boogie song about a girl. at its deepest its about tripping.
I think YOU'RE one of those people that thinks brian wilsons a genius just because he cracked up. like there's any truth to that bullshit about the line between genius and insanity.
i'm not questioning their importance. i'm just saying if there's a beach boys song that should be required listening, its not good vibrations.
and the history of rock was an elective.

you said it was what spawned jimmy buffet. i think country music spawned jimmy buffet.
good vibrations is amazing on its own merits. you brought up the lineage.

whens the last time you listened to it? here's a prescription from dr. niv, you angry idiot.
that irony was lost on everyone but you, me, and geoff.
re: my fault
from: zach (2005-02-25 14:05:55)
yeah, i didn't mean musically or artistically.
i meant comercially.
since i'm a capitalist pig.
see: "...never would have heard margaritaville" as in, never would have made it to the radio or the stores.
re: the thing is
from: niv (2005-02-25 14:12:44)
you're an artist too.
kind of.
speaking of which
where is your art?
anyways, i'd like to hear your suggestion. i hope its margaritaville.

i thought cutting crew sang i just died in your arms tonight
re: touche
from: zach (2005-02-28 08:54:07)
that they did.
i'm a fraud.
in case you didn't know.
that being said, my real required listening is So What from Miles Davis' Kind of Blue. and then the rest of that ablum. especially All Blues.
re: holy shit
from: niv (2005-02-28 10:25:58)
very nice z. as thad can attest to, i had a huge jazz swing soph year, we woke up to jazz every day (and even went to classes!!!)
i keep forgetting that you're a sick saxaphonist. is that right usage? anyways, props on that. kind of blue is my favorite miles cd too, but probably for much simpler reasons than why you like it.
re: BUFFETT SUCKS.
from: Joe (2005-03-13 14:08:04)
JIMMY BUFFETT COMPLETELY SUCKS!!! HIS GAY ASS TIRED FAGGY BEACH TROPICAL ISLAND MUSIC IS NOTHING MORE THAN SHIT! HE SUCKS! ASK ANY GOOD OLD AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE AND HE'LL TELL YOU THE SAME. BUFFETT SUCKS ASS.

Jus type in 320 for bitrate on Limewire and you'll find best of the best .... The Boys are there too
re: niv is contradictory
you give jimmy buffet shit for the inanity of his songs (not that i disagree with you on that) and then say good vibrations is required listening?
are you insane?
good vibrations is the worst, most inane beach boys song ever. its the height of inanity. without good vibrations, margaritaville would have never been heard. cheeseburger in paradise is the illigitimate bastard child of good vibrations. good vibrations is the mother rat, and all of jimmy buffets songs are her teeming offspring.
i think i'm done.
yeah. i'm done.
