Why is he using Opera mobile on the Galaxy S 2?

@macroverD4 It doesn't look anything like a Range Rover's interior. Using leather and aluminum =! copying

@AdamCartwrightILoveU Optical illusion. Elton tends to raise his right eyebrow when he's singing (many singers do something of the sort because it tenses up the muscles and allows for more impact in your singing voice), and, couple that with the big sunglasses...

@LondonItalian There already is a replacement program for the original format. It's called Fifth Gear.

@mellonquendi It's more like "who notices it and who doesn't" rather than "what phone has it and what phone doesn't". You're just more receptive to noticing it than other people - and there have been reports of lag both on the Galaxy S II and the Galaxy Nexus.

No, there is no way to turn off th...

@Danielkchoi Coca Cola gets its name from the Coca leaf (which is used to make cocaine and contains a small amount of it per leaf) and the kola nut, which was originally a source for caffeine and, by all accounts, no longer used.

Seattle happened in '70. Brian was replacing a sick Mike for some odd reason or another. Too bad the only source for that concert is a shitty audience recording.

@karolsc1000 And that whole "being built in Detroit" thing...

It doesn't matter because Clarkson simply says these things to rile people up. Anyone who's seen Motorworld or a few choice episodes of Old Top Gear (or the reviews for the Dodge Viper, or the second American special...) would underst...

Not Top Gear, it's actually Jeremy Clarkson's Motorworld.

@MisterPeetBull They don't rag on American cars anymore than any other country. Clarkson, Hammond, and May have all praised American cars in the past.

@jml8841 He said that more than a decade afterward, when Shadows and T-Series Bentleys were less used cars and more classics.

@northberlin Because most acetates are known for being in stereo, right?

Brian and Carl share co-writer's credits on Little Pad. So it could be borrowed, or it could be a collab wherein Carl reused from old chords from Tune X.

@peterp21 Brian already had been institutionalized by that point - back in 1968, before he was released because it didn't do much help at all, and perhaps made things worse (there's a reason why his productivity dropped between Friends and 20/20). A lot of people like to point fingers at his fami...

Brian was the brains, Dennis was the soul, Carl was the heart.

@briney1973 The mix on the Smile Sessions version was never Brian's - it was entirely Mark Linnett and Alan Boyd's. Heroes and Villains changed shape so many times it's not even funny. The original May 1966 version apparently contained You Are My Sunshine, the later 1966 version used I'm in Great...

I have the weirdest boner right now.

@Vincecouk Decline of Brian my ass. Are you one of those people who still hold the tired notion that he "went to bed" immediately after SMiLE, ignoring Wild Honey, Friends, half of 20/20, Sunflower, and Surf's Up?

@westy40 The Beach Boys were pushing toward putting Dennis up front in the late 60's. But then the deal with Charles Manson happened and...

You can't remove TouchWiz just by deleteing the launcher and replacing it with a different one. The underlying frameworks of the phone still use TouchWiz. The only way to properly get rid of TouchWiz is to flash an AOSP or AOSP based ROM like CyanogenMod (and even then, it still uses Samsung's dr...

Nice Model M.

Wow, this is a really good mix. I like the way you used the Smiley Smile chorus vocals with the Cantina mix verse.

Redguards are more northern African/Berber than "true" Africans anyway.

That's not even commenting on the stupidity of comparing a fictional race to a real one in a game where there's cat and lizard people and racist High Elves and dragons that have sentience where the existence of God figures i...

Your vocals sound a tad too processed for my liking, but most everything else is solid.

I think the guitar playing is a little too "show-offy" (especially in the tag) to suit the mood of the melancholy and apocalyptic Surf's Up.

@Gator1224 That's because this session dates from the "Little Girl I Once Knew" sessions... in 1965. The only reason it's on the boxset is because bootleggers put it on their Smile tracklistings, mistaking it for a lost track.

@predlycon The original verse vocals for Heroes and Villains were wiped over, rerecorded by Brian. They're lost forever, save for acetate mixes like the "Cantina" mix used here for Pt. 1.

The single mix for Vega-Tables is the exact same save for the "Cornucopia" demo vocals flown in. As for why ...

Fraudulent and homosexual.

Love the way they did the "Smile Shop" store front.

@pluginhoney Van Dyke left of his own accord around March 1967, after the project started to collapse. Mike really had nothing to do with it (the objections he had to Cabinessence weren't near enough to make him leave). The rest is pretty much spot on, but hear this: All these things were true fo...

This is Brian singing to the string section on Don't Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder) to dictate how it went.

@KreeshaMe #1 in the UK isn't good enough for you?

@peterp21 The Beach Boys were done no matter what they did. The retro craze they abused for Endless Summer and 15 Big Ones was dead by 1977. The fact that MIU only charted at #151 whilst Come Go With Me became a hit three years later despite being on the same album really proves it - the buying p...

@iferraro He can in fact still sing the falsetto (listen to his cover of "Heaven" for proof).

@clibinarius The only live recording (from '71) we have of Brian on "Tree", he's playing the organ, not singing. That myth was started on the old SmileShop board by someone who had misheard his tape. Jack Riley is the lead on that.

I'd just like to interject for a few small moments. What you're referring to as "Mac", is in fact, OSX, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Darwin/XNU. "Mac" is not an operating system unto itself, but rather, a personal computer branding characterized by marketing, marketing, marketing, and...

@gongadin1 They just did.

@Okiemom50 Probably Brian trying to sing badly intentionally. He had a huge range.

@tigeralitiger Of course it's on "all Nexuses". They're all running the exact same hardware, the exact same software.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as "iPhone", is in fact, "iOS", or as I've recently taken to calling it, "iOS". "iPhone" is not an operating system unto itself, but rather, a specific branding of smartphone.

@m1kewithaone That was how it was done back then. Musicians had to work their asses off. They had to tour and record and tour and record and tour and were given maybe a week of rest the whole damn year. You can actually hear the Beatles lamenting on that in the Anthology docs. Whilst they didn't...

I would absolutely LOVE to see a kid fool Penn and Teller.
