Whats that weird synthy noise in "Good Vibrations"? hows that done, I thought they only had wurlitzer organs on those days,

I reckon thats the track that first jumps to mind when I think of the Beach Boys,

you dumb bastards...

anyone with a brain knows its not a theramin and that its a tennarin.

the sound is not produced by air waves like a theramin but by running a piece of metal down a longer piece of metal completing the circuit and changing the pitch depending on where you place it. much like a stylophone but with portamento.

it was used on the record and not just for touring.

johnny greenwood is fond of using tannerins.

it also the device used to make the melody on the startrek theme.

btw...my fave beach boys song is 'thats not me'.

I was in Glasgow last week to watch BW and his band perform Smile. It was incredible to hear it as it's maker intended, three movements of sonic heaven. I strongly suggest that people download the album tracks or bootlegs of the recent London gigs.

According to pitchfork, the albums is finally being released this year!

My fave songs at the moment:

Cabinessence

Surfs Up

Fire (Mrs O'Leary's Cow)

doyne, doyne, doyne, doyne

Anything off Surfs Up (except Student Demonstration Time) is magic

'Till I Die and Feel Flows are both genius. Also have a soft spot for

Our Prayer and Forever which I think are on 20/20.

So much good output though - The Trader and Funky Pretty on

Holland are also great.

Although Brian was the visionary Carl & Dennis did some brilliant stuff and are often overlooked....
