Classic, subby. +1

Well played. Well played.

Nice.

just how old do you have to be to get this joke?

*cocks pistol*

Submit it again, better this time.

BlackVampyre unavailable for questions

Somewhere Brian Wilson is smiling.

i do so miss lana

'I wish I had a nickel for every joint Brian Wilson smoked trying to work out how to get my "Be My Baby" sound,' he jokes.

Now that is just mean.

I don't get it.

just how old do you have to be to get this joke?

Evidently older than me.

Pay very close attention, I shall say this only wance!

/cheers!

I wasn't around when this happened either, but my understanding is that one person submitted scores and scores of Phil Spector links, and eventually a moderator (or even Drew himself?) wrote on the main page that if he submitted one more Phil Spector link, he would be banned forever.



That's my understanding, anyway. Feel free to correct me or give additional info.

Moses To Sandy Koufax: That's my understanding, anyway. Feel free to correct me or give additional info.

...you should probably just Let It Be.

;-)

It's a reference to a flurry of Newsflash links from one user about a story about Phil Spector.

Drew submitted his own newsflash telling the user that if he submitted one more newsflash about Phil Spector, Drew was banning his ass permanently.

It's an old Fark in-joke from about four years ago.

Electrifying!

Classic. Screencap for those who missed it:

But why isn't The Sun there?

For those of you who were not around the first (5 or 6) times.

"Spectorization" relates to the following:

Outtaphase: Classic. Screencap for those who missed it:

See what I get for downloading it, cropping it so it fits current fark image restrictions, and then hosting it on my own site?

SmackLT: Drew submitted his own newsflash telling the user that if he submitted one more newsflash about Phil Spector, Drew was banning his ass permanently.

No, I'm pretty sure Drew just changed the headline of one of Blackvampyr's submissions, instead of submitting his own.

Shadow Blasko: See what I get for downloading it, cropping it so it fits current fark image restrictions, and then hosting it on my own site?

I made that cap before the restrictions. Will pay better attention to preview next time.

Win, subby. Nice use of "safe words." >^-^

A friend of mine got a mug for Christmas from Phil Spector, it had the bill of rights on it. When you put hot liquid into it the bill of rights disappeared.

I was amused.

I tried this joke a few months back. Didn't work. Sigh.

Tonight I start a list.

A list for the best headlines of 2008.

This has to be the work of 40below. And it was good. +1

Nice headline.

GoGamecocks: 'I wish I had a nickel for every joint Brian Wilson smoked trying to work out how to get my "Be My Baby" sound,' he jokes.

Well, Phil got that sound once. Brian surpassed Spector and made a bunch of great records, including possibly the best records of the 20th century in Pet Sounds, Good Vibrations, and eventually, Smile. So I guess what I'm saying is Phil Spector can kiss my ass and pay me a million dollars for the privilege.

Spector seems like a prick. Yeah, he had some musical ingenuity (Wall of Sound is great). But implying that Wilson is envious of his talents...nom nom nom. Wilson, in my eyes, will always be the greater genius.

Nice, +1

From what I have read, With a Bullet is possibly the best coverage to date of the farce that is Phil Spector. They describe how he pissed all over the floor at the House of Blues and in the Parking lot and also got Tasered by the cops. It appeared in Los Angeles Magazine and made me laugh my ass off for days.

You give up too easily. Keep trying till it gets through. That's how things are done around here...

Nope.

Isn't that what almost got Blackvampyr permanently banninated?

Candygram4Mongo: You give up too easily. Keep trying till it gets through. That's how things are done around here...

I used that reasoning with my girlfriend when we tried anal. It didn't fly then either.

As an audio buff, I think the Spector-produced records I've heard sound like garbage. Everything is mashed together in a big pile with waaaaaay too much echo, and no clarity at all. Many of them are also distorted all to Hell. Those old Righteous Brothers & Ronettes records were an abomination from a sonic standpoint.

Even Lennon's "Imagine" album sounds somewhat lousy. The one exception was the Beatles "Let It Be", which sounds ok. And I think that might be because Spector only came in at the end to piece the thing together. Glyn Johns actually recorded it.

Many of the pop records from that era sound very good. Notably, the Atlantic R&B records, Motown, and some of the Stax records of the time. So it wasn't because the technology didn't exist to make good sounding records.

So yeah, Phil did invent something new, but that thing he invented sounds like ass.

HEY LOOK EVERYONE I'M IN ON THE JOKE

My, don't you have a firm grasp of the obvious and no clue of the sarcastic.

This. The "Wall Of Sound" was the emporors new clothes. If anyone did actually see through the bullshiat, they would not have dared to admit it.

/loves me some Stax/Volt
//and King Records too.
