Interesting new Mike interview, with new release date

[pixletwin]

I thought the news that the BB were recording was tongue and cheek. I am surprisingly excited to find otherwise.

Cheers.

I'm not surprised to find you're excited though I'm surprised to find you're surprisingly excited!

@AGD

The Hoffman board is reporting that The Beach Boys studio reunion for Do It Again was a Capitol. Is that true? Do they have a new recording contract in place? Seems odd that they would use Capitol and not Linett's place or some other independent studio. It also said that they visited seperately. Was this for a Smile listening session?

[Jason]

I think The Real Beach Boy provided you with a couple of quotes from Bruce. Please, don't tell us we make stuff up. There is nothing for any of us to gain by it. We give our point of view from what we know and it is up to you whether you want to accept it or not. Personally, it is no problem if you don't want to believe what I have to offer. Ignore my posts if you think I make stuff up. I'm sure I'll be called out if ever I do. I think enough people backed me up on this subject to see that I did not. And sure, 95% of the Smile talk is assumption, but the assumptions are based on things that we know in some form or another.

Yes, 95% is bull merda-Quote of the day, week, month, year, decade perhaps even century! You ARE the doctor!!

Doctor DON'T FEED THE TROLL!

My remark about your mental capacity has now been proven. Thank you very much.

Once again, Da Hoff is wrong. 

And, again, the recent 'reunion' sessions were nothing to do with Smile.

[drbeachboy]

The person that posted said they were their separately, as well as together last week. Was just wondering why the separately.

[Loaf]

My guess would be a "new" recording tacked onto yet ANOTHER greatest hits compilation, probably revolving around the no. 50.

They'll put the "tack" into "tacky".

If they did go to Capitol, it was for something else entirely.

Bbbut I thought it was you that said "...don't feed the troll..."

[drbeachboy]

I hear you. I hate re-records. No good ever comes from them. Hopefully, like AGD stated earlier, that it was just a warm up to see how things go together.

[Mike's Beard]

Yeah it's possably just a 'feeling out' process. If they can't get it together recording an oldie like Do It Again then they'll know not to bother trying new material. I hope it goes well, esp for Mike as he's been wanting this to happen for a long time.

[Jason]

There needs to be a new Cassius Love vs. Sonny Wilson that comes out of this if another session happens.

BW: I abandoned Smile because Mike didn't like it.
ML: I never disliked Smile...
BW: Your memory is getting senile!
ML: No, yours is!

I just wanna say that, uh............... I really like Scarlet's rack!

Like the oldies recorded for 15 Big Ones?

Rerecording "Do It Again" (of all songs) is such a cheesy thing to do... Also, no rerecording is ever going to equal the original's perfect drum beat and manic falsetto part, so why even bother?

I agree it may be cheesy. However, at least they're in (or were in) the studio together, and presumably getting along. That bodes well, I would think.

Oh yes, I absolutely agree.

Personally I think that both "Southern California" and "Cool Head Warm Heart" would've worked quite well as new Beach Boys reunion songs. Also "San Simeon", which isn't very original but still could've been rather nice in a BB 50th anniversary context. Who knows, maybe they're going to come up with something like that.

Hell Yeah! It's the only reason to keep watching that Michael Bay crapfest "The Island" 'till the end.


P.S. Don't go getting any funny ideas Mikie - I'm a dude.

If that "Do It Again" re-recording ever happens (which I'm sure It won't) I would probably tears of shame

Well, it is one thing to redo someone else's song and quite another redoing your own.

Well, excuse me, but it's already happened, last week. I can understand people dismissing my notions and theories (hell, I do it to other folk on a regular basis), but the session is now common knowledge.

Just so I'm clear: the surviving band members have reunited in the studio after so and so number of years, and instead of appreciating the potential historical significance of seeing these dudes put aside their differences and baggage enough to do it, let alone at an age where it might be one of their last opportunities to release anything new at all, we should just complain about how it's not going to be as good as the version they did in their prime and that they should just not do anything at all?

Got it.

[Lowbacca]

Historical. I hope it turned out good so that it gets released. And I agree, it definitely sounds like some kind of warm-up. Wonder what's coming our way... 

[Jason]

I figure hey, if it went reasonably ok, it could work as a download on the new Beach Boys Central website!

It's just a weird thing to do, "Do it again" is a great song but I don't see a single reason to rerecord it..

It will be a weird novelty recording, something more from the heart would be better, or just seeing them on stage IMO
