Does Brian have special mono mixes?

Brian's yet to be recorded rock 'n' roll album title has often been compared to this porn movie title. It doesn't bother me seeing it, rather it has quelled my curiosity. It's not like pornography is being strewn all over the board.

Some's been recorded, or at least demoed.

[send me a picture and i'll tell you]

Since Brian can only hear with his left ear, it is the right hemisphere of his brain interpreting the sound. Brian is always in Wonderland.

That's not how the brain works - or maybe you were joking

I'm pretty impaired high frequency-wise in my right ear, and therefore put the phone to my left ear.  When I do switch temporarily to the right ear, I can understand what's being said, but find it hard to comprehend the linear meaning of what I'm hearing.

What rock & roll album?

[drbeachboy]

Why, the Pleasure Island album! Brian's been talking about making a rock 'n' roll record since 2005 or so.

[roll plymouth rock]

Anyone wanna bet with me that an album named Pleasure Island will never be released? Its certainly not an official title for any forthcoming project from what I understand...

I think the title is great! But all the matters to me is that Brian realizes it as he appears to have it somewhat planned or at least vaguely conceived. I really think it could be Brian's last masterpiece. Let's free him from this role of summarizing his own career (Midnight's Another Day, Oxygen To The Brain, etc) and let him write some Mona's if that would please him! I'm sure it would please Mike to be involved!

Just imagine it, Pleasure Island: a 35 minute blast of Wilson/Love newly written classics, the grooviest album of the past twenty years!

1999 actually.

I could see the album's advertisement: Get-off with the Beach Boys on Pleasure Island!

You got a source or is this conjecture?

Really, that long ago? Seems my first encounter hearing about it was after GIOMH was released.

Is pornography allowed in this forum? I won't speak for anyone, but I'm sure some might find it offensive.

Do the breasts scare you? Or make you desirous of warm milk?

I desire an intelligent forum with decency and taste in which there are no stupid posts.

Boy have you come to the wrong place then.

Amen! The album had better be in mono!

[roll plymouth rock]

I just wonder why people keep talking about an album that'll never exist?

It better have the moog, because Brian loves it and has been wanting to use it again.

sup dawg, you heard that Smile is finally being released?

[roll plymouth rock]

i heard it was scrapped for an album called pleasurey pleasure island

Yes. Brian said with confidence "Something Phil Spector taught me." (Paraphrased). Now he just has to write the songs for it.

Well, staged or not, there is the picture of Brian at the piano with a rough tracklist jotted down on a sheet of paper.  Though the only thing written for it appears to be the Pleasure Island theme.  The rest is 15 Big Ones Part 2.

Proof! Pleasure Island - I care about this more than SMiLE.

Guys, forgive me for being the voice of sanity, but Brian Wilson IS STILL ALIVE.

Bother with SMiLE later if he doesn;t care that much himself, knowing it will come out at some point in this way.

But.... he's ALIVE NOW. Pleasure Island is a potential could-be. Smile is a has-been. It's good but, come on, this is Pleasure Island!

Seriously, I believe in Pleasure Island. It's Brian Wilson's final masterpiece. I don't mean it's all "Don't Talk [Hear My Chord Progressions]" necessarily. It might be more like Mona/Here Comes The Night/My Obsession/Be My Baby/The Little Girl I Once Knew (Daoist RocknRoll).

I have one important request. If the lyrics to Pleasure Island are not written by Brian, can Mike Love please be asked to have a go? He has proven (Good Vibrations) to be a trustworthy resource for this sort of thing. I don't like Scott Bennett's lyrics all that much. They are just light. Lighter than other collaborators. Mike had some cheeky lyrics. Darian seems like a more far out guy at heart, why not work with him? Darian is cool for Darlin (for the names too) because he looks like an E major chord when he wears that green shirt. Don't you think?

I got the impression that Brian was reacting to the overly Adult Contemporary production of IMAGINATION by telling journalists shortly after its release that he wanted to do a rock-and-roll album (with "big drums" and a social message if I remember correctly). When GIOMH was issued, I thought it might have been the rock-and-roll album Brian had talked about, but then he kept saying that the "next one" was going to be the rock-and-roll one!

and as long as he's recording and releasing songs, the Rock & roll album is always going to be the "next" one.

I agree, but sometimes there's a c# on the bottom or a d# on top; he tastes like a tangy dried apple ring.  Foskett's more of a B-flat major, chewy chocolate-chip cookie kind of guy.  I don't think Brian can be locked in as such.
