When/where was this title announced?

I think it was announced here first: http://www.knoxville.com/news/2011/oct/14/wayne-bledsoe-brian-wilson-on-disney-songs-and/?partner=RSS

Could the admins put a pin on this topic so we can keep new album info in one spot??  

New Beach Boys album featuring all the guys!! Who would've thought, hey?

[Wirestone]

Correction -- mike isn't producing the album with Brian. He is the executive producer, which is a largely honorary title meaning he probably has some say in song selection, sequencing or general creative direction.

The last we've heard anything quasi-official, BW was producing the album with Joe Thomas. Joe hasn't shown up in recent studio shots, though, so his continued involvement is unclear.

The Private Life of Bill and Sue with lyrics by Van Dyke Parks?.....


Mike: "The Private Life if Bill and Sue, what does that title mean?"
VDP: "I don't know I haven't a clue."

[joshferrell]

maybe it's "lazy lizzy" with updated lyrics with Bill following Sue home from school.."sexy suzie I want to see you again....."

[SamMcK]

That's Why God Made the Radio


Was I the only one that immediately thought of that song by Paul Simon, "That's Why God Made the Movies"?

[Rob Dean]

No , I thought of that song from One Trick Pony as well (great song though)
Might be a re-write however lets hope its a new song

[Smilin Ed H]

"That's Why God Made the Radio"

Hmmm Another one of those that lists bands/artists that comprise the spirit of rock and roll?

[harrisonjon]

Have any other BB's done any songwriting for this project?

[hypehat]

Love has mentioned he might work on some material with David, right?

[Rocker]

Joe Thomas is mentioned here (thanks to That's Not Me for the link)

EDIT:

here are two quotes from two different interviews about Mike wanting to work with Dave on some stuff. No title(s) mentioned, though.

Mike interview:

How's the album coming so far?
We have not done much on that. There have been some songs written and we have recorded on a few things, just a handful of things. The next couple months are going to be, that's going to be our to-do list. There's a lot of creativity coming from myself, coming from Brian. David Marks has a title I really like, so I'm going to work with him on that

David interview:

BBE:  What do you envision your contributions to the new album being?
DM: Well, I’ve already recorded a couple of guitar parts and I’m looking forward to more time in the studio.  Mike has heard some of my new songs and likes a couple of them, so I’m optimistic we’ll work together on one of those. There is no shortage of great material so I’ll have to see, but I’m all about being a team player this time around so I’m happy to play whatever role I’m needed to fill.

Sounds like a plan

[The Shift]

That's Why God Made the Radio Was I the only one that immediately thought of that song by Paul Simon, "That's Why God Made the Movies"?

No , I thought of that song from One Trick Pony as well (great song though)
Might be a re-write however lets hope its a new song

.... And I thought of No Wrong Notes in Heaven by Scotty Bennett.

[Pretty Funky]

Love has mentioned he might work on some material with David, right?

...and didn't Mike like something David came up with and thought it may make a great album title?

[Wirestone]

No, Mike's use of the word "title" in the RS interview means "song." Not title for the album.
