New album info (as it rolls out...)

[Awesoman]

Howsabout some of us actually base their comments on having heard the song in question as opposed to who wrote it ?  Rumor has it the song in question isn't too shabby. Maybe not another "Midnight...", but not something built by cowboys* either.

[* obscure Brit reference - google it ]

Would the rumor imply whether the song is an uptempo one or a ballad?

[The Shift]

Feeling some kind of guilt here as t'was I who found the original interviews from the blokes who sang on the demo and wrote the track back in the 1700s. And I who voiced (well, typed) some regret that the first product of the regenerated Beach Boys wasn't homemade but something they seemingly commissioned at a craft workshop. Had I known that Phil would take these dark materials and mould them into something nefarious I would never have let them out of the bottle.

Lesson learned though. If you want to find out who really wrote Barbara Ann you'll have to Google it yourselves. But some of you might not want to take that path... There lies madness and surely suicide.

According to Rolling Stone, it's a ballad.

Don't worry, the fans are already lining up outside of the SiriusXM studios, a local newscrew caught a picture of Phil mingling with the fans.... he seems happier.

I looked it up (british reference- cowboys) and there seem to be multiple meanings. Could you elaborate?

It usually refers to builders, (construction workers to you) who do a terrible job.

Now for your next lesson, look up "builder's bum"

[lance]

I'm guessing that is what we call "plumber's crack" in the States...?

June 5th is indeed the alleged date.

Just noticed this tweet from a few hours ago...Not sure who this woman is but she appears to be a journalist of some sort.

Mike Love tells me the new Beach Boys album will probably be called either "Beaches in Mind" or "That's Why God Made the Radio."

Nice find

Two great titles IMO

Honestly don't think either title is all that great for an album title.  My vote is for Still Croakin'.   

[Jaspy]

I like 'New Release 2012' better.
Or 'Pet Sounds Vol. 2'.

[coco1997]

"That's Why God Made The Radio" is a fine song title but it's too long and clunky of an album title. "Beaches in Mind" is better, but I'm betting it'll be something else entirely.

[Runaways]

meh, not good album titles.  I liked Summer's Gone!  i like it when album's aren't named after songs on the album. 

slash, no wonder there's no news to report.  they haven't even named the thing??

I think "Summer's Gone" would be a little depressing.

Better than "Beaches In Mind" or "That's Why God Made The Radio." Especially the latter since the band didn't write it.

[Runaways]

i think "summer's gone" would fit with the so called "mellow album" and "nostalgic ballad" of TWGMTR.  and i just don't like the phrasing of "beaches in mind", it doesn't evoke anything for me.  I'm not so sure those are the two titles, those are the two songs rolling stone mentioned.  Maybe mike was just talking.

[bgas]

Maybe they'll just call it Pendle Tones
