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

[Ron]

It's kind of like in my local city's entertainment section... they list bands that are playing, and then they list what 'genre' they are.... which is of course completely useless.  So it'll say things like

Sat. March 5th
I wanna Burrito
(Folk/Indy/Rock/Spatial)

Sun. Marth 6th
Here come the Benjamins
(Folk/Etheral/Rock/Garage)

Mon. March 7th
Once again it's On
(Rock/Country/Jazzersize/Cloudy)

Like WTF is that?  If I ever had a band it would say

Tues. March 8th
Ron
(ROCK)

[Runaways]

Comparing (rock) to (folk/indie/rock/spatial), I think we have different opinions on which is more useless

[Ron]

Yes, one is pretentious bullshit, the other is simple.  LOL  You must be in the "It sounds like Sunflower, but kind of like Pet Sounds, but more like 1965" camp.  BTW are you a chick?

[Wirestone]

Lol could i ask you to answer if I said yes I am a girl, and no I am not. And I don't think it's pretentious to think seeing four descriptions will give me a better idea than seeing the single broadest description ha.  But if more than one descriptor is too much for you, I can understand why it'd be pretentious

I tell you, if this reunion sends out any more mixed signals ...

[Runaways]

  spring vacation sounds poised to join the ranks of amusement parks USA.  So it sounds like shelter and Bill were finished songs that brian brought with him.  I wonder if it's all him lyrically or if one oF his band helped.  I'm super excited for the suite.  It's great that they're letting brian do his thing!
So we got:

Waves of love
That's why god made the radio
She believes in love
Shelter
The Private Life of Bill and Sue
Beaches in Mind
Spring Vacation (barf)
Daybreak over the Ocean (ML tune)
A seven-minute BW suite (counts as 1 or 3?)

[Jaspy]

If Bruces didn't joke with "She Believes In Love Again" and we know Al provides "Waves Of Love", this shows once again that Brian is and was the Beach Boys, or the real driving force behind the group.

Just give us a new BB album with brand new songs and show us that 70 year or almost 70 year old people don't live in the past and are still able to come up with something new.

Edit: I already want a new Brian Wilson written Solo album. Melinda?

[Nicko1234]

I`m very pleased that they have chosen to record Mike`s Daybreak. This is imo the best song that he has ever written (on his own obviously) and if they were going to include any oldies then this would be the best choice.

Indeed, I can see "Daybreak" working very well as a Beach Boys song. Good choice by Mike.

Another priceless Brian quote for the ages:
"I think it's even better, to tell you the truth, because the guys have been practicing for years," says Brian Wilson
That guy cracks me up.

[Rocker]

I like "Daybreak". Hopefully (certainly) the production will be better than on "Mike Love not war". The song really is nice

[Autotune]

My only concern with Spring Vacation is that its title rhymes with "excitation" and "vibration".

Other than that: BRING IT ON!

[Craig Boyd]

It's a lovely chilled song that will fit nicely. I actually think the sound of the harmonies is spot on, doesn't sound as processed as recent Brian/BB material.

[Iron Horse-Apples]

Maybe it will be "Spring Vacation", but in the vein of "Surfs Up", i.e, goofy title but mind blowing song. A statement. #

Or else it could be about one of those Spring Break - Show Your Beaver contests which I've heard about but never googled.

[EgoHanger1966]

We're takin' a spring vacation.
Playin' oldies like 'Good Vibrations'
We're sendin' out those excitations.
Spring, spring, spring, spring vacation!

Sorry, i just had to do that.

Don't be sorry. Unfortunately in Beach Boy-world this is a strong chance it will be something like that

Umh.. in my opinion Anything For You, I Don't Wanna Know and Glow Crescent Glow are superior but let's see what the BB magic can do!!

[Wirestone]

That being said, it is Brian who wanted to record a follow-up to TLOS called "Pleasure Island." I always have to remind myself of that when I start feeling crabby about Mike's lyrical concepts ...

Yeah, I'm hoping everyone working together can act as a filter.  If Brian was left to his own devices the lyrics wouldn't be any good either except for maybe a song or two.

[hypehat]

"Spring Vacation"?


Oh dear....

That's Why God Made the Radio is going to premiere on Mike and Mike in the Morning tomorrow on ESPN Radio.

Don't forget Al's "Islands In the Sun".

A few other songs I hope are in contention:

"Still A Mystery"
"Dancin' The Night Away"
"Cool Head, Warm Heart"

I also wonder if "Don't Fight the Sea" has a chance of making the album.
