Hello all,

Amidst all the excitement about the tour and the new music, I wanted to let you know that I've been told my book Fifty Sides of The Beach Boys will start shipping from Amazon.com next week, a few weeks ahead of when it should appear on shelves in North American bookstores (June 1). I have received my first review, from Publishers Weekly, and it's positive. You can see it here if you're interested: http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-1-77041-071-8.

Also, for those who may be in the Toronto area May 28, here is the invitation to the book launch party, where I will be doing a Q&A with music writer Liz Worth: http://www.facebook.com/events/284421971646667/#!/events/370030343049794/?context=create. It would be great to see some of you there, armed with a quasi-intelligent question or two. I don't want to look like a chump up there. Thanks.

Good timing (no pun).
June 1st is the release date of the new album mentioned in german news articles[

a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

Good news Mark - hopefully the tour buzz will help sell a couple of extra copies and you'll become the board's third millionaire author, after AGD and Jon! Please remember us when you hit the big time!  Grin

I'll have to get investment advice from Andrew and Jon...
