TWGMTR Follow-up

[Magic City Surfer]

A simple question for the fans, what would you want in a new album from the BBs?

Put some finger poppin' on there and it'll be a million and two seller.

[Micha]

I must be careful in wishing things. For TWGMTR I wished for a silly song like Vegetables or I'm Bugged At My Old Man. And what I got was TPLOBAS (cringes)....

Bill and Sue showcases some of the best harmonies on the album.

If you like it, that's certainly ok with me! It's just that I don't...

[Nicko1234]

I think they could all deliver killer vocal performances, given enough time in the studio. And the right producer.

Agreed. If they do enough takes and use the studio then there's no reason why Mike couldn't sound like he did on Unleash the Love and Brian couldn't sound like he did on Postcards From California.

What in the Christ is TPLOBAS. SHIT CHRIST, WHAT THE HELL. PUSHING DRUGS. DRUGS. DRUGS. DRUGS. DRUGS. DRUGS. DRUGS. PUSHING DRUGS.

This made me laugh so hard.  Screw the follow up to TWGMTR...this is the long awaited follow-up to LOVE YOU!

[Ron]

I've got an idea. 

They're all old, and don't have sh*t else to do, except for Mike, who thinks he's busy.  And I guess Bruce, since he's Mike's henchman.  So...

Why doesn't Brian, and Al who would be happy to do it, and Dave go in the studio, and get creative.  Start recording the songs with Brian's band (like they basically did before), and then just overdub Mike on a few songs later.  and Bruce. 

That way, Brian could get his creative stuff the exact way he wants it... also, this is exactly, basically, the way he used to record in the FIRST FUCKING PLACE! 

I just don't understand why this stuff is so hard.  Mike doesn't really like the time commitment but doesn't mind working with Brian, let Brian record the album and have Mike come in and redo some of the vocals, and voila! Beach Boys album.

I'll agree to that.  It's hardly a good song but it does have some catchy harmony tags.  

[Ron]

I'd want a vacuum where Beach Boys fans, rather than air, were absent. Or the blindness, so I wouldn't be tempted to read what people had to say the band had done wrong, or how Brian had been misled away from his true muse (which suspiciously aligns with the complainer's favorite Brian-period or style).

I'd just want a vacuum. Mine broke.

I'm 34.  I just figured out recently, that if you use your vacuum cleaner to vacuum up things like bolts and broken glass and dead insects and pieces of carpet, it seriously makes the vacuum cleaner stop working right.  Then, if you lay it down on the ground and look everywhere on it, you'll find what they refer to as a 'filter' that's supposed to be 'cleaned'.  so if you clean that, it makes the vacuum cleaner work again. 

I missed that for 34 years.

It could be, definately.  I'm just saying, that they don't all have to be sleeping with each other to record an album.  Mike and Brian are kind of standoffish right now, but hell they could still record an album fairly easy.  It also could be damn good if they let Brian work his magic a little while. 


Mike must be an idiot, how he hasn't started doing this yet I dont' even know, but DUH, MIKE, you'll make more money if you're touring, AND have a cd out at the same time.  Let Brian record the cd, it's what he wants to do, you keep touring, it's what you want to do, and you get a piece of all of it. 

"Hey Brian, why don't you do one of those smiley thingies again, and i'll sing whatever you want me to, as long as it's on wednesdays after I get back from the Mohecan Sun casino, then, we'll put it out, and I keep 1/4th of the money, whaddyasay?"

No, no, I think you've been doing it right Ron, it's more likely that you've just recently replaced your old upright vacuum cleaner with a more modern version, that's done away with bags and belts, am I right? There's a fresh breed if vacuum out there, bring the love and sunshine to a whole new generation. That's why Dyson made the DC36 Animal.

Does anyone have news? Anyone?

[Micha]

Let's have a new thread about vacuum cleaners.

[The Shift]

Threads about vacuum cleaners suck.

Hmmmmmmm. What if I use it exclusively to vacuum up chocolate milk? I like drinking a lot of chocolate milk, but I always spill it. Every time I try to vacuum it up though my vacuum stops working, and I end up in the hospital. Strangest thing.

I'll agree to that.  It's hardly a good song but it does have some catchy harmony tags.  

And a killer refrain with great sax.

[Ron]

I really like in 'bill and sue' the way Brian turns into Jeff Foskett, over and over again.  Brian starts singing, and then through the magic of studio trickery turns into Jeff.  They did it really well, the average listener wouldn't be able to tell.  The "hummm... bodddy bodddy humm... boddyy bodddy ayeee!" is really great too.

rumour has it brian is helping bruce with a re-recording bruce offered up for TWGMTR... "she believes in lean again" will be the lead single, supposedly featuring juicy j and wiz khalifa!

I wondered about that too. But Mike has stated more than once that he wants to write songs with Brian. So I guess that's a point he wouldn't give up again.

I really like in 'bill and sue' the way Brian turns into Jeff Foskett, over and over again.  Brian starts singing, and then through the magic of studio trickery turns into Jeff.  They did it really well, the average listener wouldn't be able to tell.  The "hummm... bodddy bodddy humm... boddyy bodddy ayeee!" is really great too. 

"The private life of Bill and Sue" to me is a very cool song. Great harmonies and singing all around and very catchy. And the production sounds very Brian-like to me (especially the vibes played by Darian and Scott B.) I don't get why this song gets so much bad mouthing.
What you mention above brings me to a question I had since the first time I heard "Think about the days". In that song there's a moment when Brian starts to go into falsetto and you can tell it's Brian but as it gets higher it becomes very bright and clear and I asked myself if that was Foskett (what I guess) or if this is a prime example of the often heard "Brian still can".

[runnersdialzero]

What in the Christ is TPLOBAS.

You still don't know this? That's quite unbelievable. But okay, I'll tell you - it stands for "The Private Life of Bill and Sue". Hope I did some useful help.

Just... teh acronyms, dawg. They're confusing and occasionally abused.

[MarcellaHasDirtyFeet]

Foskett's falsetto voice is unfairly compared to prime-era Brian Wilson, which is impossible to beat, of course. I've thought for a while now that his high range is rather similar to what you would get out of Brian if such a thing were still possible-- or on one of Brian's "good days."  It's smoother than Brian's voice would be, and IMHO he sings badly off key live a lot, but I'm not surprised that the two can be interwoven and even confused in a studio setting. To some degree (I'm still not really a fan) Foskett just makes sense... But better that his voice is BEHIND Brian.
