TWGMTR Follow-up

[Jim V.]

Dude, you gettin' married? Wow. Congrats, especially since she seems to love the BB too. An all BB music wedding?  The ol Professor follows the Roman poet Juvenal when it comes to marriage, but I am happy to congratulate the Dude, a great and generous SSmile-board member and always a gentleman.

Thank you professor. Yeah, my fiance is a Beach Boys fan. I got her into the guys. She knows who Brian, Carl, Dennis, Mike, Al, and Bruce are. And she knows Dave as "the guy who always wears the sunglasses". She went to see them last year with me. Loves "Heroes And Villains", "Surf's Up" and "This Whole World" amongst others. However, I don't think an all Beach Boys wedding would please her, so I don't think I'm gonna get that.

Anyways, It would be great if Brian's new recordings are for The Beach Boys. They are usually his best vehicle for his work. But if they aren't, it's okay, and I'll happily accept whatever new material he or they give to us.

Some info has leaked out about Brian's new project.
According to a (formerly) reliable source Brian he's indeed working on his new album, tentatively named "Getting' In Under My Bed".
It will feature several collaborations with other famous artists.
An early track list seems to be:

"I Can't Believe We Are Still Playing Piano", featuring Billy Joel on lead vocals and piano
"You're Still A Mistery", recorded by The Beach Boys in 1996, but discarded. This version removes the BB voices
"I Touch Myself", Divinyls cover
"Getting' In Under My Bed"
"Beach Blues",  features Jeff Beck on electric guitar
"Dessert Dive"
"Acquaintances Like Us" , featuring Ringo Starr on co-lead vocal
"Hotter", originally from "Sweet Insanity" but with milder lyrics
"Someone To Love", originally from "Sweet Insanity"
"Saturday Night The City", from the mid-90's Paley sessions
"Do You Have Any Regrets?", originally from "Sweet Insanity", featuring Dave Marks on inaudible vocals
"Not This Again",  mid-80's song, featuring newly written lyrics by Steve Kalinich about letting Steve Kalinich write lyrics
"The Tango", written with Tony Asher


Really looking forward to this one!!

Where is Brian's usual backing band (The Wondermints...*waits for post explaining why they're no longer 'The Wondermints'*)??

Their absence in these pictures doesn't make it easy to guess what this project is.

Scott Bennett said on facebook a few days ago he recorded with Brian recently for this new project.

That said, I'm pretty glad the Wondermints are being used less this time around. They are a great Beach Boys cover band but I don't really like the sound they bring to Brian's original material (bar a few tracks).

Way too polished and not very interesting.

Unlike the raw garageband sound of That's Why God Made The Radio?

[SMiLE Brian]

That is a shame, to pass up a followup to a billboard number three album. I guess Mike only wanted another album if he could force Brian to write all the songs with him.

I hope Brian's project turns out to be great.

"if he could force Brian...". C'mon! It's a guess; and an unfair one. Mike is entitled to his agenda, if it includes co-writing with Brian, just as Brian is entitled to his own agenda (like giving Foskett a stellar vocal role, for instance).

But Mike always seems to pull this strange power trip about him being the only real collaborator for Brian. Brian and Mike did work well together in the early days but things have changed. Brian moved on from that era, Mike didn't and stunted his musical growth.

Wow, where did you get that info? I'm especially looking forward to the new song with Billy Joel. He's one of my fave artists.

Yeah, wow, love the idea of "Dessert Drive" -  that one really has the cream AND the cherry on the cake.

And "Acquaintances Like Us"… such honesty… Peace and love and mercy man!

Didn't the Wondermints play on that

I struggle to hear a human voice on it, let alone musicians.
