They got room for a Rutle in there?

What a neat development -- especially after my recent whining about Blondie not guesting one night on C50! Hopefully we'll get some more details about the album before the fall leg of the tour...

Boy, I sure hope these plucky young men can counter all the bad PR they've been getting! If only Mike and Bruce would show up to make it all better.

I think it's great that Blondie's in the studio with Brian since he wasn't anywhere to be found during the C50. Hell, bring Ricky in too.

Guy can play some mean guitar too, though I think the Stones wanted him just for vocals, right? I think he's buds with Bernard Fowler, a backup guy with the Stones, though I haven't heard that Blondie's been with them lately.

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

I don't think he was on their most recent tour.  He wasn't there when I saw them.

He got fired for trying to impersonate Keith with some of the groupies...

Blondie confirmed it on his FB account today -- and also said he was wirking on the album as a whole, not a specific track. So that would be an interesting development ...

It would be good to have Ricky involved but from everything I've read he seems to distance himself from anything to do with the Beach Boys. Shame as he seems like a nice guy and he's still a damn fine drummer.

Well, surprising you should say that, Paulos, because I saw Ricky get up on stage with Brian and Al back in '07 in Oakland and he got a great ovation and Brian and Al seemed real happy that he was there with them. I'm sure both Blondie and Ricky had a closer alliance with Carl than the rest of the band, and they both showed up to the Carl tribute in L.A. a few years ago.

I dunno, I think he's still busy with Bonnie Raitt on the road, isn't he?

Doesn't seem that "Team Wilson" has a PR problem since the C50 tour ended.



There is no problem. But there is no doubt that a big part of having these guests involved is to sell tickets/albums just as it was with GIOMH. Now the inclusion of another former Beach Boy means that if it transpires that Mike and Bruce have not been invited to take part that it will be seen as political (for want of a better word). With Mike that may well be understandable but with Bruce? Possibly less so. Doubtless it is more down to Brian's management than him anyway...

As for Blondie being on the album, I can't say it fills me with excitement. The last Brian song he sang in the studio was Sail on Sailor I guess and I wish a Wilson had sung that one.

I was completely unaware of that Mikie, thanks for filling me in. I think he's still touring with Bonnie, someone posted a video of him performing with her last year and he was as solid and classy as ever.

EDIT

Y'know, the more I think about it, I think I was getting confused and attributing remarks made by Blondie to Ricky. Time to put down the bong Paulos...

Well, they were invited to take part. Capitol wanted a followup album, Mike put up roadblocks and split for South America and points beyond with Historical Johnston and Sporadically Stamos instead... Then Capitol signed Brian for a solo album and they are carrying on without Doctor Grumpypants. Who exactly will be seeing this as "political," exactly? You? 3 or 4 people on this board? Show of hands, anyone?

It's completely ridiculous to try to treat this as somehow bad  for Brian because Mike Love isn't in the room. He can't record with Mike, and now he can't record without him either without it being criticized as political?

What a pointless distraction. Let them go on with their tribute act on the road while the musicians who still want to do new music record it! What a great lineup, and I love how they are working on many tracks each, not just a cheesy guest spot. Really looking forward to hearing the results of these sessions... bad political recess-ish PR be damned!

We are such lucky fans. After years of waiting for something, we've gotten...

- Over a decade of Brian touring
- A bunch of new Brian solo albums
- A reinvigorated Mike and Bruce show
- Alan's solo album
- Brian Wilson Presents Smile (I am still shocked that this happened)
- Smile Sessions (ditto)
- C50 tour
- That's Why God Made the Radio
- Made in California Box Set

...and now, this new Brian Wilson album, featuring Al, David, Jeff Beck, Blondie, and more...

I think the project that I am most excited about at the moment is this new BW album. Made in California has a good 30-40 tracks I am salivating over, but the whole "wood shedding" and organic collaboration process for this new album makes it seem like the anti-GIOMH... Brian seems engaged and reinvigorated by these collaborations.

Of course, I'd love me some Bruce and Mike on this album as well... but perhaps this is Brian's way of saying "screw you guys, I'm making the album I should have made many many years ago."

I've set my expectations high for Brian's best solo album, and I haven't even heard a lick of music from it!

It's plain as the nose on your/anyone's face who is moving forward with the BB legacy -- (hint) it is not Doc Grumpypants.

Brian Wilson is the innovator, God bless him!

More offended by the offensive, thanks.

You're going to have a tough time spinning this, huh? Poor Mike and Bruce, they weren't even invited to take part! I like how this becomes something seen only from the prism of Mike and Bruce, even something as fun and fan-pleasing as Blondie turning up to lend some vocals to a BW album...

I don't think ontor was being defensive. I think he's pointed out that Brian's doing his thing with double the amount of Beach Boys as Mike, and he's making new music, and touring, and getting lots of attention. Not that Mike would want attention.... Roll Eyes
