Thanks for that! I love how Al refers to Mike as "that other guy".

"Run, James, Run" 

[southbay]

Alright then, leave to Al Jardine to get this board back on topic. Another "new" title--the return of "Run, James, Run."  Doesn't sound like that guy running the Beach Boys is currently on the Jardines' Christmas card list...

[Paulos]

'That other guy' quote made me laugh, oh those wacky Beach Boys! Intriguing that Al loves Love You, this means Al>Foskett.

[Andrew G. Doe]

Snappy title, but... it sure sounds kinda familiar. 

[ontor pertawst]

"he'll be doodling on a little tune called "Surf's Up." We'll be opening he second set with some songs from Smile, and he'll accompany us, or we with him. He'll do the melody on guitar, and we'll accompany it with some vocals."

Hot damn! Sounds tasty. I was hoping to hear this live... can't wait.

What a fun callback to Pet Sounds, too! Every reviewer with access to Wikipedia can pseudo-helpfully note it was the original title for the instrumental.

He's definitely talking about Bruce...

"Run, James, Run" 

It's nice that someone is doing this for "us", but beyond the fact that the title makes me smile, I can't say I'm too pleased that there's gonna be a car song on the new album.

Horror has a new name.

That Other Guy.

Coming Soon.

As long as it is better than Desert Drive or PT Cruiser then I'm ok with it.

Cars do still exist in 2013. They weren't all made in 1962-1963. If it's clever it can still work today.

Sure, but Spring Vacations and Beaches still exist, too, and it seems we want none of that!

[Rocky Raccoon]

Nice to hear Al is singing lead on the album.  Sounds like it might be a Brian Wilson album in name only, this is the next Beach Boys album.  Now, some might argue with that saying Mike needs to sing on it in order for it to be a Beach Boys album but my point is that while Mike and Bruce have drifted to tour on their own, it seems Brian, Al, and Dave have never ceased to be a band since the reunion ended.  It's not the reunion ended so Brian went back to his solo career, the reunion never ended, it's just that a couple of guys backed out of it.  This album is THE follow-up to That's Why God Made the Radio and I couldn't be more excited.

I really like Spring Vacation, but you got me with Beaches In Mind. Though, that damn chorus gets stuck in my brain every time I play it. Dag blasted, song!

Those pics of Mike in that other thread were, well, scary!

[RubberSoul13]

So far we can solidify that we'll hear...

-Little Deuce Coupe
-Custom Machine
-Surf's Up

...and when he mentions opening the second set with SMiLE songs, that at least almost guarentees

-Our Prayer
-Heroes and Villains

And, reports from Brian's woodshed:
>  "He Come Down" -- but not a remake of the gospel tune.
>  "Run, James, Run" -- but not the rejected Bond theme song better known as the instrumental "Pet Sounds"


Speaking of 007 references, Mike quoted Ian Fleming in a recent interview "Never say Never":

Al also made reference to an Agent.
“Some young man from New Orleans, a fledgling agent I think, sent these doo wop tapes to me,” said Jardine.

What's the secret, Vito Salutation?  ;-)

[Rocky Raccoon]

Ian Fleming didn't say that!  Sean Connery's wife said that when he said he'd never play James Bond again.  Hence why the 1983 film in which he returned to the role was called "Never Say Never Again."  And Ian Fleming had been dead for nearly twenty years by that point.

Mike Love misquoted Ian Fleming. False attribution.

I would argue that without 4 of the most recognizable Beach Boys it ain't The Beach Boys.

[Wirestone]

I would argue the same about any band that lacks a Wilson or Jardine.

Regardless, the OP didn't say that Brian's group should even be called the BBs. Only that it's the true continuation of the C50 tour for Brian. Which looks to be true enough.

Uck, another car song. Count at least one dud on the album.

By that logic, That's Why God Made the Radio wasn't a Beach Boys album either.

Can we at least listen to it first?

Don't Worry Baby is a car song too, y'know.
