New album project incorrectly described in online article.

Well, now that I think about it, an interpolation with "Santa's Goin' To Kokomo" would be great on the final track. Move the distant, ghostly "there's a riot goin' on" to the front of the album, with a redux before the first "Kokomo".

I think it'd be interesting to speculate on a Mike & Friends album. Here's my imagining:

1. 10,000 Years Ago, ft. Charli XCX & Daft Punk
Beatles Trilogy
2. Thank You/Spiritual, ft. Paul McCartney
3. Pisces Brothers, ft. Dhani Harrison
4. Back in the USSR, ft. John Stamos
End Trilogy
5. Cool Head, Warm Heart, ft. children of Mike Love, Al Jardine, and Carl Wilson
6. Unleash the Love, ft. Bruno Mars
7. Kokomo, ft. Vampire Weekend, Carson Daly's Mom
8. Love Foundation
9. Glow Crescent Glow, ft. Sam Smith
10. Foskett's Back
11. Everyone's In Love With You, ft. Mormon Tabernacle Choir
12. Only One Word, ft. John Frusciante
13.  Kokomo (Redux)

Super track listing, but can we get Fallon to do a rap version of Daybreak Over the Ocean?

This blanket assumption that Mike is solely responsible for every bad thing from the original Fall From Grace, through the Fall of the Roman Empire, the Black Death, slavery, the development of nuclear weapons to the rise of Islamic State is certainly convenient, as it requires no coherent thought: it just IS. Actually, I deeply admire such a singularity of thought and execution, monotonous as it is (in the literal sense), but after a while, it really, really grates. The narrowness of outlook, the inadequacy of thought depresses, and lordy, modern life is depressing enough, thank you very much.

You forgot the Spanish Inquisition!!!

Posted this elsewhere...The Beach Boys are the TEAM.  Each guy is KEY to the success of the team.  Brian is the key ring.

If it hadn't been for Brian...we wouldn't be here.  Same thing can most assuredly be said about Mike.  Surfin USa, Shut Down, Little Deuce Coupe, Be True To Your School, Fun Fun Fun...The whole foundation is dependent on Mike's contributions...just as it is on Brian's.

Without that GREAT of a beginning...would there have even been a future?  It didn't happen with Surfin Safari...or anything else from the first album really...although Moon Dawg might disagree...and the folks who liked the SIP version of Surfin'...but really?

As much as Mike has done some 'sh*t'...so too has Brian. [although not becuase he was in control of his actions]  I have to agree with Andrew.

Sometimes yes... sometimes no.

After having the opportunity to clarify the misinformation in the recent article, Mike's book is still on schedule for 2016, and he is considering a solo release project of new and re-recorded material at the same time.

Good to hear he finally might put a new studio album out. Intrigued to see how many previously unreleased Love written songs would appear on this album if it ever happens.

By the way, did he mention whether any kind of solo anthology album was a possibility for release? Because he has a huge backlog of unreleased and rare material. It would be great to get both projects from Mike. I'm hopeful

That would be cool.

Glad to know what's up.

Could package it with a special edition of the book. Makes sense to me, for what that's worth!

A fake album cover I worked on a little today.



In a perfect world I'm picturing a very Stamos oriented album. Some newly written original songs from Mike regarding the recent controversies with the band. I want a wall of Yamaha DX7 synths for the love songs. Also, a few acoustic covers (the Rolling Stone C50-era acoustic covers sounded incredible) - maybe a slowed-down acoustic version of 'All I Want To Do'. And finally, we better get an a cappella hymn about Dannon Frozen Yogurt to close out the album.
