Title: Songwriting credits for Mike Love Not War? Post by: lance on June 01, 2009, 03:03:40 AM Just been listening to Mike Love Not War, the unreleased solo album by...er, Mike Love.
It's really good!!! I mean, much better than I expected. Shame it's never come out. I know that he wrote Everyone's in Love with You and Brian's Back, but what about the rest of the songs? Did he write those alone, or did he have a co-writer? Title: Re: Songwriting credits for Mike Love Not War?

Title: Re: Songwriting credits for Mike Love Not War? Post by: Jason on June 02, 2009, 11:29:30 AM Cool Head Warm Heart is apparently a Mike solo composition. Glow Crescent Glow, Daybreak, Too Cruel, and I Don't Wanna Know are First Love songs, all written by Mike solo.

Agree, Pisces Brother and 10,000 Years are the only two songs on the album with any merit - the rest is utter crap. Pisces Brother lends itself to the Beach Boys vocals. Title: Re: Songwriting credits for Mike Love Not War? Post by: Alex on June 02, 2009, 12:41:01 PM Cool Head Warm Heart and Daybreak are alright. But the remakes of EILWY and Brian's Back are pointless.

"It's gonna be fun, fun, fun." - Oh dear... what a strange guy. Title: Re: Songwriting credits for Mike Love Not War?

Of course nothing earth shattering, but nice to see him in such a good shape. Title: Re: Songwriting credits for Mike Love Not War?

Of course nothing earth shattering, but nice to see him in such a good shape. Yes, he's looking fine and I have to say I love his latter-day speaking voice. It sounds sort of rough, but actually really cool. Title: Re: Songwriting credits for Mike Love Not War?

Kinda odd he didn't mention the several million 'shout-outs' to the maharishi he's put in his songs. Title: Re: Songwriting credits for Mike Love Not War? Post by: Alex on June 09, 2009, 11:35:19 AM Why doesn't he just give up on the hats already??!!

(I realize that he supposedly did a good unreleased one in the seventies, and I found it once, but my copy's sound is bad enough that I can't listen to it, and I don't care.)

Not the cocky asshat boasting that he was Mr. Positivity or shooting daggers at Alan Boyd for even daring to ask about SMiLE. Title: Re: Songwriting credits for Mike Love Not War?

I can pretty well agree with the comparison to GIOMH - the difference being that Brian couldn't care less about the album and put in a performance which refelected that attitude - at least some of the songwriting was stronger than what's on Mike's album. I tried listening to both of them this morning to compare but decided I had better things to do with my time. They really do rate as low points. Title: Re: Songwriting credits for Mike Love Not War? Post by: lance on June 11, 2009, 11:58:21 AM Yeah, maybe you are right. I usually hear a Beach Boys or related albums and rate it much more highly at first than, say, a month later. I think just the fact that Ive heard something new by the Beach Boys excites me until I realize it blows.
Title: Re: Songwriting credits for Mike Love Not War? Post by: Aegir on June 11, 2009, 12:05:13 PM I think the best of GIOMH combined with the best of Mike Love Not War could've made a good album.
