Hello everyone:

Quick note to let you know we're setting up an Official Brian Wilson Twitter account and will have everything ready for Brian's next round of shows beginning at the end of this month. You'll hear from Brian (courtesy of a band member's laptop) as well as band members to let you in on the latest happenings. It will also be a good way for you to receive tour and news updates directly to your computer or mobile device.

While we're in the process of setting up the page, you can still go to this link to become a follower of Brian's. This will be the one and only official Brian Wilson Twitter page.

Also, there's some very exciting news coming your way soon ...

Best case scenario- Brian's in the studio working on new material.
More likely scenario- Brian's going to be doing another oldies tour with "new" old material. Oh boy, let's here Brian do Cuckoo Clock! Yippee fucking Skippee!

How do we know it won't be Brian dictating to Darian, or something like that??

That sounds more likely, not that I'm opposed to it either. I doubt anything exciting will result from Brian being stuck on twitter.

Whether he writes it or not, that sounds like bad idea to me. Unless it's actually something he really wanted to do...right.

I think that's what they mean. A band member will type as Brian dictates.

Can't you just bookmark the page and read it on the web without joining?

Post by: Amanda Hart on August 12, 2009, 10:49:27 AM
Yes, you can bookmark it and not join.  I have been getting pressured to make a twitter account for work, so I guess this is the extra incentive I needed to do it.

One of my friends from college is Ben Kweller's web admin. and they do a lot of giveaways on twitter and I know a lot of other artists are getting into that, so maybe that will be the surprise.

Yeah you could, but if you join you can send messages to Brian then he or the band might respond

I've never been to the Twitter website and don't intend to ever. What is it? Is it something where someone updates regularly with what they're doing?

I don't like that very much. I don't like people knowing what I'm up to and have no interest in knowing what others are up to unless it's something significant and worth sharing.

Although ... imagine Brian with Twitter 20-30 years ago!

Sometimes, I feel all warm and nostalgic for the days of old, when there were no cell phones, no ringtones, no emails, no laptops, no CDs, no playstations, no iPods, no CDs, no internet, no Twitter....

...just warm ole' vinyl, and the occasional brief announcement in Rolling Stone, Goldmine, the NME, about the possibility of a new Beach Boys album, which could make you jump for joy....

...visiting a record fair, and finding a mint copy of the SMiLE LP, 1985 edition, with the leaflet, and deciding not to buy it, on moral and ethical grounds....

...those were the days...
