Title: OK, let's see what we have lined up... Post by: Andrew G. Doe on February 06, 2011, 10:46:50 AM Alan joined Mike & Bruce on stage for the first time in twelve years and nine months...
Capitol are releasing a Smile project in the summer... Brian's recording a new album, probably out in the fall... Brian's touring Canada & Europe later this year... Yup, busy ol' year, and it's only February. ;D Title: Re: OK, let's see what we have lined up... Post by: Mike's Beard on February 06, 2011, 10:51:11 AM Yup we won't be short of subjects to discuss for a while as yet.
Title: Re: OK, let's see what we have lined up... Post by: Rocker on February 06, 2011, 10:52:29 AM Yes, it sure looks like it could really be a very good anniversary year. Like you say, only February and we already saw and read interesting stuff. I am excited and feel the "excitations" climbing
Beach Boys, there are the chances. Now....... blow them.... ::) Title: Re: OK, let's see what we have lined up... Post by: Jason on February 06, 2011, 10:53:21 AM I like the prospects already stated but I have one more to add.
MORE DENNIS! Title: Re: OK, let's see what we have lined up... Post by: rab2591 on February 06, 2011, 11:02:47 AM I picked a fantastic time to become a Beach Boys fan!
Title: Re: OK, let's see what we have lined up... Post by: The Shift on February 06, 2011, 11:23:47 AM I like the prospects already stated but I have one more to add. MORE DENNIS! Good call.

Post by: letsmakeit31 on February 06, 2011, 11:41:04 AM Also lots of respect and praise from music peers both Young and Old, Lots of positive press everywhere, TV Docs and interviews, Slot at Glastonbury (Too late I know), Smile in the top ten at least in our dreams no1 if only to prove Brian was wrong not to finish it (But I do understand why he didn't finish it). I'm sure most of this is already in the pipe line it's all wait and see but I for one am feeling positive 2011 the year of the Beach Boys :-D
Title: Re: OK, let's see what we have lined up... Post by: drbeachboy on February 06, 2011, 11:43:36 AM Hi Jon,
A little more bone, please. A general FAQ or some FAQ's that we here can sink our teeth into? Title: Re: OK, let's see what we have lined up...

Maybe Jon S can throw us a bone??? http://halleonardbooks.com/search/search.do?subsiteid=168&keywords=FAQ&menuid=10283 Did Brian's management purposefully leave 9/15/11 as an open date so that Brian would be able to do a Special UK Booksigning with you? Title: Re: OK, let's see what we have lined up... Post by: Jon Stebbins on February 06, 2011, 11:56:54 AM Hi Jon, Look at some of the other examples that are available now, like the Beatles volumes, the Pink Floyd volume...mine will be a similar format but will retain my writing style. It will be a very detailed look at the whole career, with tons of in-depth analysis on the music and the history. Think reference book, but done so in a series of 30 to 40 essays or chapters, plus various lists and session info etc... I've been working on it (on and off) since mid last year, I'll be working on it for another month or so, then we go to the editing process. Should be available in the late summer. Lots of cool photos and memorabilia images of stuff from my collection too.A little more bone, please. A general FAQ or some FAQ's that we here can sink our teeth into? I hope to be involved in some other 50th related things too, but for now this FAQ book is the only thing I've going that is a confirmed and scheduled release.

Title: Re: OK, let's see what we have lined up... Post by: Runaways on February 06, 2011, 12:03:00 PM Let's not forget the Mama Mia like beach boys movie. Fox 2000 paid 2 million dollars for the pitch, so i'm sure that's coming.
then the dennis wilson movie as a follow up for the "bottle shock" filmmakers. That movie was a hit at sundance when it came out. So it's in good hands i think.

Apparently Stamos has a grubby finger in both those pies (certainly the "Mama Mia"-type thing), so that's an immediate two thumbs down from me. Title: Re: OK, let's see what we have lined up...

Post by: Runaways on February 06, 2011, 12:50:20 PM well the beach boys one won't have anyone playing beach boys. It's gonna be a romance set in the 1960's no doubt. i'd say y'all won't like it.
and the dennis one, well the filmmakers will have final say for sure. Title: Re: OK, let's see what we have lined up...

However... I was thinking more of a hint as to whether any fresh Dennis material will see light of day this year? Title: Re: OK, let's see what we have lined up... Post by: Jay on February 06, 2011, 08:04:12 PM Alan joined Mike & Bruce on stage for the first time in twelve years and nine months... I just realised something. If the group reunites and goes on tour without Brian, it will be the first time since 1981 where the group will be actively on tour while another member is persuing a solo career/album. Right?Capitol are releasing a Smile project in the summer... Brian's recording a new album, probably out in the fall... Brian's touring Canada & Europe later this year... Yup, busy ol' year, and it's only February. ;D Title: Re: OK, let's see what we have lined up...

Post by: OneEar/OneEye on February 07, 2011, 12:02:02 PM I'm expecting to be disappointed (because of too may past promises), but we will see. And I can't help thinking, as someone previously pointed out, all these guys are pushing 70 - if they are gonna open the flood gates of material - Smile and non-Smile alike - then it may as well be now.

Post by: donald on February 07, 2011, 01:49:20 PM I'd like to see a new comprehensive bio 2 DVD release. A new career spanning (including each decade) bio carefully editing and blending new unreleased footage and interviews with existing and previously released material.
I really don't think that is too much to ask. Just something approximating the Beatles release a few years ago. ;) Maybe include 2 BRAND NEW Beach Boys songs! Title: Re: OK, let's see what we have lined up... Post by: rab2591 on February 07, 2011, 02:23:46 PM Let's not forget that 'Brian Wilson - Songwriter' just came out as well.
Philip Lambert's analysis of 'God Only Knows' + 'Cabinessence' and 'Heroes and Villains' played alongside that amazing footage = worth every penny. Title: Re: OK, let's see what we have lined up... Post by: Jay on February 07, 2011, 08:06:39 PM You know what I would love to see? A book detailing the legal hassle that lead to the CD release of Dennis's Pacific Ocean Blue, along with a chapter or three detailing the discovery and restoration of the unreleased tracks that ended up on the POB/Bambu Deluxe Edition set. :)
