How many times is he going to tamper with that "Waves of Love" song?

This song was recorded and released back in the late 90's.  Mike and Bruce were probably most likely asked to appear on the track rather than it being their idea.  Pretty sure the band's legacy wasn't really tarnished over this song.  🤷‍♂️

If you're daring enough to hear the whole thing:

I always liked this song and thought it easily was one of their best later-period tracks.  For all the flack this album gets (and don't get me wrong, this is not a great album by any stretch) as well as L.A. (Light Album), if you compiled the best songs from both albums you'd have a pretty decent effort.  Something like this:

KTSA
Good Timin'
Some of Your Love
Full Sail
Angel Come Home
Livin' With a Heartache
Sunshine
Lady Lynda
Baby Blue
Goin' On

No "Love surrounds me"? That to me is one of the greatest later tracks the Beach Boys ever did.

Oh right.  I knew I forgot one of them.  You can swap it out with "Sunshine" or "Some of Your Love".  😊

Don't swap out "Sunshine" - that would be a travesty.

"Some Of Your Love" is pretty good, but these days I can't help hearing "Mike Come Back to L.A." and it puts me off that song a little!

Oh fine then.  🤣  Assuming a single LP can fit all these songs on then we don't have to drop anything.  Or make one of these songs strictly the B-side for the "Goin' On" single if it can't fit on the album.  Then it could have served as the "bonus track" for the eventual CD release. 

"Some Of Your Love" is unquestionably lightweight, but I still enjoy listening to it whenever it pops in my shuffle.  And "Summer Of Love" definitely seems to borrow a thing or two from it.

It's great that SiriusXM brought back this station and how they're not afraid to dig deep with the track listing.  However I have to admit I get quickly fatigued by this station after only a few minutes of listening to it.  Not sure what it is.  Maybe it's the jarring track listing that jumps all over the place.  One minute you're listening to an extremely early track like "Stoked" followed by something off of TWGMTR.  Or maybe it's because I keep hearing the same tracks over and over again (I'm looking at you, "Help Me Rhonda").  Or maybe it's the fact that I've heard most of these songs so many times before in my life that I've become desensitized to them.  Not trying to complain though; I just think this station works best for me in small doses. Anybody else feel this way?

Another BW tribute album by a bunch of artists I've never heard of.  🤷‍♂️

I’d like to welcome you to the Old Farts Club. I’ve had the same indifference for about 20 years now and it worries me not one dot. 👍

Think I've already been there for quite some time now.  🤣  There's been enough BW/BB tribute albums by no-name indie artists to make an endless supply of drink coasters for everyone to go around.  Aren't there any relevant artists that would like to participate in one of these things...?

Every time I've put it on I've heard "Help Me Rhonda" and "Spirit of America" more times than necessary on any given day.

Here's a few:

"Crash Position" - Duncan Maitland

"The Fool Sings Without Any Song" - The Chamber Strings
https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=UAk-I2qd-0M&feature=share

"I'm A Broken Heart" - The Bird & the Bee
https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=08kW_0axDv4&feature=share

"Summer In Her Hair" - Seth Swirsky
https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=m7k0n9HbiRM&feature=share

"Sweetness In Her Spark" - Lightships
https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=lq1mfhgWsdY&feature=share

Although hardly a remarkable song in and of itself, I wouldn't call it one of the band's worst songs either.  There are too many contenders for that.  The fact that Ringo plays the drums on it is pretty cool; too bad they didn't have him drum on a better song though.  🤷‍♂️

It's been confirmed on BW's social media:

Conspicuously it looks like Brian will only be appearing in video form with the Wilson girls singing along with him.  Not sure why he's not with them in person unless his health or age are factors.

Cool insight!  I plan on picking this release up as All Things Must Pass is easily one of my all-time favorite albums.  Will probably pass on the deluxe set as I honestly don't care all that much about outtakes which seems to be the meat of the bonus stuff. 

Been a sub for a long time so have been waiting for this....

It's an interesting list and perspective from these guys.  It would seem that their last album That's Why God Made the Radio scored a little lower than I would have put it.  But still some decent lists. 

I am just reading those notes now.  Very insightful.  Thanks for sharing!  The Harrison camp has been fairly quiet on any new releases concerning All Things Must Pass but I imagine if they have any plans for a full album remix we'll hear of them hopefully soon.

Well speak of the devil...

Is it just me or does it seem as if the Beatles' overall popularity has cooled a little these days?  Not that I put much stock in Rolling Stone but it was a tad eye-opening when Sgt. Pepper unceremoniously dropped off the top spot of their "500 Greatest Albums" list and fell into the teens.  And besides that they just don't seem to be getting quite as much general attention they usually get.  I don't have much evidence to base this off but just have noticed that vibe in the last few years.

Nice to see Brian is still active.  Glad to hear he has a new song in the can and another documentary waiting to be released.  Things had been very quiet with him for the most part during this pandemic (with the Colbert appearance being an exception).  I was starting to wonder about his health.

Was this situation similar back in '96/'97 when the Pet Sounds Sessions was released?

At least in terms of the prolonged waiting process and uncertainty?

I guess the internet and message boards weren't what they are today, but curious how the current FF state with everyone on the edge of their seats waiting for info compares to a quarter century ago.

I'm not sure of the exact timing, but I recall the main thing about the PS box was that it was known about, and the sampler (which I believe included the full stereo remix plus some bonus tracks) all leaked out the full year or so before the set was released. People knew the thing existed and was pulled from release very late in the game, so I think there was a feeling that it was almost certainly going to come out, it was just a question of when.

I actually owned that sampler after finding it in a record shop while visiting Ohio.  Owned the stereo mix well before the box set came out.  I remember trying to convince folks on the AOL BB message forum that I had it and no one believed me at the time.  🤷‍♂️

I came on this thread like 30 mins ago and like a billion people we're viewing it yet there's no news.

Thought we got a release date

If it's allegedly coming out in July they better hurry up and give the thing an official announcement. 

Not a bad interview but they both look a little silly wearing the same clothes and those ridiculous sunglasses.

Jeff Foskett is definitely on the BBs version of CALIFORNIA DREAMIN'. Can't say Adrian Baker isn't, too, though. Both were in the band at the time.

Wasn't the 1986 single culled from an earlier 1983 version [link below]?  It was touched up and reworked for the Made In the U.S.A. compilation.  So there's no telling who was singing the high parts and when they were recorded.

Listening to the early version, the high part very well could be Bruce.

I really enjoy Golden State.  Kinda has a 'long-lost 70's Brian song' vibe to it.

Yeah I'm digging this song too.  You should check out Duncan Maitland if you like this song:

It's coming.
It's major.

The machine is at full speed.

Hoping for an official announcement soon.
