That would be 'new' as in 'newly recorded', as Brian has stated in a recent interview that none are newly-written.
Didn't he also claim that one of the songs was titled 'He Come Down'? I wouldn't take what Brian says in an interview as the gospel truth.

Now it was posted that Brian confirmed that  'He Come Down' is not the same song as 'He Came Down' from CATP, but could it be a reworking of "God Did It"( I think that was the title)  from the Paley sessions?
I throw that out there if its true nothing is newly written...

we've been referring to the 25 tracks that are in the can already and that they are going back in the studio in the spring.. Let's not forget the 3 CD plan that they announced not that long ago.. With the Life Suite as one of the CD's so lets just see what happens.. Smiley

I'd have let Jack Rieley manage the band from Holland like he wanted, and just added a assistant for the things that he couldn't do from that location. The Love brothers (Stan and Steve)
needed to be not involved.
129  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Blondie Chaplin to Guest with BW on Some Dates on: September 10, 2013, 07:12:13 PM
Thanks Howie!

I'm not expecting that much from the Blondie dates on this tour. If he was going to appear on all the dates I would expect a lot more but as it sits, I'd expect Blondie on stage for 3 or 4 songs in a guesting role each night and not as a preforming member of the tour. (ie on stage for the full duration)

Love to be shown wrong though   Smiley

I also don't think those lyrics are that bad.. it was just a unnecessary rewrite as the original were decent and had that BW charm to them. Smiley

love too,  and he's been asked by others for more info... however, Blondie doesn't post on his own FB account but has a friend do it for him...  So when Blondie is ready to tell he'll pass that info on..
132  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Brian's facebook just posted a picture of Blondie Chaplin recording at Oceanway. on: August 23, 2013, 12:06:27 PM
Blondie confirmed it on his FB account today -- and also said he was working on the album as a whole, not a specific track. So that would be an interesting development ...

I too have Blondie on FB, and I don't see him saying anything like the second part of your statement.. just that he's in studio working with Brian on Brian' new CD , that doesn't necessarily mean multiple tracks...
hope its true though..  Smiley

Blondie and Brian already collaborated, some years ago, on Anton Fig's Figments album, the song "Hand On My Shoulder" and bloody good it is too - Brian's background vocals are terrific. Short sample:

http://www.antonfig.com/songs/HOMS.mp3

More on the collaboration:

http://www.antonfig.com/brianwilson.htm

Mods: the MP3 is a legit link from Anton Fig's own website  Smiley


much as I loved this whole project with Anton Fig, I do remember reading at the time that Brian and Blondie where never in the studio at the same time.. In fact I had read that Brian had a chance to meet Blondie in the studio during these sessions but passed on the opportunity, saying something to the effect that he didn't know Blondie. Whether that was Brian on a bad day, or that Brian really never had much contact with the outer circle of BB's from 72-74 and doesn't really know him.

what I'm saying is we really shouldn't read to much into this.. Blondie was close to Carl and Dennis, and not necessarily Brian, and this visit to Ocean Way may be  mainly just a nice gesture from Brian's PR team more then anything.

Blondie as a active member of this Brian solo CD?  Man, I'd love to hear it !    Smiley Smiley Smiley
134  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: The Beach Boys Look Back with 'Wendy' - another MIC teaser! on: August 20, 2013, 06:29:33 AM
If Carl was still with us I'd doubt we'd ever hear that one... horrible guitar break in the middle!  Smiley
135  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: What if follow up to ''Holland'' on: August 08, 2013, 08:44:09 PM

Day Break   (mike/al)

fyi, the song's written solely by mike.

I was looking at this more as a song that Al might get more involved in (sharing the lead perhaps)
as I had said.. I'm speculating that these songs would have been reworked for the era (Hollandish)
136  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: What if follow up to ''Holland'' on: August 07, 2013, 04:31:10 PM
depends on how long after Holland we're talkin'

If your talking when Blondie and Ricki were still there I would imagine a lineup something like this...

side1

River Song  (dennis/blondie)
We Got Love  (blondie/Ricci)
Good Timin'  (brian/carl)
Day Break   (mike/al)
Rainbows (dennis/carl)
Carry Me Home (dennis/blondie)

side 2
I Don't Wanna Know (mike/carl)
Hard Times (blondie/Ricci)
In The Country (al)
You're Riding High On The Music (brian)
Glow Crescent Glow (mike)

very little Carl here.. seemed that when Jack R left, he stopped writing,
as for the flow of this material, it really doesn't in its current form ...
but, if it would have been produced back then (slide guitars and Grateful D influence)
perhaps it could have become something more...

imho
Doc Smiley    Smiley

(no Susie Cinncinati, it was just a old B side until 15 Big Ones came around needing more oldie style material...)

137  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Thread for various insignificant questions that don't deserve their own thread! on: August 06, 2013, 02:38:45 PM
And…


Al's Raspberries Strawberries
Seasons in the Sun (Carl sings lead)
Carnival/Over the Waves (group vocals)
Walkin' (Brian and/or Al)
I'm Going Your Way (Dennis)
You Never Give Me Your Money (no clue)


just steppin in here to help...

chorus of "In My Window" is based on the chorus of "Raspberries Strawberries"
"Seasons in the Sun"  is often booted
Carnival/Over the Waves (group vocals) is also commonly booted, makes me wonder if "What Can The Matter Be?" isn't part of that ... music to play at a Fair suite??
"Walkin' " and "I'm Going Your Way" are on the Get The Boot set....

that just leaves "You Never Give Me Your Money"  Beatle cover??

138  Smiley Smile Stuff / The Beach Boys Media / Re: The Official BB You Tube Thread on: July 09, 2013, 09:54:00 AM
btw  that is the best quality version of IGAF  I've ever heard!
139  Smiley Smile Stuff / The Beach Boys Media / Re: The Official BB You Tube Thread on: July 09, 2013, 09:53:18 AM
does have a Holy Man feel to it.. mind you Dennis was used to reusing "feels"  that he likes just like his brother does.
Is it the same? no I don't believe so.. but very similar.
 :-)

The two opposed yet (at that time) conjoined musical impulses of the band are embodied in the "Break Away"/"Celebrate The News" 45. When we get past worrying about which is "better," we can see the reason why we are all still here talking about this stuff  40+ years after the single was released. No other band has such a wide range of music that all somehow works under the collective rubric of a "band name."

I hope both tracks will be on MIC; they both deserve to make the cut.


oh oh!, Booklets go back to the printers again, looks like a June '14 release now  Roll Eyes Wink
141  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: UPDATED: I met with Alan Boyd last week on: April 21, 2013, 01:30:37 PM
I'd like to hear a version of Happy Endings that doesn't have Little Richard singing on it. He ruins that one for me....

Thanks.. never heard this version before...
surprisingly good, didn't think Terry had that good a voice till now.

I think Al doing some leads on a new Brian CD would be so cool  Smokin Smokin Smokin Smokin
144  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Carry Me Home on: April 13, 2013, 03:53:22 PM
me bad... I should have typed it out long form... (Made In California)
where did I get MAD from?  no idea (a brain cramp)

As for the time needed for the booklets and such, your right, I have no idea, just seems that in 21 century, having the booklets done 135 days in advance of the release seems ridiculous. I've seen bands recording in the studio in September rushing for a Christmas release ??

don't Phil me guys, I was just speculating on a idea that I thought would be pretty cool... 
145  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Carry Me Home on: April 13, 2013, 03:00:58 PM
 LOL LOL LOL

I'm no Phil Cohen, so I'll take my chances..  For a August release I wouldn't think the booklets are done yet anyway.

besides Brian can always use it on his next solo record if he desires...


cheers

Its a stretch, but why not?    Cool

Because there's absolutely no evidence whatsoever that it's happened.

all very true, .here's absolutely no evidence

All I'd like to add is.... certain people and organizations follow this board

147  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Carry Me Home on: April 13, 2013, 02:33:13 PM
I look at it this way...

Brian in the last couple of years has done covers of "Forever" (Dennis) and "Heaven" (Carl) with pretty decent results and I would think has heard pretty positive comments on both.  The compilation of MAD has surely had some input from Brian if not song selection.  If I was one of the compilers of the box and had a decent instrumental track for a song the fan boys want (IGAF) and a live version to use as a guide.. why not ask Brian to finish it?

It is just as legit as the completed "Holy Man" on the POB set and as its Brian, would be even more so...
To say Brian's never heard it is pure speculation as well....

Its a stretch, but why not?    Cool
148  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Carry Me Home on: April 13, 2013, 10:11:00 AM
why not? stranger things have happened.  Smiley

Why not? Because he's working with Jim Keltner, a drummer. He must be recording new backing tracks.


could be working on more than one thing however.. Roll Eyes
149  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Carry Me Home on: April 13, 2013, 07:57:40 AM
pure speculation (wishing)

Brian Wilson, currently in studio with Don Was,  recording a lead vocal for  "I've Got A Friend" so that this
tune could be included in the upcoming box set.

why not? stranger things have happened.  Smiley
150  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Wouldn't It Be Nice To Live Again on: April 08, 2013, 06:10:43 PM
Carry Me Home should be on the box set as well as California Slide. .
No question in my mind...   Grin
