My band just finished our second album, recorded entirely at home. Check it out here:

Somewhat related but these clips have just been loaded on YouTube allegedly from the Sirius show 19 April 2012 where Melinda had put auto tune on the mics according to Mike.

Good Vibrations

Car Medley

https://youtu.be/aVEcZu0o1l4

I listened fairly closely and I truly can't detect any autotune here. Mike has a voice where autotune is fairly noticeable(see his solo work...) and none of that seems to be apparent here. That being said, this might be the best performance of the 'Car Medley' I've heard.

This link may work:

EDIT: It appears to not work either, I'll try elsewhere tomorrow.

With the large amount of time in quarantine, I got bored and did a little experiment to replace to huge sounding artificial drums on the Summer in Paradise record with something a little more natural. I only did it on a few tracks,  here's a sample of the title track:

This isn't a final mix or anything, but thought I'd share my little experiment.

I want to make a joke but honestly I'm just happy that Brian and Mike are probably sharing a laugh and having a good time together.

I still don't like Kokomo, but having the Bruce harmony louder on this version makes it a lot nicer sounding.

We'll be releasing a new single within the next week and then a new album next month! We are hoping to get more Spotify followers so if you could follow us here we would be very grateful indeed.

Am I the only one that is super stoked that Randell is back?? Also happy that Christian is back as well. Brian E was good, but I liked Randell's leads better. And hearing Christian back in the vocal blend is great! Didn't realize how much I missed his voice in the blend after he left.

I think the blend will probably improve. Ike was good but very bland. Christian is also my third favorite person to sing God Only Knows, behind Carl(of course) and Brian. I'd rather have a live vocal than Carl on video too. Mike needs to stop trying to sing along with the falsetto part at the end of GOK though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZ4pb9iykV0

Here's a recent video of Bob Dylan performing a rearrangement of his song "Thunder On The Mountain." Sound familiar?

It ended up being a huge failure with no live questions and Mike mostly inaudible.

Mike is live on ASCAP's instagram right now taking questions.

My guess is that AJR is Mike's daugher Ambha, who has sung that song live with the BB before.

Mike plays a little bit of background sax on "Surf Jam" I believe.

We just put out a new single on Spotify, check it out, it's a fun little pop tune:

I'm wondering if Brian's just bored with Pet Sounds?  Asking cause I just saw this video from the soundcheck from this very tour
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1d-k31-sn-s
and go to about the 2:15 mark and let it play for a bit..

so the voice is still there, esp. when he's relaxed and he's still into it. Also, his keyboard is definitely audible.

Al's reaction to the disco version of Here Comes The Night is great! 

The best version IMO

I was at the concert in Portland Maine July 7 and Mike had about a 1 minute introduction to the song! https://youtu.be/gR944nioqAA


Also thought over all the whole concert rocked and they really put on a show! I Loved that they performed Summer In Paradise! That sounded great! https://youtu.be/eENLI9YfYnU

Does Mike make a joke about Flint, Michigan beforehand?

It was Brown Sugar for Blondie a few shows ago.

No orchestra at Tanglewood, I was there.

Brian also did three little snippets of River Deep, Mountain High throughout the show. Sung by Mertens, Probyn, and little bit of Blondie. Probably about 30 seconds each time. Someone(Al?) asked what it was and Brian said a bit about Phil Spector.

Two lawn seat some to Tanglewood still available, make me an offer!

I have two extra lawn tickets to the Tanglewood show this Sunday. PM me if interested, $50 for both which is below face value.

Anyone know what time M&B will be on tonight?

Are the Boston Pops not playing at the Tanglewood show anymore? They're not in the event description now.
