Maybe he was referring to Brian’s back issues

Yeah, that song is awful

Quite well done, I have to say:  https://youtu.be/NAzZbsaiDMQ

Ah, maybe!

The official Brian Wilson YouTube channel has posted sound bites of Brian talking about some Beach Boys songs.
It sounds like these are from an old interview, but it seems to me that most are previously unpublished.

Can anybody date the interview? Maybe around the Endless Harmony documentary?

At this point, which tracks recorded in 1969 have not been officially released yet?

I can think of "What Can The Matter Be ?", but is there anything else?
Could it be that, simply, there were not expiring tracks in need to be released this year?

The "Feel Flow" set and "On Tour: 1969" are now on Spotify...




it's what I would say if they were on Spotify. 

The real new info comes from Bruce, the rest is (likely correct) speculation

Is today the day?

Why would it be?

Historical data:

Last year's 1968 releases were announced and dropped on December 7th/8th.

"Sunshine Tomorrow 2" and the live '67 digital releases hit on December 8th, 2017.

The '66 live stuff - December 9, 2016.

Is today the day?

Jeffrey Foskett Shares 'Voices,' Possibly His Last Album As a Singer

https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/8544409/jeffrey-foskett-premieres-voices


TL;DR: The longtime Beach Boys and Brian Wilson collaborator was diagnosed with Anaplastic thyroid cancer during early 2018. Surgeries and treatments have robbed him of one of his vocal cords and, essentially, the versatile voice with the soaring upper register that helped add authenticity to any harmonic situation he encountered.

Ah, beautiful! You can always count on Al Jardine 

I would absolutely watch every minute of it

Yeah that was a bit rough. They definitely sound better usually.
I wonder if they had to use the house engineer rather than their own.

I noticed they played the "early mix" ending of GV with the flute. When did they start playing that?

The Beach Boys at The George H.W. Bush Points of Light Awards Gala, September 26, 2019:

Pretty cool to hear about Bruce.

Interesting to note that nearly all the Beach Boys were in New York that night.
Brian, Al and Blondie at the Beacon, Mike and Bruce at the Bush gala and Ricky Fataar happened to be in town as well.
Apparently Blondie and Ricky (and Steve Fataar) bumped into each other in the streets on NYC! Photo evidence below.

Imagine if they all took the chance to meet for a photo op..

Anyone knows where Dave was that night?

Maybe "Heroes & Villains"?

Creepy as hell

Is that a parody video?

Lana Del Rey's new single contains a BB reference:


I miss Long Beach and I miss you, babe
I miss dancing with you the most of all
I miss the bar where the Beach Boys would go
Dennis's last stop before Kokomo


https://youtu.be/LrSX_OcpeJg?t=255


I guess she misses Chez Jay? Dunno.


Also: at 7:39 you can see "Pacific Ocean Blue" in the jukebox.

Just got back from the "Beach Boys" / Ringo show at Ravinia. Jeff was there.

Did he sing?

It absolutely is another version of Waves of Love

“California Beach,” the second single off the album: https://youtu.be/ENJ3LkHMMzw

 
Is there a recent interview, or do we know of any interview coming out soon, where Brian might have said something he didn't mean?

"Rockaway Beach" is now on Spotify (Europe)
