TLOS sessions postponed

[The Shift]

Andrew,

I have it on very good authority* that you are honest and vivacious and would never intentionally imply otherwise.

I just think it's important to credit sources - I mean to say, Keith Badman failed to do so, and look at the criticisms he got!

                                           


* I can't say on whose authority -  you'll just have to take my word for it! 

[Dancing Bear]

It's not like AGD threw us a stinky conspiracy theory about Brian's recording career. In fact, he only denied some reasons that Roger Ryan gave, gamely, for the postponement.

Just playing ping pong, no harm intended.

I was under the impression that Badman was motly criticised for inaccurate and/or misleading information as well as using other people's writings without due credit.

If somebody is told something in confidence, they have every right to withhold their source. The truth will come out eventually. Really, what we should be thankful for is that at least we know the postponement , such as it is, isn't due to bad health on Brian's part.

[SG7]

I don't care at this rate why it isn't out. All I know is when it comes out, I will probably buy it and do this  , this , and especially this

Same here!

I much prefer the whimsical, happy, idealistic lyrics of the TLOS version of Live Let Live than the self-important cause-song lyrics of the Artic Tale version.  Sorry, just my opinion.  I don't really like hearing a lecture from a Beach Boy song, but if Brian wants to sing about how nice the environment is I'm cool with that.  LOL

[carl r]

Hmm... it's not a Beach Boy song though, it's Brian and Van Dyke Parks, and that combination is normally guaranteed to offend certain people, whilst sending others into orbit. They are anti-war pro-environment lyrics which work very well for me.

[matt-zeus]

I'm disappointed as this has the potential to be Brians best solo work by far but will wait patiently for it to come out. This is the world of the Beach Boys so delays and no-shows are inevitable!

... but apparently not for Brian since he dumped 'em and replaced them with the far superior TLOS lyrics!

[carl r]

Yes, I guess TLOS is more autobiographical so VDP's lyrics maybe wouldn't have fitted.

I do find this whole thread bizarre in a way, Brian has a website, surely someone in his management team can field questions from fans and put the answers online. A lot is guesswork and leaks. This isn't Brian's fault, but it makes sense for the fans to be updated every now and then, about the what where and why... unless some of those people around are ultra-protective of their own insider status?

[LostArt]

I agree about the strange way that this has come about.  The mysterious disappearance of the thread on the brianwilsonfans website (that Dutch one, not the bloo), like some sort of government secret was being exposed.  Just tell us, ferchristssake.  Brian doesn't want to do it anymore, the band is busy with other projects, they're putting out a DVD instead, they don't quite know what they want to do yet, whatever.  Just tell us, the folks who really do have an interest in Brian's work, what's going on with this composition.   

[Amy B.]

It is strange how news hasn't come out from the official sources, but this happens a lot. Remember when they announced that Brian was going to premiere TLOS and someone spoke to Darian, who knew nothing about it at the time? Then everyone started questioning whether TLOS was real or a publicity thing to pressure Brian into working?
And it turned out that TLOS was real.

The pattern is that news comes from one of the band members, who was having a casual conversation. The person who was speaking to the band member leaks the information. Then everyone starts speculating and wondering why Brian's camp is keeping quiet. Then an insider (like AGD) throws in a few cryptic hints but can't say anything outright.

You wonder why Brian's camp doesn't say anything, but the other side is, why should they? Maybe the band members should be careful who they talk to.

I doubt that it's some traumatic, awful thing, given Brian's obvious good spirits at the Was (not Was) show. That said, if it's _not_ a traumatic, awful thing, why can't Brian's camp just put out some news?

Hey, how can you expect such infos from a team that doesn't even announce their own concerts?
