I gotta go make tea now but please feel free to discuss while I'm gone… 

[stack-o-tracks]

Glad I made my tea before I turned the computer on. 

[Chris Brown]

I don't entirely buy the August 9 date, although it would be nice if true. I would think an announcement would have to come pretty soon if that was the case though, right?

[Sam_BFC]

Well Brian's twitter has something about Smile today as well if that means anything.

Can't wait for you to hear SMiLE this Summer. I felt that it was too advanced for its time back in '67. Now it should be cool. - Brian

I'd reckon that it does mean something...  Exactly what, I don't know, but Brian or Melinda or whoever tweets for BriMel probably isn't just saying something like that at random.  Perhaps some final details of the project have been set, and Brian's camp just received word of it?  We shall see...

[B-Rex]

One line was written haphazardly, but it sounds as if Feel Flows was salvaged from SMiLE.  Is there any truth to this or is it just a case of poor writing and Surf's Up was what was meant by the writer?

Thanks for this Wee Helper.

The Aug 9th date matches what DirectCurrentMusic were stating a few weeks back. Whether the writer's just nicking that date, or perhaps Mike's confirmed the date? Who knows.

Nice to see Brian hinting at a summer release as well. Perhaps we will see this in August after all.

As for the Feel Flows/Smile reference I'd be amazed. You'd think that info would've slipped out in the intervening years. Must be getting mixed up with SU.

[Andrew G. Doe]

August... dubious. Would be nice, if only because it would pee off a few folk slightly sooner, but... dubious.

Then again, who would have thought they would have all got back together in the studio within the past week ?

[SloopJohnB]

Then again, who would have thought they would have all got back together in the studio within the past week ?

So... It actually happened?

[Jason]

They did... AGD beat me to the punch!

Nah - I'm abusing my position as fount of wisdom for all things Wilsonian. 

[SloopJohnB]

I'm sure both of you realize we're going to need more details

[Jason]

Andrew, how long do you reckon it will be before the cynics step in and say we're spewing useless "insider information"?

Poor writing.

Spew away, insiders, spew away!!

Gotta check with the insiders on the top of the insider food chain!

Gah! Typical insider talk

The details will appear on WikiLeaks, along with the latest leaked US government info!

[SMiLE Brian]

That wikileaks is in trouble not for leaking the  government's information, but the government is really after wikileaks after leaking information about AMERICA'S BAND and SMiLE.

As for the Feel Flows/Smile reference I'd be amazed. You'd think that info would've slipped out in the intervening years. Must be getting mixed up with SU.

When talking about Feel Flows, Mike mentions Charles Lloyd by name. So, I doubt very much that he got his songs mixed up.

It's too inappropriate. It's a threat to national security!

[SMiLE Brian]

Brian's comments of inappropriate music was not just opinion, it was actual national security policy put in by the Nixon Administration to protect the public until 2011 when it was finally deemed acceptable for release.

My insider info only mentioned that Brian and Mike got together and recorded Do It Again (again) but did not mention any other Beach Boys (Al, Bruce, or David).  Are you saying you have definitive info saying all surviving BBs were present?  I understand that some session musicians were used (seems odd to me that Mike or Brian's bandmembers were not used or used exclusively) for this new version.

I welcome someone else's better insider info to beat up my insider info with many more details...  

[Bicyclerider]

Not sure if the release date is actually from Mike or the writer put it in:

"He says he hasn’t heard what the project as it will be released on Aug. 9 sounds like" could have been mike saying "I haven't heard yet what they're releasing on the CD's" or something to that effect, and the writer rephrased it with the date.  It's not in quotes so that makes me suspicious.

I can categorically state that no dead Beach Boys were present.

However, all the California/Nevada residents were.
