Brian cancels Sthlm, Oslo & Cphg in order to do studiowork...

The rock 'n roll album was Speed Turtle. 55 minutes of manic rock 'n roll condensed into a three-minute ditty.

True dat, AGD.  Maybe wishful thinking on Brian's part, but this could be the night. Read somewhere where he wants to make another 15 Big Ones type album of originals and covers.

Please God, no!  Maybe one or two covers at the most, but the rest let's hear originals, eh?

Ah well, some cover ideas:


My Way

I Just Called To Say I Love You

Mull Of Kintyre

Total Eclipse Of The Heart

Eye Of The Tiger

The Final Countdown

I Will Always Love You

Chiquitita

Fernando

Let Your Love Flow

Disco Duck

Kung Fu Fighting

I Love To Love You Baby


No dearth of good source material, really.

I'm partial to calling any possible new album, EP, whatever "50 big ones"

3000 big ones! (for yours truly, that is...)

Pretty big news - as long as the studio work doesn't involve new recording for Smile, I'm excited about the possibilities. Given that he used the word "unavoidable" I would think it's either some last-minute work on the Disney album or something involving the Beach Boys. A new project on his own wouldn't require such urgency.

What's it cost?  HOW disgusting and how long is the flight?

It can be as cheap as 20 pounds, with taxes. The taxes being the only cost pretty much.
Their planes are filthy, smell like sweat and puke, and you walk out with a horrible back pain. But it's worth it for the price! The flight is about 3 hours.

Do we have any reporters on scene to tell us what Brian's doing back in L.A.?

No-one's talking to me.

No change there, then. 

[Runaways]

i'm sure it's just gonna be awful covers.  i doubt brian has written any new tunes lately.  has he?

[rab2591]

In my dreams: he got a bit of inspiration on the tour, demoed a song in a local studio, and rushed back to LA to record it properly. A good start to pleasure island.

Most likely what was said above though: last minute recording for the Disney album. Just my opinion.

I share your dream. His genius returns and he tells the tour promoter to go to hell. "I'm goin' back to the STUDIO!"

[Peter Reum]

As I mentioned on the Shut Down II Board...I find it very interesting that Brian wants to do an album with an amusement park theme entitled Pleasure Island when the place where runaway boys are taken by the villains in Walt Disney`s Pinocchio where they are turned into donkeys and made enslaved laborers is also called "Pleasure Island." Hmmmmm.......

 Ah Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!

Given that the Disney album is mixed, mastered and in the hands of Disney... doubt it.  

I think I know... but I'm not going to tell you.

Do we have any time frame it will be released? I'm actually really looking forward to it!

Just great..
The Beach Boys recently canceled their Finnish gig (poor sales) and now Brian...
From two BB-related gigs down to zero in one week..


I do hope he's canceling for recording something great, like another version of Proud Mary.

Ahhhh good point...totally forgot about that.

And give us a hint?

Ugh, what a drag. Sorry

[Mikie]

Gotta be for the Beach Boys reunited reunion recording.  That's it.  Maybe a little bitta overdubbers.....

[Peter Reum]

Pleasure Island is the album Brian was talking about after the Disney songs album....not the Disney album itself.

[Andrew G. Doe]

Brian was talking about Pleasure Island fall 2008.

[Micha]

My Danish is a bit rusty

Do it in Linear B then.

[stack-o-tracks]

pleasure island.

New song title?

Or is that actually what Kokomo is about and I'm not reading between the lines?
