Billboard: Mike Love: BBs planning new album

[Pinder's Gone To Kokomo And Back Again]

"Summer Of Love"

[dmcguire70]

Sorry guys,but for me, no Carl and no Brian falsetto= No Beach Boys.

[Pinder's Gone To Kokomo And Back Again]

I'd be inclined to agree, but I wonder what would happen if they really (and I mean REALLY) LET Al and Bruce go all out. Bruce can still nail a killer falsetto, I'd think, and Al's certainly still got the pipes!

When Mike talked about writing new songs, did anybody else get the feeling that he was talking about the "new" songs from his unreleased "Unleash The Love" album?  I wonder if Brian and Mike can still come up with a good song or two. I'm talking about a song that is 100% totally new. No old melodies or lyrics from obscure unreleased or unrecorded songs from the last thirty years. Do you think they can still come up with something totally new and original?

[Pinder's Gone To Kokomo And Back Again]

Cool Head, Warm Heart could have made a killer Beach Boys track!

[Jay]

I had a dream that I heard a brand new Beach Boys recording. Actually, it was a video for a new single.  It was a song I had never heard before. Unfortunately, I remember very little of it.   I remember that Brian sounded very good though.

Was it "Leaving This World"?

or "Don't Worry Baby, I've Got Life-Alert"?

dammit erik

[Jay]

It was a cross between Getcha Back and Somewhere Near Japan. With real instruments.   The video was in black and white and showed the group driving around in an old classic car. Jeff Foskett was there too. I remember the video had quick flashes of pictures and footage of Carl throughout the whole video. There were also flashes of the circa 1980 interview of a bearded Dennis on a boat.

Seriously could we stop it with the dumb poking-fun song titles? Please mods? I myself personally don't come to this board for the laughs. I come to have insightful discussion. And honestly if this happens, its a pretty big deal. It is the band that all of us here love really making an attempt to record a new studio album.

I think regardless of quality, that it would be great in a certain way to see REAL Beach Boys back on the charts with new material, written by their leader, Brian Wilson. Yes, Carl and Denny are no longer with us, but once again i think this could be equivalent for the Beach Boys of what BWPS was for Brian. A chance to really prove what made them great.

Terrible but funny!

Hey, Brian's voice sounds fantastic, as does Mike and Bruce's - and Al still sounds like he's in his early 20s. And I hear David's guitar playing is top notch. Brian is still capable of writing some great melodies. I really can't wait to see what they do!

What a sourpuss.

Is it really that big of a deal that people are poking fun at song titles?

You should definitely stay out of the dirty jokes thread, you'd probably end up washing your eye balls out with soap afterwards.

Ya know what, I really really like the sound of that! The whole idea is just..... nice.....!

Something like this could really really work!

As could "ED Song" or "Moanin"

[Runaways]

the only thing wrong with the song title puns is that they're god awful

It is when some people are trying to have a serious discussion. That joke thread is in the Sandbox for a reason.

[Pinder's Gone To Kokomo And Back Again]

OK, OK! My sincere apologies!

The Beach Boys are deadly serious business!

And if anyone has any doubts:

SmileySmile IS the place for jokes. You want serious Beach Boy discussions head on over to the blueboard

In all seriousness, this is the greatest message board I have ever seen....there is a good balance of intelligent discussion and playful joking around on this board. If it were all jokes I would agree, but come on, a few weeks ago some of you guys were dissecting a photo of western(?) studios - checking clock time, what Brian was wearing, who the musicians and engineers were in the photo - just to see what song they were working on...I find that stuff to be incredible, and it's proof that this place isn't just for kicks, but for serious talk....and why not mellow it out with some jokes here and there?

Now, off to listen to 'When A Man Needs A Pacemaker'

[Pinder's Gone To Kokomo And Back Again]

God bless you, rab2591!

And I can't help but suspect that, among anyone, Brian himself would probably find all the puns funny!

"Don't Talk (Put My Hearing Aids In First)"
"I'm Waiting For The Bengay"
"Here Today (Gone Tomorrow)"

 and why is there still NO mention of DAVE?!?!?!
 

Because as cool as David is, and as legitimate a member of the band he was in the early years, he is seriously regarded as a beach boy only in a book and in this message board. Revisionism takes time. Ask Mike Love's fans.

Why only fuss about Marks' absence in these articles?  What about Ricky and Blondie?

And of course we mustn't forget one J Stamos,the real true  force behind the Beach Boys

[Pinder's Gone To Kokomo And Back Again]

Oh, but he'll be there! Rest assured  

[stack-o-tracks]

I can't even imagine a Beach Boys reunion without John Stamos.
