Point taken.

Sorry if I came off as... preachy? Something like that. It'd just be goofy if they could get this guy to act like he was doing something multiple times on film but not get him to pose for a staged picture. But hay, there are some interesting folk behind the modern day "Brian machine", so it's hard to say.

The staged studio footage,

I believe some was staged for Imagination, the Christmas album and BWPS. But at least for the latter two, it was done because filming schedules were short and they needed footage quickly. Nothing on those latter two videos seems particularly out of character -- and and Mark has said the footage was perfectly representative of the actual sessions. There has also been abundant real footage of Brian creating -- TLOS DVD, On Christmas Day web video, the footage from Darian's laptop on the Smile DVD.

The Imagination stuff is at a different level. It basically shows him producing tracks that he didn't produce, and arranging things he didn't arrange. It gave everything that followed it a bad name. I can understand the desire to do it -- it had been 10 years since his last big solo project -- but it has had repercussions.

Quote
people doubling Brian's leads live and especially on record (especially Jeff doing it),

Live, I don't see the problem. Lots of the songs are double-tracked, and re-creating that can take two voices. On record, I'm not sure what you're talking about. Happened in BWPS on a tune or two, but I'm not sure where else you're hearing this. Yes, Jeff does sing a lot of falsetto and "answer" type parts. And that does get on a nerve or two around these parts!

Quote
the staged "fun and sun" image they're giving him a good 45 years after it was appropriate - this is the sort of trickery that I find really annoying,

Where and when have they given him that image? The suit and tie at the grand piano for the Gershwin album? The suit and broken-down 50s backdrop of the TLOS pictures? If anything, they've been trying to make him look like an elder statesman. I mean, if anything, his folks are trying to keep Brian away from that image -- he wants to start all his live shows with California Girls, for Pete's sake!

Quote
but a photoshopped Facebook picture? Meh.

Agreed.

Brian at Ocean Way yesterday:

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150380545642241&set=a.452661542240.241240.34250497240&type=1&theater

(I'd post the photo but I don't know how to)

OK I use photosop quite a lot.

The hands are not 'shopped. Something funny is going on with Brian's face and head but I'm not convinced that it means he was not actually there. It may just be lighting effects or that its been 'shopped to bring out his face. Look at the hair, it's nearly impossible to photoshop hair that well and merge it into an existing image.

So my conclusion, admittedly from the low res pic on Facebook, is that the image has been played with in order to make it look nice but I am 70% sure it's not actually fake. But I am ready to be corrected, because there are some very strange things going on with Brian's nose

It's not faked, just oddly processed, according to someone who would know.

Whew.  Glad we got that straightened out.  I wonder if Brian ever thinks "f*** the money, get these people away from me?"

As an experienced photoshopper I am fully prepared to believe that.

It looks to me as if possibly Brian's face was very dark in the photo and somebody has selectively processed just that are (Brian's face) to play with. Most of the rest of the photo is untouched. It's a shame they didn't manage to blend the edges (eg. nose) in with the console better. Perhaps they were rushed for time.

It is also entirely possible that the image looked fine, and was then posted to facebook - FB has it's own image squashing algorithm which may have made the photo look less plausible.

As I said earlier, I'm a photoshop user and perfectly prepared to believe it's a real image where the only manipulation was in making it look nicer. Brian was there at the console in the pose depicted.

From http://www.knoxville.com/news/2011/oct/14/wayne-bledsoe-brian-wilson-on-disney-songs-and/?partner=RSS

Overall, Wilson seems to be in a very productive phase of his life.

"I feel a creative roll coming on, yeah, I do. I'm working on an album. It's just going to be great. All original stuff and, believe me, it's good stuff."

Wilson says he hopes to have the new album out possibly as soon as the end of this year.

"We're not working slow. We're working at a pretty good clip. My producer, Joe Thomas, and I are also writing songs together."

Wilson says tracks on the upcoming album include songs titled "The Private Life (of) Bill and Sue" and "Shelter."

"It's gonna be a really, really good album," he says.

Hm, so now we know for sure he's working with Joe Thomas again. Don't know what I think about it. Hope both of them have learned their lessons.
But it's great he seems to be on a roll. I think TSS and digging into the Disney and Gershwin songs might have spurred some new creativity. And of course I hope it will become a Beach Boys album

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

In a Billboard.com article, BW made it pretty clear this is a solo project:

"I'm starting another Brian Wilson album. We've got about five or six things in the works," Wilson tells Billboard.com. He adds that he anticipates making "just another album with good songs, some of it rock 'n' roll, some of it not."

Not me, I have no interest in the post Love You BB albums and expect we'd get more of the same. If Brian was in charge and using his current band with the other BBs singing and maybe writing a few words it might be good. But I see that as an unlikely scenario.

I'm looking forward to a new album of new material it does seem like a watershed time for Brian.

I like watchin' '60s radio TV
The black screen and songs really really
blow my mind!

That little blue box tells me who's singin'
and keeps bouncin' around -
it's kinda cool!

(Yeah)

It's gotta be '60s rock
every night at seven o' clock!
Melinda take all the dogs outside
gonna go in my mind and hide!

The Doors, you know, are pretty weird,
that creepy organ makes me think I'm dyin' -
what the hell!

I really like hearin' some 3 Dog Night
plus The Association's "Along Comes Mary"!
Where's my bong?

(Yeah)

It's gotta be '60s rock
every night at seven o' clock!

Please make it ALL Rock & Roll, Brian. None o' that wimp rock! Couple ballads will be OK, but let's boogie! Driving guitars and bass, drums, the whole nine yards. Give it a little Spectoresqe feel and you got a million and two seller!

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

I'm not sure I'd really want an entire full length album from The Beach Boys....but it'd be pretty great if they had 2 or 3 new songs on Brian's next solo album.

End of this year?! We're almost in NOVEMBER. I think he means 2012.

With reference to his recent BBC Radio interview, Brian said he was getting together with his friends Joe and Jeff to make an album. He said it wasn't a Beach Boys album.

Of course that doesn't stop him from also being involved in some sort of Beach Boys project. Why not do an EP? Surely the Boys between them have three good new (or at least unheard) songs they could add to the new Do It Again and fashion a decent EP.
