New album info (as it rolls out...)

[Emdeeh]

I love "No Wrong Notes in Heaven"! It would be a great one for the BBs to record.

[joe_blow]

Bill Jackson?

[ESQ Editor]

That's Why God Made the Radio Was I the only one that immediately thought of that song by Paul Simon, "That's Why God Made the Movies"?

No , I thought of that song from One Trick Pony as well (great song though)
Might be a re-write however lets hope its a new song

.... And I thought of No Wrong Notes in Heaven by Scotty Bennett.

Scotty Bennett and Brian Wilson, actually.

"No Wrong Notes In Heaven" made its initial appearance on ESQ's 2003 Dennis Wilson tribute CD, "One In A Million."

"That's Why God Made The Radio" sounds worlds closer to being something Summer In Paradise-esque than any classic Beach Boys track. I'm wary, but then I realize it's just a song title, so we'll see.

"The Private Life of Bill And Sue", on the other hand, sounds purty interesting.

Mike, God bless 'im, being named executive producer is a little scary, as well. I love 'im to death, but I can't think of many Mike Love-centric projects in the past that I've been a huge fan of. Obviously "executive producer" is a bit ambiguous, but it's generally the guy who have the most authority over what goes, what stays, how it should sound, how it should be presented, etc. etc. etc. "Do It Again" goes down well enough, so hay, we'll see.

FYI: The album we are recording has some amazing moments and we are not driven by the stress of 'are there any hit singles in the new album'......
But there is one Brian song that I play over & over & over!

[roll plymouth rock]

I'm gonna guess Bruce is playing that God/Radio tune....sounds like there is a lot of buzz surrounding that track

As in "we don't care" or "there are plenty of them"?

Meaning, I think, that they're getting on a bit age-wise, are content, living in the moment and just aren't concerned with making an album that appeals to the mass market. They're letting their artistic juices flow, enjoying themselves, and have enough money in the bank for album sales not to matter - they can just make music that pleases them, and hopefully us.




I hope…

I see it as Brian and Mike contractually having artistic control of this project; as such, the record company will be bound to accept and release whatever is delivered to them.

That Bruce quote sounds great.  I'm really thankful they're not singles-driven here.  I pray that Mike has restrained himself from dropping more Beach Boy song titles in the lyrics.... "We were good vibratin' on a Grammy stage, thinking wouldn't it be nice to do it again???"

I see it as Brian viewed PS's. It was the whole album rather than a hit or hits with filler. Nice if that turns out to be the case.

"THE BEACH BOYS HAVE FOUR REUNION TRACKS IN THE CAN
 
 
2012 will be the year that the surviving Beach Boys hit the road behind a new album for the first time in over 25 years. Over the course of their press duties publicizing their brief -- but acclaimed -- appearance on Sunday's (February 12th) Grammy telecast, the band revealed several titles of new songs, which have already whetted the appetite of fans.

The preeminent Beach Boys message board, SmileySmile.net, posted that a total of four newly recorded tracks have been announced: "Shelter," "The Private Life Of Bill And Sue," "That's Why God Made The Radio" -- and the group's initial reunion track, the remake of their 1968 classic "Do It Again," which the band laid down last June.
No title or release date for the set has been made public, but the Beach Boys' tour itinerary will be announced tomorrow (February 15th). The Beach Boys are: Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, David Marks, and Bruce Johnston.
 
We asked Brian Wilson if he was happy with the way the group gelled in the studio after 15 years apart: ["Oh yeah, I was thrilled! Not one of those guys needs any work -- they're all great. Yeah, they're all good."] SOUNDCUE (:04 OC: . . . they're all good)
Beach Boys co-founder Al Jardine met Brian Wilson when they were both in high school in Southern California playing on the Hawthorne Cougars football team back in the late 1950's. He told us that even as teens Wilson's talent was always there: ["Brian was like a divining rod. Whenever he touched the keys to that piano, something happened and I don't even think he understands it."] SOUNDCUE (:07 OC: . . . he understands it)
FAST FACTS
 
The Beach Boys' only officially announced shows in the U.S. are set for April 27th at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and May 12th in Uncasville, Connecticut at the Mohegan Sun Arena."

Mike, God bless 'im, being named executive producer is a little scary, as well. I love 'im to death, but I can't think of many Mike Love-centric projects in the past that I've been a huge fan of. Obviously "executive producer" is a bit ambiguous, but it's generally the guy who have the most authority over what goes, what stays, how it should sound, how it should be presented, etc. etc. etc. "Do It Again" goes down well enough, so hay, we'll see.

+1   

I hope there's a Quality Control system in place apart from the Executive Producer.  And considering the participants, there is probably a team of lawyers who have to approve the final product.

Yeah, if they were quoting AGD, Jon S. or other honored guests.

They haven't.  Haven't heard AGD confirm those titles (cept Do It Again of course)
