I don't get the Indian on horseback logo and the Beach Boys.  Is that the original Brother Records logo?   I think they can do better than that today.

Right!?



My father, a great artist, made me a collage for Christmas: he assembled tiny pieces of cut up $ bills to form the Brother logo. My jaw dropped to the floor when I saw it. If I could figure out how to post pictures to the board I'd definitely show you all...it's pretty incredible. I love that logo so much.

So do I.. dont we all.

Seriously, that is tremendous. Worth its weight in, well, dollar bills at least.

New album information. And some silliness.

"Waves of Love" seems to be another title we can add to the list -- and an already recorded Carl vocal.

"I'd like to reach back into the catalog a ways and go back to 'Lonely Sea' and 'Farmer's Daughter' and esoteric things that people haven't heard in a long time or ever," Jardine said. "That would be lovely. "
Good


Jardine said with a sad smile. "I wish there was a way to get Dennis on there too."
Not so good - btw Al, there is.

It's going to be included on the new album in a song called "Waves of Love."
now he's just taking the ....

New album information. And some silliness.

OK now I am getting excited, OK we have confirmation Carl Wilson is included on the one song, I think
that's nice. Anybody ever heard the tune?

Now yes that artwork, is great with the dollar bills, kudo's to your dad for being cool enough to do that,
and to you for being cool enough to share a photo of it.

Now back to the album there is another quote yesterday, where Love said all the tracks are done, but
this conflicts with Wilson's statement the other day that , they still need to write a few more tunes. So
Love was in te studio today or (whenever the article was written) writing lyrics, that's probably what Wilson
meant, that the tracks were down, but they need to write lyrics to few songs. So we also know, that There
will be a couple or three new Wilson/Love cowrites, but did anybody ever doubt that?


Now we are    hearing how mellow the new album sounds, and that's cool, but putting on my objective hat
I have to believe DIA and one other song will rock a bit, you can have say, a dozen songs, and ten of them
can be mellow, but you still need say two that rock or are uptempo, I mean there is no rule, but there is,
to maintain interest objectively, I just assume they have already considered that issue.


So I think AGD can step in pretty soon, and tell us more. We know a lot, Jardine confirmed Carl will be singing!

someone should do a synopsis of everything we know, but by the time its done, it will probably be out of date!

my blood smells the first single in about six or eight weeks! As soon as Wilson signs off on these new Love lyrics
they can bang out all the vocals to half a dozen songs in two weeks don't you think? Apparently, they have already
laid down vocals for at least a few.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the final new Beach Boys studio album, is almost upon us.

This is such a great thing, for them, for us, for the label, for the tour people, the audience at the shows,

Has anybody heard clips of the album or heard playback in the studio?

Vintage, I would calm down. I doubt AGD -- or anyone outside of the principals -- has heard much from the new record. I'm sure we'll know more in a couple of months. Waves of Love is an old Al tune (aren't they all) that he wanted to put on Postcard from California.

Speaking of which, why the weird vibes about the song? Is Al not supposed to get a tune on the record?

Heh. True enough. Matt Jardine posted about it last summer:

Quote
Just got back from Jeff Peters' studio where we did overdubs on Al Jardine's original song "Waves of Love". A rough demo version from '95 is currently on his Postcards CD but this new recording is KILLER!! Mike Kowalski on skins, Ed Carter on bass, Mike Meros on B3, Richie Cannata on baritone sax, Jeff Peters & Randy Mitchel on guitars, Al & Matt Jardine & Carl Wilson on vocals. I'm really excited about this "new" song.

Sounds like it was written during preparations for the 95 reunion album and that Carl did some work on it then. Who knows if this new instrumental track survives -- I'd love to have those guys on BB reunion record, even if it's for only one track.

Has this been picked up from the LA times story above?


"Their Grammy appearance did put the band back in front of the public but it's hard to tell if anyone was put off by the obvious lip-synching."



WTF! First article on the grammies to claim that isn't it?

That's what I referred to as the silliness.

To the Times' credit, their author didn't say that. It was a person they were quoting, and the Beach Boys were allowed to forcefully deny it.

FWIW, though, I'm sure the guy was talking about Jeff singing for Brian, which did look a lot like lip syncing if you don't know how the BW stage setup works.

Well I hope it's a better tune than, uh, Don't Fight The Sea, which although I love hearing the Beach Boys
sing, it does sound, kind of like a dorky Terry Jacks song. Maybe it's just me, and whenever I hear the words
Terry Jacks, I think of Seasons in the Sun, and hide in my room for two days until the sickness goes away! LOL

I gather, the reason people diss that, is because there is strong sentiment here, to include the Carl Wilson vocal
from the song "She is a Mystery" instead.

The finished "soul searchin on GIOMH sounded great to me, much better, than the lo fi demos I heard of it, I don't
know if that is a spruced up Paley session or what, but I like Soul Searchin and Desert Drive, and the song co written
with Van Dyke Parks,

Anyway, yeah great, Jardine gets one song, on there, Just a thought, Bear in mind, if, if, they do kind of a medley
suite thing on the end of the album, maybe they will do some editing Ala Abbey Road, and  there will be several short
pieces all edited together, Long Story short, you would get maybe 16-17 songs, because several were just snippets.
pieced together, maybe one verse only, or just several pieces that are only less than two minutes, each, and maybe the
Carl Wilson bridge is the piece they really want.

But what does the original Jardine song sound like, how would it compare to say, Don't Fight The Sea. There is just something
about that song, I Like the harmonies, the sentiment is OK, I like the sound effects, I think the track really sounds dated
maybe that's it. I just worked on a thing, with old backing tracks, and by the time we got through with the overdubs it
sounded new. Don;t Fight the Sea sounds like a 1980 track.


I should calm down I know. But this place is a repository and message board for Beach Boy fanatics, and if we can't talk about
the album here, where do I go!!!!


Somehow the cards are right, this album is just happening with good vibes, Pet Sounds maybe not, but they are so positive
and Carl Wilson is included.

I am slightly worried, about " A Mellow" album. Generally speaking for a whole album to flow, you still need a couple
upbeat things, even if its mostly ballads. I think these guys are aware of that kind of stuff, and have about 700 paid
and unpaid advisers, record producers, engineers, session men, the record label, wives, roadies, friends, managers.


My gut tells me this album will be the best thing they have done since their heyday, circa 64-75 or 77 whatever.

My observation, working together, is inspiring Brian Wilson, more than at any point, in many years, and his illnesses
have been treated, and are largely in remission or controlled with medication.


Seeing as how Danny Hutton is still a drinker, I wonder if people like that are allowed down to the studio.

I'm a much bigger fan of lyrics by Van Dyke Parks and others versus Mike Love, but at this late date, I think Mike
Love will do fine, Love is competent, if not superb. and I should calm down, or maybe you guys should get more excited.

The album is gonna be good, all the signs and vibes point to it. I wish it was five years earlier when their voices were
a bit younger, but they still sound good, Johnston is the only one I haven't heard sing in recent years, I cant pick him
out that much on DIA or the Grammy performance, what I could hear he seemed OK, and its gonna rock, I sincerely hope
they get the cotton out of their ears, and give us at least one upbeat song besides DIA remake.  

I was only a moderate Beach Boys fan, I admired them, and their sixties work, and Some of Wilson's solo work, but I am
recognizing, that they were one of the top five bands of alltime and to have one more album is just so cool, Smile and a new album!

I think it's telling they are with Capitol and working at an old studio where they worked in the sixties, even with the death of
most studios, due to protools,, there are still tons of studios in LA and the fact they are revisiting an old studio, they want that
"sound" I bet they achieve a great album in Spades, I hope so, for their sake and ours, this last album will go a long way to
reminding people and restoring their historical legacy as one of the great bands.

Well, "Waves of Love" has never been released or heard, has it?

Big difference between that and something like "Do It Again," which has not only been released before, but recorded multiple times!

Realistically, too, we're looking at a pretty quick turnaround for this album. Maybe five or six months total. I think we have to expect a certain portion of the tracks to be previously written (but hopefully not officially released) material.
