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

[HeyJude]

That's Why God Made the Radio is going to premiere on Mike and Mike in the Morning tomorrow on ESPN Radio.

Yeah, I’ll wait the extra few hours to buy the track for 99 cents on Amazon rather than listen to sports talk radio. The ten minutes of sportscasters I subjected myself to when attempting to hear the BB’s at the Dodgers game online a couple weeks ago was more than I needed for the next decade. I didn’t know it was possible for sports programming to get even more hyped, bloated, and annoying than it was ten or twenty years ago. 

I’m hoping perhaps Amazon will even have the download available late tomorrow (Wednesday) night as soon as 9pm-ish, at least here on the west coast.

Why exactly is the song premiering on a sports talk show?

This.

I`m very pleased that they have chosen to record Mike`s Daybreak. This is imo the best song that he has ever written (on his own obviously) and if they were going to include any oldies then this would be the best choice.

Umh.. in my opinion Anything For You, I Don't Wanna Know and Glow Crescent Glow are superior but let's see what the BB magic can do!!

Maybe it depends on whether we`re talking about the original version of Daybreak or the (first) remake.

I Don`t Wanna Know and Glow Crescent Glow are both excellent as well anyway and if the BBs were to record the latter then I wouldn`t complain.

Kevin Love probably hooked them up.

Seriously, they're on a ton of stations and simulcast on ESPN2.  Who knows if the label did some kind of deal with Disney or Mike and Mike are just big fans or what.

[Nicko1234]

Don't forget Al's "Islands In the Sun".
 

Is this the song from the 1990s that AGD described as being in the Kokomo-style?

The mid-2000s version of Too Cruel with Christian Love on vocals could've been a hit.

Actually, Al described it that wasy in the new ESQ.  Yes, dates from teh 90's

"Spring Vacation"?


Oh dear....

Could "Spring Vacation" be a left-over Pleasure Island song?  I seem to recall Brian outlining the "plot-line" for that album as a bunch of teens who go to an island for spring break and discover the magic of rock n' roll.  Or something like that.  TWGMTR would certainly fall into that category...maybe the new Beach Boys album has been built from the ashes of Pleasure Island?  Heck, it's a thought.  

Edit:  I see the Pleasure Island connection has already been brought up earlier.   

[joshferrell]

That being said, it is Brian who wanted to record a follow-up to TLOS called "Pleasure Island." I always have to remind myself of that when I start feeling crabby about Mike's lyrical concepts ...

it could be a cool song about a huge orgy on an island with naked ladies and the like  so it MAY not  be that bad of a concept..

Or it could be a rock opera about Pinocchio. Brian says that Surfer Girl was based on "When You Wish Upon A Star", so maybe the man has a Pinocchio obsession.

We'll have to see.  BTW the article doesn't absolutely say that will be on the album, it says it's one of the titles in contention.  I.E., a name Mike could think up on the spot for a reporter on that particular day.

Maybe they should name the new album "Capitol Picks". Since it sounds like they are choosing the tunes for inclusion.

That's already come out. About 30-40 times.

And here I thought I was being so original. Leave it to you to bust a man's bubble. What would I do without you.

D'awww, I'm just playin'. ^_^

The new album seems to be titled IT'S ALL BRAND NEW. (edit: maybe this is a mistake - but the way the article puts it in italics....)

I kinda like that title. But then there shouldn't be no "She believes in love again"'s

The orthodox brethren will agree.

[Chris Brown]

Dear God I hope that's not the title - perhaps the reporter read Bruce's comments and incorrectly extrapolated from there?

[Eireannach]

That title is everywhere on google from the last day.  It's probably legit.

It worked pretty well for Nintendo

Yes, it's their baby and they named it. Now let's bite our tongues and say how much the baby takes after its fathers and that we can't wait to hold it.

[Zach95]

I kind of like it, it's better than Beach Boys 50 or whatever.

Woah, woah, woah.

That is not the title. It's just not.

Bruce was quoted in Billboard talking about the contents of the album, and some sloppy web aggregators put two and two together and got 15. The Billboard article itself says that they haven't decided on a title yet.

"Johnston says the album's first single, "That's Why God Made the Radio," was in contention to be the title track but was deemed too long, so alternatives are being considered."
