Heard the new Beach Boys album w/ Brian Wilson back in the fold. Aw, guys, you shouldn't have! No, seriously, you shouldn't have. #Ouch

Wow, with cutting edge comedy like that, he's sure to know what would make for good music.

Hope I don't offend anyone when I say the Huff Post is sort of a joke. No, not because this one guys doesn't like the new album.  Because, literally, it's a joke. Write your own stuff.

Does he write for Jay Leno?

Hey, I get that not everyone will like the album, but what a lame joke.

Just listened to the samples on walmart.com and it's cool to hear Al's voice so prominent on the intro of "Daybreak over the ocean". Although I think it was the part that Christian sang before. But Al sounds so great on that and it all makes it sound so Beach Boy-y

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.

Nice how the melody on the Walmart sample of From There To Back Again starts just like I Wanna Pick You Up and Jeffrey Foskett didn't even veto it! Wink

Well, I don't work for them so you're not offending me, but I will say a Pulitzer Prize is not a joke. Many in the writing game would kill to be that much of a joke.

Getting back to the paisley shirt issue from a few pages ago, and if this hasn't already been mentioned, those wanting to have the look of those shirts without paying $200+ for the "official" Robert Graham paisley shirt can consider this:



Available here (though currently out of stock...):

http://www.overstock.com/Clothing-Shoes/English-Laundry-by-John-Lennon-Mens-Paisley-Woven-Shirt/5255724/product.html

It's a nice shirt! I saw this 1966 photo of Lennon on a musicians' catalog sitting around my house:



And it reminded me of what people had posted in this thread, and it turned out there is a "John Lennon" paisley shirt on the market which looks like what the Beach Boys have been wearing on the current tour.

From a distance I really can't see much difference between the 30 dollar Lennon shirt and the 225 dollar Graham shirt...they both look like paisley shirts.  Cheesy

I decided to give a 10 second listen on iTunes to some of the songs to make sure my expectatns werent too high. Oooof beaches in mind, that sounds pretty bad, same with strange world.  Strange world sounds like a 90s Disney song.  I chose the ones I sensed from reviews were poor and now with lowered expectations, I should enjoy the album more  Grin

Shirt is out of stock - but it's a nice one!

For those of you with thrift/second hand stores, hit them up. That's where I find my vtg 60s shirts/pants/sweaters etc.

I don't care what he said about the album really. It offended my sensibilities as a joke writer. And I think it's fair to say that I can't really respect a review that is solely a joke that was already old-fashioned before The Beach Boys released their first single.

Thanks for the heads up!

I listened to the first half of it and loved it! I'm gonna wait to listen to the entire thing when I get the CD.

I think the acapella intro to Beaches In Mind is cool

I thought it was amusing that Mike was a little unsure on the release date for the album at last night's show.  Hopefully he'll be on top of it a bit more soon!  LOL

I thought it was kind of relieving when I watched the video. Showed to me at least that he wasn't simply thinking of $$$ and selling albums.

The first Smile show I saw (Glasgow in early March '04), Brian introduced either Desert Drive, City Blues, or some GIOMH song as being off his new record. I forget the exact line, but he said something like "This is going to be on my new album, which is coming out ... actually I don't know when it will come out." Got quite a laugh.

He wants wierd? Bill and Sue is pretty wierd.
Think About The Days and the last three tracks harken back to the "creative Brian period" every hipster adores.
Spring Vacation, Beaches In Mind have the good time beach sound covered.
Isn't It Time and Shelter highlight the classic 1965 pop sound from Today! and Summer Days.

Plenty of variety here!
