Brian's back to work

[Waspinators]

That was quick!

[Ziggy Stardust]

Cool! he looks great!! wonder what he is workin' on tho

[rab2591]

Let's hope it's Pleasure Island.

[18thofMay]

New Beach Boys songs

[Awesoman]

He's finally getting around to recording Al's "Waves of Love".   

[Dunderhead]

Let's hope it's Pleasure Island.

There's this little hope inside of me, this little dream in the back of my mind, where Brian Wilson records one final undisputed masterpiece, Pleasure Island.

It's the same every night, as soon as I shut my eyes the dream starts the same way. I'm driving home, from where I don't know, a cd wrapped in glossy plastic reflects the bright summer sunlight on the seat beside me. I strain my eyes in repeated, but ultimately vain attempts to read the the title, but the the sun-glazed packaging is completely unyielding and I'm forced to anxiously speed along curious and uncontented.
Then suddenly I'm sitting on my couch, listening to some otherworldly music, weeping the whole while tears of unremitting joy. Behind me, vividly sits an open thread on the smileysmile.net message board: "Is Pleasure Island better than Pet Sounds?", and each night, just as I open my mouth, before an affirmation can slip from my tongue, I wake up, swimming in sweat pools and with a nervous feeling warmly smoldering my insides. Each night, when that moment comes, I always feel the same sense of apprehension, as if...as if I had just witnessed my own future

The boys just keep giving..

I hope it's Beach Boys related and not for the Paul McCartney tribute album which............it probably is

[Mikie]

Sure would be neat if he's finally working on the kick-ass Rock 'n' Roll album he's talked about years.  Not gettin' my hopes up though.....

I hope we see Pleasure Island someday, but from the track list visible in the piano pic it looks a lot closer to 15 Big Ones Part 2 than an undisputed masterpiece.

I'd still welcome it though.  

[EgoHanger1966]

This just in: Picture is from a vocal session (backing tracks already recorded by Skunk Baxter and co.), produced by Mike Love, for his outstanding composition "Oh! Those Girls".

Where the hell is Brian recording? It looks like the bottom of the stairwell at my ex-girlfriend's apartment or something.

I too have had these dreams, though far less frequently than you.

I propose that Smileysmile.net start a support group for those of us longing for this album to finally be recorded/released. Brian has teased us for far too long...and our fragile OCD-prone psyches can't take much more!!!

Yeah, background looks very 'basic 50's recording studio'-like.. somehow I doubt this is going to be a bigger BBs/BW project.

[stack-o-tracks]

He looks younger in this picture, he must've had the doc work on his face a little too.

[Aegir]

Brian's obviously recording new tracks for him to lipsync over during the British shows.

[musicismylife101]

Guess our prayers helped! Look at him already back to work! 

[Shady]

The tour was obviously not a financial success, Brian appears to be recording in a motel

[Lowbacca]

Updates from Facebook:

Brian's got company: Jeff Foskett is in the house.




‎... and Darian Sahanaja. Something's going on here ...

[Shady]

It's The McCartney tribute album.

Don't get your hopes up 

[Lowbacca]

It's The McCartney tribute album.

Don't get your hopes up 

Most likely, yeah. Or something of that sort. But we still have no confirmation on that, right?

...

Eh, another BW solo LP will be out in 2013 this way or another.

[dirwuf]

I'm guessing they're just touching up vocals for a live album or video from the tour...

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

I want Brian to do one more album... a mixture of Smile and TLOS... "Pleasure Island"

Rock and Roll, with a twist of pineapple and LSD.
