IS that an ORTF mic configuration on the vibraphone?

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

Brian's got a classic Jor-El (Brando style) look goin' on there, even down to the super-curl. I like it.

Honestly...looks like a comb-over.

Just his lazy workday slick-back look, I guess.

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

Looks like his hair is thinning and he is hiding it. Noticed that for the past several years. sh*t, he's going to be 71, and the rest of the BB are bald so no worries lol

I don't think that's it. Only looks that way in private shots or - like I said - when working on stuff. He's a comfortable lazy guy. Bathrobes. Sweat pants. Et cetera. I guess he just puts stuff in his hair which makes it easy to slick back and then heads out for the studio or the park (or, let's be reasonable, for the nearest burger place).

BW is looking mighty overweight in that photo.

Looks like it man!

That's not a very JT thing to do! Exciting!

BW is looking mighty overweight in that photo.

He looks far more fit than most Americans I see on a daily basis One thing I love about these pictures is that he's smiling in most of them!

Any insiders know when we can expect any news about this new project?

[the professor]

Where are Al, Dave, and the other BB?

We have photos of Al at ocean way with Brian and foskett last month, both at the mic and at the console

[Ziggy Stardust]

I sure am aware of that, and that was last month, i believe he asked this after seeing that new picture of Brian, and obviously "Al, Dave, and the other BB" aren't there, i mean i don't see what else could be said/answered to that.

But then that ain't something new, recording not on the same day, that's the way they recorded the last album apparently too ..
i highly doubt while Brian and some other people (there was Jeff Beck also) are making something and posting new pictures often, out of the blue Mike Love decides to go to the studio to make something on his own .. it's too big to be a coincidence obviously, it is related to The Beach Boys.

I thought that you know it would be something for MIC but then, why would Jeff Beck and his musicians be related to a such thing? well, Jeff Beck did pay tribute to Brian in the past, so he could be invited to i don't know, rework a Beach Boys song ..

They did say it was for "Brian's project", now that is what is getting me the most curious, could it be that Brian is working on a solo album, but, then, there's Al, some special guests, and Mike Love?

Also there was pictures with producer Don Was, he was playing bass (with the comment "Brian producing Don Was"), but could he be like the co-producer on this with Brian? didn't someone comment on the last picture saying the mic configuration on the vibra wasn't a very Joe Thomas thing to do?

[southbay]

Well I don't think Mike has ever recorded any of his solo work at ocean way. Pretty sure any recording he has ever done there was due to the fact he was working with brian

[Wirestone]

There was an article recently published in a British magazine that had an interview with Joe Thomas, who is still be working with Brian. He talked about the Jeff Beck collaboration, which definitely didn't seem like a BB project. The piece suggested they were working on a lot of material, and it seemed likely to be a solo record.

Obviously, the Mike picture seems to complicate matters. But we'll see.

The exact quote made mention of a newly-arranged rendition of the first song Brian's grandmother taught him to sing being the "only non-original track on the LP." This would imply that there's already some sort of assembled album in place.

What song would that be, do we know that?

Thomas said they were keeping it a secret.

I would doubt an assembled album is in place, given that Brian said he didn't know the titles of any of the other songs.

I'm guessing, "Danny Boy".

Yeah, that's what I guessed the other day.

+1 Sure looks that way! Refreshing to see when some producers wouldn't waste the time to record real stereo mallet parts in 2013 when any number of expensive keyboards could do the trick much faster...

Mark Lindsay and Brian @ Ocean Way:



Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find...

[clack]

Mark Lindsay and Brian co-wrote a song for possible inclusion in TWGMTR. Could they be finishing up that track for MIC? For a new BB lp? Working on something new for a BW solo project?

WTF is going on?
