Pharrell beat Mike Love to the room to write with BW....

Pharrell wasn't that bad on The G's last night. Did they say he had 7? One of the few artists who wasn't auto-tuned into submission. I have Never seen Country Music on Robot Patrol before, and then she won for the song! Also Pharrell was one of the few I didn't fast forward through (I DVRed it just in case, and was smart to do so).
As with most of the acts and award winners, I'd never heard of she/ him/them or the bands he/they were with. Robert Lamm looked just irritated, but it was nice to see Chicago get some attention. Best award of the night was Nirvana with Paul, that really is better than anything on his new, New.
That show was a painful experience...oops, wrong thread.
Read on Smilers.

A couple of thoughts and a question after reading the answers and questions on here
-about Brian's fav DW song being San Miguel, it totally makes sense! Being that he used the melody on his unreleased song from Sweet Insanity: Someone To Love...perhaps, at the time he might have thought since it didn't get originally released on an album (10 Years of Harmony being a greatest hits comp that included a few bonus tracks), nobody would notice the usage of it on his second proposed solo album.
-My other thought is about Brian mentioning Sail Away being a song on the new album....now this could be one of many things: a cover of Randy Newman's Sail Away (quite possible with it being on one of his favorite albums), a rendition of the Styx song (highly doubtable but never say never when dealing with BW), another version of Van Dyke Parks' Sail Away (which Brian sang lead on a little under 20 years ago on VDP's Orange Crate Art), or it's a totally new song by Brian. So who knows.
-how long was he on Facebook?

In an issue of Mojo magazine back in May/June, there was an article that mentioned that there is only one track (no name mentioned) that is not an original. It says it is the first song Brian learned to sing that he learned from his grandmother. Things could have changed since then but if not, Sail Away should be an original.

That song being "Danny Boy," perhaps?

I believe the non-original they were referring to turned out to be Danny Boy.
I think a lot has changed about this project since it was first announced. Wouldn't surprise me if Punkinhead was right and this turns out to be a cover of Newman's song...in fact I'm kinda hoping it is!

I hope so too! I think 'Sail Away' would work perfectly in Brian's 'Life Suite'.

As great a song as it is, Lyrically a song about tricking Africans into becoming American slaves seems an odd fit for a "Life Suite"

Meh...I like Randy Newman and the album Sail Away but the title song doesn't do much for me. But, if Brian likes it, well....But, more covers on a Brian Wilson solo album?...sigh...
Regarding the Facebook questions/answers, Brian continues to show that he really doesn't have MUCH to say.

Highly doubtable indeed, but there is in fact a link: BW and Styx used to share a drummer.

The name of the Styx song is "Come Sail Away", and I'm sure Brian wouldn't cover that song. Not his style at all...too much

Oh ok, I've honestly never know that song very well, but it was used greatly on one of the first episodes of Freaks and Geeks...I honestly don't know much of anything about Styx...didn't even know if it had two x's or one.

That's one of my favorite scenes from any tv show.
If Brian covered 'Come Sail Away' and made it the first track on
Pleasure Island
, I wouldn't be an unhappy man

..
I don't care if the song is Styx or Newman or new original-BW..
I'm simply looking forward to more solo output by Brian, since I love 96,35% of his solo output so far. 'Even'
In The Key of Disney
. Such a cool record!

Yeah, I agree. That just would not work. I want Brian singing upbeat rockers. I'm ready for the Rock-n-Roll record. If he wants to pay tribute to Randy, my first choice would be "I Love L.A."
It has a good Beach Boys energy. In fact similar to "It's A Beautiful Day" Other good choices: "It's Money That I Love," or go all out and give "Lonely At The Top" a try.

Yeah, you guys are right. I didn't really think about it at first.
Still, I would love to see Brian cover 'Sail Away', but not apart of the "Life Suite".
