*Merged* Brian Wilson current album thread

[guitarfool2002]

Is Al associated with that site perhaps?

I love this freakin' board.  That is hilarious.

[NickandthePassions]

Seems like a pretty legitimate music blog, wonder if the info was leaked?  Even it it was leaked, you would think they would write a full article on it.

[guitarfool2002]

Keep this in mind, that site is a blog.

[Ray Lawlor]

All I can add is there is *nothing* but nothing on any of the official news feeds, social media, Capitol...nothing.

This is either a hoax, or someone f***ed up at that site. You don't announce an anticipated new album like this, you just don't.

Either it gets confirmed, or that site will have some questions to answer.

Damn, another soap opera. 

Its a false alarm; I promise !  Any release information will come from Brianwilson.com or from Brian's Facebook page .  this is a strange one

Thank you for taking the time to clarify, Ray!  My apologies to all for posting erroneous information!  Was hoping to lighten spirits around here with some cool news!

eh....History repeating?

oh thank God. I like that title, but the idea of it being announced in that manner made me shake my head so much that the air around me has whiplash.

In defense of In the Key of Disney, it was the cover of 'Kiss the Girl' that turned my then four year old daughter into the diehard she is now (yeah, she takes after both of her parents)

[Pretty Funky]

It may not really be 'announced'. How many people are in the know? Probably quite a few and its hard to keep them all quiet.

Found on the blueboard, Brian's new album titled, "No Pier Pressure".  Street date:  11/4/14.  http://www.directcurrentmusic.com/

Mike finally got to write with Brian again, and Brian let him name the album!!!!

So you can confirm that this isn't the album title?

[Ron]

Seems odd somebody would just make that up out of nowhere.  Of course it's the album title...

[The Shift]

This could be the title of his next great unreleased album… we'll maybe have to wait a little longer for the release of "Piery Pier Pressure"

It should be coming out a year or two after "Pleasurey Pleasure Island".

Ray is close to the source of everything, so I have absolutely no doubt that he's correct above (thanks for commenting, Ray - and indeed for all of your insightful posts). However, I must admit I was intrigued, because Direct Current Music, or whatever it's called, is also the site that broke early news about the SMiLE Sessions box coming out, and, as is linked above, where early news about In The Key Of Disney came out (although I didn't know that until I saw that post above in this thread).

From discussions on here in 2011 about whether it was a legit site prior to the SMiLE box coming out, I seem to recall that it was run by someone in the music business with close links to Capitol, but not actually employed by them. Possibly someone who used to work for them? Or something like that? Anyone remember this? Bueller? Bueller...?

It definitely had the early scoop on when TSS was coming out, from what I recall, long before any dates were confirmed by Capitol - although I think DCM changed the date they had down for it themselves a couple of times before it was finally confirmed by Universal.

DISCLAIMER: my son was born between Autumn 2011 and now, so maybe all the late nights and early mornings have fried what was left of my brain in 2011, and all of the above is inaccurately remembered. Someone please put me right if I'm wrong...

You never know, maybe the name is right and the date is wrong. Or vice versa. And Ray doesn't *actually* say the name is wrong above...!

Even if it turns out to be wrong, I quite like the title... for a cumbersome maritime seafront architecture-related pun, it's not bad (not that I know many, or indeed *any* others). It beats the Wharf of the Sun, at any rate...

...or, as a reference to the penultimate track of That Lucky Old Sun...


...Groyne Home

[gets coat]

PS Actually, Groyne sounds like the kind of name Weird Al Yankovic would give a Brian Wilson tribute.

EDIT: Oh, wait, he already did that

[Gohi]

This site is definitely legitimate and this is almost definitely the title of the new Brian Wilson record. Sorry guys!

[Shady]

Well if it is, it's a terrible title.

"No Pier Pressure", who came up with that  Awful pun

[HeyJude]

Well if it is, it's a terrible title.

"No Pier Pressure", who came up with that  Awful pun

I think the biggest problem would be that it's an entirely "in print" pun. Anyone who hears the title will of course assume it's "No Peer Pressure." Kind of reminds me of one story I heard from a fan who met one of the Beach Boys backstage at a concert in 1978 and asked what the title of their new album would be. They came away confused after being told by a band member that the new Beach Boys album was titled "Am I You?" 

[Fire Wind]

So what does it actually mean, as a pun?  A refusal to countenance piers, beaches and all that goes with them?  No pressure from the Boys on this album.

[Wirestone]

Please remember: The working title of "Imagination" was "War Hero."

One wonders ...

My guess is that it's a jokey working title for the project.

[beacharg]

I don't understand the tittle too, and Im not sure if I like it or not. But I really dont care, all I want is good music, with no autotune abuse.

[Mike's Beard]

Bad album title but I have a good idea for the cover; Brian locked in a recording booth happily singing into a microphone while a full Hawaiian beach attired Mike frantically bangs on the door from the other side.
