*Merged* Brian Wilson current album thread

Maybe "No Pier Pressure" means that there was no pressure put on him by anyone to make it sound like a Beach Boys album.

[guitarfool2002]

The issue here is that "breaking news" of any kind needs to be fact-checked to a certain degree before it goes public as a headline or even a hidden blurb. I'm admittedly old-fashioned that way, in a journalism kind of way, but with any number of blogs, spoiler sites, instant-information sites, etc, sometimes the rush to get the breaking news out there ignores the need to make sure the news being broken is accurate. In the case of this specific music site, and thanks to the posters who pointed out the previous examples, they have gotten details wrong about specific Beach Boys releases in the past. My initial reaction was the news and details should come from an "official" source, then you're pretty confident it is actually what is being reported and not rumor, innuendo, or sloppy fact-checking in the name of speed versus accuracy.

Best suggestion, wait for the official word on all fronts.

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.

My take on the pun is that I think it might imply that he's got no "peer" pressure in trying the news things (that have been reported) that are allegedly on the album, tying in with that infamous facebook post about trying new/different things and how the negative reaction was bumming him out.

I was thinking that the title could mean something like "Hey, no one writes my songs for me there's no peer pressure by my 'people', I'm capable of still writing songs  no one controls me ,and this cd will prove it." or something like that..if that's the case then that's a Genius title for it...

[Sheriff John Stone]

Wow, what an interesting album title! I wonder how Brian came up with that or why he chose to go with it? I'm sure it will be a popular question during the interview/promotion rounds.

[startBBtoday]

Based on Ray's comments, it sounds like it won't be the title, but if it is, I like it. It has plenty of meanings.

Brian's finally writing and working on material that he wants to, and he's not being forced into writing songs harkening back his work in the early 60s as a surf group like "Beaches In Mind."

He's not allowing outside influences to alter what he's writing, producing and releasing. And he's not allowing comments, like some found on this message board, to change what he's working on.

Is it a veiled shot at The Beach Boys? Probably. Does it still bring desired images of the beach for marketing purposes? Yes.

Was writing this a giant waste of my time if this isn't the real title? You betcha.

Nice! I see no reason why it wouldn't be legit.

Zooey and M. Ward are called "She And Him" if that is any indication of the legit-ness of this.

lol I don't know how I missed that!  I guess my mind was telling me it was close enough.

In other words, stills from the filming of "On an Island."

[Jim Rockford]

Things are in motion now. It won't be long.

[guitarfool2002]

At least correct "His And Hers" to "She And Him", right?    For accuracy's sake, and all that.

Brings up an interesting point. The track "On An Island" mentioned Zooey of course as a vocalist, but the studio photo showed Zooey and M. Ward with Brian. I'm wondering if M. Ward played anything on the track, like it was a "She And Him" collab, or whether it was only Zooey doing vocals. I guess we'll find out.

I hope Matt is on the song...that'd be ace!

Referring to M.Ward.

They're called Bill and Sue, can you dig what I'm telling you? It's Pleasure Island for sure… see you at the beach bar!

hmmm....OK.....

[NickandthePassions]

Wow, we're actually going to have a musical video?  I don't know what I'm more excited for, the album or the movie.

[Shady]

Anything on the level of midnights another day or the life suite will be more than welcome

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

Interesting. The blueboard thread seems to have been wiped.
