*Merged* Brian Wilson current album thread

[The Shift]

I think he might have been about to win the limbo dance contest in that shot… no wonder he's happy!

Fresh off the press, from Brian's FB page:

At a playback session last evening at the Capitol Records recording studio, Brian talked about "Pet Sounds" in a Q&A with David Wild. Brian also performed a few songs at the event.

"Just farted. Don't give a damn."

[Shady]

Amongst all the hype around Brian at the moment, movie, bbc thing, now would be a really good time to at least release a single

[bgas]

That's not the weirding way 

[Wirestone]

"They played a handful of shows this summer gearing up for the release of Wilson’s new album, set for early December."

The BBC thing is a single. The movie isn't out yet.

[Pretty Funky]

Now looking like 2015 its all in with the movie, album and 'Brian's book'.

So I may be late in the game, I've not read this thread in weeks, we're up to 87 pages and searching for the words: "Summer Means New Love 2014" brings up a lot of items I don't need. But...

I Just saw on the Wikipedia article for Summer Means New Love that Brian rerecorded the tune in 2014, is it going to be on the new album?

[guitarfool2002]

At some point, I hope more folks take the advice given a few pages ago, or months ago...whenever...and wait for the official word of a release date. I'm not challenging anyone, but it's getting a little redundant to post something every time a local paper or some half-assed "music blog" publishes a scoop.

Just give it time, the official word will come out and the album will follow. This guessing and publishing and assuming based on nothing substantial isn't unwelcome, but still.

Sorry, I forgot what I read in the Rolling Stone article about this tune being recorded...I only read through it once quickly, sorry if my post is redundant.

Not redundant at all, in fact more than welcome to explore any details about the songs, etc.!

I need to clarify just in case...My issue isn't with people here, in fact it's not even an issue but just an observation. It's any number of sites other than this board that seem to be haphazardly posting a release date, up to and including what appeared to be retailers like Amazon and Wal-Mart, and they've since removed that "info", which pretty much says it all and says what i feel about it too. I guess reading the umpteenth newspaper article or blog listing a release date that they either pulled out of thin air or pulled from some source that appears to have been wrong made me think how redundant *those sites* and the authors were getting with posting these various release dates.

And I was coming back at them, from afar, and suggesting we wait until an official word to be absolutely clear. I said SmileySmile would be among the first if not the best source of info whenever the official word comes down, and it would be cool to have this be the go-to place for the actual, correct info and related links. Let the other sites post their dates, pretty soon they'll run out of darts to throw at their office calendars, and you'll get the official word here.

I hope that clears up what I said earlier which may have come off the wrong way.

Fair points, I agree with you entirely.

[punkinhead]

I gotcha! Crystal clear!

That reminds me, I was listening to a local oldies radio station and I think they started playing God Only Knows and then a female's voice came in talking about the new album, here's what was said in a general round-about-way, as I'm remembering from 2 weeks ago:

"Brian Wilson records and will release an album that was inspired when Mike Love fired him from the Beach Boys after Brian wanted to tour with the group more after the reunion tour."

I don't remember anymore as what I do remember stuck out like a sore thumb. They then started playing Califonia Girls and I think the same voice says "listen to the tune that Brian Wilson was inspired to write during an LSD trip." 
I've never heard anyone (on the radio) talk about that when talking about California Girls....the song played out and went on just like any other oldies station...it was very odd, it wasn't a "news" segment or anything.

In the first picture, he looks a bit like Paul Dano, doesn't he?

And here he looks like an incarnation of Phil Spector.

"Hey, Al, smell my finger."

That's a good one!

[Ron]

I love how Brian still looks the same... sometimes.  I doubt he has any idea how effortlessly, timelessly  cool he is.

[bgas]

Brian NEVER looks like Paul Dano, it's up to others to try and look like Brian!

[Shady]

Daily Mail seem to know something we don't...

The two-time Grammy nominee recorded a duet called Last Song with Brian Wilson, which will likely appear on his album No Pier Pressure.
The haunting ballad is reportedly about his band the Beach Boys breaking up in 2012.


Zooey Deschanel, Kacey Musgraves, and Frank Ocean are also rumoured to appear on Wilson's album, which Capitol Records drops in December.
'This project blows my mind,' the 72-year-old pop legend told Rolling Stone magazine last June.
'I had no idea we could pull this off!'



And the caption under a picture of Brian..

Why ask Why?  ( AB would say  Drink Bud Dry)

What made you detest Germans, unless you're not just putting me on?

Not sure.  It is still unclear—because Brian is currently under embargo—whether there will be a separate soundtrack album.  And there's a strong there might be.     "Summer Means New Love 2014" indicates (to me) that Brian recorded some soundtrack material.
