That's what makes the fact that Brian is producing the musicians so interesting...in a couple of post-Imagination interviews, Brian stated that his work was limited to producing the vocals, and that he didn't too much care for the album itself, and that 'it's not my kind of music at all...well, vocally, it is'.

That'd be a cool song for Brian to cover.

Although given the fact that Brian played keyboards on several Imagination tracks, and helped arrange horn parts on a couple of others, his statements on "Imagination" sound suspiciously like ass-covering to me.  Yes, there are a couple of Joe Thomas specials on there, but BW had a hand in arranging a chunk of the album'a backing tracks (Happy Days and Sunshine most obviously, but also the LHRW remake and the basic track of Your Imagination, as well as horns on Dream Angel and She Says that She Needs Me ...)

More points to consider -- Joe is absent, Brian is working in the studio, and noted producer and label prez Don Was plays on the album. But he's not just playing -- he's also giving promo quotes to Rollibg Stone. Now, if I were Brian Wilson and I've decided to take a more hands-on approach with my new album, someone like Don can be useful, right?

One would think so, yes.

I agree.  Then again, it could possibly be like what happened with 'Everything I Need'.

In the case of "Your Imagination," at least, it is almost definitely what happened. (BW-led track cut, then smushed a bit by JT.)

He has been at Ocean Way at least 10 times this month on his own , no Joe ; just Brian working with musicians and cutting vocals on his own

This is what's interesting to me. So for those folks claiming Joe is some sort of evil mastermind -- why has Brian seemingly taken over the production of his own album? Might he have decided he wants to take it his own direction now?

Fascinating stuff, especially given Brian's history with Joe ...

Just as long as they keep Thomas away from the AT plugin, and don't let him mix the album...

Brian enjoying a Hamm's ?

I LOVE this picture. I wish those guys got in a room more often to make music. It was one of their peaks.

I'm not sure Brian would personally agree with that assessment - wasn't he at his early-70s nadir round about the time that was taken?

(And yeah, I know much worse was to come, but he was at his lowest point in his life that far round about then, wasn't he?)

Off-topic, sorry... but it still beats arguing about Zooey Deschanel!

Not regular Bud Light, but the "Lime A Rita" and "Strawberry-Rita" or whatever they're called...the novelty of a premixed faux-tropical mixed drink as served in a can and labeled Bud Light! Sounds like a perfect specialty night drink for Club Kokomo. I won't detail the reasons why.  Wink

Grimbergen Dubbel was a favorite a few years ago. That and Duvel, Brooklyn IPA, Saranac Black Forest ale, and a few other pretty "heavy" brews when I was into them. I cut back on beer and got more into mixed drinks and white wine. Been into the microbrews recently, though, like Troegs, Stoudt, and whatever looks interesting at the store or whatever is in the growler at the party. For imports I go for Belgian white ales, like Hoegaarden...but I don't have that cool glass to really enjoy them at home. Still like Stella too.

Maybe I just don't have a sophisticated enough palate, but it seems like all beer just tastes like crap to me. I can't get past the bitterness.

Beer. [sigh]

For me, it's right up there with coffee - smells utterly amazing, tastes awful. Never, ever forget my first sip: I was expecting this lovely, yeasty, hoppy, rounded taste, just like it smelled and it was just... bitter water. One of the more major disappointments in my entire 58 and counting years. Whisky, ah... now you're talking, even if my considerable (past) affection for it has cost me a goodly slice of my recall. Same with cider and wine: tasted like it smelled, so I dove right in. Frequently.  Grin

Even before health reasons forced me to avoid alcohol pretty.much, never ever cared for beer.

Coffee? Love the hell out of it. Doctor said no caffeine,  but decaf tastes like liquid ass, and i happen to love the taste (and especially the smell) of a good pot of coffee.
