Mike Love’s 2016 solo project

[Cam Mott]

With all due respect to them, surely there are producers younger than Michael Lloyd and Joe Thomas dying to work with Brian and Mike and the BBs.

You mean Brian , myKe and Al, right? As far as I know, they're the only surviving BBs.

Some surviving BBs may be surprised to hear they are deceased, but close enough I guess.

Especially since Mike will probably be the last BB to die, he's in pretty good shape for his age plus all that TM.

And the *other* surviving BBs would be...

David and Bruce I would say, others might argue Ricky and Blondey.







Or Stamos.

[The_Beach]

With Mikes new book coming out he just might actually releases this album! Would love to hear any kind of new tunes by any of the beach boys! Or by the Beach boys!!!

Or Stamos.

Ones with shares and votes. And don't  even be tempted to categorize StaymoHs as a BB. 

[Eric Aniversario]

They may not have corporate shares, but I think David and Bruce both qualify as surviving Beach Boys. I know that not everyone would agree with that.

[mabewa]

David and Bruce absolutely qualify as surviving Beach Boys. Really, so do Blondie and Ricky.  They have all been official members of the Beach Boys, and all of them are still alive.  But especially David and Bruce--one was an original member who played on almost all the songs on their first 4 albums, and the other has spent much of his life in the band--not sure why either of them wouldn't be counted. 

[mabewa]

Anyway, I hope that Mike pulls off something good.  I'm sure he has it in him, especially if he can avoid peppering the songs with too many lines from old BB's songs.  He's a talented guy and can write good lyrics when he puts his mind to it.  Foskett's involvement is also an encouraging sign.

Not sure why they need Stamos to rock the electronic bongos though.

I mean in the sense of making albums (not corporate decisions) with some new lifeblood instead of more old balls.

I was afraid I'd hidden that Stamos easter egg too well for old balls like us to trifocal out.

[Autotune]

Not sure why they need Stamos to rock the electronic bongos though.     

Don't know if John C. is involved. Stamos probably does it for free.

[SMiLE Brian]

Stamos??? The making of SIP part two has begun.

[Smilin Ed H]

Are we expecting several songs from Mike's previously unreleased albums rehashed? I'd just like to have First Love released instead, if that's the case.

[HeyJude]

Considering that the last two songs he has "released" are both rehashes ("Pisces Brothers" apparently is mostly or fully the decade-plus-old recording, while "Alone on Christmas Day" is a new recording of a 1977 song), I would guess there's a good chance at least some of the stuff on any future solo album will include some old compositions and/or partial recordings.

[alf wiedersehen]

I would guess there's a good chance at least some of the stuff on any future solo album will include some old compositions and/or partial recordings.

That wouldn't surprise me: both Brian and Al have done it on their own solo albums. That just seems to be The Beach Boys' M.O. for some reason.

Definitely; mining old material isn't exclusive to Mike by any means. The circa 2004 Mike stuff is itself is some amount of rehash ("10,000 Years", several remakes of his late 70s stuff).

I've probably listened to that 2000s Mike stuff more than his other solo stuff, especially the dire synthetic Adrian Baker remakes.

(rap intro) the Lovester is back and he's here to say
the surf is up, those good vibrations are headed your way
