It's nice the Wilson brothers are still continuing to release music from beyond the grave.

And that's such a cool pic of Al.

[John]

Yeah, for some reason, Al looks cooler with a bass than with a guitar. The stickers on it give it an almost college / punk band look too.

Has anybody heard it? How are the tracks and what did Al say about the "possible Beach Boys reunion" ?

Hot damn, I should read more carefully. Thanks for pointing that out

What did Al have to say about a possible Beach Boys reunion?  I was not able to listen on Saturday.

Mostly just that he'd be interested in it, and that he suggested it for the Pet Sounds 40th but Mike nixed it. And he apologized to fans for all the lawsuits and whatnot.

[Matt H]

Did Al mention a release date for his album?

[TdHabib]

I didn't hear the interview, but the finished tracklisting is on his website.

[elnombre]

Did anyone manage to tune in? I've just looked in the show archives on their website, but there's only a couple of episodes from March in there.

Chuck

I am undoubtedly the coolest of those chatters.      Some would disagree.

[Dave in KC]

Certainly the most biased!

[the captain]

I don't know about biased. That implies I don't give things a fair shake to things, like prejudice. Opinionated and not too concerned if those opinions are popular might be a better description. And most amusing of ally, my opinions seem to be almost always diametrically opposed to yours.

[Dave in KC]

Amusing to me for sure. Sad from your standpoint. I think you're bitter because you were born too late to enjoy anywhere close to as much the group as I did. As a result, I have a much deeper appreciation for all things Beach Boys. It's one thing to have this preplexing problem and yet another to be a killjoy for those who were there in the arena of the full Beach Boy experience when it mattered.

[the captain]

You're so cute. If you mistake my posts for bitter ones, I guess you're not just opposed to my taste, but somehow unable to understand me and everything I say. That's fine. I am truly glad you lived when you did and enjoyed what you enjoy: I'd never begrudge anyone his or her pleasure. But neither will I worship at the altar of your past, bemoan my present or in any way try to hide my real thoughts just to be in line with your nostalgia.

[the captain]

Sorry for the public bickering, everyone. I was really just making a joke in response to Chuck before getting carried away with Dave in KC. Now I'll try to be nice.

Pacific Standard Time: now for all those Europeans here, is this Greenwich-time -8 hours?

A sample of "Don't Fight The Sea" can now be heard at http://www.aljardine.com/photo.html.

How emotional to hear Carl on a "new" track! Looking forward to this one.


Help Me Rhonda is also up. Meh.

[Aegir]

Don't Fight the Sea sounds pretty good - better than anything on Summer in Paradise, for sure. Help Me Rhonda is disappointing.

Agreed, I don't see the point of doing Help Me Rhonda at all.

Don't Fight The Sea sounds like a gem.

[Dutchie]

Dont fight the sea sounds like a hit potential to me. Help me rhonda sucks. Sounds just like they did it in the early seventies to me.

[the captain]

During Chuck Kelley's interview with Al, that is what Al said he was doing. So it's not a coincidence or anything, he just wanted to do it that way. I wasn't thrilled with it, but I thought it was fine. Frankly, I liked it more than several of the other tunes I've heard samples from, including "Don't Go Near the Sea," which I am about to listen to (the sample of) again, but when Chuck played it, I thought it sounded pretty annoying/cheesy. Maybe it will grow on me. I definitely don't think it sounds anything like a hit--at least not in today's world.

[southbay]

Don't Fight The Sea is not a hit, but who cares?  It is just fantastic to hear Carl's voice again. "Intended for the Beach BOys but remained unfinished..."  Again, a reminder of what could have been.
