Thanks! Although I do have a few fears about the title and subtitle of that new album. I smell an ominous connection with the concept of 'Kokomo'...
will Mike Love sing the leads?

The Doobie Brothers? Good deal... 'bout time Brian sings the praises of something that came out past the 1960s.

Also, great to hear that he really is working on a new record, and a concept album at that.

Now might be a good time to insert this thread from September when this project was first mentioned.


http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,6107.0.html

"There isn't anybody I know -- my publicist, my wife, my managers, myself, my current group -- I don't think any of us think there is any hope for a Beach Boys reunion," Wilson says vehemently over the phone from his home in Los Angeles where his neighbours include Robbie Williams, Paul Stanley and Avril Lavigne.

I thought when he first mentioned that title and described the the concept of the album that it was an off the cuff joke.  Hmmm....

Worst album name I've ever heard. Sounds like a bad 80s hair metal title: now it just needs a chainsaw in some sort of phallic representation near a scantily clad, artificially enhanced female model.

Didn't Brian just release a new album a few short months ago? I thought he was in the process of touring, promoting that album. It's interesting that Brian is going into an interview, planning to discuss a new album - already.

Well, we know he likes to write quickly. We know he likes to record quickly. We know he loses interest quickly. Maybe he got this one demo'd based on both the leftover Bennett compositions from a couple of years ago and in the time between initial TLOS shows and the eventual recording of that album. There was a lot of time in there for someone who works that way.

The Ian Wagner crowd is more excited by this than they were with TLOS.

Is there some sort of rivalry between SS.net and The Record Room that I've been blind to?

I think it would be cool if Brian stuck out an album every year, he might want to make up for lost time. Not everything has to be seen as a second coming, if he wants to just record a load of catchy tunes then I want to hear them, I liked 'Message Man' and 'Just like you and me' more than some of the other songs on TLOS so more of the same would be nice.
The album title is horrid but also funny, no worse than 'The LA Light Album' - one of the worst album titles I have ever heard!

O Mi Amor and Just Like Me And You reminded me a lot of Imagination, which is not necessarily a bad thing but not the best thing either, hands down. As an album title, 'A Rock Fantasy' just sounds plain wrong to me, like it's going to be on the GIOMH side of quirkiness rather than, say, The Beach Boys Love You. But we'll see. As long as the music's good I couldn't care less about the title.

I can try and guess the following:

Wurlitzers
Wurlitzer-sounding synthesizers
Moog sounding synths
Manic laughter
Amusing voices asking for tickets
Maybe a rainforest song
Maybe a song about a healthy juice bar
A wistful song at the end as they/we leave the island

it all sounds intriguing.

Dang, you guys have some sick minds.  It's not a porn flick.   police

"Pleasure Island" is from PINOCCHIO -- a classic morality tale that's a perfect fit for Brian's real life...

Hey Luther, Bri could also go for something like THIS:

Of course this sounds great, if Al can make me go out and specially order his pirate book, I think a random concept album from Brian is more than welcome.

Ahhh...and didn't he say "Surfer Girl" was inspired by "When you wish upon a star"?

Now this is getting interesting...

 LOL this almost killed me in all its bone-dry fun. Perhaps it's a bit like Brian's 'Chinese Democracy'. Not only will we have to wait ten years for it (he'll be 76 by then); but also it will be a formidable return to the halcyon days of 'Surfin' Safari' and 'Shut Down Vol. II'. Only: this time it'll be more about driving an electrically powered 409, Diet Coke, genetically modified hamburgers, and going for a gay marriage. I think.
