| Re: Announcement posted - TLOS by Sept. 2nd! [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 19 May 2008 06:25 AM CDT Woo-hoo!!! Sign me up for one of each... CD, Deluxe CD/DVD and maybe even vinyl. I can't wait too long... now I just hope that it is produced properly the way it deserves to be. The last thing the world needs is TLOS given the adult-contemporary treatment. Great way to start off a Monday morning beat. | ||

| Re: Taylor Hawkins/Dennis single to be released! [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 19 May 2008 05:21 AM CDT Question for those in the know.... Is the version of Holy Man that is included on disc 1 of the legacy set a instrumental? and if it is, are the lyrics from Dennis's sessions or new? and is there a scratch vocal track of Dennis's that can be heard someday (nudge, nudge wink winkk)? Yes... new (I think - Jon ?)... and no. But is the melody from DW or did they write a new one? | ||
| Re: Announcement posted - TLOS by Sept. 2nd! [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 19 May 2008 05:16 AM CDT Hope they'll get the promotion-machine rolling. Except for Smile it was always very poorly done the last few years.... | ||

| Those Lucky Old Fans [Smiley Smile Dot Net] Posted: 19 May 2008 04:50 AM CDT BRIAN WILSON RETURNS TO CAPITOL RECORDS / EMI, HIS ORIGINAL LABEL HOME NEW STUDIO ALBUM, ‘THAT LUCKY OLD SUN,’ TO BE RELEASED SEPTEMBER 2 ON CD, DELUXE CD/DVD, LIMITED EDITION VINYL & DIGITALLY “You don’t have to climb the Capitol tower, or play the Hollywood Bowl, if there’s a roll in your heart, and a rock in your soul…” (lyrics from That Lucky Old Sun’s “California Role”) Hollywood, California – May 19, 2008 - He is one of popular music’s most deeply revered figures, a legendary writer, producer, arranger and performer of some of the most cherished music in rock history. Indeed, it is no exaggeration to call Brian Wilson one of the most gifted and influential pop composers of the last 50 years. Today, Wilson announces his return to Capitol Records / EMI, his original label home. Wilson’s new studio recording, That Lucky Old Sun, will be released by Capitol/EMI on CD, CD/DVD, limited edition vinyl and digitally on September 2 (September 1 internationally). Brian Wilson’s return to Capitol Records / EMI, where The Beach Boys caught their first hit wave with the 1962 classic, “Surfin’ Safari/409,” is a triumphant homecoming for one of the world’s most gifted and beloved musical talents. “I’m thrilled to be back home with Capitol, and I’m looking forward to sharing That Lucky Old Sun with everyone,” says Brian Wilson. “This music is really special to me.” "We are delighted to be working with Brian Wilson for his new album, That Lucky Old Sun,” says Guy Hands, Executive Chairman of EMI Music. “We all remember the feeling we got when we first heard The Beach Boys’ music. My particular favorite classic is 'Surfer Girl.' It always reminds me of driving an open top car down the Pacific Coast Highway from Santa Barbara to Malibu. Brian Wilson is an iconic talent with enormous musical influence all over the world and we are very proud to be representing him.” A musical love letter from Southern California, That Lucky Old Sun shimmers with sun-dappled choruses and arrangements that swell and swirl as if carried by the Pacific tides. One of the songs, “Midnight’s Another Day,” has been described by MOJO magazine as “glorious.” The album is narrated in transitional interludes spoken by Wilson as ‘That Lucky Old Sun,’ the storyteller. The narratives, cameos on life and the heartbeat of Los Angeles, propel the album’s musical story. Last summer, Wilson found himself singing the 1949 classic song, “That Lucky Old Sun,” which became the inspiration for a unique approach to what would become his next studio release. He bought Louis Armstrong’s version of the track and was inspired to collaborate lyrically with his band mate Scott Bennett, and with Van Dyke Parks, his old ‘sidekick,’ to create vibrant spoken narratives. Wilson debuted That Lucky Old Sun at London’s Royal Festival Hall in September 2007 in a series of six sold-out and critically-acclaimed concert performances celebrating the theatre’s restoration. Wilson describes That Lucky Old Sun as an “interwoven series of ‘rounds’ with interspersed spoken word,” and as an autobiographical travelogue of sorts. The new studio album is produced by Wilson and was created with his acclaimed band at Capitol Studios in Hollywood, where he first recorded in 1962. The new release is the dawning of a new California morning for Brian Wilson, continuing the awe-inspiring concept album journey that he first began four decades ago. Wilson’s songwriting, arranging and producing talents came together in harmonious glory for The Beach Boys’ 1966 classic, Pet Sounds, and have continued to evolve during his solo career, highlighted by his 2004 critically acclaimed Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE. Lyrically and in Wilson’s incomparably lush, evocative arrangements, That Lucky Old Sun adds a new chapter to Wilson’s conceptual presentations, reaching ever higher with his vibrant and moving autobiographical storytelling and intricate harmonies. Following numerous nominations, Wilson won a well-deserved Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance (2004) for “Mrs. O’Leary’s Cow” and he was inducted into the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2006. Last December, he was feted as a leading cultural icon by The Kennedy Center Honors alongside Diana Ross, Martin Scorsese, Steve Martin and Leon Fleisher. Brian Wilson and his band will perform a number of his classic hits and compositions at select North American and UK concerts this summer. Brian Wilson: That Lucky Old Sun | ||

| Re: Beach Boys and politics [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 19 May 2008 04:01 AM CDT They have done a great job, but I do wish to know the details. It's still hard to think that Leaf wouldn't have mentioned it in his newletter or his book. Priess, Elliot, none of the roughly contemporary books says anything. I never have seen a picture either. | ||
| Re: 1980 gigs [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 19 May 2008 03:58 AM CDT No that was in late 1981 or early 82. It's pretty sad. They do the Medley. | ||
| Re: Announcement posted - TLOS by Sept. 2nd! [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 19 May 2008 03:57 AM CDT Glad it will be on vinyl. You know this is the first album of entirely new Brian Wilson songs for 31 years. If you discount Good Time and Ding Dang. | ||
| Re: Announcement posted - TLOS by Sept. 2nd! [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 19 May 2008 03:38 AM CDT September is right around the corner!  | ||
| Re: BW to Make Global Announcements at Capitol Records Monday [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 19 May 2008 03:31 AM CDT I think it will definitely be an announcement that "TLOS" will be released by Capitol Records. It's no coincidence that Brian has been doing some recording there. And also, some kind of promo campaign for the 'Singles Collection'. But Al and Mike's recent legal settlement (and Brian's presence there in court) makes me hope for more (like the BB's appearing on "TLOS", a 'Smile' box, a PBS concert including David, Bruce, Al, Mike and Brian). oops - "Should have looked further before posting" Very cool Brian is back with Capitol! | ||

| Re: BW to Make Global Announcements at Capitol Records Monday [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 19 May 2008 02:01 AM CDT From "California Role" "You don't have to climb the Capitol Tower, or play the Hollywood Bowl, if there's a roll in your heart and a rock in your soul" But of course Brian's doing both, and I wouldn't be surprised in the least if the TLOS release date is around the Hollywood Bowl dates. Very astute, Jeff!! (did you write the press release also!!?) | ||
| Re: Announcement posted - TLOS by Sept. 2nd! [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 19 May 2008 01:48 AM CDT Good foda deal, dude. Happy to hear this is coming out.If this turns out to be Brian's last album, I can't think of a better way than to go out on the same label where he started. | ||
| Re: Beach Boys and politics [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 19 May 2008 01:35 AM CDT I'd assumed the purpose of Ian and AGD's work was to counter some of the erros in Badman so they'd researched everything. | ||
| Re: Announcement posted - TLOS by Sept. 2nd! [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 19 May 2008 01:23 AM CDT Blimey! With Guy Hands directly involved he'd better make a few sales or he'll be out on his ear! I notice, no new songs in the album lineup...Well, that gives us a good few months for them to give Lucky Old sun that polish that is required? | ||
| Re: 1980 gigs [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 19 May 2008 12:05 AM CDT I have a question about the December 6th American Bandstand show. Was that the 20th anniversary special? Because Dennis was there for that show. | ||
| Re: The Definitive BB Historical Sites Thread. [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 19 May 2008 12:01 AM CDT I remember reading a story on Jeff Foskett where he tells of meeting Brian for the first time I think in the early 70s and he mentioned passing the glass work as seen on the 'Wild Honey' album cover. Where was this home and would the work be visible from the street? That was at the Bellagio house. | ||

| Re: Anyone going to a Tom Waits concert this summer? [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 18 May 2008 09:47 PM CDT While I think he's hilarious, I also love him as a musician and think he's underrated as such. He writes beautiful music in a pre-rock vein (such as on Alice, and others) and is just really creative and interesting. If i were offered either the past 30 years' worth of Waits' catalogue or BBs related catalogue, it wouldn't even be close. All Waits. | ||
| Re: An American Band DVD [Smiley Smile Message Board] Posted: 18 May 2008 09:12 PM CDT American Band is full of such things- For example when Brian sings "In My Room" onstage-The producers suggest that it is 1976, but the footage is from Houston 1978 and the audio is from another show...Very odd, but the doc does have great footage | ||
