"Brian's Back... Alright!"

more Allegro-like (Turrican), Wednesday, 4 October 2017 21:18 (six years ago) link

was gonna mention that mike has rerecorded "do it again" twice now but noticed that brian is also guilty of rerecording this not-especially-great song too.

Looking forward to Mike's new dirge-like arrangement of 'Brian's Back (A Lamentation)'.

That's a dove, not a love.

No "TM Song"??

'Brian's Back (in the USSR)'

I am surprised he neglected 'Student Demonstration Time'. Probably didn't want to give the snowflakes any ideas.

that album cover is a real visual assault

I actually love everything about this and WILL be buying a vinyl copy of the album

a shame he didn't go for the obvious "Mike Love Not War" song title.

Western® with Bacon Flavor, Thursday, 5 October 2017 17:19 (six years ago) link

that's a different album

Οὖτις, Thursday, 5 October 2017 17:21 (six years ago) link

I want his next album cover to be nothing but a photo of a glove embroidered with his initials.

Think about it.

my glove not yours

This classic shot would’ve been a better choice over that dove photo. Someone please PhotoShop it ASAP. pic.twitter.com/LOX1U11eCi

All I can see is a penis and he's clapping his hands.

He needs to save that shot for an album entitled Namaste.

this is ridcolus (Old Lunch), Thursday, 5 October 2017 19:52 (six years ago) link

there was a point where Mike Love could sing, right?

"YOU'RE TOO CHICKEN SHIT TO SHARE A STAGE WITH THE BEACH BOYS!"

Mike Love literally worse than Manson? lol

AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Saturday, 25 November 2017 19:03 (six years ago) link

currently sitting at 0.82 on RYM. after listening to it, I can say it is certainly not *that* bad, but if being a total jerkoff is a 1-star penalty then the rating makes sense.

second disc is hilarious by the way. the amount of auto-tune on this record makes me nauseous.

frogbs, Thursday, 30 November 2017 21:43 (six years ago) link

Meanwhile it's sitting at 4.5/5 on Amazon, described by one reviewer as "One of the best solo albums by a beach boy and a sincere effort by Mike Love."

"One of the best solo albums by a Beach Boy" has to be some of the faintest musical praise in history.

lol at ‘a sincere effort’ - he’s doing his best, guys

Ok I'm going to listen to the new Mike Love album Unleash The Love now.

Imagine "Commando" in the style of "Kokomo." In fact, imagine "Commando" as the direct prequel to "Kokomo."

eight months pass...

Sixty plus years of existence and the Beach Boys will always be this tangled mess, finally turning into the full Jarndyce v Jarndyce it always was. The lawsuits will never be resolved in the end, I suspect.

Mike Love: (shoots gorilla in the temple) Namaste.

Isn't there supposed to be like a registered trademark symbol after 'The Beach Boys Touring Group Licensed by Mike Love'?
