The Joe Thomas Interview: On Brian Wilson, The Beach Boys Reunion, and That’s Why God Made the Radio

31 May 2012 -> readability.com (andrewromano.tumblr.com)

In early May 2012, I spoke to Chicago-area producer Joe Thomas about collaborating with Brian Wilson on the Beach Boys’ reunion record, That’s Why God Made the Radio. Some of what he said appeared in my Newsweek story about the 50th anniversary extravaganza, but the vast majority didn’t. So I’m publishing the full interview transcript here on my personal Tumblr. Given that it’s the most in-depth account of the writing and recording of the new LP to date, I thought my fellow fanatics would want to read it.

What can you tell me about how this project came about and how you got involved?
 Well, I’ve worked with Brian in the past…

Beach Boys tour with Brian Wilson launches strong in Tucson

~

April 25 2012 -> azcentral.com

After the show, Love said he thought it was a spectacular start to the 50th anniversary tour.

"It was special," he said of being back on stage with his old bandmates, "especially with Dennis and Carl being represented."

For Marks, who left the band in 1963, it was a very special night.

"When we get together, we revert back to the old days," he said after the show. "It's like the '60s again. We're all in disbelief. We're just so grateful that it came about and we're able to play like this after such a long period of time. I think the Beach Boys are truly blessed to be able to do this."

And although it can be hard to tell at times, that spirit seemed to carry over to their enigmatic leader. As Von Mertens said after the show, "I think vocally, Brian sounded really, really strong. And I think being with his childhood pals really kind of sparked him and inspired him to sing harder and really nail it. He was belting."

THE BEACH BOYS — SURFER GIRL: The Eternal Teenage Surfside Paradise Is Born



February 28, 2012 -> schlockmania.com
[notice David Marks in the middle]

Surfer Girl was the third album for the Beach Boys but it’s where the magic really begins for this group.

It rep­re­sents the first time that Brian Wilson was allowed to assume sole pro­duc­tion respon­si­bil­i­ties on a Beach Boys album.

Freed up to fol­low his muse, he’d quickly develop the group’s basic “surf and drag” for­mula into some­thing amazing.

Part one: READ

Feb 23 2012 -> music-mix.ew.com

When Julia Nunes first uploaded a video of herself singing an original song called “A Welcome Vacation” onto YouTube in January 2007, she never expected what came next.

“I put it on YouTube instead of Facebook because I wanted it be more private!” Nunes, now 23, insists. Suffice it to say, she didn’t get her wish. Over the last five years, the Rochester native has amassed 50 million video views, ...

And Love likes what he's hearing.

"It's sounding really good in the studio," he says. "The tracks are pretty much done. We're still working on finishing up all the vocals, but it's sounding fantastic so far."

To Wilson's ears, "The word for this new album is mellow. It's the '60s revisited, kind of a dip back into the past, but it retains a little bit of the 2000s, too. So all in all, it's a very good album."

A Few Words With the Beach Boys



-> February 17, 2012  

 Q. Are the songs written and just waiting to be arranged and recorded?

Wilson: Most of them have been written. We’re going to have to write a few new ones, but most of them have been written. On the album, one song flows into another and that flows into another like that, until it’s over, until there’s no more album.

Below there is an interview with the band (februari 1972) in Holland, and also the VPRO jingle.
It's interesting that Carl mentions the new 'normal as we are', non-surf image of the group. (They didn't know yet the revival of the old hits in 1976 with the double lp Endless Summer would happen)
