Beach Boys’ Mike Love to Unleash the Love with double album of new material and remakes

Mike Love is releasing a double album called Unleash the Love on November 17.

double album! From Mike Love!? THEE MIKE LOVE!?! Of The Beach Boys!? Wow! Shit! Really?

But what the hell else is he supposed to do at this point in his career? Surely you don’t expect him to just rest on his laurels and endlessly tour the state fair/casino circuit, trading on the renewable goodwill of his old band’s back-catalog?

Fuck no! Mike Love is not a legacy act. Mike Love remains hungry. Mike Love still has something to prove. Mike Love is a Restless Artist — capital R, capital A. The creative spirit compels him to release a 25-track double album featuring John Stamos on drumson one song.

Besides, The Beach Boys are one of the few major Boomer Rock legacy acts that never made a big, messy, flawed masterpiece-type double album. Even Smile was intended to be culled to fit on a single slab of vinyl during its aborted recording sessions (per Wikipedia). So fuck you; at the age of 76, Love is finally crossing that Rubicon. WHO ARE YOU to stand in his way?
