No additional info yet but I wanted to let you know that I found a CD Maxi Single "That's Why God Made The Radio" available for preorder in a Online CD Store.

Well, it's just a Swiss CD shop and there are no additional infos.
Couldn't find it in UK/US Online Shops.

I think so.
It's brand-new, wasn't online yesterday.
Despite missing facts, I think it's interesting that there will be a new single and that it won't be "Do It Again".

I wonder if the new album will come out, followed by a new GHits package within weeks, both featuring this single so they cross-fertilise sales.  The biggest income earner for the BBs from the new album will be the interest it sparks in their back catalogue.

Hopefully Do It Again is on it too as the b-side, that'd be a cd single worth buying! I reckon if they push this in a big way it could do well, we're not talking massive sales but it could go top 5 here in Britain with the right promotion.

Haven't they learned not to include God in a title?

Anything's possible, sometimes acts that have been gone for years come back with a song that's SLIGHTLY gimmicky (which this song sounds like it's going to be!) and hit #1 again. 

For instance a few years ago, Randy Travis came out of nowhere and made a song called "Three Wooden Crosses" that was essentially a gospel song that burned up a lot of charts and was a huge hit for him.  Then he disappeared again.

Perhaps they should change it to "That's Why Alexander Stepanovich Popov Made The Radio"...

Is it correct that this will be the first new (and officially released) Beach Boys song in 20 years? Wow.
With the whole reunion hype, the time couldn't be better.

Going by the name alone, I hope that this is a return to the weird and quirky Brian Wilson productions of the early 1970's, ala "Take A Load Off Your Feet".  Grin

Based on the title, it could be a soulful ballad like 'In My Room'.

I think it's news to Brian that he produced it.

Hm.

I don't hope it'll be in the vein of some of his more 'forced' BBs-like constructs, like 'Too Much Sugar' or 'Let's Get To Heaven In My Car'.

Seems That's Why God Made The Radio was written by Jim Peteri, Joe Thomas and Larry (Millas?).

Jim Peteri: "There's a song that I wrote with Larry and Joe Thomas called 'That's Why God Made the Radio', which you'll hear some day, it's really pretty neat. It was meant to be for the Beach Boys."

Also featured some guy called David Hungate.

Source: http://www.melodicrock.com/interviews/Mecca-JimPeterik.html

A sessions seemingly produced by Peteri includes backing vocals by one Joe Vana:

JV: "A week later, yes, a week later he (JP) had me singing backgrounds on “That's why God Made the Radio”....for the BEACH BOYS....WTF"

Be veeeery interesting to see the songwriting credits on this one when it comes to light.
