"That's Why God Made The Radio" Single!

[LetHimRun]

Very nice! 

My Dad has been to that show in Charlotte before, but it was years ago. We take our Chevelle down to the Turkey Rod Run at Daytona. We just had it down there last month for the spring show. Great times.

Well, it exceeds my expectations. Brian sounds great on it. And I think it will appeal well to the casual BB fans most of all. Very happy!

[Iron Horse-Apples]

I know this has been gone over before, but do we think we're going to get a physical release (ooer). And if it's only download, will it be available in a lossless format?

[send me a picture and i'll tell you]

O.K., thought I was going crazy.  I didn't catch the t-bird, I'll rewatch.

I'm big into cars.  The reason I wasn't on the board ranting and raving yesterday is beacuse I went to the world's largest car show here in Charlotte, got so sunburned I can barely walk, and I'm just not recoperatng, lol.

I've got a '69 Mustang, '62 Corvair, '66 Valiant, and a '64 Comet, my brothers have a '55 chevy, '64 Nova, '65 Chevy Truck, and a '71 Monte Carlo!  Love those things!

Oh, I like you a lot. I've got a '72 Chevelle and '51 Chevy Styleline.

Can I talk about my '68 Delmont  88 hardtop with 65K miles on its 455?  

I regularly drive a sexy little '05 Civic coupe, because the Delmont might make the world forget about my big p##nis.

No and no.

[Myk Luhv]

I think it's very foolish to not release a lossless-encoded option to download if no physical release is going to happen.

[HeyJude]

I think it's very foolish to not release a lossless-encoded option to download if no physical release is going to happen.

Presumably you would get a lossless version when the song is included in the album release. Having a download-only option for the entire album would indeed be objectionable. While I always prefer physical releases of everything, I don’t mind paying $1.29 for an MP3 of the new single so I can hear it sooner, knowing I’ll get a lossless version on the CD in mere weeks afterward. 

[Myk Luhv]

Yeah, that's of course true but I'm thinking: what if some non-album cuts are included, or an instrumental/a cappella take? Maybe nobody bothers to do that with singles any more beyond hip-hop but it'd be a shame to only have such things in lossy format.

[petsite]

The new BB LP will be released as a download, on CD and on Vinyl. SO get ready!

[Beach Boy]

Since many singles are released on tuesday do you guys think we are finally going to get the song tomorrow?

[Andrew G. Doe]

A live version, most probably. 

[Wirestone]

A live version, most probably. 

Exactly. But no recorded single. Not yet.

Street date on the single is April 30 in Europe, stuff releases a day later for the U.S. -- so May 1 for us.

That also lines up perfectly with the April 29 TV promo appearance.

[Stegibo]

In Germany records are released on Fridays, so I guess we should get it on April 27th.

Anyone seen a pre-order for the single other than the European site Jaspy linked to many days ago?

April 29 TV appearance--is that the CBS Sunday morning thing?

Yep. Seems like the perfect time to unveil the single, doesn't it?

Everything seems to add up to that, yes.  Curious about Andrew's post concerning a possible "live" single, howver, presumably taken from the sirius recording, being released earlier.

[Mr. Cohen]

They should've produced "Imagination" like "Everything I Need". That, to me, represents a decent middle ground between the more classic Brian Wilson and '90s slickness. "Imagination" goes to far into the '90s slickness territory. Brian Wilson at that time ideally should've had the production Randy Newman had  on "You've Got a Friend In Me",

I think Andrew alluded to the fact that the "live" single he meant would be the first ever live performance on the first night of the tour tomorrow...

[orange22]

Wow, this is actually quite good! I'm really liking Mike in the clips too, he seems so proud of the band.

Just did a chord sheet if you want to play along at home. Apologies if something is off, some parts are a bit hard to hear. Also thanks to Andrew for the lyrics.

I think he meant the concert will be recorded, uploaded, and in our grubby little hands by the time they take their encore.

Yeah, gotcha.  Sometimes the (painfully) obvious escapes me.

Pssh.  This is 2012...I want a live video stream of every concert on the tour! 

[Iron Horse-Apples]

And if it's not in HD 3D, forget it!

I want to see Bruce's shorts as if they're gyrating a mere sniffing distance from my face......
