As some of you may already know, the research team I'm part of including John Brode, Joshilyn Hoisington, and Craig Slowinski have been developing a website to start disseminating our work and correct outdated information. Ahead of the 60th anniversary, we're beginning with a series of making-of essays and recording breakdowns for Pet Sounds and its outtakes, working through one song at a time. Below the essay section is a lump of information laying out each step of the production chronology, the tracks on tape, and all of the known session dates.

Wouldn't It Be Nice has just been published, You Still Believe in Me is close to being done, and That's Not Me is quite far along. After the rest, the plan is to flesh out the site and start working through other time periods. Joshilyn and John (I helped, slightly) are also developing a complete, note-accurate Pet Sounds arrangement scoring project that'll start to be distributed in the coming days. This is a real labour of love for us, cramming in every exhaustive detail that we could ever imagine wanting to know ourselves, and I'm very excited about finally getting something substantial out there after working together for the past five years. I hope it's an enjoyable read, if you're interested in this sort of thing, and I'll keep coming back with updates as they're posted to the site.

(A huge thank you to Austin Heller, who offered to design the site and has been running around making adjustments like a madman for the past few days to get this ready to go.)

Absolutely insane level of detail. This is a very sorely needed resource especially when it comes to SMiLE. I look forward to your progress!
