Happy Birthday Bran.. 

Have a good one, we love you.

I love how nobody has objected to Prince being in the Top 10.

He's the second greatest songwriter of all time in my opinion.

ahead of new entries from Darren Styles, Fleet Foxes, Sara Bareillies, The Music, Judas Priest and Weezer.


My god, is that not just wonderfull

It's out of stock at the moment on amazon.com..

They better get more in soon.

I'm really moved by this.  Can you imagine how Dennis would feel if you told him, 31 years later, POB would be topping the Amazon chart?  I wonder if it'll make Billboard, and if so how high it will chart. 

I guess he'd say, 'what's amazon' 

Amazing, it's in the top 10 on amazon US, UK and Canada.

So happy for everyone involved.

Thoughts?

I know Dennis' album is doing and will continue to do very well sales-wise, so hopefully we can see more of Dennis' music released, as well as 70s-era Beach Boys.  This is what the market wants ... keep it coming on vinyl too.  audiences are smarter and hipper than ever before, we don't need endless greatest hits packages anymore, we know the good stuff and we want more of it.  Pacific Ocean/Bambu sales will prove this

Well said

I don't know, seems a bit to good to be true.

Carrots and all.

Sounds slightly exciting!!!

I have no doubts TLOS will be as big as BWPS.

As Pvt. Gripweed said, it's most likely gonna shift 15-20,000 in it's first week and go on to be a steady seller like BWPS

I seriously think Mike has one of the nicest houses I've ever seen..

Thx mikeyj I''ll try track down that documentary..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1_3xvHLzDY&feature=related

Well this is pretty much the greatest Beach Boys documentary out there In My Opinion..

But I have a question..

Where does all that Home Footage like the one in this documentary exist, are you guys in possesion of any,

Aside from smile boots, it's like the holy grail!!

I can't believe we're getting both Pacific Ocean Blue AND That Lucky Old Sun this year! The past 5 years have been such an exciting time to be a Brian Wilson fan.

Yeah, there has been this beautiful revival of his and BB music

I like the title for the news on smiley smile news, 'those lucky old fans' haha.

Anyway this is great news,

Thank you Brian, and Melinda I guess 

Is it plausible that Brian might tour the POB album? I mean, he DID record a version of Carl's "Heaven", seemingly totally out of the blue.

That would be one of the coolest things any musician has ever pulled off if they had Brian tour his deceased brother's unreleased final album.  Man, talk about adding to the "amazing things Brian Wilson did" legend. 

Maybe if POB/Bambu was being released on Capitol...but it isn't...

There loss..

It's either going to be......

1) A BB Reunion

Or

2) Brian has resigned to Capitol and TLOS will be released sometime soon..

Not a big Queen fan at all.

But what's does that matter, were getting POB and that's ALL that matters

Check it out!!!

Being married to an egomaniac isn't exactly a stroll through the park. I'm surprised he found that many who said "I will".

Money talks.

Mike Love Walks.

David is cooler in this pic because he's got more talent than Mike

Thought you had more sense than that 

I'm pretty sure he's rich.

Never doubted it..

Having you're name to at least 10 beach boys songs alone would make you rich lol

'Tis true.

Hmm considering the beach boys revival in the last 10 years or so, I'm assuming he's rich again right??
