Title: New playlist--"Pacific Coast Highway" Post by: southbay on March 20, 2013, 12:47:29 PM was a little bored and noodling around last night and finally put together a new playlist. I titled it Pacific Coast Highway (because that's what the Beach Boys' 2012 album should have been titled, darn it).
1. TWGMTR 2. Isn't It Time (album version) 3. Beaches In Mind 4. Do It Again (2012) 5. Waves Of Love 6. Morning Beat 7. Spring Vacation 8. Daybreak Over The Ocean 9. Mexican Girl 10. San Simeon 11. Forever She'll Be My Surfer Girl 12. Shelter 13. Cool Head, Warm Heart 14. Don't Fight The Sea 15. MAD 16. Going Home 17. Think About The Days 18. Southern California 19. FTTBA 20. PCH 21. Summer's Gone I haven't had time to listen all the way through yet. What strikes me, though, as being the difference between the best material on TLOS and TWGMTR (or what even raises the weaker material on TWGMTR) are the vocals. As much as I love Brian's band, they just can't sing like the Beach Boys. No one can.

That's Why Joe Used The Autotune (because that's what the Beach Boys' 2012 album should have been titled, darn it).

Funny. I'm still biased to the voices of Mike, Al and Bruce in 1965, 1985, 1992 or 2012 over those of anybody else.

Not sure I understand what you mean.

FWIW, I have no intent of restarting the old Autotune debate. That was never my point here. Not sure I understand what you mean.

Title: Re: New playlist-- Post by: southbay on March 20, 2013, 01:35:39 PM Great playlist of the 21st century BBs/BW. Thanks. Some tweaking may be in order after a full listen...

FWIW, I'm not interested in restarting the old Autotune debate here, that was never my point or intent. Absolutely agreed. On another note, is Do It Again (2012) available for purchase anywhere besides the special Wal-Mart book thing? Can't find this track anywhere.

Not that I know of, although you can get the live C50 tour version on the "Isn't It Time" single EP on itunes Title: Re: New playlist--\ Post by: bonnevillemariner on March 20, 2013, 03:06:41 PM Thanks, I have that EP. I kept seeing the special release booklet at Wal-Mart but never bought it because I figured the track would be released digitally sometime. Guess I was wrong.
Title: Re: New playlist--\ Post by: SMiLE Brian on March 20, 2013, 03:07:35 PM It might end up on MIC as 21st century BBs material.
Title: Re: New playlist--\ Post by: Moz from Oz on March 20, 2013, 04:39:31 PM I'm flying from Melbourne, Australia today, landing in LA, staying in Redondo Beach for the night then driving up the PCH for a few days heading to San Fran. My playlist for the drive is very similar but includes some older stuff as well. Can't wait !

Title: Re: New playlist--\ Post by: Sheriff John Stone on March 20, 2013, 08:05:43 PM southbay, do you like Al's "PT Cruiser"? It's a little older but I used it on a similar comp I made last year. It fit nicely this way:
- "Spring Vacation" - "PT Cruiser" - "That's Why God Made The Radio" Title: Re: New playlist-- Post by: SurfRiderHawaii on March 20, 2013, 08:12:27 PM southbay, do you like Al's "PT Cruiser"?

I know a lot of Al's songs are derivative but PT Cruiser takes the prize. Title: Re: New playlist--\ Post by: southbay on March 22, 2013, 10:01:27 AM Yeah, I'm thinking maybe Drivin' might work. My biggest problem in choosing the Jardine tracks was trying to pick something without guest vocailsts, nearly impossible. Even Drivin' has America stuck in the middle
