TJ Lubinsky confirmed on the BSN Stereo board that Mike cut a new version of Do It Again just for this project.
That explains it - But is it billed/labeled as "The Beach Boys" or as another band name on this collection's tracklisting? I didn't even check the full list, but is the original Beach Boys "Do It Again" on this full set as well, or is this remake now replacing it for fans who buy this set? Its not listed in any of the track listings I could find for the five CDs, but Ill report back when I get my set in a couple weeks (Im a weak man).

During the pledge drive segments, I noticed they listed Do It Again by Mike Love as one of the songs included in the pledge drive gifts, and they played a brief clip of what sounded like a new recording. Anyone else catch that?
how far was that into the pledge? I think they had three segments asking for donations and played the clip during the second segment. Perhaps it's this? It says Adrian Baker but it has Mike on lead vocals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUUPw2PdXaQI dont think it was the Adrian Baker recording. What I heard sounded fuller production-wise and it seemed to actually rock. But who knows, it could be. I only heard the clip once, and it was probably less than 10 seconds long. Shot in the dark, but could they have used the C50 version? Possible, but not sure why they credited it to Mike Love. Whats strange is that Do It Again by any performer isnt listed in the track listings of any of the 5 CDs, at least according to the information on WETAs pledge website.

Unfortunate that this is the stuff that BRI (and Capitol) are wasting their time on instead of opening up the archives.
I think this is a somewhat disrespectful comment. This release was made to support a pledge drive that shares the music with a wide audience and helps fund public broadcasting (which I would argue is for the public good). Its not like its some contrived, redundant compilation designed to line store shelves. I hardly think their support of this special is a waste of their time, especially considering the CD release looks more signed off on than meticulously planned/organized by BRI. I suspected someone might point out that the item is for a pledge drive. I don't think there's anything "disrespectful" in my comments. Cynical perhaps, but not disrespectful. I would definitely say the comment is disrespectful to BRI. BRIs main responsibility is not servicing hardcore fans; there are other aspects and responsibilities of sharing the Beach Boys legacy. Is approving the licensing of a song for a movie a waste of BRIs time? I imagine theres a lot going on in the ongoing operations of BRI. I would not say participating in this project is indicative of poor management. They are currently taking part in their second flagship archival release this year with the release of Becoming the Beach Boys this Friday. Participating in the pledge drive is smart; they make money on a new release without cannibalizing the sales of flagship archival releases and while sharing the music with a broader audience. Not that Wipe Out is going to help bring in new fans.

Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Mikes new PBS special (and an interesting new BBs compilation)

Thought I might as well start a thread to discuss a new My Music PBS special that is being hosted by Mike entitled Summer, Surf and Beach Music We Love. This is a clip show featuring vintage videos by the Beach Boys, Jan & Dean, etc. Looks like an interesting watch. But perhaps more interesting for us BB fanatics are the Thank You gifts offered by making a donation to a PBS station, including one of the most fascinating Beach Boys hits compilations I have ever seen: Summer Favorites. Its track listing, via WETA: 1. California Girls 2. I Get Around 3. Surfer Girl 4. Wouldnt It Be Nice 5. Summer Means New Love 6. Goin To The Beach 7. Little Deuce Coupe 8. God Only Knows 9. Still Cruisin 10. Surfin USA 11. Summer In Paradise 12. The Warmth Of The Sun 13. Barbara Ann 14. California Feelin 15. Fun, Fun, Fun 16. Island Girl 17. Dont Worry Baby 18. Somewhere Near Japan 19. Good Vibrations 20. Summer Of Love 21. Kokomo 22. Surfs Up 23. Wipe Out with The Fat Boys 24. Happy Endings with Little Richard 25. All Summer Long (a cappella version) This is unbelievable. Most of the 80s tracks from Still Cruisin. California Feelin. Summer of Love sequenced merely two tracks before Surfs Up. And what I believe to be the CD debut of Happy Endings. What a disc. EDIT: Corrected track list here: http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php/topic,24281.msg587740.html#msg587740

Guys, that's the point of the show haha. It's intentionally low budget with poor green screen effects and stilted dialogue. If you watch it with that in mind, it might make more sense. Decker's character is a mix of Trump and Steven Segal.
Oh, I understood exactly what he was going for. I just don't find it funny, but that's okay. I would like to know how Al became involved. Tim Heidecker said on Twitter the other day that hell never tell how he got Al, for whatever reason.
