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

[Fro]

I hope Do It Again doesn't end up on the new album because that's basically saying "hey sorry we couldn't come up with some new songs."

That's why I think it'll just be on the Walmart zinepack or whatever and maybe some other compilations and not the album.

Exactly.  I'm fine with them throwing it in as a bonus track on the album too, but whatever is on the proper album should be songs that haven't been on a Beach Boys record before.

[brother john]

So do we know who wrote and produced this? It sounds like Beach boys by numbers and not the sort of thing that B Wilson would have written for himself.

Y'know rhere's no sign of Jeff in this video, unlike the DIA feature.

Great, thanks for this!

I keep re-watching the video and falling more in love with the song..

Better than I could have ever expected!

[Wirestone]

Gotta love Al. Capitol takes the track down from Youtube, so Al puts it on his Facebook page. He is using guerilla tactics at this point. What a maniac!

Um... that's not a Youtube video. That's an exclusive promo video endorsed by Capitol. They just don't want Youtubers posting unauthorized copies of it, which is why those other links got taken down. It's rather draconian, but hey - they're a big record label. Being draconian is their business model.

That's not an official posting either. It's just an alternative video hosting service, one that is harder to automatically censor. Capitol has not officially released the video yet.

[Rocker]

The cherry on top in the video is Karen Lamm in her T-Bird cruisin!

Dennis' T-Bird iirc

Is it me, or is Al always the first to break news, first to post videos like this (regardless of if they've been released), etc. etc. etc.? Is the guy clueless, or is he just looking out for us folks?

Honestly I think he's clueless

He is out there doing interviews everyday promoting his solo album in the midst of the reunion stuff...

I'm pretty sure that his facebook site isn't run by him personally

[RONDEMON]

Now taken down as well.

[Lowbacca]

It will pop up again (officially then) soon enough!

I seem to hear Jeff less and less as I listen to this video over and over again. I can certainly here david. I can detect his south bay accent very clearly. This is a major success. I can't stop listening, and the song keeps playing in my head. It has anthemic potential.  I can hear the Glee cast wanting to do it. I too can't wait to hear each new installment of this deeply spiritual reunion /

I understand all this, but he just has a history of doing this stuff. Like, wouldn't shock the hell out of me if he were behind the video being posted if not the one who copies the link and hit "enter" himself.

You guys rule. Thanx Bro John. About to check it out.

...That's why God made SSMB.

I thought the car was a '55 or '56 chevy, are we sure it's a t-bird?

[stack-o-tracks]

That was the one from Two-Lane Blacktop. A matte grey '55 Chevy.

[Ron]

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!

[Runaways]

Whos singing "thats why god made the radio" after the first chorus?  Before mike starts talking about how its an accolade
