I just heard Sunshine in the sunglass hut in London. Was pretty cool. Sounded great through the sound system.

Yesterday morning, my favorite radio show played "Warmth Of The Sun" followed by "The Like In I Love You".

Cool! "Sunshine" is my favorite track from that album (Brian track is mildly good too minus that BBs-esque bit).

Twice now I've heard "I'm Waiting For The Day" playing over the same mall's sound system.  It always surprises me 'cause it's not a "usual" Beach Boys song to be heard other than from someone who has "Pet Sounds" playing at home.  But both times I've sung along to it.

Back in the late 90's I worked at Kroger (a grocery store in GA) and I can confirm they played *every* song off Stars & Stripes, Vol. 1 for awhile...some songs I heard more than once.  Also on rare occasion I'd hear "Sail On, Sailor".

Come to think of it, I did hear a muzak version of "Surf's Up" before at an airport.  No joke!

Not really a grocery aisle or the Beach Boys but it's somewhat relevant. I decided I'd test my local oldies station for the first time the other day and the first song that played was "Pray for Surf" by the Honeys. Held a sheepish grin on my face for at least a good half-hour.

Ok, a couple of weeks ago it was "Hot Fun In The Summertime" at the bowling alley. Today, on the first day of summer, it was "Girl Don't Tell Me" at Starbucks. Not quite as rare and amazing, but still not an everyday occurrence.

Yeah, I've heard that one, too!  The other day, I heard the BBs' version of "Darlin'" at the grocery store. Nice to hear that one blastin' full out!

Oooh....I was about to post one about the weekend, but remembered one from a few years ago, so I'll start with that one:

1) My wife and I were in Toronto in December 2011. One morning she had to go out to get some tea or something, and in the store she heard..."Child of Winter."

2) This past weekend my wife and I saw a new production of Hair in Chicago. (I'm not into musicals, but Hair is one of my obsessions.) As intermission was coming to an end, a cast member brought out a radio and turned it on. It was playing "Good Vibrations"...but...I thought there was something odd about it...the piano sounded a lot louder...but I dismissed it as just the sound being adjusted to make it sound like it was coming from a transistor radio....until I heard these magic words: "Hummmmmm-be-dum hum-be-dum, whoa-oh..." It turned out it was someone's custom-made edit of "Good Vibrations"! It sounded like the single version and possibly synchronized with another version in an attempt to make a stereo mix (even though it was only coming out of one prop radio speaker), with the hum-be-dums added in, and the ending VERY extended.

Haha actually I was going to Sprouts next door. I was just parked by 5 guys. I did try it once when it first opened. Didn't care for it.

I kid you not - but I heard "God Only Knows" in a local grocery store in the evening of February 6th, 1998.  I had not yet heard of Carl's passing - but I've always thought there was something very, very cool about that.  Plus - it had to just be by chance - I don't think they actively program the piped in stuff that comes over via Muzak - so it wasn't like someone said, "Carl Wilson died today, let's play some of his songs".

I also once heard "Surf's Up" being played on the casino floor of the large Indian casino in Downtown Milwaukee.  They generally have an "oldies" mix playing - but "Surf's Up" still sounds a bit out of place in that setting!

about a month ago I heard Brian Wilson's version of "Surf's Up" at a local Pawn Shop.. everyone got quiet while it was playing..that used to happen back in the days when I hung out at bars and would play the Beach Boys version, everytime I would play it on the jukebox, everyone got quiet in the room... pretty cool experience...

The Walmart I go to used to play them, but now they have switched it to a local country station and all they ever play is that new watered down pop country $hit. .  Angry

It surprises me everytime I go to London how well appreciated and represented The Beach Boys are there. Greatest Hits record playing outside on the Portobello Road market, their records next to Jimi Hendrix and Rolling Stones, a lot of 7" singles in record stores, etc. In Finland you got to dig their records from the darkest corner of the shop, if there even is any. Though once Pacific Ocean Blue was playing in one big record store in Helsinki when I walked in. That was a true WTF-moment. But a great one.

This past week on XM Serius radio - Deep Tracks channel: Bluebirds Over The Mountain, Cool, Cool Water, and Darlin'. Darlin was on Tom Petty's Buried Treasure show; he commented that "the late Carl Wilson sang lead on that.....a wonderful voice......he's also the guy who sang the Beach Boys' classic God Only Knows".

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!
