Joe Grass - "God Only Knows"

The Beach Boys - "Don't Worry Baby"

On repeat with the volume up very high and I just want to sob and sob and sob and let every worry and care come to the surface and evaporate and then melt to the floor.

Brian Wilson explores the other side of the California dream

Nostalgia was always central to the Beach Boys. Even in the sixties, their songs about surfing, driving fast cars, and hanging out with pretty girls sounded like tales from a bygone era, a fleeting California dreamland. On That Lucky Old Sun, Brian Wilson’s return to Capitol Records—the Boys’ original label—that fondness for the past remains, but it’s clear Wilson has at long last come to terms with the imperfections of both his home and his own talents.

The record will come out on CD, DVD and digitally, as well as on a limited edition vinyl which came out on August 19.

Capitol Vinyl Reissues Pushed Back, Titles Added

Capitol/EMI has pushed back the premiere of its "From the Capitol Vaults" limited edition vinyl reissue campaign, which includes prominent entries from the back catalogs of Radiohead and Coldplay. Instead of being available in stores tomorrow, August 19, as originally planned, the first reissues in the series will arrive on September 2.

In exchange for the extended wait, Capitol/EMI has added Radiohead's The Bends and Pablo Honey, Coldplay's X&Y, R.E.M.'s Document, and the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds to the list of reissues. (Also A Perfect Circle's Mer de Noms and Steve Miller Band's Greatest Hits 1974-78.)

While most of the "From the Capitol Vaults" reissues will come as single or double 12" releases, Radiohead's Kid A and Amnesiac will both feature two 10" discs, true to their original vinyl editions.
