I'm listening to "Smile"...

...the just-released reimagination of the Brian Wilson/Beach Boys album begun, but never completed, in 1966. It's very cool, and I highly recommend it to anybody who enjoys tuneful 60s pop. What a wonderful end to the formerly tragic story of Smile.



Those of you unaware of the history: I found a web site that gives a fairly concise description of Smile's journey from Brian Wilson's head to your CD player. Also, here's Rolling Stone's five-star review of the album. Check it out!
