Smile

Bill Sherman has a great review and historical backgrounder on Brian Wilson's newly-released Smile. I caught him doing 'Heroes & Villains' on the Leno show last week, and it seemed loopily charming, so I'll probably pick it up when I see it used. I heard a howlingly bad track he did recently with Paul McCartney on 'Breakfast with the Beatles' (a Sunday-morning Beatlemaniac radio show here in LA) -- but maybe that was Macca's fault....
