Brian Wilson
A few weeks go, I told you about the impending release of Brian Wilson's new album That Lucky Old Sun. It's a great album - similar in style to 2004's SMiLE, but with a more contemporary sound.
My favorite track from the album is a collaboration with SMiLE composer Van Dyke Parks called "Live Let Live". It has a classic sound I think you'll enjoy a lot (Why not click here, download it, and give Steve Jobs ninety-nine more cents).
Today's video is a classic - it's Brian and his band singing "That Lucky Old Sun" in the backseat of a British taxi. The performance is surprisingly great considering the band is hurtling through London traffic.
Stick around at the end for a surprise Beach Boys song.
