Saw in the Sunday paper that Brian Wilson's Smile is getting a pretty big push for its Tuesday release. Saw it under $10 at one local store so might have to grab a copy myself. I know that Jay has already talked some about it and expressed some mild disapointment (and we do have a virtual beer bet riding on its sales since he said it won't even sell 1/3 of what Bjork's Medulla sells and I said he's a madman because I predict it'll sell pretty good and probably even outsell Bjork since she doesn't really sell that much since her early days ).

Anyway, who's in? Is there much interest around here? I know this isn't really a big Brian Wilson board like over at the Steve Hoffman site and some other places, and most of his solo album are kind of sucky IMO based on the (admittedly) little I've heard, but this one seems like one that most music nerdly types would almost feel an obligation to check out. Maybe not, though.

Also saw that BB has the new Interpol CD for under 10 smacks tomorrow. How many gonna grab that one? I bought the last one on very crappy Matador vinyl and not gonna fall for that con again. I'll take the $9.99 silver disc this time and let someone else wonder if all that rumble and surface noise is supposed to be part of the music, or not. Boy, they sure have gone downhill in recent years

Any other big ones on your radar screen?
