Don't know if this has been posted here already (news pasted from pitchfork, sorry for the lame jokes):

<<Oldham, Johnston, Wolf Pay Tribute to Pet Sounds
Matthew Solarski reports:
We need not laundry list the stars of indie and mainstream alike who cite The Beach Boys' 1966 masterpiece Pet Sounds as a profound influence--instead we'll make animal noises! C'mon everybody! Woof for Will Johnson's Centro-Matic! Howl for Patrick Wolf! Oink for Oldham Brothers! Purr for Architecture in Helsinki! Bleat for Daniel Johnston!

Now that we've made our silly quota for the week, on to the news: all these hepcats and more have signed on for a star-studded tribute to everybody's Second-Best Album of All-Time. The disc, which preserves Pet Sounds's original track order, will arrive this fall courtesy of Spain's Houston Party Records. It's cheekily titled Do It Again: a Tribute to Pet Sounds, a reference to Brian Wilson's notorious perfectionist tendencies with studio musicians (dude would frequently demand his players "do it again", seeking nothing less than the best).

Indeed, it would be nice:

01 Oldham Brothers: "Wouldn't It Be Nice"
02 Vic Chesnutt: "You Still Believe in Me"
03 Nobody and the Mystic Chords of Memory with Farmer Dave: "That's Not Me"
04 Centro-Matic: "Don't Talk (Put Your Head on My Shoulder)"
05 Micah P. Hinson: "I'm Waiting for the Day"
06 Raygun: "Let's Go Away for a While"
07 Dayna Kurtz: "Sloop John B."
08 Daniel Johnston: "God Only Knows"
09 Mazarin: "I Know There's an Answer"
10 Jody Wildgoose: "Here Today"
11 Patrick Wolf: "I Just Wasn't Made for These Times"
12 Architecture in Helsinki: "Pet Sounds"
13 The Wedding Present: "Caroline No"

Johnston, Oldham, Chesnutt... That just made my day.

Here Today and That's Not Me are two of the greatest songs ever. I've never really been blown away by God Only Knows, at least not to the level that many people are. Got no problem with the song. Just... not my favorite song on the record.

I would like to see some less popular tribute albums - like do a tribute to WILD HONEY instead of PET SOUNDS. We all know how great that album is - take an album that is a more unsung classic and pay homage to that.

dear Broken Face, I'm making an album in the vein of Smiley Smile. I can send you some tracks if you like. Or you can find some here: www.myspace.com/yopmusic (although these aren't very Smiley Smile)
