One of the most famous unfinished recordings in the history of popular music –The Beach Boys’ “Smile” sessions — will be released in November, 44 years after it was scheduled to come out, Capitol/EMI records has announced.
The recordings were made in 1966 and 1967 and were intended to follow on the band’s critically acclaimed album “Pet Sounds.” But “Smile” was left unfinished and shelved after the group’s co-founder, Brian Wilson, suffered an emotional breakdown and the group’s legal dispute with Capitol Records over the formation of the band’s label.

Deidre
Deidre is, in many ways, a refreshing blast from the past. Employing classically retro melody lines, vulnerable yet defiant lyrics and seriously lush arrangements, this up-and-coming singer embodies the throwback sounds of '60s girl groups with a modern twist.
Based on the stories she received in a mysterious package that was tagged from New Orleans to Berlin and deemed dangerous by the NSA, Deidre cultivated her debut EP 'Curious Parcel.'

Woo hooo!!
The Irish rugby squad will begin their trip to New Zealand today for the Rugby World Cup today. They’re flying out of Dublin Airport at around 5.30pm.
Rhode Island ramblin' folk rockers:
Deer Tick began in December of 2004 as a drums and guitar duo. Within a few years the band developed into a quartet featuring two guitars, bass and drums, with three members singing and writing, and one writing string arrangements. They have released countless CD-Rs and two official releases, 2007’s War Elephant (re-released in 2008) and 2009’s Born On Flag Day.
First release off their new album is Miss. K
Here's what main Tick McCauley has to say about the upcoming record:
"Man, you can practically smell the sweat and the beer! Shit, you may even hear a guitar or two break somewhere in there!. It's got a little Exile, it's got a little In Utero, it's got a little Nilsson Schmilsson, but it's 100% Deer-Fucking-Tick in our purest, and most carefree form." 'Divine Providence', is out October 25th via Partisan Records.
