Never listened to The Beach Boys/Brian Wilson before, but this does look interesting. Mainly because of Jeff Beck, Lana, and strangely, Zooey Deschanel. I didn't realize she was in a band, so I probably will check her out on her own. Also Nate from fun. I would like to get familiar with him before hand. Any specific albums you could recommend?

Get Sounds of Summer (Beach Boys greatest hits), Pet Sounds, and, as Jansz already mentioned, Brian Wilson Presents SMiLE. I also like Imagination when I'm in the mood for some feel-good pop.

Brian's last album, 2008's Lucky Old Sun, had some decent tunes, but VDP's spoken-word interludes ruined the flow. Brian's voice is pretty much shot in live performances, but maybe it'll sound good in the studio. Anyway, I'll definitely be buying it, as I've bought everything he's put out, and I'll report on it.

Van Dyke Parks is a god (and I think his spoken word stuff adds to that album).
