Playlists – 2005

This is the first mix CD I did with every song and every transition planned out in advance. I’m still very happy with it, so I guess it was worth the extra effort. “The Brian Wilson Orchestra” is a name I made up for a great instrumental from Pet Sounds – it didn’t seem right to list it as The Beach Boys when there’s no singing. When I heard Brian play this song live I knew I had to work it into a mix!
