Brian Wilson, Dave Grohl, Lorde, Chris Martin, Sam Smith, Stevie Wonder, Pharrell Williams, and Florence Welch have joined forces for an epic new version of The Beach Boys classic “God Only Knows”, commissioned by the BBC to help celebrate the official launching of BBC Music. The cover will eventually be released as a charity single to help benefit the BBC’s Children in Need program. More at Consequence of Sound.

(1) Day of Anticipation: 2012
Now that 2011 is officially a thing of the past, it’s time to look ahead at what this brand new year has to offer us music fans. 2011 will be tough to top, but with a handful of my favorites all set to release new material, 2012 is shaping up to be a another great year. So without further ado, here’s some of the music I’m most excited for in 2012…and please let me know who i’ve overlooked.
[p.s. apologies are in order. this post was originally planned for New Year’s Day, but between recovering from NYE festivities and holiday travels, it’s out a bit later than expected.]
