After our guitar lessons last night we went to Steak N Shake for burgers. Usually they have Ricky Nelson playing, which I always sing along to, but last night we got Pipeline!! Wink

And Pipeline is always a refreshing alternative in the South of Texas, aka. "The Pit of Despair"! Hahaha... welcome, by the way.

I'm a major fan too, Noel. That boy can flat-ass PICK! BTW, the Tele he's playing originally belonged to the late, great Clarence White of The Byrds (think "Sweethearts of the Rodeo", not "Mr. Tambourine Man")and The Kentucky Colonels. It contains the first Parson's/White Stringbender made.

Thanks for sharing that. It's a facinating piece of music history. The show was great, but this was the only surf-instro tune they played. And, what is it about guitar players named Vaughan, anyway. Kenny is extraordinary. This video clip doesn't show just how hot he can play.

Direct Flights are an Australian online flight booking service and they have the original Pipeline in the background for their radio ad on PBS FM.

Once in a while I'll hear "Pipeline" or "Walk Don't Run" in Walgreens. Yesterday I heard "Moment of Truth" at Walgreens, and they're still tryin' to scrape me off the floor! A standard to surf afficienados, but not something I've ever heard outside of surf circles.

Nice Robbie. That's one of my favorite 1st wave songs. What version was it, do you remember?

"It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea

A few recent sightings...er, uh, hearings "in the wild" recently:

To corroborate Jeremy's report, Pawn Stars definitely makes use of quite a bit of twangy instrumental music.

Another show that consistently utilizes twangy guitar instrumentals is Storage Wars. It's not "surf" as we know it, per se, but more Spaghetti Western--good stuff, actually. Quite a bit better than the usual run-of-the-mill music library material.

Funny enough, the other night I caught a TV commercial for a sub chain called "Jersey Mike's" promoting their "Jersey Shore Vibe" with a new "Catch a Wave" campaign. Sure enough, guess what the music is? I'm always torn when this sort of thing happens--I'm stoked that the surf genre is getting the attention, but bummed that they didn't use a track by or commissioned from someone in-the-know aka "in the family." Watch it HERE

On the way to work this morning, I heard a radio commercial for Black Angus Steakhouse with a full-on Spaghetti Western background track. I tried to find it somewhere on the web, but no dice.

Insect Surfers
The Tikiyaki Orchestra
The Scimitars
Lords Of Atlantis
Fiberglass Jungle - Surf Radio

I've been hearing a lot of instro/surf/spaghetti in TV shows too,
I think it might have been those storage/pickers shows, but not sure.

and I saw that Jersey Mikes commercial too, I was like whoa whoa whoa,
rewind, turn up the volume, and then, ugh, so studio guys sounding.
but still a bit of a rush.

I heard "Ewa on the Beach" on one of the national morning shows a few weeks back.
That was definitely unexpected, as it was a piece about consumerism and companies essentially "endorsing" families and outfitting them with all the newest clothes and tech items to influence their friends into buying all the same stuff.
It was essentially a real life version of that David Duchovny movie.

My local Walgreens also plays quite a bit of surf. Recently I heard "Cat on a Hot Foam Board" there and was just blown away!

Sorry for the late response, Brian. Unfortunately, I don't recall which version it was.

Walgreens in Milpitas Ca last July Wipeout followed by the DC5's version of Do You Love Me? okay not surf music but wow two golden oldies in a row like that! too much!!

Peace and Stay Free!

Watching Bloomberg as I do every morning, I hear surf (spy) for an entire new 30-second Powershares commercial with no voice over. As often as surf is used commercially to exemplify "cool", you would think it is the most popular music in the world.
