Too many to list and impossible for me to come up with a best of. These are the ones that are still in steady rotation on my stereo. RoadRunners "Rampage" Rev Hank "Longhorn" Maeds Dominos "The Big T" The Madeira "Tribal Fires" The Shockwave! "Death Race" The Surfaders "Dragstrip Murder Mystery" Biarritz Boys "Enjoy the Hip, Slick, Ultra-Violent and Super Sexy Surfsound of ..."

Meshugga Beach Party "Hot Rod Hanukkah" Pedrito Diablo & Los Cadáveras "El Cuerno del Chivo" "Il Triello: Three Western Tales [VA]" Sheesh. I could list even more, but perhaps that would be compulsive, like my buying habit ... Tom, you always do a great job of getting lots of new releases. Good Job man. I am envious. — Jeff(bigtikidude) Top

wfoguy Joined: Dec 11, 2011 Posts: 2118	Posted on Dec 20 2012 07:29 PM Music has been such a large part of my life that to have a favorite of anything is impossible for me to list. I've heard most of what has been listed and I'm very pleased to be alive now. I hope next year is as good as this has been. I have so many favorites I don't know what to play! Top

The Madeira - tribal fire and on number 1: Blind Rage And Violence - the end of rock an roll The best Link Wray tribute record ever (and the best record Deke ever made after 'Pabst Blue Ribbon').

Wow, thanks guys! I wish I had seen this sooner. I'm really glad you all dug Half Human, especially my favorite humanoids on the planet, Daikaiju. I just released a single that isn't quite as surfy/melodic as Half Human (free download at the link provided), and I'm knee deep in work on a full-length and a split with a friend's band. I was directed to this thread from someone who purchased the single. I frequently lurk around SG101, but I had no idea this thread existed. Again, thank you. Top
