Unless there are contractual reasons why it can't be done, I, for one, wouldn't mind being able to own both DVDs. They wouldn't wouldn't have the same look or feel. If there's a possibility of this, it works for me. I think I'm not alone in having this wish. —This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got. |

What Noel says, AND, I think if you released just the PO video as a separate LIVE only DVD of them, and possibly the MBP. Jeff(bigtikidude) |

Guys, thanks for a allowing me to blow a little steam(?) off. I appreciate your ideas. I'm not upset at Laika, it is their prerogative to do as they wish and I completely respect their desires. I hope you can appreciate my reaction is at the implication that I have not followed through on any promises and this was all very recent. second, I don't have huge aspirations for a PO dvd. My primary concern was not to cut into Laika's sales since the doc looks nearly complete and ready to ship(soon, IMO). I don't know what their plans are. My idea is to use the PO dvd as a fund raising tool. SOTS finishing fundraising is going to begin soon and it would be a little extra offering on Kickstarter which is why I've been working on it recently. BUT, to risk the expense to finish it is cutting it close enough without another factor putting it in red. I get a lot of people who urge me to do things like this to whom I reply, "OK, you pay for it and I'll do it". IF somebody expressed interest in producing and distributing the DVD I am all for it but there has been zero interest thus far. The Laika video has BY FAR been the most popular video on SOTS YT channel with the majority of traffic coming from Google searches. The other option is I could compromise quality, not spend anything, mix and produce it myself but nobody wants inferior quality now do they? —Sound of the Surf, the movie Last edited: Mar 26, 2012 15:33:22 |

Hey Tom Echoing everyone else's encouragement ... the footage you've already shared with us whets the Hell out of my appetite. Sometimes ya gotta wait a little extra time for things that are special. I also wanted to state publicly my thanks to you for all your concern (along with Mr. Blair) for my health last Summer in Livorno. It meant so damn much to me, and helped carry me through a nightmare of a time. That's the beauty of this 'surf community' -- damn good sweet people, with so much mutual care for others: we see it at the larger gigs with the sharing/lending of equipment, artists working as "roadies" between bands, helping to load in/load out, posters, flyers, maintaining websites such as this and the Facebook sites, and in general -- so much giving of one's time for the love of the instro surf-beat genre! Regarding Laika, I was wondering what footage they were using for their documentary? I seem to recall that they had a videographer (maybe 2 of them??) at some of their gigs. I shot some stuff during that tour and would be curious if they used any of it (they haven't reached out asking for the MVI's, by the way, or even asking if they could use what I shot). Catch up soon, I suspect! Unsteady Freddie P.S. speaking of SHMATA HARI, I shot that cool song this last Summer at the SG101 Convention at The Starting Gate, thought I'd share it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFpuWL9VoG4 http://www.facebook.com/unsteady.freddie Last edited: Mar 26, 2012 15:53:01 |

I don't think anyone was questioning your earnestness or ethics, and I expect everyone can now understand your frustration at how things developed. What about a Kickstarter campaign to raise the money to complete the DVD? Just how much do you think is necessary to get the job done to your satisfaction? —This is Noel.

My apologies for ruffling your feathers, but I think you read into my post too much Tom. I wasn't implying anything except how much we'd like to see that footage.

Thanks Danny no feathers ruffled, I was working hard to complete this... until last week. I had spent a week in Feb. rough mixing and sent the files for approval so the ball was in play. Noel, I have the funds to finish. I just needed Laika's approval. I would need to do the same with MBP but reckoned that shouldn't take so long and we'd be finished by now. I calculated this was the optimal way to use the footage. There are other options yes, but in all my research and discussions with the surf music marketing gurus, who know a lot more than I do, this was the ideal. Freddie thanks, you are amazing brother. I know some of it was NY, maybe SF and others (??) I could go back and check. td — |

Not that I'm aware of. I don't think it was a documentary of LTC, I think he was just filming the show to use a scene in his film Sound of the Surf. He was going to make the footage available to those who attended that show but it never happened AFAIK. I am very grateful that he filmed this song for Meshugga and released it, it's one of our best videos. —Danny Snyder I am now playing trumpet with Prince Buster tribute band 'Balzac' Playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Formerly a guitarist in The TomorrowMen and Meshugga Beach Party Latest surf project - Now That's What I Call SURF |

I was looking at some videos this morning and came across this gem and thought I would bump this thread for the new folks. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

Somehow I had missed this one, up until now. Having had the privilege of seeing MBP live (and having a meal with the at the late and great Don the Beachcombers), I have to say that it’s an experience well worth the effort required. The Dead Jokes Scroll, in and of itself, is worth the trip, and the music is amazing. —The artist formerly known as: Synchro When Surf Guitar is outlawed only outlaws will play Surf Guitar. |
