I hear you. Feels like the Surf Version of what "Highway Star" by Deep Purple was for heavy rock, leading in to heavy metal. So many of the "signature" moves/riffs/tricks, all in one place. Not necessarily my favorite, but so important to me as an evolved prototypical surf song. |

The Original Surfaris - Bombora. If Darth Vader were a guitar tone it would be that. I've never heard a cover that comes close — |

"Gymnopedie No. 1 "- The Pyronauts w/Ferenc Dobronyi on the SG 101 2009 Mp3 comp. Absolutely awesome, i live in Caen near Honfleur (the city Erik Satie, the writer of the tune, lived) in France.... this rendition is so cool...it was originally written in 3/4 and the Pyronauts manage to make it work in 4/4 and Surfstyle....really cool. —http://www.reverbnation.com/c./a4/2404628/1132668/Artist/1132668/Artist/link |

Here is an interesting video in which the phrase is discussed: How Open Source Projects Survive Poisonous People The video is aimed at open source software developers/communities, but surprisingly a lot of it also applies to online communities like this one.

Thanks, Nicholaus! You know, I would never have suspected that Departure could even be someone's favorite Cossacks song, never mind being among their favorite surf songs EVER! It's funny how people latch on to different songs.... —Ivan |

Departure is awesome. |
Flipping the bozo bit is when you decide that someone is a bozo. You've mentally tagged them as a bozo due to something they said or did. Its commonly used by computer nerds in open source projects.
