I too can't get the Retronauts tune to play either.
I must the 2012 comp is very impressive and quite possibly the most consistent to my listening ears.My goal this year is to actually contribute with my new band Stunt Double.We have the songs,but need to focus on actually recording.

Yes, the archive.org version is corrupt. But can you play the one here? Forensic analysis from ozboomer reveals the version here looks like an .m4a file instead of an .mp3, but at least most people can play it. Can someone provide a conversion to an mp3?

I converted the track to mp3 and re-uploaded it to archive.org. It may be several minutes before it shows up there.

Cheers for fixing that up Brian
Took the opportunity to load the SG101 mp3 comps 2005 through to 2012 onto the ipod and am looking forward to hearing what everyone submitted for each comp.

I've played all songs. Congrats for everyone.
My favorites:
.Jimmy "Adios Mi Amigos" - nice playing
.Reverb Ranch "Deep Black Sea" - great tone (ugh, i need a baritone)
.The Quiet Surfers "The Lonely Guitarist" - 2 acoustics, aaah, cool, and very good contrast after 24 (and before 9) reverbed electric
.Gimlet "The Astronaut From Narrabeen" - calmness and peace - and under the sea, the dumb and unknown darkness
.AGENT TWANG! "Out At The Track" - great song, playing, tone
.norcalhodad "California Gothic" - bad sound quality, but what a killer mood!
But everyone is great, there aren't awkward moments - great job! It's a honor to be here
I hope I'will able to do something really good for the 2013 comp!

The version at archive.org should "work". The version here is just an .m4a renamed to .mp3. At archive.org you can download a zip file of the entire collection or download/stream individual tracks.

Just for the record, "Besa Mi Mucho" is incorrect. The proper way in spanish (which this is) is "Besame Mucho". "Besame" is one word not two, and it's an "e" not an "I".

At archive.org the player doesn't play the track - i didn't try to download - i wasn't home

I give up. It worked for me in Chrome on Linux and Windows, but not Firefox. I uploaded yet another version and I still had trouble playing it in all combinations. So I don't know what's going on with that file. If you click below the player on archive.org and choose the old flash player it does work.
If you download it and play it it seems to work fine.

Brian,
I'm emailing you another file. There must be some sort of corruption in the first one sent. Sorry for all of the trouble - hopefully this new file will work better.

Thanks Rob! I'll upload it later tonight.
Togergo, if you want to do a CD cover that's fine with me. In the past people have made covers for full size physical CD cases and people have also made small images for itunes, etc. I don't know anything about that so do you own research.

Hey Folks! I downloaded the 2012 Compilation and it is great! There is only one problem... no cover art! When I asked Brian he said no one came up with art work for it! Please someone with artistic ability please make a cover so my iTunes look good! Also soon I am going to do a radio show (Rockin' & Surfin' Show) and play the entire compilation! I try to use these comps to introduce people to surf music! It is really a great resource, free music!
Thanks to everyone involved in making these! They rock!
Thanks
Guy

I'll do one if you want. I do not have the time to do anything too fancy, mind you. Are there examples of previous year's art?

So, If you need, I can post it, what format do you prefer? Just a Front (12x12cm) or front/back, every part of a real cd cover?

I know him personally, he's from the Bay Area, he's not active here anymore. I say go ahead and use it.
