Permalink What song did I really dig today.....

El Gato by the Chandelles

When I first came to SG101 I knew of The Beach Boys, The Ventures, Dick Dale and little else. Then The Bambi Molesters smacked me in the face with As the Dark Wave Swells.

Pandora stations, blah blah blah...... I'm finding some great stuff. At least 20 different songs by 15 different bands.

Periodically i'll post a fave, if not for anything but my own reminisce.

Feel free to interject.

(at least 5 of the 20 were Los Straightjackets, wow ;)

my song of the day was 'hail, poseidon' off the new cd by the madeira.

Big Grin Yes Thanks, Carol!

LOVE El Gato, too, such a cool, cool track!

I love El Gato. What a great song. Hoping to talk my guys into doing it.

I'm loving Zombie Church Bells, by the Atomic Mosquitos. Super huge bass tone on the CD, which as a bass player I'm absolutely loving!!!!

The Luau Cinders

"Moment of Truth". Brilliant!

"Into the Breach", The 'Verb

For me, Storm Surf by The Original Surfaris. After hearing these guys and really liking this, I will keep looking for other recordings.

"Storm Surf" is indeed a cool track, but as far as I know, it's not by the Original Surfaris, but by the Surfaris from Glendora...

My track of the day (so far) was "White Water" by Dave Myers & the Surftones.

I apologize. Yes, I think "The Surfaris" is actually correct. Thanks.
I was trying my best to sidestep that very thing and I thought I was correct according to my interwebz references.
I've just spent the past 15mins trying to find Storm Surf on an official 45/EP/LP listing by the Surfaris (or Original Surfaris) and could only find this:

No apologies necessary, that mistake can happen to everyone.

The track was not released in the 60s, as Phil Dirt wrote in his review of the Surf Crazy compilation:

Jim Pash told me "Storm Surf" was recorded in his mother's living room in '64 with Jim Fuller's lead guitar, Jim Pash on electric twelve string, Ken Forssi on bass, and an unknown drummer, maybe Don Murray. I'm not convinced that it isn't a Decca session, though it didn't show up in the vault purge for Varese Sarabande. In any event, Jim came across this tape in a shoe box in his mom's garage. The original name is lost in time. Jim said he did not recall ever playing it live. It was probably the last surf instro they wrote. It is a wonderful, though not entirely developed tune. Thank you GNP for getting this out for all us punters.

Heard this on the way to work. Knockout summer hit from 1963. Instro version to come out summer of 2018 or thereabouts. Plans for an all Bubblegum album. This will be the closing tune. What's weird is some of my dreams are becoming reality.

Did a bit of yard work prepping for some grilling with friends and this comes on. So smooth I had to sit in the shade with a nice cold beer for a few minutes.

Dreamy, man. Dreamy =)

SyndicateofSurf:
Thanks for posting Wonderful Summer, I have not heard that since 1964!
I was in 10th grade. One of those songs that just drifted away with the surf, in the sand.

You have a unique radio station. Listening to oldies radio in Hawaii is pathetic, a commercial loop of only 50 songs.

Mahalo!

Yo MrBackwards- it's the Sirius radio station, my one serious bit of self-indulgence. It's the very reason I'm into surf as my profile will splain. I don't think I'd heard it since 64 myself. In the 60's we were all subject to the whims of the AM radio.
