Just yesterday I said that the accordian is my favorite instrument, next to the guitar. I swear. I'll be checking them out, thanks Zak. |

Thanks for the review Zak. I had not heard of the Windows before. I'll definitely check them out. —Ryan |

I have to disagree with this sentiment...I don't think there can ever be enough covers of Miserlou and Squad Car out there... |

Zak, I'd love to hear your review of my CD of almost all covers. I included some regulars like Mr. Moto and Baja because it was really intended as a souvenir for those in the crowd that don't hear surf music often, or ever. I'd never try to sell one to a real surf music enthusiast, that will be the next one. |

For the most part, the modern versions of those standards that stick out the most to me are the ones where the band/artist takes a really creative approach, rather than just doing a rote interpretation of the normal arrangement. Ape did a really neat Polynesian/exotica version of "Misirlou," and the Tiki Tiki Bamboos (probably forgot an 'o' or three in there) did something along similar lines, though they slowed it waaaaaay down. Those versions grabbed my attention much quicker than almost any of the billion non-DD versions of that tune floating around out there. -Warren —That was excessively violent and completely unnecessary. I loved it. |

I just checked out their myspace page - I agree with Zak - this is what lofi is supposed to sound like. |

Yeah, I've heard these guys before and I think they're pretty good. I usually like Japanese instro/surf/garage/rock&roll bands. Also from Japan there's the Twinkle Arrows and the Whys, a couple of great bands, at least in my opinion. —Augusto Vite |

While I don't think these guys brought too much to their covers, I think they really managed to get a great lo-fi sound. Their cover of Bombora has an AMAZING guitar sound, but they simplify the drums. NOBODY can get that song right — |

I sent a request for the Windows CD, but I'm also interested in hearing Stormtiger's disc. —Swing! Twang! Shake! Twist! |
