Hey everyone, head on over to Archive.org to check out the SG101 2008 MP3 Compilation! You can download all the songs separately, together, or even stream them with their player.

Thanks everyone for participating! We had a record number of entries. Check out the forums as we will likely have several IRC listening parties.

The 2008 Member's MP3 compilation deadline is fast approaching! You have less than two weeks as this goes to press. Check out the story here, then get your mp3 submitted!

Head on over to the podcast page and grab yourself a copy of the SG101 Podcast, Episode #5!

This one features an Eleki set plus Ferenc interviews Shigeo Naka of the Surf Coasters!

By popular request we have published this episode in the AAC (.m4a) format. This allows you to have tracks inside the podcast so you can jump around from song to song. If you are a Windows user you can play this podcast in iTunes or QuickTime player.

Thanks Lady Reverb!

I've just created a new downloads category: Backing Tracks! The credit for this idea goes to Joe K, aka norcalhodad. Download Joe's track and play along. I hope other forum members create some more tracks and upload them for others to play around with. Enjoy!

P.S. You have to be a member of the site to access the downloads.

Episode #IV is here with The Fender IV! Lady Reverb spins a mainly traditional 60's surf show. Plus part two of our interview with The Madeira at SurfGuitar101's first convention in August. Check it out on our Podcast Page. Be sure to leave feedback in our podcast forum.

I am pleased to announce the SurfGuitar101 2008 MP3 Compilation! Our 4^th one! Just like before, this is a way for all members to share music, recording tips, and to just have fun. The main emphasis is fun, so please send in an entry no matter what your skill level is. Here are the rules:

1. You must be a member of this website to submit an mp3.
2. You may submit only 1 mp3.
3. The mp3 you submit must not have appeared on any "official" release before. Likewise, please don't submit anything that is destined for an official release in the future.
4. The mp3 must be 8 MB in size or less.
5. There is a good chance the comp will end up on Archive.org. Therefore, you must agree to their Creative Commons (Attribution, Non-Commercial, No-Derivatives) License for your mp3.
6. The deadline for submitting an mp3 is Friday, December 19th, 2008.

I have created an Official 2008 MP3 Comp Forum Thread. Please use that thread to discuss the compilation and to get information on how to submit an mp3. Please use that thread if you'd like to find a fellow member to work with on the project. With the magic of digital recording and the internet, remote collaborations are possible. Make your own virtual surf band! Let the comp begin!

Please check out our prior compilations if you haven't seen them already: 2005 2006 2007.

Lady Reverb and Danny Snyder have just delivered episode #3 in our podcast series! This one features part 1 of an interview with The Madeira, conducted at the 1st Annual SG101 Convention at Suzy's a mere two weeks ago!

Head on over to our Podcast Page to download it!

Check it out! Please visit our podcast page and download our second episode. Only a year in the making!

Episode two features a new SG101 theme song written by our own WR and performed by Ferenc, DannySnyder and TonyBologna! In addition, we have an interview with Ferenc!

This episode was conceived and produced by DannySnyder and his wife Lady Reverb (Adrienne). A special thanks to Adrienne for lending her wonderful voice and song selection to this podcast!

There were a few technical problems with the sound quality, especially on the interview, but we hope to have these worked out for future episodes.

A longer version of the interview with Ferenc may be posted later.

Please share this with your friends and family!

Enjoy!

Greetings all. A small upgrade was done to the site software this evening. If you see anything funny, please send me an email or leave a message in our forums. Thanks!

We now have our very own private IRC server! Chat in real time with your fellow SG101'ers. For instructions on how to get started, please see this forum thread. This has been up and running a short time now, and has proven quite popular and fun! I hope you check it out!
