Tomorrow is Mardi Gras here in New Orleans so it's all party music, almost entirely 45's, 100% vintage. Playlist isn't set, I'm just gonna spin 'em as I feel 'em.

Splashdown is when a spacecraft hits the water upon reentry into Earth's atmosphere. When astronauts go from space to surf. It's a great name for the splashdowns, who mix a semi-trad surf sound with a sense of cosmic wonder and adventure. Think The Spotnicks doing Rocket Man rather than Man... or Astro-man?, with a non-aggressive, thoughtful surf approach and not much reliance on out-there effects. There's a surprising amount of variety too.
It's been slim pickins for surf releases for the past few weeks, but they're finally coming through. Brand new releases from Genki Genki Panic, The Bahareebas and Amphibian Man. Also got a nice fuzzy block in the first hour. Tune in! 4-6pm Central Time!
I once declared that 2016 belonged to Amphibian Man, so now it's time to see what he has in store for us in the new year.
