Every year the Gremmy Awards gather up and sort out the best of all the surf/instro releases. This prestigious award (a .png file for you to right-click-save-as) is only given to one band (or entity) per category, though there can be any number of Honorable Mentions. There's no real criteria except my own personal nitpicks, biases, and whims -- no voting committee. However, towards the end we'll have a few Guest Gremmys.
Here are the categories.
I've done Christmas shows in the past and I wanted to die by the end of it. So today's show has a light, tolerable dollop of Christmas surf mixed with a few new releases and a lil' bit of whatever-the-hell
Here's last week's: 12/12/16
As I get ready to sum up my favorite surf and instro releases of 2016, it's helpful and fun to make a big ol' list of them, good and bad. Inevitably I've missed a few, so feel free to point them out so I can add them. They're in no order whatsoever

Man, the weather is spectacular here in New Orleans, I can't wait to do this show. I've got new stuff from Dr. Triton, Los Guapos, Stories from Shamehill and Rat-Rod Sickoli and looking through all the 2016 stuff lead me to want to play some 2015 stuff. I think y'all are gonna like this one.
