Got a good bunch of new old instrumental 45s and LPs at Record Raid this weekend, so those will find their way to the air. Also got a lot of lo-fi 90's stuff in the playlist, some fuzzy/strange stuff in the last hour. Also some brand new stuff from Light Strucks. Tune in at 4pm central time!

I had some fun today, especially in the last half hour
biarritz boys - gaza surf (enjoy the hip,slick, ultra-violent and super sexy surfsound of...)
els a-phonics - el torcal (& friends)
spies who surf - destroy all pollution (calling all martians)
the abstinence - surfterraneo (paraiso de excesos)
No theme for today but I've got some new stuff from Paqueta, Os Brutus, Noskons, Evanstones and Dead Rocks. Plus some 45's I ain't played on this show yet.
I'm trying to go back to posting playlists immediately after the show, so here's last week's.
More greasy fun from North Carolina's premiere Link Wray/Food tribute band. Huevosaurus may read as a Link-styled song, but it's a pretty direct cover of a song by Huevos Rancheros. Ham Biscuit is a goofy instrumental with a few vocals that belongs on those Frolic Diner compilations. As you'd expect from their LP that I loved, it's simple fun on both tracks. Cheapo download or you can order a 7" on green vinyl.
While I love doing the Gremmy Awards, I hate that so much weighs on my own quirky opinions. Every year there are some great records that don't make the lists but that I genuinely enjoyed, and that feels like a snub. So I started asking a few other people to help out, spread out to different point of views. People that I know are very involved in surf, are following new releases closely, but don't have a platform of their own to espouse their opinions. Three surf nuts from all over the globe have stepped forward. I've given them full reign on how they want to do it.
