Today's show

Last week I played ONLY songs released in 2015. It was easy. So I decided this week I'd feature a bunch that weren't featured in the Gremmys. Easy too!

This is the last 2015 extravaganza, though there's still a number of great records that didn't show up in either show.

Anyway, here's last week's playlist

Guest Gremmy Awards

As far as I know, the Gremmys are the only surf/instro awards out there, which puts a lot of weight on my whim. Too much.

So I reached out to a few respectable folks that I know are on top of this music to try to bring a few more opinions into the mix.

Everybody has been given carte blanche as to how they want to present this. No "rad", "trad", "modern", "way-out" here.

Amphibian Man - Hellas

This is the first I've heard from Amphibian Man, though it appears they actually had another release earlier this year. These Ukrainians play some aggressive lo-fi surf with some big growling bass guitar while still managing to sound pretty trad.

Gremmy Awards 2015: The Best of the Rest

While I'm busy cooking up these other awards, I find a few more things I want to recognize. So here are a bunch of smaller awards. No honorable mentions, only one runner-up if that.

2015 Gremmy awards

There's still the miscellaneous Gremmy awards to be awarded, but the big ones are out of the way. I figture we ought to listen to them!

In addition to those, I've got a few latecomers and a few notables that didn't get a nod. There's still a TON of excellent 2015 releases that didn't make the cut here... I'm considering doing one more 2015 show after the New Years and sweeping up the ones that aren't in this one - there's enough that it would still be a great show!
