View ArticleInterlude- The Weird-Ohs & The Silly Surfers (2 original LPs + bonus trax)
Hi all you Ho Daddys and Beach Bunies out there! I really wonder why these tunes / LPs are incredibly hard to dig up and have never seen re-release. For me, this is 10 times Sgt. Peppers, for instance....

Well, you have been warned. As promised, here’s a double set of whacky surf songs. Of course, California rules, but there’s also bands from faraway places like Canada, Australia, New Zeeland, Mexico,...

View ArticleInterlude – Not Fade Away – 24 versions that won’t fade away
It’s 50 years ago (1957) when Buddy Holly and Norman Petty penned the song with the Crickets' drummer pounding a cardboard box for the recording session. A perfect pop tune, simple as can be, no guitar...
View ArticleUC230 – Non-Garage 4
Again, for one reason or another, the tunes I’ve selected here have little to do with, say,the Seeds. Either they’re simply too early (Vilas Craig, 1958), or they feature dubious instruments (like...
