to leaven the mix with some more recent music (that is, anything recorded
after the mid-Sixties surf heyday). I've got some Malibooz, Jeff Foskett
and even Bobby Sutliff's cover of "New York's A Lonely Town," but if
Auditeers have any suggestions for great songs that belong on an all-era
surf sampler, I'd like to hear them.
Dom Mariani has a brand new album that consists of nothing but instrumental
surf tunes: UNDERWATER CASINO by Dom Mariani and the Majestic Kelp, on Head
Records. Excellent stuff.
Danny McDonald's rather splendid new album, SUMMER CITY (imagine Paul
Kelly's GOSSIP and UNDER THE SUN as interpreted by Brendan Benson), has a
terrific instrumental surf track, "Mermaid Beach," as well as a great vocal
evocation of Australian surf culture, "An Hour's Drive in a Sandman Panel
Van." Clearly, Australia's got the most active surf scene of the moment!
