Summer is officially here. You can feel the scorching heat everywhere you go, what ever you do you'll sweat. Even if your standing still or just staying put, you'll sweat like a boxer. Well, enough of the rants, Soundblasters will pound your ears with the best music this summer! As far as i'm concerned, this is one of the best season to do everything. No rain or storms to dampen our spirits, it's also one reason to stack up some brewskies on a big cooler, grill some food, set up your own pool on the front yard, have your music ready and call up your friends and party! If your financially challenged, this is one way to go my friend. If you have the means to go further that your front yard then do it. Go out and play. Give the kids some time off, let them enjoy their summer. Take out some time off from work, leave your paperworks at the office this weekend and then pick up your girlfriend, wife and kids, your dog and have a fucking weekend. Go mountain climbing, pick up your scooter or sport bike and ride till your butt hurts, go wakeboarding, snorkle, diving, go surfing, smoke one giant spliff or go fuck a goat or whatever. Have some fun and loosen up, leave your worries behind man!
You see, we have some of the best beaches and world class surf destinations and let Soundblasters provide you with the right soundtrac
k for your initial summer get away. Some of you will be familiar with some of the tracks here notably the first one. If you've seen Pulp Fiction, you'll know what i'm talking about. Dick Dale is considered the "King of Surf Guitar". Ramon Jacinto may have gotten some cues on this man. No question, Dick Dale is awesome and sharp. Another one is by Hepcat, one of Los Angeles' finest and technically superior ska band. Featured in this playlist also is The Surfaris from Glendora, California, they are best known for the best instrumental in 1963 "Wipeout" and is often regarded as the surfing anthem. Chantays "Pipeline" which was released in 1962 is another treat for you guys. The band was started by five high school friends at Santa Ana High School in California, when they were inspired by a local group called The Rhythm Rockers. The Ventures music has been cited by many famed guitarists as an influence; indeed, their virtuosity, experimentation with guitar effects, and unique sound laid the groundwork for innumerable groups, earning them the moniker "The Band that Launched a Thousand Bands". They have also contributed to the surf music genre, though they are not, as popularly perceived, strictly a surf band. Again, you'd also think of Ramon Jacinto in this one. There's also The Cocktails Preachers version of the Clash original "Rudie Can't Fail". Nice cover in my opinion, it's something different I say. The Trashmen is more of a garage rock band but their single "Surfin Bird" made and placed them on the charts. This song was also used on Stanley Kubrick's movie "Full Metal Jacket". This playlist will not be strictly all about surf music, there are some ska , reggae, some afro cuban cuts and acid jazz. It is a hodge podge of good ol' beach/pool and party music. Enjoy and have a beer!
