ICE COLD KEGS

It's almost here. You don't want to creep into summer without a decent stash of surf music do you? You probably have some of the better known classics, but hows about the obscure never cracked anything let alone the charts 45s that you wouldn't recognize in a thrift store if your life depended on it? You need to check out the collection at Big O. Fifty cool surf instrumentals by nutty named bands, most of whom will be unrecognizable to even you fiends. I recognized less than ten. The oddball variety and the well played surface noise is a nice mix. Makes you wonder what kind of party these may have been played at back in the day. Were they making out, of tangling with crashers? Did they come from the collection of a total square, or someone insanely badass? You could ponder this imaginary party all night long, or, what the fuck, recreate it. Do one of those historical reenactments, but do it of some forgettable party with a bunch of scratchy surf records. Go over there to check them out, or if you're too lazy, you can just cherry pick a few from the unrelated way more recognizable surf instrumentals above the big show.
