Here's to another new release...
I've recently rekindled my love for surf music after getting indigestion from stuffing myself on an all surf diet a while back. Don't worry I only have 1 Hawaiin shirt left, the original. While listening to the Devlar surf sessions on live365.com ( http://raydukes_1.tripod.com/ ) Ray, who still plays 3 SumpPump monkeys tracks, played an old Aqualads track. So I decided if Aqualads had a viable site other than the now deceased MP3.com, and they do! ( http://www.aqualads.com/index.html ) AND they have a new CD, to make sure you know what type of music it is, titled "Surf!, Surf! Surf!
The startup page has a pretty awesome image of their new CD cover (which I may buy a t-shirt of)
I think I may just get all of their CD's. I better start making a list too.
Now to another Aqualads subject. They are pretty awesome. But I seem to remember them being younger for some reason. Sort of how old the Stingrays(where did they go?) were back in the day, the glory days of mp3.com that is. Well to my chagrin I found out that they are another typical late-middle aged surf band trying to rekindle a cool youth that they never had. I guess the "lads" reference in their name is just a sick joke on my imagination. But alas, their music is awesome.
P.S. Slacktone playing "Miserlou" is insanely awesome.

Well to recant my statement: "Well to my chagrin I found out that they are another typical late-middle aged surf band trying to rekindle a cool youth that they never had." They are not all "late-middle aged". The "old" dude actually turned on one of the guitarists to surf way back in his day, playing in a band that did some surf covers/originals. Apparently the title song to their new CD is an original from the said "old" dude's former band. I do apologize to the Aqualads for making such a hasty judgement from just a picture. I'm sure they are reading this. As well as the other 154,003 Pu_Th_Fl subscribers.
