I think I used to subscribe to a garagepunk surf podcast but I can't recall it's name and I think it dried up?

Anyway can anyone recommend a good comp of some trashy garage-style surf (nothing too lush and pristine haha!) I suppose more instrumental stuff but it's all great innit?

I really am in the mood to listen to some spaced out reverb...

The Lost Legends of Surf Guitar series (I think there's about 4 of them) is really good.

Head on over to Surfguitar 101 to hear their latest podcast, number 15, and all the previous ones

For surf comps on CD, check out Double Crown's The Continental Magazine it comes with a free great comp of current bands every issue

And Deep Eddy Records puts out great comps too

it's not a podcast but here is my bands recordings. Thee Swank Bastards 5 records every record sounds different, hope you enjoy.

I loved The Panasonics release, real party music. Track Listing

That's funny. Now , I get it.  I've got one of his CDs....It's nothing like The Billy Childish retreads I feared it might be.... Alopecia and baldness are not necc. the same thing , tho'. With the former , you lose ALL your hair , and many hipsters would like that , fine.

Alopecia the label is/was owned by Sir Bald Diddley, hence the association to the balding condition.

I've heard of that. My dad had Alopecia. But , it's cool. Strange name for a label , though.

The way men are shaving their chests , and their heads (Both heads) , though they are'nt balding , if you could put Alopecia in pill form , it'd sell like annoyingly large backpacks.

Well , I only say "Hard to believe" , because it's just as easy to assume they'd fall back on all the obvious , lifeless stuff . But , they did'nt. Rhino was the shit , at one time....They'd drop the ball , on occasion , but , I was still getting turned on to a lot of great stuff in the pre-CD era , thanks to Rhino , when a lot of reissue labels were still dodgy (Particularly Eva , but they were putting stuff out that no one wanted to touch...Still sounded like ass , most of teh time.).

That's not so hard to believe. Rhino was a top-notch reissuer at one point, and the CD mentioned below would have been a good surf intro, as was the vinyl-only History of Surf Music, Vol. 1. (Volume 2 was all vocals, and #3 was all contemporary bands as of 1982.)

AVI had a really good series called Rare Surf. After that label went out of business, that series went out of print. Still, grab a volume if you find it.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT , EVEN RHINO'S "LEGENDS OF ROCK GUITAR: SURF "IS REAL CHOICE.

 

BELIEVE IT OR NOT , EVEN RHINO'S "LEGENDS OF ROCK GUITAR: SURF "IS REAL CHOICE.

"WHAT SURF" 1 - 3 WAS ONE OF THE FIRST ATTEMPTS AT A SURF / PUNK / GARAGE CROSSOVER .....THERE'S AGENT ORANGE , THE PANDORAS , DAVIE ALLAN BACKED BY TEH PANDORAS , PLUS SOME OLDER STUFF , LIKE THOSE SKINHEAD STANDBYS , THE PYRAMIDS.

THERE'S A GREAT MEXICAN SURF EP ON 7". I FORGET THE TITLE , BUT , IT KILLS.

"WAIL ON THE BEACH " AND "WAX 'EM DOWN" ARE ALSO VERY GOOD (THE LATTER HAS FRANK SINATRA , JR.'s THEME TO "BEACH GIRLS AND THE MONSTER" .).

THE 3 VOLUME "LEGENDS OF SURF GUITAR" SERIES IS INDISPENSIBLE , AS IS "SURF LEGENDS AND RUMORS " , ONE OF THE FIRST CDs I EVER BOUGHT.

Also, Strummin' Mental, carried by Crypt is really cool. I think I had v.3, and just about every track rocked.

Australian group the Hitmen did a great cover of King of the Surf w/ Johnny Kannis...

I'd say check out the "Surf Creature" comps, the "Diggin' Out" comp and the "Strictly Instrumental" comps. All really good stuff.

Thanks guys. That Twin Scrambler's track is ace. I did some rummaging about myself and found this one by Born Losers  http://youtu.be/qurQbOMukzY

I don't know about podcasts, but I can point you towards some records:

"Dickheads" compilation of garage surf bands covering Dick Dale songs

"Locked In To Surf" on UK label Alopecia has at least 4 volumes of great trashy instro surf

"Think Link" Vol 1 & 2 is all Link Wray covers from garage & surf bands

There's a lot of stuff on YouTube too, if you just need a quick fix.

......You could try this guy......I think he's pretty cool.....

I suggested he join the Hideout....don't know if he did.....

It's still here... it's just that nobody has submitted a new episode in quite a while:
