Surf Music: 15 versions of Pipeline
Friday, March 18, 2005
Could there be any music better than Surf Music? Possibly. Maybe in some dipshit alternate universe. Whatever, today I'm posting links to 15 different versions of the classic surf anthem Pipeline. Why? Because THIS is the internet. I can do what I want.
The Chantays: The Classic Version. The Ultimate.
The Ventures: Pretty Good Version from a pretty good band.
The Stingrays: Not Bad at all, really. Classic Surf.
The Balboas: Pretty Rockin' Version. Me Likey.
The Golden Years: Japanese Punk Version.
The Muffinmates: German Surf Version. Mmmmmmm...
Agent Orange: SuperPunk Version. High Energy Music.
The Cutbacks: Another American Surf band. They surf for real.
Ambient Music Version: Like, Whatever Dude.
Greg McSulla: From The Planktones site.
The Enigmatics: Tulsa Alternative band. You be the judge.
Doctor Surf: Another German Surf Band. Nice name.
Bobby Johnson: Some guy in his garage.
The Spoilers: I dunno. A Russian surf band?
Another Unknown Band: But good, baby, real good.
UPDATE 4/11: The 16th Version
Via Espew comes the Dick Dale and Stevie Ray version which I could not seem to locate online at first. Lots of purists seem to hate this version but who gives a shit about them, eh? Enjoy.

Hullo--it's me

Long time no post, fellow blog-babies. No excuses except to say I been busy. How you been? Well I'm glad to hear that.
State of the Blogosphere lets us know that many many people have blogs or are starting blogs. Duh. I knew that when I came in here. A guy outside told me.
Do you surf through America Online? I kind of feel sorry for you if you do. The reasons vary. But here's something that will give you a clue. I just found it somewhere is all. The AOL Whiner.
If you like roots rock and early stuff including Doo-Wop, Elvis, Jerry Lee, etc., you might want to visit the Jukebox and download some .wma files. The site is a high school reunion site. Lot's of these seem to host audio files to classic stuff like this. The .ram files are undownloadable but there are plenty of others to choose from. I just copped a shitload of them today. Some of my favorites are Dale Hawkin's Susie Q and Gene Vincent's Lotta Lovin'
For you image freaks the NYPL Digital Gallery has a searchable database of images that rocks pretty hearty. They are free for use and download, though I am not exactly sure whether that means you can post them to your web pages or not.
You. Yeah, the skinny kid with the unbelievable blond afro. Find out, willya? Get back to me asap.
I'm finding loads of font sites out there. I ought to do a big post on them, and I sure will when I get organized. Meanwhile here's Fontasy, with a pretty big index of fonts. Haven't really searched it yet though. But there is a new typography blog that keeps up with all the best free font downloads, and you can find it at Fontleech.com
Okay, so this guy goes into the McDonalds in Times Square and pretends to be the new bathroom attendant. Funny.
