So Stu speaking of on edge hows your edge board?
stunet, 1565593146
Board got ridden. Board got shelved. But board didn't stop getting thought about.
I brought it back out about a month ago, put different fins in it, and I've been riding it almost exclusively during this last month of swell.
Got a lot to say about it but I'll save it for an upcoming article.

Like that tune. Some Radiohead in there.
p-funk, 1565594527
Nothing wrong with Jack McCoy's use of INXS in the Green Iguana/Sik Joy era either. Heaven Scent still gets me thinking of Occ's Hawaiian backside blasts.
Generous serves of The Cruel Sea used by Brian Bleak also in the Quiky classics 110/240 and Surfers of Fortune.
PK and the 90's search films rings a bell also?
More of this please.

.it might seem a small thing..but Dick Dale didn't event surf guitar..it was Link Ray with "Rumble"; which was released in 1958, with Dick Dale's self-proclaimed "King of the Surf Guitar" 2 + years later.

Dan Rumour and the Drift have a whole album dedicated to that iconic 'surf guitar' sound.

The Warumpi Band and Jack McCoy movies stoke me out every time. Surf Hits- Jungle Jet Set is a classic.
Westofthelake, 1565663934
Too right!
"In 1987, Gang Gajang's music was featured exclusively in the Quiksilver surf movie Mad Wax. The film became a cult surf classic and introduced the band to a worldwide audience: Gang Gajang was named 'World's Best Band' two years in a row by the Association of Surfing Professionals."

The soundtrack to "Self Discovery For Social Survival" is pretty good. I believe the songs may have been made on location for each section too? I still haven't seen the movie but the soundtrack has been on heavy rotation on my Spotify
truebluebasher, 1565666189
radiationrules raises a good point...
tbb punked out to both concerts... Link Wray (Dog House) & Dick Dale (Playroom)
This list below only highlights those that got a break not the 95% of innovators.
tbb has collated GC music & less than 0.5% of pre-1970's bands/sound are on-line.
GC surf songs & lingo can be traced back to Surf Rafterz of 1840-60's. (No Guitars)
1958- Link Wray...Rumble (Twang verges on Surf Guitar?)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucTg6rZJCu4
1960 - The Gamblers ...Moon dawg! (1st 'Surf Instrumental' & still the best )
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06TNaYFg19c
1961/62- Dick Dale (King) -'Let's Go Trippin' (1st Surf/Guitar LP -'Surfer's Choice')
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=py9tKC5hmFM
1963- Link Wray- 'Jack The Ripper' (1st Surf/Punk tune & still the best) #1 Innovator!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExsrSCeplXk
1978- Live Jap' overdrive version is outrageous.
In this version Link tributes distortion to Gambler's "Moon Dawg!" (Listen Closely!)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8wO1EplWww
1973 Cloured Balls GOD (Guitar Over drive) (Live @ Sunbury) ('Ripper'-wind down)

Speaking of links, here's one to an SBS doco called Rumble - the American Indians who rocked the world. Featuring Link Ray.

Thanx philosurphizing for the link-up to Link.
1996 Link tour to Oz was wild despite 50-100 punters @ Goldie Gig.
tbb went to buy a T Shirt & had to wait cause Link himself was selling them.
He thought it a bid odd that someone wanted one...had his own 'Arrow' Logo.
Both Link Wray & Dick Dales Gigs only ever got them to the next town.
tbb can vouch that only core fans rocked up...Legends ahead of their time.
Above - "Rumble"- Link stabbed the speaker cone to recreate "Rumble" sound.
Instrumental was banned as the sound imitated a gang Rumble. (Inciting violence)
1961/63 'Jack the Ripper' released in 1961 ? ...(20 yrs ahead of time.) re: Cramps
radiationrules, 1565687297
TTB > many thanks > that link took me on a journey. I might be biased but Link Wray's slash-and-pause for the reverb, sounds so precise, fuzzy and contemporary.
I don't recall hearing Dave Allen "Blues Theme" before - what a cracker.
I saw Dick Dale live in London about 3 months after Pulp Fiction became a cult film - 1992? He had screens running either side, above the Marshall Double Stacks, with vintage disney cartoons on one screen and vintage porno's on the other? It made it quite difficult to concentrate on his music. His guitar playing was sublime BTW

truebluebasher, 1565703529
Great stuff crew...tbb equally punked out to Turnbuckles ...fantastic..
Even had a good mate in that band Shh! Top Secret! Can't blow his cover.
Jan 1964 Beach Boys played Bne > S Paradise I believe
June 2010 Beach Boys played Surfers Paradise for 2nd time.

Had to Play or Die ($3,000 mth for colostomy bags +meds).(Pain on his face is real!)
Says bag got in the way of guitar even burst & drenched his trousers on stage..
The bloke was a walking corpse even booked out a year in advance on his death bed.
So yeah! Sometimes a TV Part/Duo ...Back to the Beach...(Reckons it saved him)
Dick Dale & Stevie Ray Vaughan...'Pipeline' (Bit of Fun! Sounds to good to be true!)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsNFwzPM0HI
When tbb saw him he'd make eye contact & ramped it up as you wish..the real deal!
tbb's fav 1960's surf track hails from Quebec..that's not the weird bit!
Les Talismans..'.I 'interplanetaire' (Porpoise song..Echolocation Clicks)
Tune is beyond our realm just reimagine tbb's unfathomobile...he's half asleep!

As tbb was saying you just never know where next even better surf song is found.
Bring it on!

mattlock, 1565741468
Link Wray[RIP] rocks. I'm surprised no one has mentioned The Break. Modern take on Atlantics style surf music played by consumate professionals. The songs on one of their albums are mostly named after surf breaks.
mattlock, 1565741734
Also check out the Delightful Rain album. An excellent mix of surf inspired tunes by various artists. Special mention for The Angry Tradesmen with "Big Wave".

Although laden with seppo driven commentary and promo the Billabong Surf Into Summer and onwards (PUMP, Filthy Habits etc.) were favourites with Bill Lincoln and his surf guitar, The Abecedarians, Agent Orange, la la la... Great soundtracks to some solid mostly Aussie surfing. Loved it.

Bugger the music - its the icy pole sticks, that this article is really about :))
truebluebasher, 1565758780
( /////-SURF SIDE 6 -//// ) Icy Pole Stick is the real one.
They mixed up the stick colours & placement for each copy.
eg: tbb's copy has the Blue Lemonade Stick stuck on corresponding Blue Stick.
I agree it works & stacks well as mine has held on since 1981 not even loose.
Bastards probably used real icy pop slobber as the glue.
Just gave mine a lick...still has it's flavour....
Chook can go suck on a Pineapple!

I honestly don’t know why you bother tbb. No one but you knows what you’re on about. I reckon I can decipher about 5% of each of your comments and those are the bits where you’re talking about yourself in the 3rd person.
truebluebasher, 1565813792
See: Mount Warning - The 'Cloud Catcher' of the Bundjalung 'Rainbow Region'.
That is the location of featured Surf Flick.
See: Countless Surfboards rest on the 'Barbed Wire perimeter fencing'.(a real lot)
See: Many folk in Hazmat Suits of Masks & gloves...Don't look like farmers?
These outfits when associated with farms resemble Vegans- re: 'Dominion Movie'.
Invasions play out in the News in this part of the world. Nothing to fear! We hope!
See: Boards on bins or stacked in Green Limo...presumably a breakout of sorts.
Listen: As the song hook keeps going on about about smoking in cars...(yep!)
tbb was merely suggesting that local Transit (Nimbin) Warn of said danger.
Think twice before smoking a (Nimbin Ciggie) in a car load of fuel.(Boards)Kaboom!
Pretty certain that's a true blue bash (real deal) of what went down....nothin' suss!
Lived here all my life & don't recall any other locals making any more or less sense!
If you think that I know what I'm on about, then my psychiatrist is wasting his time. [Disclaimer] Yes tbb has discussed changing meds! No! I wouldn't joke about that!
PS:
swellnet treat mental illness sufferers with dignity so it's no bother to them or us.

Talk about an Aussie surfer/singer/songwriter with a ball tearing guitar groove and set of pipes to match Ash Grunwald deserves a guernsey. Port Campbell is best surf ballad since MOTE.
Aside from Garret’s recent past forays the Oils were a huge aussie surf band in the day.
Fk yeah saw the Cramps at the Playroom what a night at least the bits remembered.
Great thread inspired me to meta morph from voyeur to contributor. Cheers all
