Los Monstruos

Killer mid-60's beat surf jam by Los Monstruos titled "Hey Monstruo." This is coming just in time for Halloween, play this at your shindig and get everybody dancing to this old piece of Guadalajara garage. Heavy beat, chanting Spanish lyrics, and a fuzzy surf guitar from hell...

Furlo Obscuro Vol. 2

The Plastics

Japan's The Plastics with "Top Secret Man" off the album Welcome Plastics from '79. The Plastics are often compared to B-52's and Talking Heads, they are credited with helping create the famous J-pop sound in the early 80's. One of the band members apparently slipped David Byrne a Plastics demo which led to the manager of the B-52's representing them internationally. I describe this band as the Devo of Japan due to their eccentric style and synth, surf induced freak-outs and social satirizing lyrics. Check out their classic SCTV video here.

The Ventures

One of the best instrumental albums around, the '64 space-surf classic by the Ventures called The Ventures In Space. Hard to pick my favorites, so here's five grooves you'll surely like. Just also learned these natives of Tacoma, Washington are the biggest selling instrumental band of all time with over 100 million records sold. This is no surprise considering their major influences on rock n' roll over the years. Here's the order: "Penetration," "Out of Limits," "He Never Came Back," "Solar Race," and the "Fourth Dimension." Thanks to the Wyld Chyld for introducing this album to me, it's now my favorite Ventures release. Enjoy.

Gobble Gobble

Tryptophan has kicked in, so I'll keep this post short. When I was cooking earlier today, I was listening so some old surf and funk 45's. I've included two tracks, a great spacey surf joint titled "Interplanetaire" by the Les Talismans and a killer funk instrumental "A Day In the Life" by Chocolate Snow. Hope everyone had a good turkey day, don't shit your pants.
