Ended Monday and welcomed Tuesday after a swim with The Shadow of Your Smile the debut album by the American band Friends of Dean Martinez, released in 1995. The band included members of two Arizona bands: Joey Burns and John Convertino, of Giant Sand, and Bill Elm, Tom Larkins, and Van Christian, of Naked Prey. The band changed their name from Friends of Dean Martin right before the album's release, after threat of legal action by Martin's representatives.

Trouser Press wrote that "a lot of main writer Burns' originals have the jivey cool of an Angelo Badalamenti score, but the group's most potent and useful ability is to conjure up romantic visions of the desert at twilight." - Wikipedia

Nightmare Twang, by Mick Beaulieu

10 track album

Mick Beaulieu
The Cleopatras aus der Toskana/Italien auf der Rock'n'Roll Butterfahrt 17.0 auf der Helgoländer Düne.

Bestes Wetter und dazu geilen 60ties Surfsound von 4 mega sympathischen Italienerinnen. Die Band war mir völlig unbekannt aber das war richtig richtig gut. Geheimtipp.

Bandcamp Friday Roundup: May 2026

Today is Bandcamp Friday, which means bandcamp is taking no commission on sales on their site, so most of your money goes to the artist. Paypal, of course, still takes a cut. Sometimes in the past I've done Bandcamp roundups where I write a bunch of rapid-fire reviews as suggestions of new things you can buy. But lately I've started doing my Storm Surge Splashes which have kind of been doing the same thing just not on Bandcamp fridays. That said, I haven't been able to keep up with those in the past few weeks. In fact, most of the reviews you see here started as a Storm Surge Splash. Anyway, basically what I'm saying is you can find even more recommendations in those. But for now, here's some new fun things that have come out.

Storm Surge of Reverb

To some people surf music all sounds like the same song played over and over. But it's the best song.

Perhaps surf music, being rare, should be nationally protected and featured in zoos
