Aqualads-Surf, Surf, Surf

All right, all right, enough political blogging. It is March Madness time! Now I don't follow college basketball at all but I do love gambling so I certainly have a soft spot in my heart for March Madness. I missed one game so far in my "bracket" and I will keep you updated.

When listening to my surf music today it struck me that surf music is the only kind of Rock Music that regularly instrumental. Oh sure there are some exceptions to that rule, but not many. That is perhaps one thing about Surf that is so endearing, and also timeless. Modern Surf can sound exactly like classic surf. Take for example Aqualads. The Aqualads site says "The Aqualads are a traditional Surf combo from North Carolina with a trashy Wet Surf/Spy/HotRod sound." and I agree. Aqualads rock and I would love to see them some time. 7.5 out of 9.1!!!!

So weird. I had to refresh this page because the word I had to identify had like 4 characters in it that could have been 'a' or 'q' or 'g'. Maybe I'm a robot in fact. Anyhow, I was going to say, and excuse me for posting a comment to every goddamn post, I'm surely abusing your hospitality, but this is the only blog I read daily-ish and I am your only reader, near as I can tell, so why not? And in fact, when I started writing this comment I thought I had something intelligent to say about surf music, which I guess I don't, but it does rock. Didjya hear that Ventures Live in Japan 66 CD I used to have? Still do! And it's so super awesome. I do not know these Aqualads but am intrigued now. Now I'll shut up. Unless you post again today.
