IT'S MONSTER SURFING TIME

There are those little things that make life worth living, things that make you want to drop down onto your knees and thanks your lucky stars that you're alive. Things like knowing that there's an actual '60s rock record called "It's Monster Surfing Time."

Ah, yes, how I love early rock -
think Coldplay could come up with a title that cool? Monsters, surfing, that's all you need to rock 'n' roll. It's been kinda awful lately here in southern California, so let's celebrate Halloween with one of Los Angeles' great gifts to the world, surf music, and listen to all the greatest songs ever recorded with both "monster" and "surf" in the title.

Deadly Ones - It's Monster Surfing Time
Gene Moss And The Monsters - Surf Monster
The Phantom Surfers - Monster From The Surf
Sex With Lurch - Monster Surf Party
Don Hinson & The Rigamorticians - Monster Surf Stomp
The Abominable Surfmen - Monster Surfer

I love the first song: "It's mons... I hadn't heard the original version from the deadly ones, it sounds more interesting than the cover made for "Los pelegrinos negros" however, this last one is called "El monster surfin' time" and has a cool solo, the song is compiled in the album MOnster party 2000.

-I love surf music because surf music rocks!if you like strange music with monsters and mystery as main background you should listen to messer chups a cool band from europe


cheers from the southern hemisphere!
