Leisure Birds “Burn the Beach”

Got another beachy vibe for ya. As I’ve stated before I’m a huge fan of surf rock jammers. This is up there with some of my favorite. It’s the only song I have ever heard from the band and I don’t know much about them. I found this song on a sampler/compilation mixtape back in the mid 2000’s and it has remained on my playlists ever since. It’s a quick and fast dancy sort of song that makes you feel like running through sand dunes and basking in the sun. Pretty fun groove. I always told myself I would use it as a skate video song if I ever had a part. Hopefully someday that could happen. We’ll see! Unfortunately I was unable to find the song on YouTube. But here is the Spotify link...it's also available on Apple Music. https://open.spotify.com/track/3hBvyfNLlczMIj8DC5uaBc

Jr. Walker & the All Stars "Shotgun"

Sometimes the old jams just can't be beat. When they come on I just can't help but dance along and be in a good mood. This one from Jr. Walker and the All Stars is one of my favorites. I first heard this song in the Circa Shoes skate video, " It's Time ".  It was Adrien Lopez's song for his part. I was immediately stoked on the song and had to get it however I could. 10 years later and it still remains on playlists that I create. In fact, in that same video is a song by Sam and Dave called "Hold On" in Windsor James' part ; another great old classic jam.  From that loud shotgun sound (which is supposedly an amp being kicked) and the moment that dirty saxophone hits you know it's a groover. "Shotgun" is actually a dance and it's hard not to be compelled to dance to this thing.

The Men "Shittin' With the Shah"

One of my favorite albums is "Leave Home" by The Men. It was a slow building relationship. But the mystery and rawness of it kept me comin' back and appreciating more and more of it over time. It's definitely a hard record to like at first listen. After they recorded it they themselves found it a bit much. But that's exactly why I love it. One after another are these pounding rock anthems that are shoved down your throat. " L.A.D.O.C.H " is almost unlistenable. It's so fuckin ridiculous it makes me laugh. But the band knows its funny and raw. Following the rock adventure of " Bataille " comes the album relief. Up unto this point you've been screamed at and pulverized with no remorse for six songs. But here is a breath of fresh air... "Shittin' With The Shah", one of the best song titles ever. There is calm. It's a bit sullen and feels like a moment of guilty reflection. Almost as if exhausted from a long, gruel...
