Hello, my name is Scott, and I....I....I've recently starting listening to....surf music.
There, I've said it.
OK, I mean, I won't just listen to any old surf music that you buy from some guy down at the corner. No, it has to be good quality stuff. Some of it is creative, fun, mysterious and intense. And what's more, when you're really burned out by words (as many of us on here may be at the moment), something loud and completely instrumental goes down well.
I was too much of a geek to be a surfer in high school, and besides, by then the surfers were listening to punk and the Violent Femmes--or Van Halen. So I don't know where this came from, but it's enjoyable.
Here's my favorite
surf-ish band and CD so far, and a live video
