Sorry on the hot pink bowling pants, homie, but I'm wearing them as we speak.
Her car was not found, no; but happily, I found that guitar chord I thought I'd left in her trunk, thoughtful of you to remember/ask about that detail. $40 chord!

I'm pretty sure bands like the Femmes and the B-52s sounded exactly what they wanted to sound like.
I'm sure you are correct. I am also sure that I am correct.
The Cramps would be another example of a band consciously integrating surf into punk (via their cover of Surfin' Bird and elsewhere). Lux and Ivy of the Cramps were
hardcore fans and rock theorists and as with the bands you mentioned, their resultant sound was no accident but rather the result of high calculation as well as a true love
for trashy pop culture.
Thank you Huffington Post for your skewed revisionist history.
To read that article (which I did) you'd think Dick Dale personally invented Punk Rock. The term "Punk Rock" wasn't even coined until the 70s.
If you'd been around in Dale's heyday (I was) and mentioned the term Punk Rock, people would have looked at you like you were daft. Because nobody had ever heard of that term back then.
According to this Wiki definition, although in the sidebar it mentions surf music as an influence (amongst several other genres), there is very little of anything in the text that highlights surf music
as a MAJOR influence at all on the general movement.

I wish we could still buy guitar cords as cheap as $40. Must be really short. Is it a tube amp cable or a solid state cable? Since I used to mix cables of different lengths in my signal chain, how naive.
Yeah it isn't a 50 foot chord or anything, which is to say, I don't think my sister could have bound the body with it or anything -- but it is certainly long enough to be an implement of murder if you know what you're doing, heck, look at the game Clue, they kill with a candlestick in that... But needless to say, when I first hear the accusations against sis, I have to admit my initial thought was my missing guitar chord, and could she have, you know, choked him with it?

I went to an SWR company party some 20 years ago and a band of surf-heavy guitarists, a trio, performed as a party highlight.
They were silver-haired devils even then so I am not sure if they are still around, but they were terrific and won me around to the beauty of
surf because they made it sound so utterly sweet and melodious. Nothing like that live chime of amps. Heaven!

Since you found the cable, I have to side with the D.A. and the hair pin theory, his eye was punctured after all. I'm not saying she did it, I still maintain her innocence. Likely he just fell on the hair pin just right, and then broke those ribs while thrashing about on the ground while she was looking for help. I'm surprised he lived, however disfigured.
A single chord worth $40? That must be exceptionaly hard to play! Like tying your fingers in a pretzel shape hard!
I mean, most gigs I've played each member was lucky to bring home $50. He must play that chord only one time and drone on it for a whole song.
I have heard people call Johnny Cash "punk rock", as well as the Kinks, which is all revisionist as well.
About the most you say for it is that Cash may have displayed a don't-give-a-F attitude which punks later admire, and that the Kinks sang hard rock songs with a cockney accent, and of course Dick Dale's style influenced later punk musicians.
I can't comment directly on lawyers advice. But feel free to imagine me nodding vigorously. Through tears, of course. In the pink pantaloons you covet - burn!
Oooh, now you're rubbing it in. Can you send me some pics on you wearing them then?I can't comment directly on lawyers advice. But feel free to imagine me nodding vigorously. Through tears, of course. In the pink pantaloons you covet - burn!
Back in the early 60s, Dick Dale and his Deltones would play at the Rendezvous Ballroom in Balboa, Ca. The music was very fast, loud, and would get thousands of young people worked up into a frenzy. Not unlike punk.
Although Dick Dale did covers of Hava Nagila, Miserlou, and other Middle Eastern influenced tunes, many of his other songs were structured around I-IV-V chord progressions, including uptempo 4/4 time signatures. So yeah, I can see the similarities between Surf and punk.
Not to be overlooked, is the fact that Agent Oranges rhythym section of Drummer Dusty Watson and Bassist Sam Bolle has also backed Dick Dale, as well as Guitarist Dave Wronski forming the band Slacktone.
Maybe someone should ask Watson and Bolle if THEY think there are any similarities between Surf and Punk.
