Best Coast


Maybe I'm just crazy, but I am so totally digging this entire album from Best Coast, a sweetly sonic indie, lo-fi chick surf pop band out of Los Angeles, California.

Check out the title track from 2010's Crazy For You. And don't blame me if you get hooked, they're the perfect background for a lazy Sunday morning, afternoon cocktail or a nice drive in the Hill Country. Awesome and in heavy rotation down here in the Tiki Room...

And dig this, just found out they'll be here in SA on March 12 at the Korova while I'm up at Southby in Austin... Shit, they've gotta be playing up there as well right before or after...


Stay tuned and M

Wet Wednesdays! Coming This Summer


Wet Wednesdays! Classic Surf Instrumentals from the early to mid 60's, fresh from vinyl and iPod ready!

Here's a little preview - an Endless Summer knock off from 1965, The Islander, by The Sunliners who eventually changed their name and became Rare Earth in 1967. They had a handful of hits in the early 70's including covers of The Temptations' "(I Know) I'm Losing You" and "Get Ready".

Migwell's Surf Selections 002


Ok y'all, here's another fresh set of some of my favorite beach vibes featuring the mellower and more quiet side of classic surfing instrumentals.

And just like our first set, these four mellow instro tracks are the perfect wind down music for the end of a hectic day or perhaps you might want to include these into your Sunday morning mix. They go great with coffee or a Sea Breeze*.

First up, from Spain, The Breeze & I by The Vibrants off of their album The Exotic Guitar Sounds Of The Vibrants on El Toro Records. Not sure of the release date on this one, sorry.

Next is Driftin' by Dave Meyer & The Surftones from, I believe, 1964. I've got this on two compilations with 2 different dates.

Dig the sexy sax on this hot little 1963 number from The Tempomen. Ring up your honey and ask her pick up some cranberry juice * and you'll meet her at Midnight On Pier 13.

And finally, an Endless Summer knock off from 1965, The Islander, by The Sunliners who eventually changed their name and became Rare Earth in 1967. They had a handful of hits in the early 70's including covers of The Temptations' "(I Know) I'm Losing You" and "Get Ready".

Enjoy and thanks for listening.

Migwell's Surf Selections 001


Here's the premier set of some of my favorite relaxing beach vibes featuring the mellower and more quiet side of classic surfing instrumentals.

I think you'll find these first three gems, and those soon to follow, to be the perfect wind down music for the end of a hectic day or perhaps you might want to include these into your Sunday morning mix.

Or maybe you might want to throw these on during your next sunset drive. Better yet, why not enjoy these with a cold one out by the pool? The choice, as always, is up to you.

Either way, I hope you enjoy the music.

First up is Corona Del Mar by Los Coronas from their 1995 self titled LP from Tritone Records.

Next is Wild as the Sea by The Sandals off of the 1964 soundtrack of Bruce Brown's Endless Summer.

And finally, from the Surf Trio, Las Luchadoras from Curse of the Surf Trio on Pin-Up Records, 1995.

Lots more to come, ©Stay Tuned Y'all!
