Happy Times "Twang-O-Matic" 2008

Rock is reborn! Happy Times produce very well arranged and written psychedelic surf based music with a magnetic sound and liquid fury. Their Finish roots reinterpret the surf genre in wonderful, compelling ways. Rich, lush arranging and production takes this into the upper reaches of listenability. Recommended! - Phil Dirttrax:
01 Lo-Fi Spy 02 Last Bullet 03 Hypnosonic 04 Lost Fiction 05 Full Gravity 06 Jack Carters Theme 07 Funeral In Berlin 08 All Quiet 09 Quantum Of Solace 10 Our Man In Cuba 11 Viva Laika 12 Taranaki Steam Surfers 13 Mission Possible 14 One For Danny 15 Crosstown Traffic 16 Bells Of Konevitsa

@RYP: Thanks for the Happy Times. Looks like they are trying to put a new spin on surf music.
@ Stinky: Haven't d/l'd any of these yet, but this one looked too varied and interesting to pass up. Thanks.

Backup-Drive Overflow: Blues/Gospel/Folk - Load Eight, 1950s leftovers:

This is one, big, single zipped file (~1.76 GB) of 337 miscellaneous 1950s tracks, mostly Blues/Gospel, by various artists; most are at 320 Kbps... and too many to list separately. Treat it like a bulging grab bag, or one of Monty's even-more-awesome mystery boxes... and enjoy.

Tomorrow we step back into the 1940s; please have your zoot suit pressed and ready. Thank you.

Cheers!

@MuddyW: you are awesome, AND perceptive - that's what I had in mind. You leave the banquet hall, dabbing your lips... and... there's the buffet table. Okay; may as well fill the plate with a bit o' this, bit o' that, and let the belt out a bit, before hitting the road.

These were too scattered to collect, and just too good to toss before handing them out. I'm glad they found a happy home!

Cheers!
