**toesonnose** · 10-16-04 11:52 PM

storm by saliva!

**SoupMonKey** · 10-17-04 07:41 PM

Anything from TOOL to CSN&Y.....

Larger days call for something like "Hooker With A *bleep*", while smaller, more mellow days may be a call for "Just A Song Before I Go."

But radio days are usually KTYD (99.9), The Octopus (95.9) or KLOS (95.5). All classic rock stations.

I love gittin' it kicked up before the go-out! Here's a few of the latest things I'm list'nin to before the storm.

Filter..all the heavier songs
Velvet Revolver
Last Janes Addiction
Walt Mink
Cheap Trick..Live (one of the best live albums of all time.)

I'm gonna go get the new U2 cd today. Hope it's good.

Best pre-surf song for me is One Way Out…Allman Brothers. Also good pre-surf, John McLaughlin, Al di Meola, Paco de Lucia live in San Francisco…Ramones…or Linkin Park.

Post surf – Coldplay…Yes….Coltrane….or Stan Getz.

For me it depends upon the surf if its mellow than somthing like "Jack Jonson" or that "Live Acoustic Roots" but if its crankin than "Linkin Park" or "50 Cent" whatever rocks my boat at that time

**OBsurfgirl** · 10-18-04 10:02 PM

RED , I think we are twins from another planet! I lerve that song

Pretty much any Dead song will get me going, though Eyes of the World is a very nice early morning tune, as is Uncle John's Band. Anything Allmans, Dead, etc. is good for me

**Awe F'shore** · 10-18-04 11:29 PM

This is a tough one to pick since there are just so many moods and songs to go with them or create them or enhance them or... well ya know!

Always some Jimi Hendrix - Axis Bold as Love, Burning desire, Tax Free; Rory Gallagher - Crest of a Wave, Bad Penny; Rob Zombie on those heavier winter days on the shortboard, Van Morrison for some cruisin mellow, Avenged Sevenfold for some more slash & burn on the shortie, Joe Satriani can cover any surf mood that exists.

I've been gettin' into some old stuff lately - Monterey Jazz Pop Festival '68, some Humble Pie, Buffalo Springfield, Black Oak Arkansas, Jim Carrol Band, The Dead, Cream.....

ahh, the list just goes on and on...

Peace...

**SoupMonKey** · 10-18-04 11:56 PM

JIMI!!!

Is that Jimi hanging at your backyard BBQ, Awe?

**HellenOfTroy** · 10-19-04 03:19 AM

Everyone has a plethora of music they listen too...COOL!
I like any anything and everything! I am what u call ..umm electric?! (something along that line of a word tha means I like all music lol)

Red- I like Cold Play too!! the songs Yellow and Clocks, I also listen to Linkin part also! I like "Breaking the habit"

HaoleBoy- I listen to Velvet Reavolver too! :laugh: my favorite song it Falling to Pieces

Larger days call for something like "Hooker With A *bleep*",

:laugh: :laugh:

I like the bands like Switchfoot, YellowCard, Sum41 , No Dout and this one song by GreenDay it's an anti war song about bush! lol! it's so funny it says things like "I don't wanna be an american idiot" and " I don't wanna be apart of a red neck agenda!" hahaha
Other then that oldies are kool like BeachBoys and Elvis ect. I share a birthday with Elvis! Woo! (technically)

**Awe F'shore** · 10-19-04 06:52 AM

Yeah I wish that was Jimi at my place - I was about 8 years old when that pic was taken.

It's from the back cover of this bootleg album

Cool pic tho.

**Awe F'shore** · 10-19-04 06:55 AM

and this one song by GreenDay it's an anti war song about bush! lol! it's so funny it says things like "I don't wanna be an american idiot" and " I don't wanna be apart of a red neck agenda!" hahaha

Yeah, I dig that song - totally describes the state of mind(lessness) going on around us everyday.

Awe

**Red** · 10-19-04 03:02 PM

Yes OB...we were separated at birth. My favorite song of all time is Uncle John's Band.

Awe...Rory Gallager, Van Morrison, Black Oak...oh yeah...

Helen...love Coldplay's "Yellow". That's me and my little soulmates song ... isn't that cutesie

Red

**HellenOfTroy** · 10-20-04 01:54 AM

I don't think I was even born when Jimmy Hendrix was alive and kickin, haha

Awe- American idiot is awsome! It's on every mornin' when I turn on the radio..by the way who ya voting for? I am supporting John Kerry and John Edwards

Red- aww "Yellow" is you and your soulmates song? that's sweet.

**paradox** · 10-20-04 02:17 AM

Please let's not get into politics here

I don't care too much for Green Day in general. My brother had their album "dookie" and played it way too much, kind of the way the radio is playing "american idiot".

I listen to all kinds of music. Being a classically trained (opera) singer, I of course listen to classical music, however it doesn't do the job to get me pumped up for a good sesh.

So....

For big days-
Almost anything heavy, including but not limited to:

Metallica, any 80's metal, Linkin Park, etc...

For longboarding-

Eagles, Duncan Sheik, Boston, America, Dire Straits, Pink Floyd, Restless Heart, etc....

The presets on my radio are always set to Classic Rock and Jazz(not smoothe jazz/the wave) :down:

**HellenOfTroy** · 10-20-04 02:22 AM

OK sorry, :laugh: forget the polotics thing it was just random, wow I guess everyone like Linkin park here

**OBsurfgirl** · 10-20-04 02:42 AM

Friends, unless something is way out of line, I, as your humble moderator, have no issues with a mention here and there that is of a political nature. Nothing in Awe's - or anyone else's posts - is of a nature that I would define as offensive. At last check, we live in a democracy and as far as I am concerned, "freedom of speech" is fine with me, so long as we're within reason (ie: not promoting nazis or hate rhetoric).

And on a political note, those of you not from San Diego, may not be aware that Donna Frye, wife of Skip Frye, is running for Mayor of San Diego...so we might, after a verrrry long time, have a mayor who gives a crap about the environment, beaches, the condition of our oceans, etc. Very exciting stuff if we can pull it off from the other two dolts running! Fingers crossed

Hope she succeeds OB!

Helen, I'm voting for Kerry.

Just finished listening to a run of Humble Pie, Roxy Music and Talking Heads.

Lots of tunes loudly cranking in my home this week - lot's of rain and polluted ocean, so getting some long overdue house cleaning done. Not a minute too soon either, or I would have been posting a story of "The Dustball That Ate My Surfboards!" or something along that line.

It isn't that I don't enjoy political discussion or disagreement (I love to argue), it is that I go surfing and come here to get away from that. It was also a suggestion, not a command. The overall subject matter of this whole site seems to me to be about things not political (unless they affect our ocean) and the mood mellow. I like it that way.

I'm not trying to be a bum-out, that's why I began the suggestion with "please" and ended it with a

.

and about jazz....

Big band rocks, especially Menard Ferguson,
Miles Davis is king,
and all things latin work for big surf

**oceansoulsurfer** · 10-21-04 02:28 AM

Hey what do you all think about being able to listen to your music while you surf?

**OBsurfgirl** · 10-21-04 03:08 AM

Hey oceansoulsurfer...

Welcome to the Glide... No need to double post...it just get's confusing. Thank you

**toesonnose** · 10-21-04 11:45 AM

I don't think I would like that very much as it would be too distracting for me - I use all my senses when I am out there and losing one of them would severely mess me up more than I already am messed up.

Others may want/like to be able to do that though....

**Red** · 10-22-04 12:22 AM

Listen to music while you surf....I wouldn't want headphones on or anything, but if you could hear it from the shore that would be cool sometimes. Now, North Carolina...you boys can just drive your pickups onto the beach and crank it up

Peace
Red

**SoupMonKey** · 10-22-04 03:41 PM

Okay, this is what I listened to yesterday....

(and remember, at least)

On the way there:

Money - Pink Floyd
Aenima (album) - TOOL

On the way home:

Aenima (title song) - TOOL
Brown Sugar - Rolling Stones
"sunset" - creator (I turned the stereo off and just drove the last few miles enjoying the sunset and silence)
