So what off hand, ended the Surf Music craze of the 50's and 60's?

???

Just curious, off hand.

Surf Music was effectively ended by the arrival of the British Invasion from 1964.

Which sucks, because surf music makes me want to STOMP ON THE GAS.

I wouldn't really say the arrival of the British Invasion ended the Surf Music craze. The Beach Boys "Fun, Fun, Fun" was at #5 at a time when only Beatles songs were higher. They had two more chart toppers plus Barbara Ann in early 1966. The Riviera's California Sun and Ronnie and the Daytona's GTO plus Jan & Dean's The Little Old Lady From Pasadena and Dead Man's Curve were big hits in 1964 and early 1965. I feel that the lame, low-budget beach movies and the arrival of psychedelic culture in 1966 ended Surf Music (as you can see with The Ventures and the Beach Boys with Good Vibrations).

Dick Dale - The Wedge (1963)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye9hRN9T51w

We called it wimp rock, or rich kid rock.  It was okay, but evoked a time and place for a summer, then it was over.

Yeah, whatever. Dick Dale could (and, at 75 years old, still can) shred.

Surf music was great music. Loved it. Beach Boys are amongst the best bands ever and If Brian Wilson didn't lose it (drugs...whatever) I think they could have made more albums, maybe rival Pet Sounds. Brian was a musical genius. Mike Love and others took it in a different direction after Brian left.

If The British invasion did end surf music, then that's sad because I think the 2 styles could have gone on together. 
Even though I prefer the Bristish Invasion music to surf music, surf music was still great, and more or less  like Al said , IT MAKES MY CAR GO FASTER!!!

I have a question - do you think a synthesized version of 'Wipeout' by The Surfaris would be cool?

Why, the original will suffice.

Just thought it was a rude answer, I wish she could have given a better explanation as to why it was a bad idea.

Looks like it's already been done. I knew it was too brilliant an idea not to be thought of.

How was that rude? You asked a question, I gave an answer. Just because you thought I should have given a more indepth doesn't mean that it was rude. What was rude, was giving me a fudge for no good reason!

My experience  with belmont has been he prefers answers that align with his thoughts

You could've said. No. Synthesizers were the west tithing to happen to music band I hate anything that doesn't sound pure...and you'd still get fudged.

There was a rap version of 'Wipeout' in the late 80s

I listened to it.  It honestly made my teeth hurt. Like it went from my ears right into my fillings.

Also. The drums are my favorite part if the original recording and I just don't the synthesized version was nearly as powerful.

Usually. If not he will try and convince you. It's very irritating.

I fudged I didn't punch someone in the face. I didn't approve of the answer because it sounded snappy and rude, but I don't really care that much.  ;D

And I think the original and the cover are cool.  8)

Fudge is the Internet equivalent...
What did she do to you. She doesn't like synthesized music - that much could be inferred by her use of ! After typing No.

It's her opinion. You want others to let you have your opinion why would you deny her the same right?

No I meant I don't care that much that she gave a snappy & judgmental answer. If she said "No, it's a classic and doesn't need to be redone" that would be fine, but I can tell when a post is passive-aggressive. I bet if you said the same thing I did, she would have given a more positive response. If she was just being honest and not trying to make me feel like a fool for even suggesting such a thing, I'm sorry if I hurt her feelings.

As far as the fudge. I don't think fudging someone is a big deal, to me it's no different from thumbing someone down on a news story comment. All it means is you dislike or disagree with a post or comment. But I'm sorry if I hurt her feelings, but I doubt I did, I think people here just don't like me for some reason and this is all a way to guilt trip me for something that's not a big deal at all.

No. Fudge is the equivalent of telling someone "I really don't like that post". When I post something on the Internet, and it gets a thumb down, my heart sinks a bit for like three nanoseconds, but it's no skin off my back.

I don't know why everyone has to keep piling on  belmont. Sure he may have fudged Cat but he also turned around and apologized to her right away.

I mean yeah, he might get a little thread-happy at times but I've never seen him act sh!tty towards anyone.

I know cat. We have been posting together for many years. I don't care if Chucky himself asked the question her response would've been exactly the same. Stop taking everyone's posts so personally. 

Cat is one of the least passive aggressive people here. In fact- except in the politics threads- she tries to avoid confrontation. 

Some people take karma and fudges more seriously than u and I do. Generally - on these boards the interpretation is that you are fudging/karmaing the person. Not the statement they made.

The Internet and the boards are not the same. As I stated in a previous post here karma's and fudges reach a little deeper.

I have nothing against Cat as a human being, I don't know her. I'm sure in general she's very sweet and non-passive aggressive.

A I just want to be sure he's aware cat had no malicious intent in her reply. It bugs me to think he does think that.

I admit im not a fan of Belmont. I am trying to stay away from confrontational topics but I will defend a friends honor

It sounded passive-aggressive to me but maybe I'm wrong, after all there are no facial expressions here?

Just wanted to make sure you knew it wasnt I can assure there are many examples of her posting similarly in other threads.

I implore you. Check out old threads. Get to know us...learn posting styles. It may help. Plus there are some really awesome convos that have previously taken place. Others not so awesome but I'm sure some of those are topics you will find interesting.

C'mon al we aren't piling on him, he'd said several (what I consider) rude and arrogant things in other posts, I let it go.  But fudging cat for no reason is not right. It's good he apologized, but then he calls her passive aggressive, and again....oy.....
Many if his decadeology posts are annoying and irritating, but he also makes good posts too (Berlin wall, where did you travel to, and more etc...)

She didn't accept my apology anyway.

She didn't accept my apology anyway.


Maybe she did, you don't know.
Maybe one of the reasons she might not have is because, after you apologized, you wrote this


No I meant I don't care that much that she gave a snappy & judgmental answer. If she said "No, it's a classic and doesn't need to be redone" that would be fine, but I can tell when a post is passive-aggressive.


If that were written to me after an apology, I would not be thrilled. I dunno for sure, just sayin...

She wouldn't have accepted it anyways.

What reason?

What reason?


Because I can tell she doesn't like me and would be too proud to accept an apology from someone she doesn't like.

Would you accept an apology from someone who annoys you? No, probably not, right?

Because I can tell she doesn't like me and would be too proud to accept an apology from someone she doesn't like.


Now you are playing the role of the "poor me, poor me, have pity on me" victim.

Now you are playing the role of the "poor me, poor me, have pity on me" victim.


I'm just speaking the truth.

STOP

Because I can tell she doesn't like me and would be too proud to accept an apology from someone she doesn't like.



What makes you think she doesn't like you.  From what I can tell she's never posted anything about you or posted negatively in any of your threads? 

And warped's right. It came across as a backhanded apology

How was that rude? You asked a question, I gave an answer. Just because you thought I should have given a more indepth doesn't mean that it was rude. What was rude, was giving me a fudge for no good reason!


Cat


I would have given the exact same answer that Cat gave.  A synthesizer would go against everything surf music stands for.  ::)

And I'm smiting you for smiting Cat.  That was bogus.

Sure was...about as far away from the spiritual home of surfing as you could imagine!

The group were in summer season in Great Yarmouth when the tune was ready for recording, so they had to drive down to London after a show, record the song, then drive straight back to Yarmouth for their next performance!

I'm sorry, I took something and made it go way out of proportion. In fact it wasn't even a something, it was a nothing.

Because I can tell she doesn't like me and would be too proud to accept an apology from someone she doesn't like.



You are so right that you don't know me. If you did, you wouldn't have considered my original post rude. With all the adjectives used to describe me, I really don't think that rude would be one of them. As for being too proud, again you don't know me. I will accept your apology but I suggest that in the future, you think good and hard when you fudge someone-not just me but ANYONE on this board.

Al is right, it is time to stop. I apologize to everyone for this getting out of hand. And thank you to everyone who stood up for me. I do appreciate it.

In the 1987 movie 'Back to the Beach', Pee-Wee Herman sings a version of this.  His version was released as a single and it was a Top 40 hit in Canada.  I've searched high and low to see where else it was a hit, and I did not find anything lol
