Oh the things we can find when we're surfing Napster Premium, here's a tribute album I didn't even know existed: Jesus Christ, Surferstar. Surf bands from around the world doing the album. With the HUGE success of Good Vibrations, this could be the next revival on Broadway.
The instrumental version of the title song is spectacular... think more Dick Dale than Mike Love and you have the excellent idea.

Posted: 2/24/06 at 10:28pmI realize it’s been a year since Namo started this thread, but I just came across this album on iTunes. This groovy little cover of “The Last Supper” is rockin’ my world (and who knew “I Don’t Know How to Love Him” could sound so…happy?).

Posted: 2/24/06 at 10:46pmHoly crap, it HAS been a year! Good for you for proving that a fella doesn't have to bump his own threads to get attention. He just has to be reallllly patient.

Posted: 2/24/06 at 11:02pmI’m surprised no one commented on this thread the first go-round...that genius album cover of JC surfing should have elicited some sort of response.

It might be a lack of sleep talkin', but I'm tempted to send in my $22.00. Kind of takes me back to the days of Jan and Dean. Why, it's almost a religious experience.
I got hooked on their version of Hosanna.

"I am open, and I am willing,
For to be hopeless would seem so strange.
It dishonors those who go before us,
So lift me up to the light of change."

Posted: 2/25/06 at 9:34amOh gosh... given I am named after a Beach Boy's song I may just have to investigate.
"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."

Thank you, thank you! I try!
BTW...the sound clips for this album are a hoot! Although, I think "Superstar" sounds more like "Boogie Nights" than "Surfin' Safari"..
