Back after a week at the beach, so naturally had a headful of songs of surf, sea and sand. So much sand. 

It began by law with The Beach Boys but also included two from the Ramones, selections from Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, early Carole King, Patti Smith, Surf Punks. Yo La Tengo, Annette Funicello, Wolf Alice and The Wavves. 

Reserved some time to mark the birthday of Miracles guitarist and sometime Motown songwriter Marv Tarplin and set the stage for tour kickoff of John Doe. And there were only two major technical malfunctions! 

Here’s the link to the whole show. The playlist follows.
