Easiest way to tell that the world is still run badly is that there are people out there who don't think novelty surf is the pinnacle of human sublimity. If by chance you need to be convinced, Weirdos records are the records to do it. Surf spoofs by the fellas who made the not-so-spoofy tunes hits to begin with: Gary Usher, Hal Blaine, Darlene Love, Glen Campbell, Jerry Cole, Leon Russell, Steve Douglas, etc. Usher was beloved by Capitol for his ability to churn stuff out quickly, but he's clearly taking all the details into account here, as every track is carefully written & produced for maximum vroom. Big Daddy Roth, custom car pinstriper whose merchandising capabilities snowballed until they became their own exquisite mini-culture, does the cover. Tracklisting: Hot Rod Hootenanny, The Fastest Shift Alive, You Ain't Nothing But a Honda, Mr Gasser, Madvette, Termites in My Woody, Effen It Don't Go Chrome It, 1320, Weirdo Wiggle, Dragnutz, Chopped Nash, My Coupe Effen Talks.
