The Waves are a Warzone.

Even fair-skinned fat kids love going to the beach.  Every year, my friend Franklin and I would go to the Isle of Palms with his family and then hit the coast again with mine.  We’d skateboard, listen to our jam boxes, meet girls, talk with the token metal dudes who worked at beachtown pizzerias.  It was great.

The weather’s getting warm, Coney’s open, and people are talking about rooftop barbeques.  It’s almost time to smuggle some coolers to the Rockaways.

In anticipation of a great summer, here’s some beach music for downloading:

  1. jfa-beach blanket bong out
  2. agent orange-pipeline
  3. didjits-california surf queen
  4. naked raygun-surf combat
  5. adolescents-balboa funzone (riot on the beach)
  6. surf punks-punch out at malibu
  7. vandals-summer lovin’
  8. hanoi rocks-malibu beach nightmare
  9. the ramones-california sun
  10. superchunk-learned to surf
  11. the jesus&mary chain-kill surf city
  12. wavves-beach goth
  13. vivian girls-surfin’ away
  14. the dead milkmen-beach song
  15. venice-combo montecarlo

If that doesn’t get you stoked enough, try this.
