Cleaning out the cupboard
In addition to the Friday filmclip, which will come later in the day, I wanted to share an embarrassing bit of the past inspired by yesterday’s romp through some surf spy classics. See, about six and a half years ago, I attempted to start my own surf spy band…nothing came of it except for one recorded practice.
But I thought I’d share a few songs from that session for the hell of it. The band suffered from not having a bass player, and having a converted guitar player as a drummer. Still, it was a bunch o’ fun:

From Russia With Love is fantastic! What a great find. I also have boxes of former band rehearsals and gigs, but alas, our focus was more northern Mississippi swamp funk (though I did attempt some Blues renditions of old movie themes). Thanks for posting this- very groovy!
just remembered- I spent a few years making techno and trip hop grooves when loop-based recording first came out. I made some 007 and Spy TV-related pieces. I’ll try to post them on Spy Vibe.
Give me a heads up when you do! I’d be interested to hear them.
