On account of the warm weather this week’s show was supposed to be a straight-up surf rock affair.  Though as these things go, things quickly deviated from the course.  Still, surf rock/exotica/beach music is at the center of the maelstrom all these tracks are circling around.  Even that Black Dice track in the middle has a certain twangy, reverb sound that recalls early 60s guitar bands.  Also, Desolation Wilderness appears twice; that group’s music is just perfect for late spring in DC.
