Artifice Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I'm currently working on a tracklist for a mix CD of indie beach(ish) songs - surfpunk, laid back, etc I do an annual beach trip with the in laws and I usually come up with a theme, but I'm stuck this year. I've got several current ideas (Surfer Blood, Washed Out, Little Joy, Girls, Soft Pack, etc), but not enough... What are some of your favorite indie tunes that go good with some sand, sun, friends and a cold beverage or twelve? (I'm trying to stay awaw from angry or too downer). The wayback machine is okay by me.. I just cant think of any today. Total mental block. Thanks! (I've already got two cover ideas picked out.. darnit) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For now, here are a few I remember: Goin' To Acapulco - Jim James and Calexico (I'm Not There Soundtrack)Off The Record - MMJPhone Went West - MMJIsland In The Sun - WeezerIslands on the Coast - Band of HorsesGoin' Home - Dan AuerbachLovesong of the Buzzard - Iron and Wine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Artifice Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 Nice. I didnt think of MMJ, but I can see it now. I wasnt gonna do Surf Wax America, but think I just changed my mind. Dennis Wilson too, for sure. My father in law will love that. Thanks! keep'em comin! Maybe I can do a double album. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jff Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 A lot of the tunes from this would probably make for a nice beach soundtrack: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
