2-23-08 Dick Dale – Nitro

Posted by gavortnik on February 23, 2008

The brighter and warmer days have me wanting to hear some surf music. And who does surf music better than Dick Dale?

Now, I could have done the obvious thing and given you Misirlou - you know, the song that Quentin Tarantino had at the very start of Pulp Fiction. Now, that would have been a neat thing, but it also would have been an obvious neat thing. I mean, anyone who knows Dick Dale automatically thinks Misirlou when they think of him.

What would be even neater is something that’s just as good as Misirlou, but not as well known – and that has a good headbanging beat to boot.

Something like Nitro.
