NESMA,
which stands for North East Surf Music Alliance, is the glue that
holds the surf scene in the northeast U.S. together. This group
of 70+ dedicated surf bands show the kind of cooperative spirit
that makes this world a better place - and they know how to throw
a heck of a great party, too!
Surf
Guitar 101 - All you need to know about people, equipment, shows,
bands, etc., is available here. International community of like-minded surf music geeks. There's even an annual compilation
of member-submitted music available for download. Tom and/or the full Aquatudes have contributed songs in 2006, 2007, and 2008.
Dad's
Noisy Basement is Tom's self-indulgent sideline solo project
- like he has time for that! Check out his song samples and buy
his CD's, also on the Oh, No Wonder label.
WNHU (New Haven) Radio's Go Kat Go show - "the only show in Connecticut specializing in Rockabilly and Psychobilly." Tune in on Tuesdays from 8-10 p.m.
WWUH
Radio's The
Greatest Show from Earth - Tune into a long-running University
of Hartford radio show hosted by the enigmatic Voice of Delorenzoid.
The show spotlights mid sixties psychedelic, electronic music, and
progressive rock (and occasionally, DNB). The Greatest Show From
Earth can be heard every Sunday evening between 9:00 PM and midnight
(Eastern Time). It's the last blast before the work week begins
again, so tune in, turn on, and freak out!
The
Paisley Pop Label - Another great source for power-pop and the
like. New music, old music. They "put the paisley back in
underground." Paisley Pop is responsible for rereleasing
the Broken Hearts album (Tom's old band in the 80's) on CD, including
11 bonus tracks (many live!) to compliment the 9 original album
tracks. A class outfit.
Hyped
to Death CD Archives - A great source for forgotten and just-below-the-surface
music from the late 70's through the mid 80's, or in their own words:
"The world's finest, longest, and cleanest-sounding CD collections
of rare, obscure and undiscovered independently-produced * American
punk; **Power-pop and poprock; *** Home-made post-punk, new wave
and D.I.Y.; **** U.K. & Irish punk & mod, ***** U.K. D.I.Y.,
etc." Check out their "Teenline #8," collection,
which includes "Tuesday Evening Girl" by the Broken Hearts.
Fun stuff!
