We think Dick Dale and the Deltones will be writing a letter of complaint… Most people will go “oh that’s the music from Pulp Fiction” but those of a more refined nature (such as Quentin Tarantino) will recognise it as Dick Dale’s signature track Misirlou. Wherever you know it form, taking a guitar and turning [...]

[ December 10, 2009; 8:00 pm to 11:55 pm. 8:00 pm to 11:55 pm. ] Deadbolt || Listen There are few names the conjure up as much fascination in the Psychobilly and Rockabilly music scene as that of the creepy dark San Diego act Deadbolt. The sound of Deadbolt doesn’t just hook, it grabs and clutches. Their signature coined sound Voodoobilly draws a lot from early Dick Dale surf [...]...

The surf music of the Ventures, Jan and Dean, the Beach Boys, the Surfaris, Dick Dale and the Surf Punks plays on. California surfing museums showcase the history, the legends, and the world-famous culture of surfing in...

Here's a little sample of the White Stripes. And another (though with very poor sound quality). Across the Icky Thump album you'll hear Influences from punk, rap, blues (from primitive to rock), rock-a-billy, Celtic folk, Dick Dale/surf.

... because the songwriting is just so dextrous. Their amazingly versatile style spans everything from Dick Dale-esque surf rock to traditional Japanese Enka, and asking what kind of rock band they are is like asking what a Katamari is made of. As such, this video isn't exactly a pristine example of their overall sound, because no song is. I picked it for its aesthetic coolness, and because...

... straddles a few of these categories, as does Chet Atkins. Hawaiian guitar deserves its own post. Dick Dale. The Carnatic slide guitar players, including Bhattacharya. Roger McGuinn. The Zairean tradition, including Franco. Neil Young has his moments, as does Thurston Moore. Eric Clapton was impressive for a while but overall I wish to be contrarian and leave him off. Who am I forgetting?...
