Surfin' with the Claus

by Mike Watt + The Bobblymen

supported by

Lonnie Brownell Big fan of Mike Watt and Christmas music. Also was a fan of The Urinals; I have their single of Surfin' With The Shah. Amazing how well that adapted as a holiday tune! The Wassail song is also awesome, given that there are dozens of versions, the one they picked is very olde and authentic, which is much appreciated here.

Mike Watt has been informing my bass playing since before I was a bassist. Couple that with the fact that I was raised by a father who loved artists like Captain Beefheart and Zappa, and we have a perfect recipe. No better reason to release a 7 inch record in this day and age! Excellent! shores412_0709
