Surf's Up! At Banzai Pipeline
''Surf's Up! At Banzai Pipeline'' was a 1963 various artist record album compilation that featured recordings by The Surfaris, Dave Myers and The Surftones, The Soul Kings, Coast Continentals and Jim Waller & The Deltas. It has been re-released a couple of times since. Background The record was originally released on the Northridge Records label in 1963. Later the same year Reprise Records released it in both mono and stereo format with a simpler title, ''Surf's Up!''. The only real difference between the Northridge and Reprise release was a different cover. In April, 1995, the album was one of five re-released albums that appeared in a Sundazed ad in ''Billboard A billboard (also called a hoarding in the UK and many other parts of the world) is a large outdoor advertising structure (a billing board), typically found in high-traffic areas such as alongside busy roads.

Surf's Up (album)
''Surf's Up'' is the 17th studio album by American rock band the Beach Boys, released August 30, 1971 on Brother/Reprise. It received largely favorable reviews and reached number 29 on the US record charts, becoming their highest-charting LP of new music in the US since 1967. In the UK, ''Surf's Up'' peaked at number 15, continuing a string of top 40 records that had not abated since 1965. The album's title and cover artwork (a painting based on the early 20th-century sculpture " End of the Trail") are an ironic, self-aware nod to the band's early surfing image. Originally titled ''Landlocked'', the album took its name from the closing track " Surf's Up", a song originally intended for the group's unfinished album ''Smile''. Most of ''Surf's Up'' was recorded from January to July 1971. In contrast to the previous LP ''Sunflower'', Brian Wilson was not especially active in the production, which resulted in thinner vocal arrangements. Lyrically, ''Surf's Up'' addresses environmental ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Surf's Up (song)
"Surf's Up" is a song recorded by the American rock band the Beach Boys that was written by Brian Wilson and Van Dyke Parks. It was originally intended for ''Smile'', an unfinished Beach Boys album that was scrapped in 1967. The song was later completed by Brian and Carl Wilson as the closing track of the band's 1971 album '' Surf's Up''. Nothing in the song relates to surfing; the title is a play-on-words referring to the group shedding their image. The lyrics describe a man at a concert hall who experiences a spiritual awakening and resigns himself to God and the joy of enlightenment, the latter envisioned as a children's song. Musically, the song was composed as a two-movement piece that modulates key several times and avoids conventional harmonic resolution. It features a coda based on another ''Smile'' track, "Child Is Father of the Man". The only surviving full-band recording of "Surf's Up" from the 1960s is the basic backing track of the first movement. There are thre ...

Surf's Up (film)
''Surf's Up'' is a 2007 American computer-animated mockumentary comedy film produced by Sony Pictures Animation. Directed by Ash Brannon and Chris Buck, the film features the voices of Shia LaBeouf, Jeff Bridges, Zooey Deschanel, Jon Heder, Mario Cantone, James Woods, and Diedrich Bader. It is a parody of surfing documentaries, such as ''The Endless Summer'' and ''Riding Giants'', with parts of the plot parodying '' North Shore''. Real-life surfers Kelly Slater and Rob Machado have vignettes as their penguin surfer counterparts. To obtain the desired hand-held documentary feel, the film's animation team motion-captured a physical camera operator's moves. The film was released on June 8, 2007 by Sony Pictures Releasing through Columbia Pictures, and received generally positive reviews from critics, with praise for the animation and humor. The film grossed $152 million during its theatrical run against a budget of $100 million. It was nominated at the 80th Academy Awards for Best A ...

''CMJ New Music Monthly'' wrote that "there are enough inspired bits to make one endure the few dead spots." The ''Cleveland Scene'' wrote that the album "combines elements of the Residents' brilliantly nonsensical instrumentals, Tom Waits's terrifying but exquisite lyrics, and John Zorn's precise, free-jazz workouts." '' The Inlander'' called the album one of 2001's best, writing that "there are no musical similarities between Thomas and the Beach Boys, but their lyrical focus on Americana tally here, though this ''Surf's Up'' is a beautiful but haunted America."

Surfing
Surfing is a surface water sport in which an individual, a surfer (or two in tandem surfing), uses a board to ride on the forward section, or face, of a moving wave of water, which usually carries the surfer towards the shore. Waves suitable for surfing are primarily found on ocean shores, but can also be found in standing waves in the open ocean, in lakes, in rivers in the form of a tidal bore, or in wave pools. The term ''surfing'' refers to a person riding a wave using a board, regardless of the stance. There are several types of boards. The Moche of Peru would often surf on reed craft, while the native peoples of the Pacific surfed waves on alaia, paipo, and other such water craft. Ancient cultures often surfed on their belly and knees, while the modern-day definition of surfing most often refers to a surfer riding a wave standing on a surfboard; this is also referred to as stand-up surfing. Another prominent form of surfing is body boarding, where a surfer rides ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
