From Have You Seen Him:
actually …It’s a glass coffee table designed and built by non other than Lance Mountain himself. This little pool has so much detail you’d think it’s a real pool, with the hand painted scum line, wheel marks, diving board and stairs to the working mini pool light ( battery operated) in the deep end. It is displayed in my toy room and is one of my prize possessions in that room. I sold an 80’s Lance Mountain deck i had stored in my attic collecting dust for years to pay for this “one of a kind” art piece from Lance. This was definitely worth the trade.

Usually I don’t care for cute monster/super hero kind of stuff. But the bandnames sound so cool and the title OLAS DE ASFALTO!! isn’t bad either.

Quoting from their MySpace profile:
Surf Soundtracks 1964 – 1974 Released on July 2nd on Harmless Records
Never mind the Beach Boys, Chairman Of The Board is a collection of vintage soundtracks from iconic cult surf films. Underground film makers wanted original music, a harder sound to reflect the new wilder cinematic expression now possible on the face of a wave. The soundtrack they chose to enhance this visual experimentation was the mellower stoner blues and psychedelic rock, which perfectly captured the cerebral highs of living the alternative dream. The music featured on this compilation, some of which has never been released, originates from six of these classic surf films.
I have some of the films on VHS or DVD, and some of the released soundtracks on vinyl. It’s a really great genre with a very high musical standard. And it’s something you can play to people if they ask you what music surfers listened to, in the 60s (and early 70s in this case).
