Skating and music seem to be a natural fit going back to its surf roots and the associated surf music. Today’s YouTube Tuesday is a sample of the music that seemed to resonate in our skate circles circa 1978 to 1982. We actually started our own band during that time but that is another story for a later post. The music listed was listened to either live or recorded on vinyl/cassettes. CDs were into the future, baby! Now here’s your cheap thrill. Enjoy! (punk geek note: my poor attempt at incorporating The Vibrators lyrics into my post.)
