A few examples of what The Great White Shank is listening to these days:

The Atomic Mosquitoes are an awesome surf band with a modern retro sound. I particularly love Suixnami – get it?

The Bambi Molesters are another great surf band from Croatia. I particularly enjoy the fact they have a cute female bassist.

Shawn Colvin’s Get Out Of This House is a great tune.

Buena Vista Social Club’s Chan Chan is a great example of classic Cuban music I’ve gotten into.

Silly me. I always thought George Harrison’s song Got My Mind Set On You was about a love relationship – and it was – it turns out after watching Martin Scorcese’s fine film about George, Living In The Material World, it was all about the massive task of renovating his house and grounds at Friar Park. Knowing that and looking at my own backyard and swimming pool filter situation, it’s become my April 2013 theme song!
