Texsox Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I need seven minutes of music for a highlight slide show. The pictures are a lot of beach shots, surfing, sailing, etc. The lyrics must be PG13, no alcohol, sex, drugs, references. It should also convey a "beach feel" I was thinking Marley, Don't Worry, Be Happy and Seals and Croft's Summer Breeze, but now I'm thinking more upbeat.

Kid Gleason Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I've been trying to come up with something funny...but after a Christopher Cross reply, it's useless. Go for some good ol' California Punk. Ya know, Circle Jerks, Adolescents, TSOL, Social D., Vandals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Honda Civic Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 When I think of "beach music," I think of sitting around a fire after sundown acoustic guitar, improvised drums, maybe a bongo and a harmonica, include references to nature/weather/places. That's it... That said. The first thing that came to my mind was Sublime's Badfish, but that's out... "two pints of booze" Anything Jack Johnson is an obvious choice... I'd recommend "Rainbow" with G. Love. Also "Free" with Donavon Frankenreiter which was featured in a Verizon commercial. Those two are perfect in my estimation... But anything Jack would work, Bubbletoes, Mudfootball, Flake (for some steel drum action), Never Know, Rodeo Clowns. I could go on, you'd just have to listed to make sure they don't have a drug reference... Johnson's made a few surfing movies and produced some largely instrumental soundracks for those. I'm sure you could buy one of those and find enough to fill your 7 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought sorting through 2,000 photos would be tedious, but it was actually fun this time. I still have some tweeking to do, but at least now there isn't a deadline to contend with.
