If we had it our way, December 30th would be a national holiday! Mike Nesmith and Davy Jones were both born on this day! Full of catchy cuts and freaky fun, each of The Monkees' early LPs belongs in the collection of anyone who digs fine '60s pop and rock.

Hey Bo Diddley! Today we celebrate the iconic Bo Diddley’s birthday the only way we know how: by blasting his influential albums as loud as we can.

Today we spin Nowhere To Go for Billy Gray's 101st birthday! Billy played behind some of country music’s biggest names & built quite a following with his own bands, The Western Okies, The Nuggets & The Cowtowners. He created hits that helped to define the country music of an era!

Happy birthday to bassist George Porter, Jr. The Meters’ primordial funk sound is instantly recognizable and their influence spread worldwide, from Jamaica's reggae to North America's fervent jam band movement. We’re proud to have some of their classics in the Sundazed catalog!

So we decided to revisit the film Reefer Madness; upon hearing how little music was in the film and how bland most of that music was, we decided to replace most of the music with surf music and other instrumentals. We find it a much more enjoyable journey: youtu.be/Ad1QPVr9EB0
