My exotica beatnik bongo combo Stolen Idols is playing the Hukilau, and the Gods have smiled upon me by giving me a GREAT haul of Hawaiian records, I have no idea what half of this stuff is, and I'm too beside myself to describe it.

First up is an album on Reprise by the Aliis who are like a Martin Denny combo with Hi-Los/Four Freshmen vocals - this is the most AMAZING ALBUM I HAVE FOUND IN A LONG TIME!!!

I can't type any more.

If you're not familiar with them already and you like that sort of harmony, you might want to check out The Surfers. Their "Tahiti","The Islands Call" and "The Hawaiian Surfers" albums show up on eBay pretty frequently. Nice stuff, and available on iTunes if you'd rather download.

Congrats on the score!
