And I hope everyone understands I am not putting down this new band at all....I just am against the encroachment of other styles in the tiki scene...further diluting a scene that is already so far from the original poly pop as it once was. Too often, people use the name "tiki" or throw a tiki idol on their album cover, thinking that is enough...but I am against adding "tropical rock" onto the list of what is poly pop. Do that, and you might as well include Jimmy Buffett in there.

"tiki" music, (in my opinion) must have some relation to poly pop. The bands I made links to all have a true poly pop lineage in some way or another. Including, of course, Mr. Ho's group. Plus, the use of the title "Tiki Joe" may in fact be the guy's name, but Tiki Joe's ocean is playing more authentic "tiki" music, and has a more established reputation. I suggest this new poster changes his band's name to something that fits his bands style, which is Ska music.

I did, however, like your filipino themed song...again, not tiki...but certainly good!
