DERK TRACY IN... WOO DUNNIT?
WHAT'S THE HAPS, HO-DADS!
So, listen up! I was listening to my little alarm clock radio, trying to find some far out stations here in Hell City. Things weren't looking too good; I was hitting a lot of Top-40 and crap like that so I dared to... VENTURE BEYOND THE LEFT OF THE DIAL!
Now, rumor has it, that to go far beyond the left of the dial, all the way past 88.1 FM is to stumble upon the static of a dimension not unlike our own. But to play beyond the eighty-eight is a dangerous game... The static can scramble your static, the commercials can turn you crazy... The Big Derboski ain't one for tall tales so I turned that dial till I could turn no more and went... BEYOND THE LEFT OF THE DIAL!
I stared into the abyss and the abyss stared back... and you know who I saw?

The Great Lakes Surf Battle was made to bring together some of Toronto's, and Canada's, finest surf bands under one roof and blow said roof off. The Great Lakes Surf Battle is like the playoffs of Canadian Surf music... NO, the WRESTLEMANIA of Surf music in Toronto. Local bands like The Blue Demons, Luau or Die, The King Beez, and even charlie browns from outta town, such as The Reverb Syndicate, The Robots, The Dead Beat, and Los Oxidados (all the way from Mexico City!) come to The Great Lakes Surf Battle to strut their stuff.
Here's the poster and the line-up for The Great Lakes Surf Battle and MAN what a line up!

REVOLUTION SURF
Hello Surfers.
My buddy, Dave Konstantino, an old friend from my CJAM days, does an annual Surf show on his weekly program, Revolution Rock. Hella respect to BIG DAVE as the guy knows his stuff when it comes to Surf. I mean, he's asked me to come on the show the past few years so ya know that means he is surf savvy.
Revolution SURF aired on February 26, 2013, and was a general Surf special with a bit of focus on The Ventures' Walk, Don't Run. Past years, Big Dave did some retrospectives on Surf gods like Dick Dale and Link Wray but this year, he said to me, he says "Derk, let's just do whatever the hell we want. (sic)" and ya know that is how The Big Derboski rolls! Although Dave and I are pretty much two worlds apart, him in Windsor and myself in HELL CITY, we still get along famously and can put together one hell of a Surf show. As I am wont to say, DIG IT!!
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD REVOLUTION... SURF!
That's 90 minutes of Surfin' for ya so yer in for a treat if the Surfphony of Derstruction 2000 and it's approximately 40 minutes of instro ain't enough to quench your thirst for hangin' ten.
Big Dave was kind enough to post the playlist for the show and also a wicked look into The Ventures and their album/song/style Walk, Don't Run. You can check that out right here. I'm not gonna post my playlist here 'cause I want you to venture on over to Dave's blog and see maybe if it's your kinda thing! On the regular, he plays a lot of garage, fuzz, muff, what-have-you, kinda rock so if yer into that stuff, I highly recommend Revolution Rock. My section of sexxxy surf stylin' comes to you beginning with Hot Water Pool by The Bambi Molesters and finishing off with a little hot rod tune, Firecracker 400 by The Kustom Kings. TOO KOOL!
You can catch Big Dave's show, Revolution Rock, LIVE every Tuesday at 10:30 AM Eastern Time by tuning into CJAM 99.1 FM in Windsor and Detroit or online at www.CJAM.ca. Downloads to the shows are also provided through CJAM's Program Guide page so if you miss Dave's show (how dare you!) then you can catch up by downloading it.

Why bother going to CJAM.ca to vote (it is a nice site) when I'll provide ya with the link right heeeere!
CAN YOU FRIGGIN' DIG IT! There's an award named after me too HA! I am just way past cool! Ya know the Lone Wolf got a personality larger than life, that's why I'm THE BIG DERBOSKI. There are some serious contenders for Best On-Air Personality but in my humble opinion, I definitely think it should go to Slim Gene of Jump Kat Jump. That guy was a great friend of mine at CJAM and also a big influence on me so I would love to see ol' Slim Gene, my fellow greaser, cuffed jeans, greasy hair, JUST TOO KOOL buddy win the Derk Brigante Memorial Award. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

AAAAAAAAAYYYY!
SIT ON IT!
