Surfphony of Derstruction October 19th

Just a regular ol' kick ass SURF SHOW BABY!!!

I played The Space Plan, a local Windsor surf band from around 2000. The liner notes of their CD said that they won the Best Local Band jammie from CJAM that year. Pretty sweet to see some surf appreciation almost a decade ago!

SONG OF THE FUNKIN' WEEK!!

I was barely able to squeeze this song in cause I had to play it like no other! goddamn i said GODDAMN! it reminds me of this song from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time

This week (Oct 12) we had the usual surfin' time with a special look at the famous surf tune, Misirlou. I discussed the origins of Misirlou, how it came to prominence in Surf music and the song's cult status along with covers and reinterpretations of Misirlou.

Dick Dale's Misirlou:

Takeshi Terauchi (The Surfphony's favorite international surf guitarist) and his interpretation of Misirlou:

Also heard on the Surfphony this week were Canadian surf ensembles The Reverb Syndicate and Luau or Die!
