SoD 2000 Update and HEAVY METAL MELTDOWN

HEY FINKS!!

I know... I know... I haven't been seen for a month or two now and I did say that The Surfphony is back! Well, in some capacity! I've been working hard on getting things together for the new start-up, didn't want to dive in headfirst and get caught in the undertow, YA DIG? So, I've been trying to put together the first few episodes of The S.o.D. 2000 before I release them! That way, you get a METRIC TON of Surf right away and I don't get caught up trying to rush things each week.

In the meantime, I have been working on a couple of projects besides The Surfphony 2000!

HEAVY METAL MELTDOWN



60 minutes of SOME SERIOUSLY HEAVY METAL! If you dig 80's Heavy Metal, then this will be right up your alley! Packed with bands such as ACCEPT, W.A.S.P., EXODUS, GIRLSCHOOL, BLACK SABBATH and way more! THE HEAVY METAL MELTDOWN IS FAST AND LOUD AND NEVER SLOWS DOWN!

DOWNLOAD IT HERE!

I also handed out a couple of Demos to a few folks at a show in Oshawa. If you happened to stumble upon this site, Welcome to The Surfphony of Derstruction!

We have a Facebook page! Come check it out! Like us too, because I usually post more there!

Can't forget to give credit where credit is due! Thanks to Dollaberry of DeviantArt for the awesome leather texture I used on Heavy Metal Meltdown and the background for the Surfphony Logo!

And to everyone (all two of you) who are patiently waiting for the Surfphony of Derstruction 2000 to get back on the road, just hold on a little longer and your dreams will come true!

STAY TUNED!!

April 5th - THE BEST OF THE SURFPHONY OF DERSTRUCTION




ya know, I gotta start this post off with a little somethin'...

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! WOOOOOOOOOOO! WHAT A FUNKIN' AWESOME SHOW!! Dave Konstantino of Revolution Rock and Chris Crossroads of Deliverance dropped by to hang ten with the 60-Minute Maniac, THE BIG DERBOSKI, Derk Brigante, to celebrate! WHAT FOR? There's a reason I call myself the best there was, the best there is, and the best there ever will be, because I AM. 2011 CJAM'S VOLUNTEER OF THE DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG YEAR! WOOOOOOOOO! So, I figured, as my first episode as CHAMPION, I would play my favorite tracks from the shows gone by, as well as a couple chosen out by BIG DAVE

ARTIST SONG TITLE
the surfaris bombora
takeshi terauchi journey to the stars
the sadies the hi-jinx
the ramonetures she's the one
the blue demons moondawg
the revelairs cruel sea
the surfdusters riptide
the rhythm surfers 502 (like getting piched on a 502)
shadowy men on a shadowy planet misogomy and the object
the gruesomes whirlpool
urban surf kings phantom riders of the backlot
shadowy men on a shadowy planet popcorn
lost patrol commanche
the nobles earthquake
dick dale the victor
mr gasser and the weirdos BIG BAD SURFINK!!

This show was fun as hell to do! It was a good time having Dave and Chris in but I kept getting distracted, hahaha! So, a lot of tracks were picked at the very last second but that doesn't matter because it all sounded OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH SO GOOD!!

I finally found a decent version of Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet's Popcorn and I was very excited to play it for all the great listeners tuned in!


Here's the number that we started the show off with: The Original Surfaris with BOMBORA


Speaking of BOMBOOOOOOORAS, time to bombard you with hella links!

March 29th - ALOHA FROM THE FAR EAST

WOOOOOOOOOOO! Another theme show placed under the BIG BELT BUCKLE of The Surfphony of Derstruction! This week, we hit the pacific ocean hangin' ten and saw what we could get up to in the Far East! It was a bit of a loose theme and I allowed some breathing room to hit up the casbah as well as stop in at the ol' watering hole down in the amazon jungles! Jungle Exotica was the album of choice for this show, having spun many of the tracks from this fantastic compilation. Dig the playlist below...
ARTIST SONG TITLE

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! WOOOOOoooo! WOOOOOOOOOO-HAT A SHOW!! BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG DRIFT!! THE SURFPHONY OF DERSTRUCTION had to take a 180 when I found out that it would be SOCAN tracking period!! So I says to Mable, I says, "AW TA HELL with Aloha From The Far East for this week! Let's make some Canucks a coupla bucks!" and so I played an entire show of (hopefully) SOCAN-registered artists! DIG THAT MAPLE SYRUP!

March 15th - CALL OF THE WEST


YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAW!!! HEY COWFINKS!! Sheriff Derk Brigante here again for The Surfphony of Derstruction! This episode, we heard THE CALL OF THE WEST and found ourselves out in the Wild West lookin' for somewhere to SURF! The tide decided to meet us halfway and so we had plenty of cacti and seaweed to go around! The specialty of this week's Surfphony of Derstruction was all sorts of Western sounding Surf! Yeehaw! Something unusual about this show was that much of the artists were CANADIAN! HUH?! Kind of unusual seeing as many of the artists are from the Great White North rather than the Wild West! I guess Canadians never forgot the Alamo either!

Canadian artists are in BOLD

ARTIST SONG TITLE
the twin tones capello de mariachi
the jesters arab
atomic 7 theme from atomic 7
pj and the galaxies wild goose

shadowy men on a shadowy planet they don't call them chihuahuas any more
space cossacks fiesta del cossacapulco!
los straitjackets tijuana boots
danny twang duel
mark brodie & the beaver patrol theme from the old west


I've posted this video a few times but I finally got to play it on The Surfphony so I'm going to post it again... The Twin Tones' Capello De Mariachi


We heard another track from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: TURTLES IN TIME, This time around I played Bury my Shell at Wounded Knee


Here's an OL' SKOOL video of Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet and their track They Don't Call Them Chihuahuas Anymore!


And finally, a little something new, something that I haven't posted on TheSofD Blog... The Modelos with Saddle Justice!

March 8th


WHAT IT IS WHAT IT IS FINKS!! THE BIG SURF IS BACK as we are after every Tuesday!! You can't stop the Surfphony of Derstruction, you can only slow it down! Good thing is that nothing was in our way this week and The Surfphony was at full throttle ALL NIGHT! woooooooo! Great show this week, LOTS of new stuff got some play! I've felt like I've been playing a lot of the same bands lately (not to say the show is going downhill OH NO) so I made an effort to try and play some bands that have had little to no play on The Surfphony!! Dig it!

MArch 1st


Hello there finks! This week's Surfphony of Derstruction fell again on the first of the month! KOOL! Just the same ol' surfin' time we had this week with a few special songs courtesy of the Cruis'n' USA soundtrack. Originally released in 1994, Cruis'n' USA was all about racing through different U.S. locales with some really sweet music! A couple of Surf tracks, some bluegrass boogie and even a wacky techno track makes Cruis'n' USA one of my favorite game soundtracks. I've posted a couple of videos of the soundtrack below. DIG IT

artist song
cruis'n' USA deadwood ride
the modelos curse of the cowboy
kai winding hero
the goldtones STRIKE!
mr gasser and the weirdos T.J.T.
the blacksheep Baa Baa

the surfdusters el dementia
kenny and the fiends moon shot
atomic 7 the man with the golden card
lightning rods rat rod boogie
the volcanos mount erebus
takeshi terauchi living doll
les jaguars course au bonheur
cruis'n' USA Surfari Monster


Deadwood Ride, the first track played on this episode of the BIG SURF:


Surfari Monster, which closed out the show:

In a upbeat sorta way though!
