Well, finks, this is the SECOND LAST episode of The Surfphony of Derstruction! The Big Derboski was just gonna put it on cruise control and have a simple show but...

We talked about a couple of my favorite pinball machines, Twilight Zone and The Getaway: High Speed II as well as CENTAUR, a machine I have yet to play but looks really cool!

I dropped some really cool trivia about the machines so download the episode below to find out some neat pinball facts!

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
fifty foot combo ali baba
urban surf kings satellites over praha
the surfdusters russian dressing
space cossacks tsunami tsurprise
the ventures paint it black
the nirvana sitar & string group the letter
ganiman & his orientals come with me to the casbah
aqua velvets casbah club
les jaguars souvenirs hawaiens
southern culture on the skids sheik walk
phonocomb sparkling agenda
urban surf kings hrundi goes west
the peeple HI YO CAMEL
the tiki tones island uprising
takeshi terauchi usukudara


Here's The Ventures' rendition of The Rolling Stones' Paint it Black with a little bit of sitar

Click here for a direct link to the video if the embedded version isn't working.

The Peeples' HI YOOOOOOOO CAMEL! By far the song of the night!

March 22nd - SOCAN-CAN-CAN


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!

ARTIST SONG TITLE
les jaguars guitare jet
tijuana bibles catfight
mark brodie & beaver patrol banzai rider
huevos rancheros whiteout in wyoming
von drats so long stinktown
the metalunas venus-a-go-go
the ramblin' ambassadors hawgtied
urban surf kings phantom riders of the backlot
the sin-tones it could be… a breaker full of DEATH
the reverb syndicate shake don't stir
the surfdusters radar hill
vegas beach hip deep
vampire beach babes tomb mau mau
les jaguars shake
the blue demons empire santo


One of my favorite Toronto Surf bands, The Blue Demons, with their track EMPIRE SANTO:

AHAHAHAHAHA CAMEL CLUUUUUUUUUUUTCH!! WOOOOOOOO!!

NEXT UP!! A rare and tasty track by Quebec's own Les Jaguars from back in the 60's during the first wave of Surf!


There's also a Myspace page for the band, check it out!

Here's a blog exclusive track, a real rare one out of Quebec as well, Les Megatones with Wheels!
