MISIR-WOOOO!

HEY YO FINKS!

I'm working on the next episode of The Surfphony of Derstruction 2000 at the moment and I figured I would drop by the blog and say YO! Give ya a little conversation and give ya a little action, ya dig!

I'm gonna give you a sneak preview of what's coming up for the next episode of DA BIG SURF! Howzabout a little bit of THE KING OF SURF GUITAR, DICK DALE!

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:

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