VINTAGE SURFPHONY OF DERSTRUCTION... BOO-THOUSAND!

Good evening,

It is a pleasure to meet you, I am Count Von Derkula. I will be taking over hosting duties of the Surfphony of Derstruction for October as Derk Brigante took the month off. He didn't say much before he left, he just gave me his email password and asked me to make sure the new episode comes out on the next full moon, October 18th! That's no problem at all, I just hope he doesn't mind that I signed him up for Fools for Ghouls online dating! Ah Ah Ah... But I digress, there will be an episode up come the 18th but with a twist... I'm putting something together that get you SCARED STIFF!

THE SURFPHONY OF DERSTRUCTION BOO-THOUSAND!!!

OH AH HA HA!

I'll be conjuring up all sorts of spooky surf and rock'n'roll that is sure to be hair-raising! I'll be throwing a big ol' nightmare mash and I would like to extend an invitation to you! Do you have the guts to show up? Yes, the zombies will be attending, why do you ask? Ah ah ah... All manners of monsters, fiends and creatures will be coming. I throw a party that you have to attend, dead or alive! To tide you over until the 18th, I've brought back from the dead my first shot at the helm of The Big Surf and I must say it is quite shocking! Why don't you take a listen and see for yourself how spine-tingling the Surfphony of Derstruction B000 is!

Coming August 21 on the next full moon, I have a really special episode for ya... I got together with my buddies Matt Groopie of the King Beez and Alex Pulec of The Nursery and we pooled our resources together to make a REAL KOOL episode of the Surfphony of Derstruction 2000. We're gonna wax nostalgic and throw down some real ol skool and rare SURF RECORDS!!!

YEAH THAT'S RIGHT!! A FULL VINYL RECORD EPISODE OF THE SURFPHONY OF DERSTRUCTION 2000!!! DANG

We played everything from Dick Dale to The Ventures! OK, that doesn't sound any special at all... But it was The Ventures covering Johnny Cash! I KID I KID! We played some real obscure stuff and a lot of lesser known songs by the likes of Link Wray , Jan & Dean and The Beach Boys... YEAH, Matt pulled a fast one and played some Beach Boys on the BIG SURF but I let it slide this time. I'm talking a lot about what we played and so instead of leaving ya hangin', let me give ya a little sample of what is to come.

Alex, Matt and I each threw down a track of our choice for this preview. My track features HOT DAMN with their cover of Take It Off! I found this little-known gem of a 45 at Sonic Boom in Kensington Market for a dollar. I played the A-Side, BEAVER SHOT! on the full episode so make sure to tune in to hear some HOT DAMN! Matt played Duane Eddy, a heavy hitter in the instrumental scene and his track FUZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Alex ended our set off with some Jack Nietzsche and the perfect song for those starry nights that will be fading soon come September, SONG FOR A SUMMER NIGHT! WOOOOOO

BIG THANKS goes out to my buddy Tyler Ball for assisting us in recording and providing the turntable equipment necessary to record this episode! THANKS T-BALL!!!
