WOO Dunnit? ... RE-Dunnit!

YO FINKS on this day, April 25th, back in the year 2013, during the early days of the Surfphony of Derstruction 2000, I was listening to the radio and I spun a little too far to the left and went BEYOND THE LEFT OF THE DIAL! I heard something that I never heard before...

It was friggin' weird! I mean the dude looks like me... and he sounds like me... but geeze louise, what's up with the Private Eye schtick? HEH beats me but I dig it! I also dug the music I heard too. Lots of really cool surf that sounds like it could be out of an ol' film-noir detective film or even some James Bond secret agent man flicks. I liked what I heard when I went BEYOND THE LEFT OF THE DIAL so I recorded it and gave you finks a chance to listen to something real kool. But back then, I didn't have the equipment and experience I have now so the recording left a bit to be desired... So I figured, ya know what, I know what I'm doing nowadays, why not go and fix up that ol' recording to celebrate WOO Dunnit's one-year anniversary? So that's what I did and here it is for you now!

WOO Dunnit?... Re-Dunnit! by Derk Brigante on Mixcloud

All nice and polished up for you finks! Aren't I such a nice guy? HEH! Here's the playlist that I pieced together. I hope you dig a lil bit of spy surf!

The Neptunas - Dick Tracy
Nelson Riddle - Batman Blues

Some new stuff has been coming to light. If you've been tuned in to the Big Surf, some real wacky stuff has been going on... First, it was the end of the world...

Surfphony of Derstruction 2000 EP12: THE END by Derk Brigante on Mixcloud

Then I found myself stuck in the Nuclear Apocalypse...

Surfphony of Derstruction 2000 AD by Derk Brigante on Mixcloud

But I can't be stopped and so I travelled through the atomic wasteland in search of a time machine hidden in an old arcade...

Surfphony of Derstruction 2000 AD PART II Episode 14 by Derk Brigante on Mixcloud

That arcade being Bumper City. Before the end of the world, it was a real bustlin' arcade packed to the gills with pinball!

Bumper City - Down at The Arcade by Derk Brigante on Mixcloud

I found the time machine but things didn't quite go the way I wanted to and I ended up getting lost in time and space. I found out that there is this place, the uh... "The Axis of Time". According to the research I've been doing since I have arrived here, "The Axis of Time" exists between time and space, essentially the center of the universe and there is this big ol' computer, I think it's operating system DB683, that monitors all sorts of alternate realities that contain their own history and characteristics and, of course, their own Big Derboski!

Surfphony of Derstruction SOULED OUT by Derk Brigante on Mixcloud

What a guy! "Hollywood" Derk Brigante's ego has gotten a little big what with all the hot air he's blowing. Can't complain about the tunes he plays, though it's take-it-or-leave-it for me when it comes to the black'n'white.

Mr. Hollywood is the man with the most to boast, it seems! Enough about him though. this overgrown NES out here in the Axis of Time, DB683, has informed me that it monitors all the realities and works to prevent any time paradoxes from coming about and screwing everything up. That's apparently where I come into play. I was supposed to remain in the nuclear wasteland and have some bad stuff happen to me (I swear this computer despises me) but I decided to challenge fate and travel back in time to a time before the end of the world. Preferably a coupla hours before I showed up at Count Von Derkula's party so I could go to the beer store! I really should have brought my own beer instead relying on the generosity of the ghouls in attendance...

Surfphony of Derstruction B000 by Derk Brigante on Mixcloud

Because whatever I drank led to a pretty nasty paranormal hangover!

Surfphony of Derstruction 2000: Episode 11 by Derk Brigante on Mixcloud

 But from what D683 told me, if I had successfully gone back in time, gone to the beer store and turned down Satan's brew, I could have been in big trouble. Instead of the end of the world in my reality, I could have caused multiple realities to collapse within mine due to time paradoxes, me existing on multiple planes within the same universe, what-have-you. I don't know man, all this DATA that DB683 spews out makes my head spin. I just wanna hang ten! I'm gonna keep doing that no matter where I am, when I am, or how I am! WOOOOO! I'm Derk Brigante, not quite live but still alive here in the AXIS OF TIME and I will be bringing the surf to YOU every full moon when the tide is high baby! Keep tuned in for the next full moon on May 14th!

The Surfphony of Derstruction 2000: The Lost Tapes

This episode comes from back in 2011 after I had left CJAM. A couple of months after I graduated and left the Windsor, I took a shot at putting together a new Surfphony podcast that could also be played on CJAM weekly. My plan was to get a couple of episodes complete then send them over to CJAM and continue making episodes. It didn't come to fruition as it turned out making 1 hour podcasts once a week was pretty tough. Now, the Big Derboski is going to confide in ya so I hope I can trust ya... Haha, it's all good! OK, to be blunt, I wasn't quite happy with these episodes and just didn't feel like they really lived up to my expectations. I haven't touched them since I made them but they're cool to listen to and see where a few ideas came from and to look at the evolution between live on CJAM 99.1 FM and not quite live but still alive here on the Surfphony of Derstruction 2000!

THAT'S MY LITTLE PRESENT TO YA! T'IS THE SEASON FOR SURFIN' YA DIG?!

SURFPHONY OF DERSTRUCTION 2000 EPISODE 11

WOOOOOOOOO WHAT BE KOOL, FINKS, IT'S THE SURFPHONY OF DERSTRUCTION 2000 COMING AROUND FOR ANOTHER FULL MOON!! Autumn is in full swing and the Big Derboski is just chillin' and reminiscing about the summer... AND ABOUT SURF TOO because my summer definitely consisted of the Big Surf. That don't mean we have to stop though, hell no, The Surfphony is just gonna keep on going, playing for ya that surf from around the earth to keep ya dreaming about those summer days!

LAST MONTH WAS OCTOBER in case you have been living under a rock. October means it is Halloween! and Halloween means the Surfphony goes BEYOND THE GRAVE!

You still got time to check it out and, YA KNOW WHAT, The Surfphony of Derstruction BOO-THOUSAND is always in season whenever yer looking for some spooky surf! Don't be afraid! You can always find B000 right here on mixcloud!

Surfphony of Derstruction B000 by Derk Brigante on Mixcloud

ALRIGHT, speakin' of Count Von Derkula and his nightmare mash, he extended an invite to me and I could not pass it up. The Count would drop dead if I ditched his little to-do! Well, I did drop by and, let me tell you, that was one helluva party. Count said it would be life-changing but I thought he was exaggerating... Well, he did run with Nostradamus for a little while and has a habit of making some pretty accurate assumptions...

Some weird things have been going on since the party... I thought it was just a nasty hangover at first. Maybe I will book an appointment with my voodoo doctor and have him check it out. He has a PHD in the freaky-deaky.

I'M DONE TALKIN' SEE YA

DERK TRACY IN... WOO DUNNIT?

WHAT'S THE HAPS, HO-DADS!

So, listen up! I was listening to my little alarm clock radio, trying to find some far out stations here in Hell City. Things weren't looking too good; I was hitting a lot of Top-40 and crap like that so I dared to... VENTURE BEYOND THE LEFT OF THE DIAL!

Now, rumor has it, that to go far beyond the left of the dial, all the way past 88.1 FM is to stumble upon the static of a dimension not unlike our own. But to play beyond the eighty-eight is a dangerous game... The static can scramble your static, the commercials can turn you crazy... The Big Derboski ain't one for tall tales so I turned that dial till I could turn no more and went... BEYOND THE LEFT OF THE DIAL!

I stared into the abyss and the abyss stared back... and you know who I saw?

DERK TRACY, NUMBER 1 PRIVATE EYE!

I heard a strange recording come on when I was surfin' the static so I managed to snag it with a few leftover mystic tapes I bought from an old electrician that was also a practicing voodoo doctor. I was able to get the recording nice and clean though I can't say the same about my soul... but damn this sounds good! DIG IT!

WOO Dunnit? by Derk Brigante on Mixcloud

SURFPHONY OF DERSTRUCTION 2000 EPISODE 2... THOUSAND!

WHAT'S HAPPENING???

WOOO I will tell you what is happening! It is the return of The Surfphony of Derstruction 2000! I'm here again to bring you EPISODE TWO.... THOUSAND!!! It's been a busy month here in Hell City but that doesn't mean you're gonna lose out on some Surf from around the Earth! Every full moon, when the tide is high, the BIG SURF will be here to help you hang ten!

Surfphony of Derstruction 2000 - Episode 2 by Derk Brigante on Mixcloud

DIG IT here's a playlist for your perusal!

Set 1 - Dirty Copz

Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet - Good Cop Bad Cop
Davie Allan & The Arrows - Rumble
Huevos Rancheros - Smartbomb
The Ramblin' Ambassadors - Speed Wobble

Set 2 - STOMP!

Les Jaguars - Guitare Jet
The Baymen - Day Break
Avengers VI - Avengers Stomp
Los Straitjackets - Galaxy Drive

Set 3 - Miser-WOOOOO!
Dick Dale - Misirlou Twist
The Jades - Surfin' Crow
Southern Culture on The Skids - Meximelt
Bobby Fuller 4 - Misirlou

So, if you didn't catch my previous preview post about Dick Dale's Misirlou, then I highly suggest checking it out. What are ya waitin' for, ya chump?! I want ya to listen to the podcast so rather than dump all the neat facts about Misirlou here, why don't you download the episode and let the Doctor of Surf teach ya a little something!

I mentioned that I had consulted a fantastic book about the history of Surf music by Kent Crowley, Surf Beat: Rock'n'Roll's Forgotten Revolution, for some info about Dick Dale. If you wanna check that book out for yerself, hit up the Amazon link right over here. It's only fifteen bucks Canadian so that's not bad at all! I highly recommend this book. Obvious revelation, I know, but if you're at all interested in the Surf music scene and Wikipedia isn't doing it for ya, then GET THIS BOOK. It's hella in-depth and there's so much good information about all sorts of Surf bands, eras, styles, and what-have-you. The author, Kent Crowley, grew up in the scene, he was there man, and he definitely knows his stuff. It's really interesting to read about the evolution of Surf, from Dick Dale's audial simulation of surfin' to The Beach Boys and their vocal harmony stuff. It's cool, man, real KOOL.

If ya want a little sample, then check out this neat interview with Kent Crowley by the folks over at Book Club Live. Crowley talks a bit about how the technology came about, what Surf music meant, and a few neat anecdotes like how he was taught guitar by Norman Sanders of The Tornadoes.

Now, I'm always one to play Canadian Surf on the Surfphony. Ya gotta show some love for the Canucks and there is some great music coming out of The Great White North when it comes to Surf. From all over the nation, we have The Ramblin' Ambassadors, who released their latest album, Ramble On, in March 2012. You can check out the Bandcamp page and purchase the album there. We also have The High Tides and Luau or Die! rockin' the Toronto scene something fierce!

There's one classic Surf band outta Quebec that I really dig and that is Les Jaguars. They were out in the scene from around '62 to '64 doing some Shadows-style Surf. I played the track, Guitare Jet, on Episode 2 and if you wanna catch it on Youtube and send it to all yer friends then here ya go!



OH BY THE WAY, I'm making a special guest appearance "LIVE VIA SATELLITE" on REVOLUTION ROCK with my good friend Dave Konstantino, of The Hypnotics. If yer in the Windsor-Detroit area, you can catch Revolution SURF by tuning your radio to CJAM 99.1 FM at 10:30 EST! BIG DAVE is gonna play some Surf as well as I am gonna drop a few nuggets on ya! If you aren't in the Windsor-Detroit area, you can tune in online at www.CJAM.ca. CJAM is kind enough to offer downloads to every show so I will make sure to provide a link to Revolution Surf afterwards.

That's enough Surf for now! I'll catch ya on the flipside come next full moon!

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
