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

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
