ONE HELLUVA PLAYLIST FOR THE END OF THE WORLD if i do say so myself... ALRIGHT I FEEL LIKE.. talkin' about The Ventures' Diamond Head!


woooo I gotta say, Diamond Head has to be one of my favorite surf songs. If you were to ask me "DERK what is YOUR quintessential surf song?!" I would say Diamond Head. I'm not too keen on my music terminology but the riff is too wild and has a really chilly vibe what with all the REVERB WOOOOOOO!

Where does the name Diamond Head come from? It is the name of a volcano on the Hawaiian island of O'ahu! The name was given to the mighty volcano by 19th British Sailors who thought the calcite crystals were diamonds.

Diamond Head is also the name of a sweet HEAVY METAL band!


The Ventures got wicked big in Japan back in the early 1960's. They even inspired the teenagers of Japan to form their own surf bands. The Surf genre went by another name, that being Eleki Boom. Two of Japan's biggest Eleki Boom artists were Yuzo Kayama and Takeshi Terauchi. I brought some Yuzo Kayama trax to the Big Surf last month and you should def take a listen. I played some Takeshi on this show but ya know what, I play Takeshi Terauchi a lot haha... He has to be one of my favorite surf guitarists. He plays a real fast style ala Dick Dale and makes hella use of his whammy bar but also plays real clean riffs like the Ventures. SO HOW ABOUT THIS HOW ABOUT Yuzo Kayama... AND Takeshi Terauchi!! NO WAY



UH YEAH WAY!!! If ya feel like reading a bit more about the Eleki Boom era, dig this article on The Video Beat!

HEY YO I gotta tell you about a show coming up in the Toronto area ya dig?  The King Beez are hosting a tribute show to LOU REED! Lotsa bands and musicians are getting together to pay tribute to the man on SATURDAY DECEMBER 21ST THAT'S NICE!

Make yer way over to The Sister at 1554 Queen St West if yer feelin' like it... and you should feel like it, ya bum! it's gonna be a real show show, DIG?


 I'm hoping that someone plays this real kool lou reed track haha

AND AS ALWAYS you can find ALL of the Surfphony episodes of old uploaded on Mixcloud for REAL-TIME STREAMING WHOOOOOOA

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! Count Von Derkula took over for me on The Big Surf for the Month of October and brought a little bit of Halloween Havoc! 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.
