SURFPHONY OF DERSTRUCTION 2000... AFTER DERK

UH OH!!! IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD, BABY!

DAG YO! The Big Derboski is out here wilin' in the nuclear apocalypse! How did I get down here? Well, it's a long story and I feel like regalin' this old tale so grab a seat, fink, cause it's time for a tall tale, ya dig?

OK so back in October during Count Von Derkula's nightmare mash on the Surfphony of Derstruction B000, I crashed the party to have a good time with all the ghouls 'n' ghosts. Never one to turn down a brew, I accepted a drink from Mr. Mephistopheles, SATAN HIMSELF. My judgment was a bit clouded from the bloody marys that Count Von Derkula was servin' up OK? So I downed the drink and, lemme tell you, I had one helluva hangover. Not only that but SATAN cursed the drink in order to open the gates of hell on Earth, using me as the vessel. This was documented on Episode 11 of the Surfphony of Derstruction but a little exorcising took care of that problem. That though was only one small part of the big picture though... The damage was already done even though I gave the ghouls a good ol' heave-ho and the dawn of the earth's destruction came to bear. I was not quite live but still alive on Episode 12 of the Big Surf to give you a low down on what was going down! All hell broke loose in Hell City and, as a professional, the Big Derboski sought to bring Surf to you finks despite the apocalypse... and here we are now!

Surfphony of Derstruction 2000 AD by Derk Brigante on Mixcloud

The Big Derboski is back in the new year, THE YEAR 20XX to bring you more Surf from around the Earth, although the Earth is not what it once was... Oh no, it's now the NUCLEAR APOCALYPSE OH MAN!

Despite the nuclear winter that much of the world has been thrown into, I'm doin OK... good enough to bring you more surf on this full moon WOOOO!!!

November 30th - MIDNIGHT IN SALERNO

What a night, finks! The weather in Windsor was complete crap! It was dark and rainy as hell outside! The perfect weather for The Surfphony of Derstruction's FIRST-EVER theme show: MIDNIGHT IN SALERNO! We played all sorts of Nighttime Surf and it was good times! I had plenty of material to keep us goin', maybe even till midnight! Here's the playlist of what I did get to spin:

new plays

artist	song
urban surf kings	luger 3
the reverb syndicate	onto checkpoint bravo
the chesterfield kings	moon relay
the tempomen	midnight on pier 13
the bambi molesters	the kiss off
zz top	asleep in the desert
the debonaires	high wall
huevos rancheros	please pass the ketchup
deep note	sleeping with erik
atomic 7	seven stranded castanets
the ventures	music to watch girls by
mr gasser and the weirdos	midnight run
hula hoop	girls from ipanema
los straitjackets	della street
the reverb syndicate	m's lament

HUH?!?! ZZ TOP?! What is ZZ TOP doing on DA SURF?! First of all, ZZ TOP is ol' skool kool! Second, ZZ Top consists of amazing instrumentalists and the track Asleep in the Desert attests to that.

I was really excited about playing this song and talking about it on-air but I missed my chance! So here, check it out again!

Unfortunately, I cannot post as many youtube videos this week as a lot of the tracks I spun are troublesome to find on youtube.

In other news, I will be filling in for Martin Schiller of Tacit Karaoke this Sunday, December 5th. Tacit Karaoke is an all-instrumental program on CJAM 99.1 and I will adhere to the instrumentality! Not surf though, but something else... tune in to find out! THIS SUNDAY @6 PM on CJAM 99.1!

One more thing, SOCAN tracking period is coming up this weekend! December 5,6, and 7th! The Surfphony is on during this period so next week is an impromptu theme show! I will be spinning all Canadian surf bands in hopes that they are registered with SOCAN and get some money from the gov'! So, if you happen to be a Canadian surf band member reading this blog, Register for SOCAN and let me know that you want your tracks played!

Here's a Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet video to celebrate Canuck Surf!!
