Agree w/ BTD on all points.
Good selection of tunes so far, keep it up!

The Disasternauts

Thanks for tuning in guys. And, thanks to all for the advice and suggestions. Not sure how we sounded, but it was sure fun to do. I will let them know about the "muffled" microphones. If it was me that was muffled (versus Chuck), I just may not have been close enough to the microphone.

Show #1 Playlist:
1. Psychobilly Freakout - Reverend Horton Heat (theme song)
2. Motor Oil (Instrobeat) - Phantom 309
3. Exolumina - Space Cossacks
4. Theme from the Aurturan - Satan's Pilgrims
5. Eric Estrotica - Man or Astroman
6. Creepin Invention - Flat Duo Jets
7. Jack the Ripper - Link Wray
8. Da Cat - The Nebulas
9. 505!! - Seks Bomba
10. Triple Threat - Stereophonic Space Sound Unlimited
11. The Work Song - Herb
12. The Man from M.E.T.R.O. - The Metrolites
13. Flash Flood - The Woggles
14. Ricochet - The Madeira
15. The 309 - Dexter Romweber
16. In and Out - The Mummies
17. Bella Baretta - Lushy
18. At the Bikini - The Men From S.P.E.C.T.R.E.
19. Vacalgada - Estrume'n'tal
20. Beer - Reverend Horton Heat (closing song)

One way to promote the show's longevity would be to email: programming@wpgu.com and type "Surfabilly Freakout" in the subject line. Tell 'em you liked it and that you'd like it to stay on the air. I will check if there is a phone number that could be called...if there is, it would need to be during normal business hours. If you called during the show, the only people there are Chuck and I and we were so busy juggling CDs, it was tough to get to the phone (outside of calls from our friends requesting "Pearl Jam" every 5 minutes).

Not sure if there is a recorded version of the show. They may have it on the station's hard drive. If so, they may be considering using it for a future podcast.

Thanks again-

Avoiding the axe in week 1, Rev. Chuck Allen and I will be airing our second show tonight! Check out the Surfabilly Freakout! (parte dos) on www.wpgu.com tonight (Wednesday, May 24) from 9-10pm (Central).

Once again...to help the cause, if you like the show, email programming@wpgu.com (put "Surfabilly Freakout" in the subject line) and tell them to keep airing it. Thanks to all who have already done so.

Oh yeah, and this week...we have theme music!

Well, guess we were having too much fun. The 'powers that be' got back after intersession break and got wind of our little surfabilly hijacking. They have another show planned for our timeslot...so, the "Freakout" is taking a hiatus. There is a chance that we will be able to do the show on Saturdays...we are currently in negotiations-

Negotiation Status:

Us: "Please let us keep the show"

The Brass: "No"

Us: "Please let us keep the show"

The Brass: "Maybe"

Us: "Please let us keep the show"

The Brass: ____

Thanks to all for your support. Stay tuned...

I bet the program director used to be a lifeguard at a public pool or something... Always spoiling the fun by flexing their muscle when it's not necessary...
"Don't run by the pool..."

Anyway, the playlists from your show looked awesome... Anybody that plays Flat Duo Jets/Dex Romweber is OK by me.

Cheers!
