Hey John, quick question - are you still with the Eliminators? They're one of my favorite surf bands, but I haven't heard from them in a while.

Jake: Not with The Eliminators any longer.
Re: the "Bad News" podcast, anyone have any specific requests? Anything listed in my surf music discography that has piqued your interest? I can't guarantee that I'll have a copy of it, or that I'll have a copy that's not worn and scratchy, but let me know.

A brand new "Bad News" podcast of 60's surf and hot-rod records for February premieres tomorrow, Tuesday @ 3am (PST). For those of us in this time zone, a better bet would be this coming Thursday @ 5pm (PST). There's also Sunday @ 11am (also PST), and repeats at those times through the rest of the month on GTF Instrumental here ----> https://gtf.club/stream/instrumental/
The podcast is also posted to SoundCloud for your 24/7 listening pleasure here ----> https://soundcloud.com/user-542309562/bad-news-podcast-9-feb-2022
This month's "paw-some" podcast looks at tigers (from a distance, though), an interesting Dick Dale record, space, and bullfights. All First Wave 60's vinyl. It'll be G-r-r-r-e-a-a-t!!

Is everyone catching these? You do realize the significance of having someone as knowledgable and experienced as John curating these shows with selections from his own vast and rare collection? And he even asks if anyone has any specific requests from TIDOSM? Are you kidding? It’s like a dream come true! Yes, there are many shows broadcasting these days, but none like THIS!
So, are people listening and just not posting about it or do people that like to talk and talk and talk about how “into” surf music they are really just not put in the actual time and effort to (GASP) actually LISTEN?!

JP, I have read or listened to everything John has said since I joined this forum. I recorded the tail end of NSSR and have listened to his show many times. I have had the love affair of surf since hearing Pipeline for the 1st time in the early 60's. (yes, I'm old)I'm just one person but I'm serious about my love affair with music. I have better than 200 of your shows recorded.

These shows with John are a gold mine of great songs, and information. We are very fortunate that John puts them together. Putting together a show for vinyl records is a ton of work. Much appreciated!

I still don't get it. Why does someone create a fabulous podcast and calls it 'bad news'?
Five stars!

It's unbelievably generous for someone of John's expertise to curate themed shows culled from his own rare collection! I know how lucky we are. Thank you John! You keep it up and I'll keep listening.
