O.K. I got an email from Homeland Security saying they were not impressed with my idea of hypnotizing all you listeners in hopes that we could meet in Hawaii and start up our Surf Church of the Immaculate Waves. So i guess from here on out my episode descriptions are going to have to be a bit more conventional. Alright. I took a break over xmas and only made a few tunes and recorded some interesting speakers for this (you are getting sleepy), podcast. My synthisizer is reaching it’s limits (you are now closing your eyes), and i feel that i am repeating myself, so hope to (you are now in a peaceful sleep), get a better instrument next spring when i get home and make a little money. In the meantime i will (it is now time to do whatever Dan tells you to), find an old log and work out some beats on it and maybe get one of those cheap hillbilly whistles. That should keep the tunes rolling out of (call Dan and give him all your credit card numbers and purchase a ticket to Kauai, dont worry it is the right thing to do), my pea brain and onto this podcast. So. O.K. there you have it. A very strait up intro to this podcast. See ya! Download

My Peoples! iTunes sent me an email saying that if i don’t up my listenership of 6 fans that they will cancel me! So spread the word and share this with your friends. If i get up 8 listeners they said i would be good to go! This show features several discussions with surfers and some found sounds from the beautiful island of Kauai. I have also been making a few songs and finding old TV tapes that are very dated. Download

Installment three from our island Hobo who continues to get smooth wave rides all along the sandy coastline of Kauai. Not feeling the urge to talk with strangers, the Hobo added old TV sound clips to this episode along with his home made synth music. Plans for the Surfmonk Church of The Waves is still in the works but all followers are being asked to begin the long process of removing all excessive items from their lives in order to join the Hobo in his surf bus in Hawaii. Coconuts will be the food source while music making and wave riding will fill in the remainder of these long tropical winter days. Download

Our quiet hobo has been studying electronic music on Pandora and discovered a new genre called Minimalist Techno, so prepare yourself for longer, more subtle riffs. He does request that you listen with headphones to help induce a more trance-like state. Once in a trance he hopes to convince you that his music is wonderful and great and that you will become a cult follower of his podcast. The remaining pieces are simply filler noise and the cast ends with a memorable song by the late, great Hazel Dickens. Lets hear it for Hazel! Download
