The Audio Files Ep. 20: Cocoa Beach: Space Age Beach Songs
Description
Brad Zerbo and Jaytriot close out The Audio Files season with a cinematic tribute to Cocoa Beach, the home of rockets, surfboards, and the Great American Restoration Tour. Broadcasting from the edge of liftoff, the duo blends 60 years of beach and space-inspired music, from Frankie Avalon’s Beach Blanket Bingo to Bowie’s Space Oddity and Flock of Seagulls’ Space Age Love Song. They trace the strange but beautiful collision of 1960s surf culture and NASA’s space program, weaving in punk, new wave, and glam rock detours along the way. Between stories of CanCon’s “spacey” beach party, Brad’s Jersey Shore nostalgia, and Jay’s Ace Frehley memories, this episode feels like a warm night by the ocean, equal parts nostalgia, laughter, and heart. The finale ends on a high note with Sinatra’s timeless Fly Me to the Moon, a song once played aboard Apollo 11 and now closing out the pre-GART celebration with style and soul.
