I was going through my hopeless CD collection a little earlier, uploaded onto my Xbox-which-I-hate for easy access. That's the (only) cool thing about the Xbox, the fact you can use it as a console music player without tying up your CD collection. I'm sure this makes me hopelessly behind the scene, me using it as a slightly-less-expensive, non-portable, TV-bound iPod, but hey.
In particular, I found the old Space Ghost/Zorak/Brak CDs (1, 2, 3) released by Rhino, the ones compiling the music and sketches from Cartoon Planet and Brak Presents The Brak Show Starring Brak. Both of these shows didn't last as long as Space Ghost Coast to Coast, from which they arose, but were actually better, less purposely random and antagonistic towards its audience, and more genuinely silly and weird.
These days it's almost impossible to find on the air. Cartoon Network has been known to air it in the same time slot as SGC2C, but that's iffy at best, and I don't think it's even aired anymore. It's a shame. The only good explanation I've heard for it is Sesame Street on mind-altering drugs, and that is no exaggeration.
