Hey, Boo

Holy crap, it’s Horrorween n’ shit. You Say Party! I Say Die! Time to throw some goofball garage and gothabilly into ye old Hype Machine. This stuff’s more fun’n an apple full of razor blades. Just about anything that starts with a “Bouahahahaha!” is alright by me.
Doctor Explosion is... well, it’s the best band name ever. They’re Spanish surfpunkers; their collection on Get Hip is called The Subnormal Revolution of Doctor Explosion. First heard this song on WPRB years ago; I don’t listen to that station enough, now. Man, I used to love me some “Hey You Kids Get Offa My Lawn.”
The Mummies’ lo-fi is SO lo’ they’re in fucking China. It sounds like they record straight to papyrus. They released a collection called Death by Unga Bunga a few years back, and that’s pretty much how I want to go. The CD came dusty. Now that’s some creative packaging.
Direct from Hollywood Cemetery’s a local fangs'n fun ‘fit featuring at least a couple members of Tralala. Why aren’t they playing a Halloween gig? CMJ, probably. Fucking CMJ.
The rest are a survivors – or friends of survivors – of this year’s Drop Dead Fest. Those’ll have your heart racing faster’n a pillowcase stuffed with candy corn.
Too easy to come up with a billion Halloween rockers. It’s the devil’s music, after all. But this is a day for all those no-namers – especially the ones with great no-name names – to rise up and get some play. Marilyn Manson gets to play dress-up the other 364.
If you’re stuck inside, it’s a good day to hang around WFMU, though. Those kids.
And if you’re outside and you see some guy who looks like he’s living in the Land of 1000 Dances, come up and say hi. I’m going as Michael J. Fox, this year. Stem Cells, very scary, bouahahahaha!

This just in: Not enough porn out there: “The competition’s runner-up, with a film about three swinging couples, said he wanted to make movies that were more real and compelling than commercial pornography. 'I’m so fed up that there is nothing to watch.'”

Cohen and I both loved the link to the Studio 60 parody. As much as we both like the series (except for last week's atrocious episode) it is ripe for parody, and that was dead on.
