	10:04pm Funky16Corners: @C - That's Lou Rawls!
	10:04pm TDK60: C'mon Bela, Frank, Wolf, let's have tea.
	10:04pm coelacanth∅: oh! Right on!
	10:05pm Funky16Corners: TDK60!
	10:05pm Funky16Corners: Did you bring the tana leaves?

	10:06pm Erica: Thanks Larry!
	10:07pm coelacanth∅: Happy birthday Erica! -today?
	10:07pm Erica: Tomorrow coel.
	10:07pm Jeff Ash: Greetings from Green Bay, where it has just started snowing again. Just dropped in to see what condition everyone's condition is in.
	🥁 10:08pm WR: OMG I just realized that I don't know where my copy of Plan 9 is.... what dusty box in which dim corner of what pile in which squalid room filled with stuff my kids will end up paying someone to haul to the dump. The horrors.
	10:08pm TDK60: yes, the ceremonial tana tea leaves, and my mojo, and staff.
	10:08pm Funky16Corners: Jeff! WR!
	10:11pm TDK60: Dangit! Tomorrow's the Halloween Parade here in NYC but it's supposed to rain, so I'm not in the mood; anyway, can't find my scary clothing chest; where is it, down in the dungeon?..
	10:13pm Funky16Corners: I'm wondering if we're going to get washed out for Halloween. I feel bad for the little kids.
	10:15pm Erica: I hope it will just drizzle too Larry. People on FB keep complaining not to have trick-or-treating (well Halloween itself) postponed and to let the kids go out in the rain.
	10:17pm Erica: It's like you can't get a simple yes or no answer.
	10:17pm TDK60: yeah, we should all just go out anyway. I'll go as a Pagan Rain God or something..
	10:17pm Funky16Corners: If it's just a drizzle I say go ahead, but I also don't see any harm in postponing until Friday. Candy's not going anywhere.
	10:17pm chresti: ..he trained his baby?
	10:19pm coelacanth∅: i'll go as a wet blanket.
	10:19pm Funky16Corners: I keep getting rocks...
	10:20pm Erica: Haha Larry! Don't worry the Great Pumpkin will come.
	10:21pm TDK60: ..be careful, sometimes surrealistic weirdos infiltrate the Halloween parade; Dangerous stuff.
	10:22pm Mod Mokka Matti: Good Evening, Mr. Grogan - and to all you other fine people as well. It's getting a bit nippy here in the upper Pacific Northwest. Thank goodness for the hot wax that is streaming through my laptop, to make it a bit more tolerable!
	10:23pm chresti: The Bringer of Rain.. I want to hear The Witch again.
	10:26pm Funky16Corners: Mod Mokka Matti! Welcome!
	10:28pm coelacanth∅: TDK i've been wondering how can i make myself a surrealistic witch for halloween
	10:30pm coelacanth∅: i'll probably just wear a hat and put a few freckles on my face. see who looks at me with a question mark above their heads.
	10:31pm Funky16Corners: I love a good, inscrutable Halloween costume
	10:31pm Erica: I got the Halloween blues now.
	10:31pm TDK60: I am the one to ask. You find all those clothing items in your Attic or Dungeon that are not often worn. You adorn yourself, then assume the proper attitude; then you do a ritual with tea leaves, before leaving the compound.
	10:37pm rw: Happy early Halloween! And Happy early Birthday Erica!!
	10:37pm Funky16Corners: If the guitar sounds familiar on this, it's the flipside to the Munsters theme
	10:37pm Funky16Corners: Hey rw!
	10:37pm Erica: Something about 60s Halloween/spooky themed songs make you wanna get up and groove.
	10:39pm Funky16Corners: Yes, def an a-go-go vibe to that one
	10:40pm TDK60: ..it's frightening, Erica, how I dance.
	10:40pm rw: Surrealistic witch... huh...
	10:40pm Erica: Is Witch Doctor on this playlist tonight Larry?
	10:41pm Funky16Corners: Not tonight
	10:41pm chresti: Dye your hair with a washable color and if it rains, the color will run down your face for added effect
	10:41pm Erica: Oh well.
	10:42pm Erica: And why does that sound like Donald Duck?
	10:42pm Funky16Corners: It's the sound of the Mummy in the movie
	10:43pm Mod Mokka Matti: Call me a bit biased, but one can't have a truly good Halloween without a heaping helping of some Hammond action.
	10:43pm chresti: Snakes coming out of the hat could be surreal
	10:45pm Erica: Well that mummy sounds like a duck to me.
	10:45pm ParUbi: Always with the marring, tragedy.
	10:45pm rw: https://www.dropbox.com/s/r8v0cb7fsjlzy1p/Surrealistic%20Witch.jpg?dl=0
	10:47pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Have you ever seen Mad Monster Party?
	10:47pm Funky16Corners: Hey ParUbi!
	10:47pm Erica: No Larry. I need to though.
	10:49pm Funky16Corners: It's a big fave of mine since I was a kid
	10:49pm Funky16Corners: I love the organ on this track
	10:54pm Erica: I temporarily changed my profile pic for Halloween. Forgot to do that.
	10:55pm Funky16Corners: I forgot, too...
	10:56pm Erica: It's okay Larry.
	10:57pm coelacanth∅: TDK i've been a surrealistic something a few times, or at least tried to be. i have lots of stuff to work with, but i'd like to keep it subtle. subtle enough that people who don't know me might wonder if i'm in costume or not. i was a witch a few years ago...or warlock? (i did wear a dress, but i don't think i looked female) maybe that was a surrealistic witch? ...hey rw!
	11:00pm Funky16Corners: I was a beatnik ghost once.
	11:00pm coelacanth∅: ...your description of people looking at you approvingly then their expressions changing is appealing to me! i feel like there must've been something subtle about your costume that kept people on their toes.
	11:01pm Franco Twinkie: Larry, my musical cohorts and I were just chased out our practice space while we we were making a Halloween video by a grumpy family member! This is not supposed to happen to senior citizens. Made me feel young again!
	11:02pm Funky16Corners: Hey Franco! Glad you made the scene!
	11:03pm Franco Twinkie: I have this on the Mondo Hollywood sound track. On Tower, naturally.
	11:04pm Funky16Corners: I didn't know there was an LP!
	11:05pm coelacanth∅: i was a rhinoceros once when i was in my teens or 20s. i made a cone with heavy paper and strapped it to my head. i was hoping to start a trend of conceptual costuming but i don't think a single person appreciated it.
	11:07pm coelacanth∅: my friend George had the monster mash album but i don't think one was on it
	11:08pm rw: Grateful Undead Head! That would be a good costume.
	11:10pm Franco Twinkie: Jefferson Vampires. Har!
	11:11pm coelacanth∅: ...so who did the heavier munsters theme when it was redone a few seasons in? i always thought it was the standells but i just looked and there's mention of them appearing on the show but not of the theme song.
	11:13pm Franco Twinkie: If you find it Larry, It most likely will be beat to crap, just like mine.
	11:13pm Erica: When it comes to TV themes, especially Halloween-themed ones, I always end up finding cover versions by studio artists like on those sound-alike albums.
	11:14pm Funky16Corners: @C - I'm not sure, bit I will look into it
	11:15pm Funky16Corners: AIR GUITAR! I'm 14 again!
	11:16pm coelacanth∅: i had to change my avatar just for this song
	11:16pm Funky16Corners: Nice! 8-track!
	11:17pm Mod Mokka Matti: Speaking of Halloween Hammond action, will Arthur Brown and Vincent Crane be making an appearance with "Nightmare"?
	11:18pm Funky16Corners: Not tonight, but I'll put it on the list for next years extravaganza!
	11:18pm coelacanth∅: yes! that little incident, 4-5 years ago inspired me to learn what everyone should know about 8-track tapes!
	11:19pm coelacanth∅: (...okay, not really everyone.)
	11:20pm Funky16Corners: @MMM - Here's some organ, from Richie Rome, the man behind the Chicago Cubs Clark St Band's 'Slide', a serious Hammond burner
	11:20pm Erica: Sorry I was enjoying "Don't Fear the Reaper". Great song.
	11:24pm rw: Does beer plus tiny chocolate bars equal dinner?
	11:24pm coelacanth∅: it depends what kind of beer
	11:25pm Mod Mokka Matti: @Funky16: Thank you! BTW, "The Committee" is one intriguing bit of film. Vincent seems to be channeling Schroeder quite a bit as he's backing up Mr. Brown.
	11:26pm rw: I've got Lagunitas IPA.
	11:26pm Franco Twinkie: Yes RW! Join the to busy having fun to eat like an adult club.
	11:26pm Funky16Corners: @rw - Have a Scotch Ale, the beer that eats like a soup.
	11:27pm Mod Mokka Matti: @Funky16: Oh that was a new one to me. "Slide" has been a long-time personal favourite, so I'll have to go back and listen to this one again.
	11:28pm rw: I'll take that as a yes. Thanks!
	11:29pm Erica: Larry I've having trouble finding the band Country. Can you post a link to them please? Thanks!
	11:30pm Funky16Corners: Here you go, Erica: www.discogs.com...
	11:31pm Erica: Thanks Larry! I heard two soft rock/country rock bands on this Halloween show tonight and I wish to check out more of their material, if any.
	11:32pm coelacanth∅: yes, if you don't have any W.C.Field's Three-Squares Lager; or Dr.Dean Martin's Basic Food Group Ale around, then a scotish ale or an irish stout should do the job.
	11:32pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Was the other band the Holy Mackerel?
	11:34pm Erica: @Larry ZZ Hill
	11:35pm Funky16Corners: ZZ Hill was a hard soul thing
	11:36pm Erica: Not the song I heard tonight.
	11:38pm coelacanth∅: someone gave me a 2nd generation mixtape c.1982? called "space skank" with no info and it took me years to track down all or most of what's on it. it turned out probably over 1/2 of it is Lee Perry (or produced) including vampire
	11:39pm Funky16Corners: He did a bunch of versions of Vampire
	11:41pm Mod Mokka Matti: Is that the same man doing that movie trailer VO the same one who was Arch Oboler's sidekick on Lights Out? I can't think of his name atm...
	11:42pm rw: Wow. My bike trail is on fire!
	11:42pm Funky16Corners: @MMM - I'm not sure
	11:43pm rw: Should I ride out there to see it??
	11:43pm coelacanth∅: oh shit. how close is that to where you are?
	11:44pm Funky16Corners: Stay out of there! Those fires look terrifying.
	11:44pm rw: The trail is about 13 mi. round trip, so less than 7 miles.
	11:45pm rw: My son says I should go ride the trail so he can see me on the news.
	11:46pm rw: Sorry, I'll stop now. Got a little excited.
	11:47pm Mod Mokka Matti: Ah, I think Frank Martin was that VO for the Teenage Frankenstein trailer. I came to know a lot of OTR programs rather early, through parents who grew up with it when it was all first-run.
	11:48pm Funky16Corners: I want to find some of those Arch Oboler programs to listen to.
	11:50pm Franco Twinkie: Yeah, previously mentioned grumpy person was evacuated from her house in Pacific Palisades because of The Getty Fire. Even if you aren't personally affected, people all around you are.
	11:52pm Erica: This song is too overwhelming to listen to. Can't make out the mystery.
	11:52pm Funky16Corners: That's just the VU being avant garde...
	11:53pm Mod Mokka Matti: @Funky16: the nice thing is that there are far more sources now online for OTR, including Oboler's work, compared to when I was young in the 70s/early 80s. Back then, my sister and I would listen to the CBS Radio Mystery Theater with our dad nearly every night, on KIRO out of Seattle.
	11:54pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Especially near the end where it sounds like John Cale is playing the piano with his elbows
	11:54pm Franco Twinkie: Larry, I was outside digging thru the trash so I missed some of the chat. I have an Arch Obolor record called Strange Truth. That's and understatement!
	11:54pm Funky16Corners: @MMM _ I was a HUGE Mystery Theater fan when I was a kid!
	🥁 11:55pm WR: VU MM is impressionist mood thing. Suggestive. Just as the singing interludes are suggestive fragments. No literal story IMO.
	11:55pm rw: FT, my job for Monday was postponed due to that Getty Fire. That day was pretty weird. I think the layer of smoke has been coloring my perception of everything the past few weeks.
	11:56pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry happy nightmares, y'all!
	🥁 11:57pm WR: Understood RW. Hope the flames stay 7 miles away from you.
	11:57pm coelacanth∅: rw 7 miles isn't much. don't eat too much beer for dinner.
	11:58pm chresti: Thanks Larry! rw, me too
	11:59pm rw: Thank you WR and chresti! We're upwind so I think we're okay.
	11:59pm Erica: Happy Halloween everyone! Great haunting show Larry. Until next week.
	11:59pm Mod Mokka Matti: This was fun. Thanks again Mr. G, for another satisfying show!
	12:00am rw: Oh, and thanks coel! Thank you F16! Have a super spooky Halloween everyone!
	12:00am Funky16Corners: Nite all! Thanks for listening!
	12:00am Franco Twinkie: WPLJ was covered by The Mothers - with lots of swearing in Spanish to boot!
	12:01am Funky16Corners: Good old Frank Zappa and his unquenchable thirst for old school R&B!

	11:01pm Franco Twinkie: Larry, my musical cohorts and I were just chased out our practice space while we we were making a Halloween video by a grumpy family member! This is not supposed to happen to senior citizens. Made me feel young again!
	11:02pm Funky16Corners: Hey Franco! Glad you made the scene!
	11:03pm Franco Twinkie: I have this on the Mondo Hollywood sound track. On Tower, naturally.
	11:04pm Funky16Corners: I didn't know there was an LP!
	11:05pm coelacanth∅: i was a rhinoceros once when i was in my teens or 20s. i made a cone with heavy paper and strapped it to my head. i was hoping to start a trend of conceptual costuming but i don't think a single person appreciated it.
	11:07pm coelacanth∅: my friend George had the monster mash album but i don't think one was on it
	11:08pm rw: Grateful Undead Head! That would be a good costume.
	11:10pm Franco Twinkie: Jefferson Vampires. Har!
	11:11pm coelacanth∅: ...so who did the heavier munsters theme when it was redone a few seasons in? i always thought it was the standells but i just looked and there's mention of them appearing on the show but not of the theme song.
	11:13pm Franco Twinkie: If you find it Larry, It most likely will be beat to crap, just like mine.
	11:13pm Erica: When it comes to TV themes, especially Halloween-themed ones, I always end up finding cover versions by studio artists like on those sound-alike albums.
	11:14pm Funky16Corners: @C - I'm not sure, bit I will look into it
	11:15pm Funky16Corners: AIR GUITAR! I'm 14 again!
	11:16pm coelacanth∅: i had to change my avatar just for this song
	11:16pm Funky16Corners: Nice! 8-track!
	11:17pm Mod Mokka Matti: Speaking of Halloween Hammond action, will Arthur Brown and Vincent Crane be making an appearance with "Nightmare"?
	11:18pm Funky16Corners: Not tonight, but I'll put it on the list for next years extravaganza!
	11:18pm coelacanth∅: yes! that little incident, 4-5 years ago inspired me to learn what everyone should know about 8-track tapes!
	11:19pm coelacanth∅: (...okay, not really everyone.)
	11:20pm Funky16Corners: @MMM - Here's some organ, from Richie Rome, the man behind the Chicago Cubs Clark St Band's 'Slide', a serious Hammond burner
	11:20pm Erica: Sorry I was enjoying "Don't Fear the Reaper". Great song.
	11:24pm rw: Does beer plus tiny chocolate bars equal dinner?
	11:24pm coelacanth∅: it depends what kind of beer
	11:25pm Mod Mokka Matti: @Funky16: Thank you! BTW, "The Committee" is one intriguing bit of film. Vincent seems to be channeling Schroeder quite a bit as he's backing up Mr. Brown.
	11:26pm rw: I've got Lagunitas IPA.
	11:26pm Franco Twinkie: Yes RW! Join the to busy having fun to eat like an adult club.
	11:26pm Funky16Corners: @rw - Have a Scotch Ale, the beer that eats like a soup.
	11:27pm Mod Mokka Matti: @Funky16: Oh that was a new one to me. "Slide" has been a long-time personal favourite, so I'll have to go back and listen to this one again.
	11:28pm rw: I'll take that as a yes. Thanks!
	11:29pm Erica: Larry I've having trouble finding the band Country. Can you post a link to them please? Thanks!
	11:30pm Funky16Corners: Here you go, Erica: www.discogs.com...
	11:31pm Erica: Thanks Larry! I heard two soft rock/country rock bands on this Halloween show tonight and I wish to check out more of their material, if any.
	11:32pm coelacanth∅: yes, if you don't have any W.C.Field's Three-Squares Lager; or Dr.Dean Martin's Basic Food Group Ale around, then a scotish ale or an irish stout should do the job.
	11:32pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Was the other band the Holy Mackerel?
	11:34pm Erica: @Larry ZZ Hill
	11:35pm Funky16Corners: ZZ Hill was a hard soul thing
	11:36pm Erica: Not the song I heard tonight.
	11:38pm coelacanth∅: someone gave me a 2nd generation mixtape c.1982? called "space skank" with no info and it took me years to track down all or most of what's on it. it turned out probably over 1/2 of it is Lee Perry (or produced) including vampire
	11:39pm Funky16Corners: He did a bunch of versions of Vampire
	11:41pm Mod Mokka Matti: Is that the same man doing that movie trailer VO the same one who was Arch Oboler's sidekick on Lights Out? I can't think of his name atm...
	11:42pm rw: Wow. My bike trail is on fire!
	11:42pm Funky16Corners: @MMM - I'm not sure
	11:43pm rw: Should I ride out there to see it??
	11:43pm coelacanth∅: oh shit. how close is that to where you are?
	11:44pm Funky16Corners: Stay out of there! Those fires look terrifying.
	11:44pm rw: The trail is about 13 mi. round trip, so less than 7 miles.
	11:45pm rw: My son says I should go ride the trail so he can see me on the news.
	11:46pm rw: Sorry, I'll stop now. Got a little excited.
	11:47pm Mod Mokka Matti: Ah, I think Frank Martin was that VO for the Teenage Frankenstein trailer. I came to know a lot of OTR programs rather early, through parents who grew up with it when it was all first-run.
	11:48pm Funky16Corners: I want to find some of those Arch Oboler programs to listen to.
	11:50pm Franco Twinkie: Yeah, previously mentioned grumpy person was evacuated from her house in Pacific Palisades because of The Getty Fire. Even if you aren't personally affected, people all around you are.
	11:52pm Erica: This song is too overwhelming to listen to. Can't make out the mystery.
	11:52pm Funky16Corners: That's just the VU being avant garde...
	11:53pm Mod Mokka Matti: @Funky16: the nice thing is that there are far more sources now online for OTR, including Oboler's work, compared to when I was young in the 70s/early 80s. Back then, my sister and I would listen to the CBS Radio Mystery Theater with our dad nearly every night, on KIRO out of Seattle.
	11:54pm Funky16Corners: @Erica - Especially near the end where it sounds like John Cale is playing the piano with his elbows
	11:54pm Franco Twinkie: Larry, I was outside digging thru the trash so I missed some of the chat. I have an Arch Obolor record called Strange Truth. That's and understatement!
	11:54pm Funky16Corners: @MMM _ I was a HUGE Mystery Theater fan when I was a kid!
	🥁 11:55pm WR: VU MM is impressionist mood thing. Suggestive. Just as the singing interludes are suggestive fragments. No literal story IMO.
	11:55pm rw: FT, my job for Monday was postponed due to that Getty Fire. That day was pretty weird. I think the layer of smoke has been coloring my perception of everything the past few weeks.
	11:56pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Larry happy nightmares, y'all!
	🥁 11:57pm WR: Understood RW. Hope the flames stay 7 miles away from you.
	11:57pm coelacanth∅: rw 7 miles isn't much. don't eat too much beer for dinner.
	11:58pm chresti: Thanks Larry! rw, me too
	11:59pm rw: Thank you WR and chresti! We're upwind so I think we're okay.
	11:59pm Erica: Happy Halloween everyone! Great haunting show Larry. Until next week.
	11:59pm Mod Mokka Matti: This was fun. Thanks again Mr. G, for another satisfying show!
	12:00am rw: Oh, and thanks coel! Thank you F16! Have a super spooky Halloween everyone!
	12:00am Funky16Corners: Nite all! Thanks for listening!
	12:00am Franco Twinkie: WPLJ was covered by The Mothers - with lots of swearing in Spanish to boot!
	12:01am Funky16Corners: Good old Frank Zappa and his unquenchable thirst for old school R&B!
