PLAYLIST FOR “DUMB IDEAS” (12.8.12)

10 Dec

New Coke, a musical version of Rebecca, comb-overs, a plan to nuke the moon – the world does not want for Dumb Ideas. Neither did Turntable For One this week. Hope you didn’t miss the show. That would be the dumbest idea of all. Tell yourself you’ll do better this Saturday night.

PLAYLIST FOR “GHOSTS AND GOBLINS AND WITCHES AND SPELLS” (10.27.12)

29 Oct

Don’t you love Halloween traditions? Like songs about ghosts and witches and spells; and hurricanes that change the geography of the East Coast and turn off the electricity for at least a week. I prefer the tradition of killing people with a tossed handful of flour rather than with hurricanes. Let’s cancel this modern-day tradition for next year, okay?

Don’t know for certain if there will be a live show this coming Saturday. Watch this space for updates.

And while you’re here, click on Thanksgiving Show to see if you’d like to make a musical contribution to the show.
