Sounds of the Hall in roughly 33 1/3 minutes!

In this week’s Mischief Night Eve edition of Saturday Night Shut-In Mr. Moderator brings ROCKTOBER to a sobering crash, as he contemplates what’s really scary. It’s actually pretty simple. Some bone-chilling tunes will be broadcast, but probably not the kind you want to hear during this fun holiday time!

Halloween is a big deal in our house. We have a black cat called Salem and the wife has years of decorations we cart down every October 1. We also have a large playlist of spooky-themed songs. Beside the typical ones — “Monster Mash,” stuff by The Zombies, “Black Magic Woman” — I think Donovan‘s “Season of the Witch” might be my favorite. I really dig the organ and the snaky guitar fills. Anyone else have suggestions for the old playlist?

Rock Town Hall’s Saturday Night Shut-In: ROCKTOBER Drip, Drip, Drips Along

In this week’s edition of Saturday Night Shut-In Mr. Moderator needs to keep his mouth shut. Sorry, kids, but this week’s episode is a music-only editon as your host gives his usual ROCKTOBER nasal drip a rest. It was a cool week in the Hall, featuring an interview with critic Simon Reynolds, the pros and cons of Nick Lowe’s latest album, rock’s most over-the-top box sets, an ongoing Last Man Standing that cannot be described without the use of adjectives, and the Internet’s first-ever discussion of rockers we’d most entrust to grill a steak. I’d love to discuss this and other recent happenings with you tonight, but trust me, I’m nothing without my dulcet tones. Instead, enjoy this mix of everything from Simply Saucer to Sleater-Kinney t0 Jon Hassell to Moondog to The Lovin’ Spoonful to Beulah to Charles Mingus. I promise to have my voice back in working order next week, when I broadcast episode 50 “LIVE” from San Franciso!

In this week’s edition of Saturday Night Shut-In Mr. Moderator works out his feelings over an aprupt end to his baseball fantasy life, as his beloved Philadelphia Phillies are knocked out of the first round of the playoffs. As part of the healing process, he feels the pain of New York Yankees fans, Boston Red Sox fans, and even San Francisco Giants fans. Can there be more to ROCKTOBER than the march to the World Series? Will Phillies fans ever get their taste of the “Dynasty Sampler?” We urge all baseball fans looking ahead to next year to join us in this special early edition of our weekly podcast.

Steve Jobs, the iPod, and the entire digital music revolution annoyed me for years. I was so much older then…

Eventually I broke down and experienced many of the promised joys of his revolutionary musical device and marketing plan. Thanks, Steve.
