Face it, Halloween isn’t very scary. It’s usually pretty funny – this year there will be people dressed up like characters from Harry Potter, or as Charlie Sheen, or maybe even Arnold Schwarzenegger or Rick Perry or Ron Paul. Surely some women will dress to emulate Lady Gaga, or maybe even Amy Winehouse or Kate Middleton. Then there will be that one guy who will dress up as Anthony Weiner with a crucial part of his costume enhanced (or removed). Ha, ha. As I said, real funny.

Here is the best Halloween blog I’ve ever seen: Magic Carpet Burn

30 Days Out (From Christmas): Holiday Clearance!

Posted in 30 Days Out (From Christmas) with tags Brian Wilson, Cyndi Lauper, Dragnet, Gary Glitter, Gene Simmons, Jack Webb, Mike Oldfield, Norah Jones, Sheryl Crow, Star Wars Christmas, the Hives, Tiny Tim on December 20, 2008 by 30daysout

Day 25 – Only four shopping days left till Christmas, and we’re huffing into the homestretch of our holiday music marathon. Today we’ll pick up some of the leftovers that have been left on the cutting room floor. You got a little of everything: some WTF? (Tiny Tim), something new (Hives, Sheryl Crow) some rock and roll (Gary Glitter), Zappa, Belafonte and a full Christmas episode of Jack Webb’s “Dragnet” radio show from the 1950s. My advice to you is to make like the couple in the photo above – pop a few bottlecaps (of Schlitz? … That woman looks a little drunk) and cue up the tunes. Thanks and a big “Merry Xmas” to L.A. correspondent and radio personality Randy Fuller, who shared some of his library for this ill-advised project.
