The traditional second appearance of Elfman, although as Mike said, the earlier one was just as songwriter as that the first one was likely a cover--and a nicely done one at that.

Glad Dave is pulling in a few different things so far this year (the Stones, the alt version of Nightmare). I'd bet we can still count on Monster Mash, I Put A Spell on You, and the like.


don't forget "Season of the Witch"!  VHM Boingo.

I switched to hear Frankenstein on RadioParadise.  Now Randy Newman's "I'm Dead but I Don't Know It".  That'd be a bustout, eh?

 No jest. Tom Waits sounded just like that. He was a little scary. I heard way more of his screaming (ranting, raving, gesturing) than I wanted to.

BOS Donovan -- Bob avoided this one, so I'm glad I get to hear it at least once. I think Li'l Steven played it Sun nite in his annual H'ween show too.

Last year it was in 3 out of 4 sets, wasn't it?

Early BOS and OMFG! The Shaggs!!!

I thought that must be the Shaggs, though I've never heard it before.  Too bad (sort of) that we didn't hear the whole thing.  Good Orson Welles, though.


actually that was Paul Frees, if I'm not mistaken (trying to sound like Welles).  

Sorry but that Shaggs thing was amateurish and awful -- or was that the point?

That's the Shaggs' gig.  Wouldn't want to listen to an album's worth of them, but I enjoyed that bit.  Paul Frees, eh?  Interesting.  He narrated a bunch of cartoons, right?  I know Edward Everett Horton did "Fractured Fairy Tales".  What did Frees do?


Frees was the voice of many, many cartoon characters back in the day. He was Dudley Do-Right's boss (Nell's father) and countless others for the Jay Ward studio (Rocky & Bullwinkle, Hoppity Hooper, George of the Jungle).


Most famously he was Boris Badanov.

Frees was also the Burgermeister Meisterburger in Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, and Santa in Frosty The Snowman.

from what I read, Waits with Kronos Quartet was supposed to be some kinda Brechtian thing (as opposed to Waits doing his well-known "hits"). So I'm assuming it was, er, challenging.

However, both Waits and Screamin' Jay have appeared in the films of Jim Jarmusch--I think they may have even been in the same one (Mystery Train?).
