That will be my request if she solicits suggestions. I don't think it's been played in the last few H'ween sets.

And the suggestion thread is officially up on FB. The usual suspects, tho' i did ask for Roky Erikson's "I Walked With a Zombie" as well as "Monster Hash".

Here's the best treat of the day so far: the stream switched from the web ads to the live broadcast at the appropriate moment, so those of us listening via the interweb don't have to guess what the set is starting with.

BOS1, Danny Elfman "This Is Halloween." Will we hear any more of his work before the set is out?

Looking back at last year's list, so far we've had 4 repeats but all of 'em are songs we *need* to hear (the two Elfman tunes, Johnny Otis, and Screamin' Jay).

Make that five--add Bauhaus, although it's not quite the Halloween evergreen that the others are.

Josh, the standard rules of Katrina-ism get suspended for certain holiday theme sets (Christmas, Halloween, maybe Earth Day, Tax Day, April Fools and Valentines Day). There are too many songs we just NEED to hear to fuss over how often we hear them.

Cool, but yeah, sad about Train.

Last year some students at my son's school (it's a K-8 charter) got together to perform Train's "Hey Soul Sister", with one kid on uke. It was cute enough (4th or 5th graders, I think), but it's a little disconcerting to hear kids singing about their untrimmed chests.

My 2nd grader also knows most of the words to that goddamn song.

I was a huge fan of them (at one time, I even referred to "Drops of Jupiter" as "pure genius" :-X ) until "Calling All Angels" came out.  After that, I started seeing them for what they were and everything retroactively got an F, including DoJ, except for "I Am," "Something More," and "Free," which are D's because they're not innately bad...they're just by Train.  I've started being open to giving them another chance, but so far nothing released since has been higher than an F, except for "If It's Love," which for Train circa 2003+ is surprisingly tolerable.

They just don't write TV theme songs like this anymore. BOS2 The Addams Family.  RIP John Astin--an underappreciated talent if there ever was one.
Clarification y'all, John Astin ("Gomez" of Addams Family) is still very much alive!   He's 81.

I'll catch the set tonight to see how the whole thing sounds, drop-in clips and all.   Have a ghoul evening!

What the frick? "Drops Of Jupiter" as the follow-up? Now, THIS is a song that doesn't ever need to get played again in any context.
An eighth grader in my class said, "I love this song!" as soon as Train came on. Bummer, it's her birthday this week. I had to at least turn it down, though.

What class do you teach where you can play 10@10?
Dogg, I do whatevah the hell I want in here, unless a higher-up or parent is in my bidness 8)

Cool, but yeah, sad about Train.

Last year some students at my son's school (it's a K-8 charter) got together to perform Train's "Hey Soul Sister", with one kid on uke. It was cute enough (4th or 5th graders, I think), but it's a little disconcerting to hear kids singing about their untrimmed chests.

My 2nd grader also knows most of the words to that goddamn song.
Does this mean people actually listen to lyrics of Train songs?  Do I have to look it up to know what the song's about?  ewww!

well, yes, the reason I hate Train so much is because I *have* listened to their lyrics -- which are god-fucking-awful.  "Like a virgin, you're Madonna/And I'm always gonna wanna" --yeesh.
I just read the lyrics closely, and there's nothing there.  It's just as insipid as I thought it was.

Seriously? Jeez, I am very red-faced. I could have sworn he died a few years back. Glad to be wrong about that, of course.   :-[ :-[ :-[
