Saturday Matinee – Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Mario Wienerroither, The Reverend Peyton’s Bid Damn Band, and Johnny Winter w/ Edgar Winter & Rick Derringer

#klangberlins: Konzerthausorchester Berlin pays tribute their city.

Mario Wienerroither‘s (mostly) unplugged Rolling Stones. [h/t Pam M.]

It’s hard to tell, when the devils look like angels and angels look like hell.
The Reverend Peyton’s Bid Damn Band has an appropriate message for the upcoming elections. 

Johnny Winter, Edgar Winter and Rick Derringer, Rockpalast 2007.

I have big plans to sleep in tomorrow, but stop by anyway and help yourself to the cooler on the porch. I’ll be out soon enough and we’ll do stuff.

2022 & 2021 Grumpkins

The missus butchered this year’s Grumpkin in record time, and not a single tricker treater showed up last night. On the plus side, we have about month’s worth of Reese’s and I know where they’re hidden.

For some reason, our last year’s Grumpkin butchery was never posted, so here it is:

Happy Halloween!

“Halloween Boogie Family Paper Doll Printable Victorian Goolies.“

Nictitating Hot Links

Jungle, The Nite Cats (1962) No information about this group, but the song is suitable for Halloween ambient neighborhood music. The Nite Cats recorded this wonder on the CPM (Consolidated Music Publishing) Records label, and it appears in several “jungle rock” compilations. The flip side of the 45rpm is Skip School Flu.

A Prayer.

Dog gets it.

Reeperbahn.

Saturday Matinee Halloween Edition – Rebooted, David Lynch, Tom Waits & Alabama Black Snakes

“It’s not easy for a movie-star to age – especially when you’re a stop motion animated skeleton monster. Phil, once a terrifying villain of the silver-screen, struggles to find work in modern Hollywood due to being an out-of-date special effect.”

Article with “the making of” video here.

David Lynch does the creepo.

Who needs Halloween music when you got Tom Waits.  Little kids wouldn’t come near our house once they got within earshot of Bone Machine.

Alabama Black Snakes fit in with the theme.

Gonna be some pumpkin sacrificin’ around here, even if Halloween comes on a Monday this year. Have a good one, see you tomorrow.
