Happy Halloween!

I have a lot of crap for you today; some of it fun, some of it absolutely terrifying.

As you know, I’ll be doing a live remote from the 99¢ Store on La Brea tonight with Mr. KABC. But in case you have something better to do (and I find that hard to believe), I’ve uploaded some of the special Halloween tracks I’ll be playing tonight. You can find these and more in my MP3 Library.

Halloween MP3s

Christopher Walken reads Edgar Allen Poe’s, “The Raven”
Imagine their little eyes glowing with delight as they gather around your boombox, listening to this incredibly creepy and self-indulgent piece of showmanship. Who needs Snickers when you’ve got crap?

Knock knock! Who’s there? Why it’s the Icelandic cast of The Rocky Horror Picture show!
Give us some candy and you won’t have to listen to this version of Sweet Tranvestite!

Haunted Mansion outtakes
From the actual session where they recorded Madame Leota’s narration for the ride. How cool is that? Pretty damn.

Graveyard Rock
Very odd. I have no idea who did this or where it came from, but I play it every year.

For more wildly marginal entertainment, tune into 790 AM tonight at 9:00, or listen to live streaming here.

Robin Leach with Showgirl at Truffle Auction at the Venetian in Las Vegas.

April, would you bid on a truffle this woman is holding in her bare hands?

I wouldn’t even touch Robin Leach with my bare hands. - AW

This Halloween I’m gonna tie a potato to my scrotum and go as a Dick-Tater.

Here’s a collection of downloadable and printable masks for those who are, shall we say, negotiable funds challenged.

You and Mr. K should wear costumes at the 99¢ store. You should go as the ever popular French Maid, and Mr. K as the Butter Butler.
