Ablogalypse Now

Bonus radio show tomorrow morning!!!

I'll be hosting my usual 2-hour block of Bat Country Radio from 3-5 a.m. [AZ time], and then from 5-6 I'll be behind the mic for another hour as guest host for this week's Wake 'N' Bake.

And as always, you can stream either one, or both shows online by following this link.

And since we are still in our Fall Membership Drive here at Communty Radio 91.3 FM KXCI - Tucson, it'd be reeeaaallly cool if I could top last week's pledge total for the show of $51.00.

So....the gauntlet has been thrown. If you want to make a pledge (no amount is too small) or if you're listening somewhere out there on the Interwebs and just want to give me a yell - just ring (520) 622-5924 - I'd love to hear from you.

Finally, a trailer for 'Southland Tales'

I've heard a lot about Richard Kelly's follow-up to Donnie Darko, most of it bad. Looks like some weird, wild, wacky shit. I can't wait. And with any luck, we'll get it at The Loft.

Kaufman's 'Poultrygeist' to Premiere at Tucson's Loft Cinema

Not only will The Loft be the official launching pad for Kaufman's latest flick, but The Sultan of Schlock himself will be on hand for what will surely be a night to remember.

Yeah, I know, there are as many lists like this as there are grains of sand on the beach. It's still a good list though, but take it for what it's worth.

I'm sure the Coast to Coast crowd is going apeshit over this.

Zombie's 'Halloween' Success Sparks Jason's Rebirth

AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Okay, now that I've gotten that off my chest, yes - Rob Zombie's recent success in "re-booting" a dead franchise has inspired others to follow suit with a forthcoming 'reimagining/remake' of "Friday the 13th."

If anyone out there knows Ian McKellen, please ask him if he'd be interested in playing the lead in a reimagined version of the Vincent Price classic, "The Abominable Dr. Phibes."

still feeling the sting...

the scorpions...live at ava....09.18.07

i'll be there tonight,
when the smoke is going down.
back to the place
where memories abound

of songs we sang
so long ago
the soundtrack to
our secret show

of animal magnetism,
and love at first sting.
of youthful romance,
and other bittersweet things

the impermanence
of love and life
and dreams that one day
you'd be my wife

and though i know
you won't be there
i'll still look for you
in the cool night air

and when they play that song,
you know the one.
that sad lament
of a heart undone.

i'll try not to cry,
but this much is true.
i'll be there tonight -

still loving you.

Eddie Vedder goes "Into the Wild"

I've read Krakauer's book several times, and recently received an advance sampler of Vedder's soundtrack for the film.

Needless to say, it's great stuff that fits well with what I imagined in the theater of my mind, with "Hard Sun" being the latest addition to the CD I want played for my friends & family on the day I leave this world. I can't wait to see Penn's film.

LONG LIVE CHRIS MCCANDLESS....
