spooky scary!

Alright so sorry about not recording last week (and also sorry for not recording this week), but we may as well post this year's Halloween CD track listing. Many of you gave us suggestions and for that we thank you. We actually used a lot of suggestions from our Star Trek circle.

Some of you Star Trek geeks may be interested to know that we intercut many of these songs with lines from the classic TOS episode "Catspaw" (considered to be the original "Star Trek Halloween Special." If you're a fan of the TV show Community, the songs not mixed with Star Trek clips are mixed with last year's Community Halloween special.

1. "Do They Know It's Hallowe'en?" by NAHPI (North American Hallowe'en Prevention Inc.)
2. "A Song From Under the Floorboards" by Magazine
3. "The Cat With Two Heads" by The Aquabats
4. "Jack the Ripper" by Morrissey
5. "She's in Parties" by Bauhaus
6. "Little Sister" by Queens of the Stone Age
7. "You Make Me Feel So Young" by JonDis (a Jon Madsen original interpretation)
8. "Shankill Butchers" by The Decemberists
9. "Night Time Demons" by Arrested Development
10. "One of These Days" by Pink Floyd
11. "Dead and Bloated" by Stone Temple Pilots
12. "Rawhead and Bloodybones" by Siouxsie & the Banshees
13. "The Widow" by The Mars Volta
14. "Stolen Roses" by Karen Elson
15. "The Ghost of You Lingers" by Spoon
16. "I Can't Smile" by Bruce Lee Roy (a J.R. Fillmore original interpretation)
17. "I Believe It's Magic" by Mick Smiley
18. "In the Year 2525" by Visage

If you'd like any of these Halloween tracks, we'll email the mp3 to you.

Magazine, Bauhaus, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Mick Smiley and Visage are pretty sweet '80s acts. The Visage song, in particular, is a cover of an old '60s song (which is very prominent in the movie Gentlemen Broncos if you ever saw that). The Mick Smiley song we used is a remix known only during a pivotal apocalyptic scene in a certain movie about guys who bust ghosts.

Pink Floyd, of course, is very '70s -- although "One of These Days" sounds more modern than when it was released (1971 -- surprisingly before Dark Side of the Moon).

The Aquabats, Morrissey, Arrested Development and Stone Temple Pilots are, of course, stuff we listened to in the dark days of the '90s.

Queens of the Stone Age, The Decemberists, The Mars Volta, Karen Elson and Spoon are, more or less, contemporary (the Karen Elson CD is so brilliant by the way). The North American Hallowe'en Prevention Inc. was, I guess, some sort of "Band-aid"-like charity group featuring such celebrities as Beck, Feist, Arcade Fire, Devendra Banhart, Elvira, David Cross, Rilo Kiley, Wolf Parade & Thurston Moore.

J.R. and Jon hilariously composed a couple of spoken word versions of "happy" songs and sort of Halloweenized them.

Podcast 89: Plan DS9 From Outer Space

B.S. happened. If you wanna get right into the Star Trek talk, skip ahead to 46:32. SPOILER ALERT, once again, we're not excited to talk DS9. I mean we get naked old ladies, sailboats and a bunch of Kira's old terrorist friends again. We may as well have had Greek new age musicians on the podcast because YAWN-ni.

So, okay, this particular podcast nearly broke records in length. No idea how that happened. As you will hear shortly, not that much was said about these episodes. Very weird. Must have been the Saturday afternoon recording time. Also -- this tends to happen when podcasts creep over 2 1/2 hours -- the end audio is mixed a bit screwy, causing the end theme music to blast louder than it ought to be. Don't let that discourage you from listening to all seven minutes of outtakes. Actually, those, like always, are very expendable.

Podcast breakdown:

0:00 -- nuqneH and some talk (military money, BYU football, spooky scary movies)
24:59 -- Viewer mail
46:32 -- "The Die is Cast"
1.12:31 -- "Explorers"
1.39:43 -- "Family Business"
1.53:24 -- "Shakaar"
2.12:36 -- Podcast awards and rankings
2.22:22 -- Next episode guesses
2.27:03 -- Qapla' and outtakes

One thing we neglected to mention -- apparently it has been mentioned a few times that Odo can't do faces. Seems like a face would be easier than a basket or something. Whatever.

Watch The Lost Boys on Netflix!

THEN watch "The Curse" (Sergio) on Hulu!

Podcast 88: Get to Know Your Future Self

Fortunately, Skype handled things this week. Unfortunately, one of us was tired and on the verge of complete collapse. As a result there were more meandering conversations based on viewer mail than usual. Sometimes that's entertaining. In the meantime, SPOILER ALERT, these episodes weren't that bad at all.

Podcast breakdown:

0:00 -- nuqneH and some talk (horror movies, college days, Avengers trailer)
16:46 -- Viewer mail

Podcast 86: B.C. in 2024 A.D.

J.R. joins us from bandcamp this week, so he's on the cell phone Skype app. That's why it sounds like he's on the phone. He was totally on the phone. We now bid farewell to two-parter episodes.

Podcast breakdown:

0:00 -- nuqneH and some talk (mostly Netflix)
21:53 -- "Defiant"

Podcast 85: My Second Skin I'm Swimming In

For a podcast that deals with futuristic wonderful technology, our recording technology is surprisingly lacking. Prepare yourselves to hear all sorts of wonderful struggles of two people just trying to record a conversation over Skype. Also, we had a fun time with some pretty darn good episodes juxtaposed with one hilariously bad one. Place your bets now on what's what.

Some long-time listeners may be confused about J.R. talking about his future children. This may fly in the face of the events mentioned in Podcast 62. We're accepting plausible theories that justify our current timeline.

Podcast breakdown:

0:00 -- nuqneH and some viewer mail
12:43 -- More viewer mail
16:07 -- "Second Skin"
34:59 -- "The Abandoned"
51:16 -- "Civil Defense"
1.05:19 -- "Meridian"
1.21:29 -- Podcast awards and rankings

1.39:33 -- Qapla' and outtakes

Podcast 84: The Search is Over

We're back! And sorry!

Season 3 of DS9 finally begins with a two-parter. Said two-parter ends with... 80s supergroup Survivor? We had a LOT of viewer mail piled up, so we pretty much used that instead of us talking ourselves.

Podcast breakdown:

0:00 -- nuqneH
13:05 -- Viewer mail
25:05 -- "The Search, Pt. I"
40:52 -- "The Search, Pt. II"
58:13 -- "The House of Quark"
1.09:49 -- "Equilibrium"
1.21:41 -- Podcast awards and rankings
1.35:16 -- Next episode guesses
1.41:57 -- Qapla' and outtakes

If the outtakes weren't enough for you, we strongly suggest you view this video.

Here is the link to how to pronounce the name of our listener from Denmark!

Here is a link to Onion AV Club TNG TV Watch (I think this link works anyway).

Wow! Turns out Eddington really is in the movie Krull!

Huh. Turns out Grilka is Na'Toth in Babylon 5. There's some good sci-fi cross-pollination for you!
