LMAO! 🧼👻 I was VERY happy to see the Spooky Soap showing up in WPRB IG story yesterday 🥰

OMG, I missed thaat, DW! Must take a look!!!!

Hi Readie and everyone! Thankfully I'll never encounter a mosquito or spider like the one accompanying the Yeah Yeah Yeas listing in your playlist

Hey Rob!😹😹

yassss, that's quite a graphic!

FLOYD RULES, remember THE GLOYDS

🕸🕸🕸🕷🕷🕷

Jimbotzu!!! GLOYDS 4-EVAH!!!

the most amazing Floyd-experience band in perpetuity! GLOYDS!

jam alert

Greetings Readie and fellow Frighteous ones from this corner of the Pale Blue Dot.

Welcome Alan!!! Viva SAGAN!!!

Mishchief day without TUVAN throat singing is like a day without sunshine!!!

oh- wait.....

🌧🌧🌧

he could be a theremin

That Sagan photo was taken by Voyager 1 from a distance of 3.7 Billion miles. That "fog" in the photo is interplanetary dust. Photo taken in 1990.

this new WITCH release is bangin'

Alan, thank you for the intel- I love that photo!

yassssssss

woohoo Bike R

All hail our monthly donors and all those who donate - pledge.wprb.com

Hi Readie! There is a hole in the universe today! This set is helping mend it! May God bless Pierre!

Hey Roy! thanks - and yes- Pierre Robert - legend of Philly radio- passed yesterday! A Philly treasure RIP!!

https://www.phillymag.com/news/2025/10/29/pierre-robert-death-died/

Im reading a spiritual, deep, astronomical tone to the set! Thank you!

my pleasure, Roy - I am feelin' it too....

Loss of a great DJ!

Listened to P&S all morning! Wow!

Hi friends - Pierre Robert just posted about how great the David Byrne concert was in Philly - He called David a True Artist - My understanding is it was sudden and of natural causes. I am glad he got to see a good concert just before he passed.

Hey Recherche - what a nice surprise to hear your voice as I tool around town listening to FM radio.

RIP Pierre. And on a spookier, soapier, "cornier" note... I send festive "Mistruff Noyt" wishes to all the Philly area folkds.

Blessings Readie! Thanks for sharing that heartfelt message.

Ya that ALT mix of Maggot Brain with the vibraphone etc percussion is wonderful. Campaign of reissues/remasters going on for Funkadelic. Self titled came out recently. Free Your Mind... next I would assume. Then Maggot Brain if they're going in chron order

Careful With That Axe Eugene is another Floyd Halloween friendly song what with that ominous bass and SCREEEEAAAAAMMMM

I will be forever grateful for Pierre’s tribute to Bowie when he played a spectacularly beautiful ACapella version of Under Pressure. I was moved to tears as I’m sure many others were. Mr. Roberre’s dedication to music and all its artistry will be dearly missed.

The importance of DJs and radio cannot be overstated.

The Obeah Man!

A lot of folks don't understand the pleasure of letting someone else select the music and all you have to do is listen with an open ear.

vilchaya1- yes!Pierre was only 70 years old- gone WAY too soon! amazing he was a beautiful soul-Pierre!

Hey Stoney!! Love to you & Sourlandia!

eh, Broan D!! lol! mistruff noyt!! YEAH!

@Brian D- more FLOYD to come, of course!!!

Get yer corn kernels, corn cobs, soap bars at the ready... and make sure the flux capacitor is up to date and set for late 70s early 80s on the ol DeLorean cuz I would not recommend celebrating Mistruff Noyt the same way in the present year. Might not be safe. Carry on...

When I was 9 or 10 we created our 'box' for mischief night - It had rolls of toilet paper, raw eggs, and shaving cream in it. We were mischievious.

Hey Jude! Thanks for those beautiful words!! thx for coming in!

Oh right Brian - I forgot about the soap - we had that in the box too

Well said, Bri - be safe out there - good advice

Mistruff Noyt is the same day as my mom's birthday (she turns 90 today still goin strong! she was too busy for a birthday call just now because she was in the middle of an online yoga class so ya that's mom) and I would often excuse myself from the birthday party dinner table and try to sneak some eggs and soap out of the house way back in the late 70s early 80s.... seeya folks, HB mom!

HB Brian's Mom - don't let her know about the soap and eggs. it'll kill her

Happy Birthday Brian D Mom! ya done good with him, MOM!!!!

statute of limitations is way passed ha... we let her know all the gory details. But she probably knew all along

Sean is happy to hear this song! Its his birthday today, too

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEAN! that's awesome DW!!! Thx to you for introducing me to Steven!

UP THE IRONS!!!!

🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Bruce Dickinson STILL has one helluva voice. And the rest of the band still going (Nicko McBrain drummer retired tho). Can't wait to see their 50th Anniv Tour come to USA next year!!!! Newark area and Hershey PA are the nearest venues I believe. Sept 2026. I getting my leg up on the monitor and imitating Steve Harris bass line now as the song kicks in....

🤘🎃🤘

Wow - I think my eyebrows just got singed off by that Iron Maiden.

Happt to be of service, Mr. Mont!! greetings!!

*haapy*

Thank you Readie for bringing so much joy, mischief and myrrh to our ears each week! ❤️

Jude, thx for your kind words - 🥰 thank you for listening!!!

Good stuff, Readie! If I may be so bold... here are some halloween suggestions for you that I think are perfect but don't always get played. Boris the Spider by the Who, Mondlicht by Xmal Deutschland, Day of the Dead by The Church, What's a Girl to Do by Bat for Lashes, and Fire by Arthur Brown

@Readie, right before we went to the grocery store, you played Pink Floyd "Astronomy Domine". In fact you delayed us going until the song was over. Thank you for playing it!!

Lots of good Halloween songs on those first two albums by Pink Floyd. Also on "Relics".

Thx, Mr. Mont! great recs! will keep this in mind for spooky seasons to come!!!

Hey Rob - my pleasure- happy to interrupt your chores - RADIO MAGIC rules!!

No worries, Readie. And here's one more song that you probably can't play. It's too gruesome. D.O.A. by Bloodrock. Great song, though.

I will check out all your great recs, Mr. Mont! many thx!!!

this dalek stuff is sick, caught some on VER i think

Hey mg - this new release is IT!!

i would have to add Alice Cooper "Black Juju" and Dr John "Walk on Guilded Splinters" as 2 of my all time fave Halloween playlist songs. And they really sound like they are cut from a similar cloth in parts... that haunting cauldron of simmering groove

hey folks!!

so many great recs, Bri!

The whole Dr John the Night Tripper "Gris Gris" album is Halloween friendly

ADDIE! back in the Philly saddle again!!! welcome!!

There's Eugene!

how's the new gig?!?!

OMG!! Careful with that Axe Eugene!

HEEEEEERE'S JOHNNNYYYY.....

tuning in today from the desk at my new job at Penn!

Good luck, @addie!

Addie- how cool is that!!! love it!! thx for joining in!!!!

totally loving it here, so good to be back on campus and see so many friendly faces and meet so many new folks!

thanks Mr. Mont!

That's awesome Addie!! Congrats!!!

Hey Addie! Welcome back! Hope the big move went ok!

and of course, so glad we made it back to town in time to enjoy halloween in West Philly!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHWAHHJJJKHFJKBNLBUEGUYOFYTIGIHB

🫣🫣🫣🫣

Here it comes... those Roger Waters screams

Saw the re-do of Pompeii in IMAX theater earlier this year. A highlight here

Addie: and of course the T-Day parde!!!

Parade..

@brian D - love that film. I have it on DVD. So cool.

hey Alan! it went...uhhhh...ok? i mean, we made it here in one piece. but it was a SLOG. finally settling in though and all the critters are happily adjusting to their new environs.

are you hearing this, @Jimbotzu!!!???

re: Pompeii DVD!!!

Addie: Great to hear, don't mind all the boxes tho! LOL

i'm just glad we finally got some living room furniture again on Sunday. it was a bummer having nowhere comfy to sit!

I bought the DVD they put out in the 2000s but they made it even better this year with the 2025 version. The 2000s era one put in all this silly outer space stuff that was not in any of the previous editions although the sound was improved. The 2025 one goes back to the longer format main theater release of the 70s and cleans up the video very much and again improves the sound.

@Brian D - I'll have to pick that up. The 2000s one does have the original cut on it, but you have to wade through some menus to find it.

But I still have nostalgia for the not so great VHS copies we could rent from the video stores when I discovered the Pompeii film back in the 80s. That was a treasure even if a bit muddy. A late night fave.

*re original cut... sort of but not really... that edition has a "Concert only" version in the menus but still omits some stuff

woot woot!

I will let mom know ha!

aw, Happy Bday to your mom, Brian D!

Stephen Wilson is also an in demand producer / audio magician who has overseen the reissues and remasters of many many bands' classic lps in the past few decades. Especially all the big name prog rock bands.

anyone else planning to watch The Crow tonight? it's an annual tradition with me and my brother.

Addie, tell me more- is this a film streaming?

lmao yess addie, if i was in jersey i'd be enjopying spooky scary movies all month, will you be watc hing anything besides the crow?

nah, just a personal viewing. though i might stream it online for some folks in my gen-x nonbinary Discord server!

@michael -- i am not generally a spooky movie person, but The Crow has a special place in my heart!

@Readie, and we got back in time to hear "Careful With That Axe" :-)

Is this it, addie? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109506/

@Rob - you perfectly timed it !!😁

Interesting Poe. Thanks.

2nd time I have heard about trepanation this week... watching Ratched on the streamers (a prequel of sorts to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest telling a story of what may have been Nurse Ratched's back story). I think overall trepanation is something we'd need like we need a hole in the head (rimshot)

Hi Richard! glad you are enjoying it!

🤣🤣Bri..I've been putting off watching "Ratched" - what do you think so far?

Oh it is a hoot. Great use of color! The Dr who performs the "this is not just a drill but it is indeed a DRILL" operations is a funny scary character.

There's a true crime story streaming- I think it's called "The Nurse" Norwegian release - amazing...

A few head turn-aways may be needed for the squeamish but mostly it is just great Northern California scenery, great clothing / costume department choices, stark immaculate interior sets, the aforementioned use of color for certain characters/moods etc. A fun ride so far.

Has anyone seen the Ed Gein story? It's disturbing to say the least - the true story of Hitchcock's "Psycho" story...creeped me out to the max...

Judy Davis has a really good role playing nurse Ratched's nemesis at the sanitorium

I'll have to give it a try, Bri.

@Readie - that's the one! Brandon Lee was unfortunately killed during the filming by a faulty prop gun.

Oh, wow, addie - I heard about that! so sad!

only the second time I heard of that - the Alec Baldwin story comes to mind....

sepulchral - great word...

wonder if I should take a walk in my favorite cemetery - with so many Revolutionary soldiers entombed... shall I??? hmmmm

Poe's "The real sleepers" are in DC! LOL!

I read recently about the mysterious circumstances of Poe's actual death

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Edgar_Allan_Poe

Yup, looooong reading. But creeeeeeepy

Recently read non-fiction "The Great Train Robbery" by Michael Crichton. Great book. The tiny belfry coffin addition that was all the rage in the 1800s to avoid premature burial played a part in the train robbery!

Huh. I didn't know about the circumstances of his death. Thanks for drawing attention to that Readie. Quite the mystery.

That's cool, Brian!

sure, Mr. Mont- I had just read about it recently! what a story!
