Episode 57 - "Happy Samhain"

"Happy Samhain" (Podcast Title) Hallowe'en week... And a nod to Roky Erickson... I talked just a little about the election, and a little more about Halloween- it's Celtic origins, and it's immigration to these shores, to the children and pranks, to Trick or Treat, which didn't happen until after World War II... Also some history of Jack o Lanterns, the legend of Stingy Jack, Toronto's Halloween brawls, devil worship and other Halloween fun... Then spoke a little about the Trans Pacific Partnership, this nasty, expansive trade deal that stands to criminalize a lot of Internet/ music related activity, and so much more... In the middle, I played a few Roky Erickson live cuts, some from the Halloween double l.p. on Norton, 1 from a tape I transferred to cdr many years ago, a live version of Heroin from about 1982, from NYC, and finished with a couple of cuts from a local appearance some years ago.

Wildcat- Scamz- this joke rap song has a Halloween reference to dressing as cops to steal some crops, but I don't think we made it that far In to that final track from MC Wildcat... It also sampled Eminence Front, a popular lick on t.v. Ads right now. In 2008 when MC Wildcat recorded this, the song was not well known outside Who fans... Was everyone ahead of their time here? *=Canadian cut Veritable Infusion: CIUT.FM Mondays 8-10pm, A party featuring rare cuts of funk, reggae, jazz, soul, blues, traditional & modern African music.
