Music : Squirrel Nut Zippers

Time for some more tunes ~ yet again something different ~ This time it's the swinging cheesy fun toe tappers known as the Squirrel Nut Zippers.

The Squirrel Nut Zippers are a band formed in 1993 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina by James "Jimbo" Mathus (vocals and guitar), Katharine Whalen (vocals, banjo, and ukulele), Chris Phillips on drums, Don Raleigh on bass and sideman Ken Mosher.

While the band's eclectic fusion of Delta blues, gypsy jazz, 1930s-era swing, klezmer, and other styles made them hard to categorize, their quirky music found a niche in the late 1990s. ~ wiki

If you haven't heard them yet preview a video and get acquainted with them.

Books : H.P. Lovecraft and Poe

Here are a few links with books from both EA Poe and HP Lovecraft. Two of my favorite authors when it comes to Horror.

Poe downloads at many books.net

Lovecraft Downloads at many books.net

a big thanks to Dave Tackett for these great links above!

Here is another place to grab some stuff - though I recommend the above links over these.
Only problem with this link is that they are all posted on web pages in text formats - no downloads.

Music : Screamin' Jay Hawkins

Before Alice Cooper...Before KISS...Before Marilyn Manson
there was...Jalacy Hawkins, best known as Screamin' Jay Hawkins (July 18, 1929 – February 12, 2000) was an African-American singer. Famed chiefly for his powerful, operatic vocal delivery and wildly theatrical performances of songs such as "I Put a Spell on You" and "Constipation Blues," Hawkins sometimes used macabre props onstage, making him perhaps the first shock rocker.

Tool: Spybot search and destroy

ARGH I hate spyware! If you don't have a good anti-spyware program yet (or it isn't catching all of the probs) give this a try.Spybot Search and Destroy is a free, fast, proactive antispyware app, and it doesn't require you to provide an e-mail address or any other information about yourself. (and by free I mean Free - there is no upgrade. You get all functions .) Spybot's default mode is easy to use for most home users, and its advanced mode offers features that will please most high-end users. With its support of more than 30 different languages, Spybot maintains wide international appeal. Spybot is not a fixall, there are some things it wont get. But for a freebie that is safe and easy to use it's a good start to fixing your problems. Ive used it for years and it has helped many times.

Music : Boone : In a Metal Mood

WTF?!?!
Sacrilegious renditions of classic rock tunes done in Pat's own style. You'll like it or hate it.

His cover of Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy Train would later serve as the theme song for Ozzy's reality show, The Osbournes.
Monty Python have got nothing on Pat Boone. You want absurd, this is the pinnacle. No comedy writer in his/her dreams could have dreamt up anything even half as stupid. The mere idea of Pat Boone, Mr. Squeaky Clean himself, (ahem) crooning heavy metal tunes is bad enough, but it gets so much worse. Big name arrangers were brought in to take crunchy power chords and squealing guitar solos and turn them into jazzy riffs and big band horn blasts. Even a few of the artists whose material is covered make guest appearances. Guitarist Ritchie Blackmore plugs in on "Smoke on the Water," while vocalist Ronnie James Dio gives a shout out on his band's "Holy Diver." This musical "idiodyssey" actually works a few times. I'm not immune to the kitsch value that the swingin' versions of AC/DC's "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)," Hendrix's "The Wind Cries Mary," or Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train" provide. These songs almost sound like they were written for this kind of overblown, slick swing. Very scary. As for the rest, well, let's just say that aside from the fact that they don't really work too well in this format, Boone just ends up sort of speaking the lyrics and sounding completely goofy. -amazon
