Now, his newest collection “AtoZ - Haunted By My Horrors”
( audioboots.org/Albums/AtoZHaunted/ )
drops. This album collects the “best” tracks off the comps mentioned above, with some very appealing new tracks. Taking a hard gander at this Haunted collection, you’ll find swell mashup pairings like “Me & My Shadow Exist” ( Judy Garland vs Orbital ), “Skeletons Done It?” ( Nilsson vs Alice Cooper ), & “I’m So Fiendishly Tired” ( DJ Konrad Useo vs AtoZ vs The Beatles ).
All in all, you’ll get 30 extensively-mixed mashups in the zip file, plus there’s incredibly detailed new art by AtoZ for each track. I’m proud to appear on a few tracks contained herein, on this, the 2nd release in the Audioboots Presents series. ( #1 was DJ Spider’s Lockdown
( audioboots.org/Albums/SpidersLockdown/ )
This is a great album for any all-ages Halloween celebration, or you can add your own blue language to spice it up. ;)
I advise leaving comments if you want to motivate AtoZ to provide more. Encouraging bootleggers is an activity that we all feel the benefit from. Also, I’m pretty sure if you don’t treat AtoZ, he’ll trick you back, & you don’t want mashups wiped all over your windows. lol.
• In 1926, T.L. Travers, the creator of Mary Poppins, visited one of her writing heroes, the poet William Butler Yeats, in Dublin. But before visiting him, she first visited the lake called Lough Gill, where a boatman took her to what Yeats called in a poem “The Lake Isle of Innisfree.” Unfortunately, the boatman was not a romantic, and he called the isle what other, not-poetic people called it: Rat Island.
• Author Beth Lisick used to write an entertainment column for an alternative newspaper’s website, where she quickly learned not to use a pseudonym. At first, she wanted to use the pseudonym “Mae Hemm,” but when she failed to show ID bearing that name to the guy carrying the list of names of everybody who got a free pass, she ended up paying the cover charge.
• Shortly after becoming an author, Walter Milton Myers changed his name to Walter Dean Myers to honor the family who had adopted him when things got tough for his biological family. His timing was excellent. Florence Dean, his foster mother, died, but not before seeing the name “Walter Dean Myers” listed as author on a book.
New Year’s Eve
• As you would expect, parties at which the staff of MAD magazine was invited were filled with laughter. MAD writer Dick DeBartolo often invited the usual gang of idiots over for a New Year’s Eve Party and asked them to perform. MAD publisher William M. Gaines — a heavy man who enjoyed eating — did magic tricks, and was introduced in this way: “Ladies and gentlemen, one of the most famous names in magic — recently he astounded a crowd at an Italian restaurant, where he made three plates of spaghetti and two pizzas disappear — please welcome William M. Gaines!” In addition, MAD co-editor Nick Meglin performed his version of the song “Try to Remember” — the only thing he could remember (at least in the act) was the title of the song.
People with Handicaps
• Before becoming a renowned author of children’s books, Sid Fleischman traveled with a magic show run by Arthur Bull, who used to make prosthetic legs. Mr. Bull had a friend named Charlie Hastings, who had an artificial leg below a knee. People couldn’t tell that Mr. Hastings had an artificial leg because he hardly limped. One day, Mr. Hastings was short of money, so he went into a bar and told people that he could drive an ice pick through his leg because he was a freak of nature who couldn’t feel pain. Lots of people bet that he couldn’t do that, and Mr. Hastings made quite a lot of money — and made a few men faint — by doing exactly that. Unfortunately, Mr. Hastings tried doing the trick a second time, and this time he split open his very expensive artificial leg and had to buy a new one.
• Jean Little, a young people’s author, learned the power of words early in her life. She had been born with poor vision, and the other schoolchildren teased her by waiting until no teachers were within hearing distance, then shouting at her, “Cross-eyed! Cross-eyed!” One day she asked her mother, a physician, for the medical terms used to describe her eye condition, and the next time a boy started calling her cross-eyed, she turned and told him, loudly and clearly, “I am not cross-eyed. I have corneal opacities and eccentric pupils.” The boy’s mouth dropped open, she turned her back on him, and she walked away.
The Grateful Dead was an American rock band formed in 1965 in Palo Alto, California. The band is known for its eclectic style, which fused elements of rock, folk, country, jazz, bluegrass, blues, gospel, and psychedelic rock; for live performances of lengthy instrumental jams; and for its devoted fan base, known as "Deadheads". "Their music", writes Lenny Kaye, "touches on ground that most other groups don't even know exists." These various influences were distilled into a diverse and psychedelic whole that made the Grateful Dead "the pioneering Godfathers of the jam band world". The band was ranked 57th by Rolling Stone magazine in its The Greatest Artists of All Time issue. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 and a recording of their May 8, 1977 performance at Cornell University's Barton Hall was added to the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress in 2012. The Grateful Dead has sold more than 35 million albums worldwide.
After Lithuania gained its independence from the USSR, the country announced its withdrawal from the 1992 Olympics due to the lack of any money to sponsor participants. But NBA star Šarunas Marciulionis, a native Lithuanian basketball star, wanted to help his native team to compete. His efforts resulted in a call from representatives of the Grateful Dead who set up a meeting with the band members. The band agreed to fund transportation costs for the team (about five thousand dollars) along with Grateful Dead design for the basketball jerseys and shorts for the team to wear in the competition. The Lithuanian basketball team won the bronze medal in the 1992 Olympics and the Lithuanian basketball/Grateful Dead T-shirts became part of pop culture, especially in Lithuania. The incident was covered by the documentary The Other Dream Team.

The Grateful Dead. So Wiki tells me. That band never got much airplay and I never bought or listened to any of their albums. In 1987 the band had a single that peaked at #9 on the Billboard chart, its highest ranked single. The Dead made up for a lack of record sales by a more or less constant touring schedule that were attended by their ardent druggie fans, known as Dead Heads. The band was inducted into the RRHOF in 1994, one year before the death of founder Jerry Garcia. Garcia’s death ended the band’s 30 year run, although remaining members and guest musicians sometimes perform live shows under other names. As far as that Lithuanian team, they won the bronze medal, so good on the Grateful Dead for their generosity.

that would be...
…(if my memories from that century retain any semblance of accuracy) the good ol’ Grateful Dead…in fact i still have that t-shirt (though unfotunately i am not that size any longer…)
Daniel in The City replied:
Good ol’ Grateful Dead. The team played at least one game wearing tie-dye, as I recall, and won the bronze medal.
This is probably what I remember, rather them actually playing in tie-dye. Bill Walton, basketball great and consummate Deadhead, was the catalyst behind the whole thing.

I know this one. It's the Grateful Dead. Growing up, I was in love with punk rock, & loathed the dead.
But, around 1999 my tastes shifted, & I've enjoyed them ever since. Go figure.

The stars from the beloved show about nothing are getting together for a fundraiser — about something.
The team behind Seinfeld will reunite Friday in hopes of helping to turn Texas blue. Stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Jason Alexander — who famously played Elaine Benes and George Costanza, respectively, on the iconic '90s NBC sitcom — are reuniting with Seinfeld creator Larry David for a "Fundraiser About Something" to benefit the Texas Democratic Party.
The virtual reunion — which will be livestreamed once on Friday at 7 p.m. CT, with a VIP reception kicking off at 6:30 p.m. CT — will be moderated by Late Night host and Seinfeld fan Seth Meyers, and will feature Louis-Dreyfus, Alexander and David discussing behind-the-scenes stories from their favorite episodes. Former Seinfeld writer-producer and Veep showrunner David Mandel (who wrote the Newman ad with Wayne Knight reprising his postman character that recently went viral) is also working on the reunion, which promises special guests and surprises. A donation of any amount is required to gain access to the special event at txdem.co/Something.
The Seinfeld reunion is set to be a treat for fans. Not since the 2009 finale of David's HBO comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm has the cast reunited (the episode featured the original cast of Louis-Dreyfus, Alexander, Jerry Seinfeld and Michael Richards and revolved around a fictional Seinfeld reunion show) since going off the air with its much-discussed finale in 1998 and after nine acclaimed seasons.
Fans of the beloved Peanuts holiday specials will have a new way to watch this year, starting with the ever-popular “It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.”
The animated Halloween special, which debuted on CBS in 1966, won’t air on broadcast television this year and will instead stream exclusively on Apple TV+, the company announced in a joint statement with Canadian media company WildBrain on Monday.
“It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” became available for global streaming on the digital platform Oct. 19 and will be available for free Oct. 30-Nov. 1.
Apple TV+ is also set to launch two other Peanuts specials, including “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” and “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” All three, including “The Great Pumpkin” have aired every year on ABC since 2000.
President Trump (R-Crooked) abruptly ended his '60 Minutes' interview after 45 minutes and then tweeted about host Lesley Stahl not wearing a mask inside the White House
Something happened during the taping of President Donald Trump's interview for "60 Minutes" that led him to end the interview early, according to CNN.
Trump did 45 minutes of taping with host Lesley Stahl before he walked out and did not return for a scheduled "walk and talk" taping with Vice President Mike Pence, according to CNN.
Trump and Pence were supposed to appear together, but after Trump walked out, Pence's will be done separately, according to CNN.
Scott Baio, a vocal Trump supporter, expressed his disappointment over former “Happy Days” co-stars staging a reunion to raise money for the Wisconsin Democratic Party.
“What a shame to use a classic show like Happy Days about Americana to promote an anti-American socialist,” Baio tweeted.
Hollywood megaproducer Ron Howard, who co-starred as Richie Cunningham alongside Baio on the classic 80’s sitcom , announced the event via Twitter on Monday.
Howard will be joined by “Happy Days” co-stars Henry Winkler (Fonzie), Marion Ross (Marion) and Anson Williams (Potsie).
The family of slain Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi has filed a federal lawsuit accusing Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of personally ordering Khashoggi's brutal execution in order to silence the high-profile government critic.
The lawsuit was filed Tuesday in Washington, D.C., on behalf of Khashoggi's fiancee Hatice Cengiz and Democracy for the Arab World Now or DAWN, the human rights organization that Khashoggi founded shortly before his death. It names Prince Mohammed and a host of Saudi Ministry of Interior officials, accusing them of a “brutal and brazen crime” that was the result of “weeks of planning" and premeditation.
“Jamal believed anything was possible in America and I place my trust in the American civil justice system to obtain a measure of justice and accountability," Cengiz said in a statement Tuesday.
Western intelligence agencies, as well as the U.S. Congress, have said the crown prince bears ultimate responsibility for the killing and that an operation of this magnitude could not have happened without his knowledge.
Sunday two weeks ago, my wife and I joined four friends for a birthday dinner, making up what was then the maximum sized legally-permissible group, six.
An opportunity to forget about the coronavirus for a few hours turned into anything but when one of our host’s kids came into the room where we were eating and told us that they’d heard on TikTok that the country was moving to “level five.”
Level five is essentially a total lockdown with restaurants (and our famous pubs) only open for takeaway; non-essential shops closed; hairdressers and salons closed; all social visits banned; weddings and funerals limited to 25 guests and individuals prohibited from traveling farther than 3 miles from their homes.
The following day, Monday, Ireland’s government did something extraordinary; it rejected NPHET’s advice. It said the entire country would move to level three instead.
Scientists have discovered a new organ: a set of salivary glands set deep in the upper part of the throat.
This nasopharynx region — behind the nose — was not thought to host anything but microscopic, diffuse, salivary glands; but the newly discovered set are about 1.5 inches (3.9 centimeters) in length on average. Because of their location over a piece of cartilage called the torus tubarius, the discoverers of these new glands have dubbed them the tubarial salivary glands. The glands probably lubricate and moisten the upper throat behind the nose and mouth, the researchers wrote online Sept. 23 in the journal Radiotherapy and Oncology.
The discovery was accidental. Researchers at the Netherlands Cancer Institute were using a combination of CT scans and positron emission tomography (PET) scans called PSMA PET-CT to study prostate cancer. In PSMA PET-CT scanning, doctors inject a radioactive "tracer" into the patient. This tracer binds well to the protein PSMA, which is elevated in prostate cancer cells. Clinical trials have found that PSMA PET-CT scanning is better than conventional imaging at detecting metastasized prostate cancer.
PSMA PET-CT scanning also happens to be very good at detecting salivary gland tissue, which is also high in PSMA. Until now, there were three known large salivary glands in humans: one under the tongue, one under the jaw and one at the back of the jaw, behind the cheek. Beyond those, perhaps a thousand microscopic salivary glands are scattered throughout the mucosal tissue of the throat and mouth, study co-author and Netherlands Cancer Institute radiation oncologist Wouter Vogel said in a statement.
To confirm the discovery, Vogel and his colleagues imaged 100 patients (99 of them men due to the focus on prostate cancer) and found that all of them had the newly discovered glands. They also dissected that nasopharynx region from two cadavers from a human body donation program and found that the newfound region consisted of mucosal gland tissue and ducts draining into the nasopharynx.
The small Canadian town of Asbestos that decided it needed a rebrand has done away with the name derived from its mining heritage.
The Quebec town, home to some 7,000 people, voted for "Val-des-Sources" as its new moniker.
The town was once the location of the world's largest asbestos mine. It was given the English name for the mineral - rather than the French amiante - in the late 19th Century.
The town, about 150 km (95 miles) east of Montreal, finally announced the winning title with some fanfare on Monday evening.
