The lure of the Halloween season remains strong with home producers. Once more this has enabled Jeremy Girard to compile over 4 hours of seasonal bootleg mixes to offer us as the 2019th edition of "Monster Mashups". He titled the collection " Monster Mashups To Play In The Dark", bringing the total of this series to 16 (!) yearly releases! Math is not my strong point, but that must equal at least a hundred discs! ( Lol )
This new comp features the same high quality from mixers like Voicedude, Stevo In Yr Stereo, me, DJ DryBowser, & even Burt Reynolds, plus many more. I advise checking out this
preview video from DRA'man called "Sweet Dragula" ( Rob Zombie vs Eurythmics )
( www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2fXz4v3b4I )
Count Girard describes the release best, with this text -
"The time has arrived...Monster Mashups To Play In the Dark! 3 spook-tacular Volumes of monstrous mashups and repulsive remixes! And 2 bone chilling bonuses!....Firstly, the long lost Cheekys Halloween Haunt 3 from the previous lord of the Monster Mashup castle; Cheekyboy!
And the other bonus is the over hour long Halloween Eerie Ambience 1984 (35th Anniversary Special Edition - Monster Mashup 2019 Exclusive) from the great Stevo In Yr Stereo of Nightmare City Halloween fame! 3 Volumes + the bonus = over 4hrs of spooky tunes for your ears to enjoy! So what are you waiting for? Click! Download! Listen! Enjoy! And share this news with every dark corner of the interwebs!".
This comp was begun, & has remained a yearly horror-stravaganza that satisfies all your Halloween bootleg needs. It's also much better for your constitution than fourteen snickers bars! No need to log in to grab the large

Josephine Wolff: The Chintzy Way Zappos Wants to Compensate Victims of a 2012 Data Breach (Slate)
The settlement, which was submitted for approval to the United States District Court for the District of Nevada in September, provides a 10-percent-off code for one Zappos order per affected customer, but the discount has to be used by 11:59 Pacific time on Dec. 31, 2019, or within 60 days of being distributed to affected customers, whichever is later. The deal has already received preliminary approval and is likely to be finalized in the coming weeks. It's an astonishing step backward in data breach settlements and a disheartening reminder of how easy it is for major companies to still walk away from data breaches with minimal consequences.
This song about an actress's facial features was Billboard's biggest hit of 1981 and also won the Grammy Awards for Song of the Year and Record of the Year. What is the title of this song?
Jonathan Luther "Casey" Jones (March 14, 1863 - April 30, 1900) from Jackson, Tennessee, was an American railroader who worked for the Illinois Central Railroad (IC). He was killed on April 30, 1900, when his train collided with the caboose of a stalled freight train near Vaughan, Mississippi. His dramatic death while trying to stop his train and save the lives of his passengers made him a hero; he was immortalized in a popular ballad sung by his friend Wallace Saunders, an African-American engine wiper for the IC.
Jones was born near Cayce, Kentucky, where he acquired the nickname of "Cayce", which he chose to spell as "Casey".

Dave responded:
Casey Jones. That was my guess and was a good one for a change. Jonathan 'Casey' Jones was a railroad engineer who in 1900 was unwisely racing his locomotive at high speed to meet his schedule and crashed into another train stopped on the tracks. While his fireman jumped off just before the collision Jones, heroically or stupidly, stayed at the controls until the crash trying to slow the locomotive as much as possible and perished. A railroad employee named Wallace Saunders, who was a friend of Casey's, composed the first version of "The Ballad of Casey Jones" and sang it publicly to the tune of a song popular at the time. Word spread among railroad employees and eventually a Vaudeville version of the song was copyrighted and published in 1909. Supposedly all Wallace Saunders ever got as a royalty payment was a bottle of gin. The Grateful Dead's 1970 song of the same name seems nothing like the earlier song. There is also a character named Casey Jones who appeared in the Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles TV cartoons.

Music: "Dance Just Like Annette"

• As a young art student at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Louise Bourgeois studied under painter Fernand Légar. In one class, Mr. Légar took a wood shaving and pinned it under a shelf for the students to draw. Ms. Bourgeois says, "I was very interested in the spiral of the shaving, the form it took and its trembling quality." As soon as Mr. Légar saw her drawing, he took her, "You are not a painter. You are a sculptor." He was right. Ms. Bourgeois became a renowned sculptor.
• When architect Frank Lloyd Wright first started offering fellowships at his own studio, called Taliesin, in Spring Green, Wisconsin, students arrived even before doors were hung at the entrances of their rooms. One student, William Wesley Peters, wanted to sleep behind a door, so he went to Mr. Wright's house, found a guest room, took its door, and started carrying it away. However, Mr. Wright's wife, Olgivanna, discovered what he was doing and stopped him.
• When James McNeill Whistler was at West Point, he was a much better artist than he was a horseback rider. Once he was riding in a line with some other cadets, when they all came to a stop. The other cadets stayed in the saddle, but Mr. Whistler pitched forward in front of his horse. His riding instructor, who was well accustomed to Mr. Whistler's failings as a rider, told him, "Mr. Whistler, I am pleased to see you for once at the head of your class."
• Sculptor David Smith attended Ohio University for a while, but he wasn't happy there: "I was required to use a little brush, a little pencil, to work on a little area, which put me in the position of knitting - not exactly my forte." Therefore, Mr. Smith transferred to Notre Dame, but not for long. Before transferring, he had forgotten to check to make sure that Notre Dame actually offered courses in art.
• A sculptor once had a child in kindergarten. For an entire year, the sculptor came into the kindergarten class - at the request of the teacher - once a week and "loved" clay. He didn't teach the children, but simply came in and "loved" clay. Just by watching the sculptor, the children also learned to "love" clay and became very creative with it.
• Landscape artist Joseph Turner (1775-1851) once was walking in the country with the Rev. Trimmer, when he saw a black cow standing against the sun. After looking at it carefully, he remarked that the cow's color was really purple, not black, as it was normally painted.
• Aliki Brandenberg, author/illustrator of such children's books as Mummies Made in Egypt and How a Book is Made, used to practice drawing her toes. Why? It was too hard to practice drawing her fingers, because she was using them.
Fame
• One problem with writing literature is that it doesn't pay well. Therefore, William Burroughs, author of Naked Lunch and Junkie, started making paintings when he was old and Beat poet Allen Ginsburg started making money from his photography when he was old. Mr. Burroughs used to make shotgun paintings: He would put paint cans in front of blank canvases and then shoot the paint cans. The resulting splatters of paint created the works of art, which were taken seriously in the art world. Mr. Ginsburg even had a coffee table book of his photographs published. Mr. Ginsburg was no fool: He knew what was going on. He said, "If you're famous, you can get away with anything! William Burroughs spent the last ten years painting, and makes a lot more money out of his painting than he does out of his previous writing. If you establish yourself in one field, it's possible that people then take you seriously in another. Maybe too seriously. I know lots of great photographers who are a lot better than me, who don't have a big, pretty coffee table book like I have. I'm lucky."

It's been a long road from page to screen for Isaac Asimov's iconic Foundation series, with the first real foothold coming last year when Apple announced it had snagged the rights for the streaming service now known as Apple TV+. Today, more news: Jared Harris (Chernobyl) and Lee Pace (Captain Marvel) have joined the cast.
And even better, we know who they'll be playing, per Deadline: "Pace plays Brother Day, the current Emperor of the Galaxy. Harris plays Hari Seldon, a mathematical genius who predicts the demise of the Empire."
Deadline also reminds us that the 10-episode series "chronicles the epic saga of the Foundation, a band of exiles who discover that the only way to save the Galactic Empire from destruction is to defy it," and that it's coming from Dark Knight's David Goyer (who will serve as showrunner), Sarah Connor Chronicles' Josh Friedman, and Skydance Television.
Though there's no word yet on when Foundation might be arriving on Apple TV+ (the service itself launches November 1), it'll be joining sci-fi programming that also includes Ron Moore's alt-history space race tale For All Mankind and Jason Momoa's post-apocalyptic fantasy See.
The most terrifying figures in human history are often the kind that hide in plain sight. John Wayne Gacy was a respected member of his community, but also a prolific murderer who kept dead bodies in a crawlspace; Ted Bundy had a family and worked at a suicide prevention hotline, but also maintained a collection of severed heads. Both men seemed perfectly normal. Nobody who knew them suspected just how wretched they really were.
Consider now the actor that cybersecurity company McAfee has just named 2019's "most dangerous celebrity": the Malware Monster herself, Alexis Bledel.
Bledel, best known for playing Gilmore Girls' Rory, seems like a perfectly nice person and, in her defense, her position as this year's "most dangerous celebrity online" has absolutely nothing to do with anything she herself has done. Time's Mark Kennedy, in an article describing McAfee's list, says that Bledel has earned her new infamy because "no other celebrity was more likely to land users on websites that carry viruses and malware" when their name was searched. Probably because of her role on The Handmaid's Tale, Bledel has become the posterchild of McAfee's ongoing campaign to "highlight the danger of clicking on suspicious links" associated with "famous names."
If this wasn't frightening enough, remember that McAfee (whose founder is no slouch in the "terrifying celebrity" department either) also names James Corden, Sophie Turner, and Anna Kendrick in its top 10 list of "dangerous" internet searches for 2019. Any one of these figures, innocent as they may seem, are just ready and waiting to ruin your life by turning your computer into a virus-ridden wreck. Do not trust Anna Kendrick's promises of free Photoshop downloads; turn away when Sophie Turner says she has leaked copies of upcoming Watchmen episodes; run for the hills when James Corden says he can get you a lifetime Netflix subscription by filling out a quick online survey. They are liars, all of them, their potential for horror hidden behind smiling, seemingly innocent faces.
The conversation on Tuesday between Vanity Fair editor-in-chief Radhika Jones and Disney chairman and CEO Bob Iger and filmmaker Jon Favreau was largely about the upcoming Disney+ streaming series Star Wars: The Mandalorian. But toward the end of their chat, Jones put the media conglom boss in the hot seat over his $66 million compensation last year, as well as his thoughts on a wealth tax that's being pitched by Democratic presidential candidates.
"We're in the middle of a really robust political conversation about excessive wealth, and the idea it's corrosive to democracy, and wondered what you thought about that and if specifically if either of you would support a wealth tax, of the kind that is being proposed by some of the Democratic candidates," Jones asked.
Iger explained that the stock award "was a one-time grant, it's not something that repeats itself year after year." He said the payout was on account of the Disney-Fox merger going through, his "involvement in the dealmaking" and "responsibilities" he was taking on in increasing the size of the company.
"I was given that because I was leaving Disney this year, and I was given that as part of an agreement for me to stay three years," defended Iger.
"I happen to believe that the whole subject of income inequality is very, very real. That companies like the Walt Disney Company and other large companies have a responsibility to look for solutions to improve the lives of the people who work for us. And we're doing just that including things for the roughly 90,000 employees in the United States, paying free education for them, whether its high school equivalency, college, graduate degree, vocational, and we're looking for more opportunities there. So, I happen to believe given where we are, societally today with a fair amount of challenge both political, social and economic, companies like Disney have a responsibility to step up and do their part."
A blockbuster retrospective of Leonardo da Vinci opens Thursday at the Louvre museum to mark 500 years since the death of the Renaissance master in the historic town of Amboise, France.
Nearly 200,000 people have already reserved their place in line for the exhibition, the biggest ever organised to showcase the Tuscan polymath's indelible contributions to humanity -- with an emphasis on his painting.
A decade in the planning, the show simply titled "Leonardo da Vinci" groups 162 works, including 24 drawings loaned by Queen Elizabeth II of Britain from the Royal Collection.
The British Museum, the Hermitage of Saint Petersburg and the Vatican have also contributed, as well as, of course, Italy -- after a sometimes acrimonious tug-of-war between Rome and Paris over the loans.
The exhibition in the Hall Napoleon features 11 of the 20 paintings definitively attributed to the Renaissance master, as well as drawings, manuscripts, sculptures and other objets d'art.
A county commissioner in Tennessee launched a tirade against the Democratic presidential field and the general state of white men in America on Monday during a debate about guns.
Warren Hurst, who sits on the Sevier County Commission, spoke up during a discussion on an upcoming vote to become a gun sanctuary city. He told the crowd, many of whom were holding little American flags, that it was time to "wake up people."
"We got a queer running for president if that ain't about as ugly as you can get," he said, in comments captured by Knoxville-based station WVLT. "Look what we got running for president in the Democratic Party. We can go over here to Hoss' jail [the Sevier County sheriff] and get better people out of there than those running for [the] Democratic [nomination] to be president of the United States."
"I'm not prejudiced, but by golly, a white male in this country has very few rights and they're getting took more every day," the commissioner added.
In a follow-up interview with WVLT, he stood by his comments and noted that he has some Black friends.
The potential for a global tree-planting drive to curb climate-change risks has been overestimated, scientists warned, flagging issues with maps and data used in a recent study and urging greater efforts to cut heat-trapping emissions by other means.
In July, researchers at the Crowther Lab, based at Swiss university ETH Zurich, published a study suggesting the best way to keep climate change in check would be to replant trees on destroyed forest areas the size of the United States.
But in a response letter published in the same journal Science on Friday, scientists at the University of Bonn and Nairobi-based research centre World Agroforestry said there were limits on the number of trees that could be grown on lands included in the initial study.
Eike Luedeling, a professor at the University of Bonn's Institute of Crop Sciences and Resource Conservation, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation that reforestation should not be seen as a substitute for curbing emissions from using fossil fuels.
"Yes, we can all plant trees... and if we still keep emitting carbon dioxide like crazy, we will not have solved anything - we just bought a little bit of time," he said. "If we want to control climate change, there is really only one answer... we have to cut emissions," he added by phone.
