Ghost Riders In The Sky, Lawrence Welk Style
This 1961 Lawrence Welk Show clip might just comprise the coolest two minutes in the show's history. Guitarist Neil LeVang completely nails Ghost Riders In The Sky, along with considerable help and atmospherics from the entire LW Orchestra.

Kogar's Spooky Spectacular
Ichiban Head Honcho Debbie D was kind enough to let me post a Halloween themed compilation I put together last year for my myspace blog. It's been retooled a little bit and Michael Deforge did an amazing "cover" for it. Check out his website for more amazing work.

When I put this together I wanted to stay away from the usual novelty type Halloween songs. That's why something like THE FABULOUS WAILERS lead it off with a great eerie instrumental. Listen to that song and try NOT to think of people barricaded in a house fighting marauding (slow moving!) zombies!
Enjoy, and Happy Halloween...

Hawaii Five Oh No!
CBS has announced that they've finally cleared all the legal hurdles and are moving forward with plans to revive Hawaii Five-O.
Will it be worthwhile? Are remade television series (or feature films, for that matter) ever very exciting? I'm dubious. If you're hungering for the originals, CBS has posted quite a few full-length episodes from the show's first 2 seasons.
Below is a pretty fascinating clip, showing the retooled open from a 1990s attempt to get the show back on the air. Believe it or not, Garey Busey was to star in the Steve McGarrett role.
