Halloween remains a favorite holiday of mine. A manifestation of that enchantment is my yearly Halloween mashup ep's. They've received a warm welcome for 9 years in a row, so I was highly motivated to release a tenth anniversary collection. I've already read a track-by-track review of the entire project from one satisfied listener. Comments are often scarce, so a detailed positive response like that represents many others who never say a word. ( In bootleg circles, these are known as "leechers", aka "Those who partake without comment". ) It's really gratifying when you get praise of this nature from some cat you don't know. ;)
"DJ Useo - Halloween ep 2017" is my tenth annual Samhain bootleg release, & I feel it's also notable for the tracks included. Here's some examples of the content within -
01 - Walking On Frankensteins Moon ( The Police vs Edgar Winter Group )
02 - My Generation Buried Alive ( Avenged Sevenfold vs The Who )
03 - Monster Mash de Victoires ( Bobby "Boris" Pickett vs The Stranglers )
( There's also 3 unlisted bonus tracks included in this album. I mention this only to you Bartcop readers. Everyone else will find that fact out on their own. )
Next week I'll have for you the new, large collection of Halloween mashups from Jeremy Girard, & company.
The seasonal blends are by no means at an end. I've heard a preview of the collection, & it's awesome.
This novelty song was the #1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart in October, 1962, but was banned by the BBC as "too morbid". This perennial holiday favorite also appeared in the U.S. Billboard charts in 1970 and 1973. What is the title of this song?
In Ireland and Scotland, the turnip has traditionally been carved during Halloween, but immigrants to North America used the native pumpkin, which is both much softer and much larger - making it easier to carve than a turnip. The American tradition of carving pumpkins is recorded in 1837 and was originally associated with harvest time in general, not becoming specifically associated with Halloween until the mid-to-late 19th century.

Michigan's favorite renaissance man, Jeff Daniels, will premiere his latest play, focused on the Flint water crisis, in early 2018. Simply titled "Flint," the play is set to open in January at the Purple Rose Theatre Company, which Daniels founded in his hometown of Chelsea in 1991.
Daniels has played our State Theatre, a restored downtown art deco treasure, here in Bay City (Madonna's birthplace and she'll say so), but I haven't been able to catch him...
Until now...
I got tickets...
I'll let ya know how it goes... Ben is his son, by the way...

PS - I was born in Flint (8 months before Michael Moore, so I have seniority) and fondly remember those days of my youth during the 60's when Flint was a vibrant, successful city. My 'famous' Uncle Bob, a retired GM skilled tradesman (and member of the Michigan Motorsports Hall of Fame) still lives there. But, I despair thinking if Flint will ever become so again...

Borowitz keeps knocking them out of the park! Defeated by DeVos and what's-the-3rd-thing-Perry! The slam on Eric is priceless. Cynthia shared the below.
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)-In an I.Q.-test tournament devised by Donald Trump to determine the smartest person in his Administration, Trump suffered a humiliating defeat on Tuesday, getting knocked out in the first round by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.
Trump had personally created the brackets for the tournament, which he had hoped would lead to an I.Q.-championship showdown between him and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
"He was determined to face Betsy in the first round," a White House source said of Trump. "He thought it would be like a bye week."

Apple is looking to make a splash as it jumps into the original content arms race, nearing a deal with iconic director Steven Spielberg's Amblin Television and NBCUniversal to reboot the 1980s sci-fci series "Amazing Stories."
The move marks a strategic coup for Jamie Erlicht and Zack Van Amburg, the former Sony execs hired by Apple earlier this year to build its stable of original programming.
"It's wonderful to be reunited with our colleagues Zack and Jamie in their new capacity at Apple," said Jennifer Salke, President, NBC Entertainment, in a statement. "We love being at the forefront of Apple's investment in scripted programming, and can't think of a better property than Spielberg's beloved "Amazing Stories" franchise with the genius of Bryan Fuller at the helm and more exciting creative partnerships to come."
The original "Amazing Stories," which was created and produced by Spielberg, ran from 1985-1987 on NBC. It failed to catch on with audiences, but did score five Emmys - including a directing win for Spielberg for "The Mission," starring a young Kevin Costner as a World War II gunner pilot.
"Hannibal" creator Bryan Fuller is writing the new "Amazing Stories," and will be joined by Amblin's Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey as executive producers on the series.

Mensa has offered to give IQ tests to Donald Trump (R-Crooked) and Rex Tillerson (R-Exxon), after the President-for-now boasted that he would have a higher score than his secretary of State.
Responding to reports that Mr Tillerson had called him a "moron" - which Mr Tillerson denies - Mr Trump suggested that he has a higher IQ than his top cabinet member.
Mensa, a selective international society whose only qualification for membership is an IQ score within the top two percent of the general population, says it would be happy to conduct such a test if the President wants.
"American Mensa would be happy to hold a testing session for President Trump and Secretary Tillerson," Charles Brown, communications director for the organization, told the Hill.
President-for-now Donald Trump (R-Racist) weighed in on ESPN's decision to suspend anchor Jemele Hill, resorting to one of his favorite jabs about television networks when he's unhappy with their coverage: their ratings.
Hill was suspended for two weeks for twice violating the sports network's social media guidelines, according to a company statement. The first infraction was when she called Trump a "white supremacist" on Twitter. The second came when she suggested a boycott of advertisers associated with the Dallas Cowboys after team owner Jerry Jones told players he would bench them if they refused to stand during the national anthem.
"Jerry Jones also has created a problem for his players, specifically the black ones. If they don't kneel, some will see them as sellouts," Hill tweeted on Sunday. She later added, "Change happens when advertisers are impacted ... If you strongly reject what Jerry Jones said, the key is his advertisers."
Advocates have since denounced the network's suspension of Hill. "ESPN's decision to suspend Jemele Hill is a flagrant suppression of Black voices in sports," Rashad Robinson, executive director of Color Of Change, said in a statement. "The company's new social media guidelines were not created until Black employees and athletes began to prominently speak out against our country's racial injustices. By choosing to ban its reporters' opinions, ESPN is making an explicitly political decision to side with the Trump administration on the wrong side of history."
Meanwhile, ESPN seems unconvinced that politics are substantially affecting its ratings, citing a study by an outside research firm in June that found it's the "highest-rated full-time cable network among Men and Adults aged 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54." Last week, ratings for ESPN's "Monday Night Football" were up again, and it was the night's top-rated show for the fourth straight week.

The last Leonardo Da Vinci painting still in the hands of a private collector will go under the hammer next month in New York, the Christie's auction house said Tuesday, estimating its worth at $100 million.
Dating from around 1500, "Salvator Mundi" -- which depicts Jesus Christ as the world's savior -- was long believed to be a copy of an original by the Italian master, until it was eventually certified as authentic.
Fewer than 20 works by Da Vinci, whose art was already highly sought after during his lifetime, have survived to this day -- all of them held in museum or institutional collections, with the exception of "Salvator Mundi."
As a general rule, very few pre-19th-century artworks remain in private ownership, and it is extremely rare for one of them to be offered at auction.
The work will travel to Hong Kong, San Francisco and London, before spending three days on display in New York leading up to the sale.
Three congressional committees are scuffling over a former British spy's reports that are central to investigations into U.S. allegations that Russia tried to help Donald Trump's (R-Tainted) 2016 presidential campaign, people involved in the inquiries said.
The dossier assembled by former MI6 officer Christopher Steele outlined Russian financial and personal links to Trump's campaign and associates. The Senate Intelligence Committee and special counsel Robert Mueller are looking into possible collusion between Russia and Trump's campaign and Mueller's investigators have met with Steele.
However, the Republican chairmen of the House Intelligence and Senate Judiciary committees are challenging the dossier's credibility and one has implied that Russians may have played a role in its preparation, sources familiar with the inquiries said.
The duel is not purely partisan. Senator Richard Burr, the Republican chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, and Mark Warner, the committee's ranking Democrat, are leading what other committee members from both parties called a serious effort to pursue the allegations dug up by Steele.

The New Yorker published a bombshell report on Harvey Weinstein on Tuesday, that alleges the embattled mogul raped three women, including actress Asia Argento.
The story, written by Ronan Farrow, claims Weinstein forcibly performed or received oral sex and also forced vaginal sex on women. It also contains on-the-record accounts from Mira Sorvino and Rosanna Arquette of encounters or business meetings with Weinstein that devolved into being propositioned sexually. The deeply reported story will likely exacerbate Weinstein's problems at a time when reports of previous instances of harassment have left him ostracized in Hollywood and fighting for his professional life.
"I know he has crushed a lot of people before," Argento said in the story. "That's why this story - in my case, it's twenty years old, some of them are older - has never come out."
Sorvino, who won an Oscar appearing in "Mighty Aphrodite" for Miramax, Weinstein's company, told Farrow that Weinstein "harassed her" and pressured her to have a sexual relationship while she appeared in films for Miramax. At the Toronto Film Festival in 1995, she claims he propositioned her, and later showed up weeks later at her apartment after midnight.
In addition, the New Yorker piece also reports that four women experienced unwanted physical contact with Weinstein, that "could be classified as an assault." Weinstein also allegedly exposed himself to women or masturbated in their presence.
A Utah police officer was fired Tuesday after being seen on video roughly handcuffing a nurse because she refused to allow a blood draw in an incident that became a flashpoint in the national conversation about use of force.
Salt Lake City Police Chief Mike Brown made the decision to fire Detective Jeff Payne after an internal investigation found he violated department policies when he arrested nurse Alex Wubbels and dragged her screaming from the hospital, department spokesman Sgt. Brandon Shearer said.
Brown said in a disciplinary letter that he was "deeply troubled" by Payne's conduct, which he described as "inappropriate, unreasonable, unwarranted, discourteous, disrespectful" and said brought "significant disrepute" on the department.
Payne's supervisor, Lt. James Tracy, was demoted to officer. His lawyer, Ed Brass, couldn't immediately be reached.
Wubbels' attorney, Karra Porter, said they are pleased that Brown took action and recognized that the officers made crucial mistakes that have eroded public trust. Porter said she hopes the events are a catalyst to more public conversations about appropriate police behavior.
South Africa and Chad on Sunday signed an agreement that will see the re-introduction next year of critically endangered black rhino to the central African country, decades after it was last seen there.
Environment ministers from the two countries signed a memorandum of understanding "which will allow for the translocation of six black rhino from South Africa to Chad," said a government statement.
The last time a rhino was spotted in Chad was in 1972, according to official documents Chad submitted to South Africa.
The animals should be airlifted to Chad's Zakouma National Park "sometime next year. We are looking at around March, April or May" environmental affairs ministry spokesman Albi Modise told AFP.
Black rhino are officially listed as critically endangered but are still native to the mainly eastern and southern African countries of Angola, Kenya, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania and Zimbabwe.
