	10:21pm Richard S: Here we go! Here come the Martian Martians!
	10:21pm efd: omg this is so great already! (I didn't re-listen to the whole thing before tonight)
	10:25pm fleep: very proggy martians
	10:25pm Alex of Chicago: Greatest ever?
	10:28pm Kat in Chicago: Better than I expected, so far.
	10:31pm iandiareii: Richard Burton narrating? Burtonesque at least.
	10:32pm On the Yazoo: Liam Neeson
	10:32pm efd: Burton himself!
	10:32pm ! I X Key !: For Halloween I'm this sonnet by John Keats! On the Grasshopper and Cricket The Poetry of earth is never dead: When all the birds are faint with the hot sun, And hide in cooling trees, a voice will run From hedge to hedge about the new-mown mead; That is the Grasshopper’s—he takes the lead In summer luxury,—he has never done With his delights; for when tired out with fun He rests at ease beneath some pleasant weed. The poetry of earth is ceasing never: On a lone winter evening, when the frost Has wrought a silence, from the stove there shrills The Cricket’s song, in warmth increasing ever, And seems to one in drowsiness half lost, The Grasshopper’s among some grassy hills.
	10:33pm ! I X Key !: What are you?
	10:34pm efd: Liam Neeson narrated the New Generation remake in the early 2010s
	10:35pm efd: Chris Spedding is playing guitar, btw
	10:35pm On the Yazoo: Ahh..
	10:38pm Julie M: Spedding, yes. And there's nothing wrong with a deep-voiced Welsh accent for the narrative.
	10:39pm Mr. Pumpy: liquid hot MAGMA
	10:39pm daveB from Oakland: the repeating banjo(?) motif is very odd
	10:42pm Mr. Pumpy: I'm going to get impaled by Satan. See you all down below.
	10:46pm Ken From Hyde Park: David Essex who did "Rock On"? I imagine so.
	10:47pm efd: That's the one, Ken!
	10:48pm Alex of Chicago: I'm using this music in my doc about R/C buggy racing in the late 80s and early 90s.
	10:49pm efd: I was excited at first that one of the LPs in this set had side 1 and side 4, and the other had side 2 and side 3, thinking I wouldn't have to worry about flipping a record over and cueing it up but I just realized I'm going to need to do that with this record.
	10:50pm efd: ooh, I love it Alex!
	10:52pm Kat in Chicago: I remember this song!
	10:52pm Uncle Michael: collated for record changers, Evan...cool.
	10:52pm efd: This was a decent-sized hit back in the day!
	10:53pm On the Yazoo: I remember this track
	10:53pm Richard S: Classic song for the season.
	10:53pm efd: @Uncle Michael yeah, I forgot that I'm not really a record changer! :D
	10:53pm Julie M: Yeah, I remember this song too as a Moody Blues song, but I never knew about the WOTW thing.
	10:55pm efd: As Uncle Michael pointed out to me earlier, this song started out as a Lego TV commercial (!!) in the late '60s.
	10:55pm DJ E: This is pretty sweet. Thanks efd! I remember my grandmother telling me about being around for the Orson Welles broadcast. in the 30's.
	10:55pm Alex of Chicago: That early. Interesting.
	10:55pm Bill W: I wonder if Burton wrote about this project in his voluminous diaries?
	10:56pm efd: Julie I don't think it was even a Moody Blues release! Just Justin Hayward solo (I mean, solo with this ridiculous band/orchestration)
	10:57pm efd: the Wiki entry for "Forever Autumn": en.wikipedia.org...
	10:58pm Julie M: Oh, I stand corrected. I hear Justin Heyward and I think Moody Blues.
	10:58pm gw: I love this song And have since 71
	10:59pm Mike Sin: I'm all ready for Phil Lynott to show up!
	11:00pm efd: coming up on Side 3!
	11:00pm Ken From Hyde Park: I'd like to see that Lego commercial. There are plenty of covers, suitable for a Mary Wing feature, perhaps.
	11:00pm efd: Reasonable reaction, Julie!
	11:02pm Richard S: Great essay on this version of WOTW: mezzanottecinema.com...
	11:02pm Alex of Chicago: i have such visions in my head about the musicians
	11:07pm Joel: Anyone else remember the 'Intergalactic Touring Band' concept album put out by Passport records ? Not horror(esque) but a science fiction themed musical extravaganza with very eclectic cast of performers
	11:08pm takalado: for this halloween i am Left Out
	11:09pm Kat in Chicago: Julie, I assumed it was a Moody Blues track too.
	11:09pm Squigs: I Rokk by Kasvot Vaxt? lol
	11:10pm efd: ??
	11:11pm Richard S: Kat and Julie: Justin Hayward was the front man for Moody Blues......
	11:12pm efd: I'm pretty sure they're both aware of that, Richard
	11:13pm Richard S: ....yeah....
	11:15pm daveB from Oakland: the martian are back in town (the martians are back in town)
	11:15pm Joel: He should break into 'The Martians Are Back In Town' next :-)
	11:15pm DJ E: @Squiggs Phish tonight?

	11:28pm Ken From Hyde Park: Yay, within $200 of the goal! I'm really enjoying this as I sit here with a sugar buzz. Not too many tricksters dropped by tonight.
	11:39pm johnk77: another great show @efd @richards the dick asher who made the rcord deal on this is 1 of the main characters in frederic dannen's 1990 music biz expose hit men...

	10:32pm efd: Burton himself!
	10:32pm ! I X Key !: For Halloween I'm this sonnet by John Keats! On the Grasshopper and Cricket The Poetry of earth is never dead: When all the birds are faint with the hot sun, And hide in cooling trees, a voice will run From hedge to hedge about the new-mown mead; That is the Grasshopper’s—he takes the lead In summer luxury,—he has never done With his delights; for when tired out with fun He rests at ease beneath some pleasant weed. The poetry of earth is ceasing never: On a lone winter evening, when the frost Has wrought a silence, from the stove there shrills The Cricket’s song, in warmth increasing ever, And seems to one in drowsiness half lost, The Grasshopper’s among some grassy hills.
	10:33pm ! I X Key !: What are you?
	10:34pm efd: Liam Neeson narrated the New Generation remake in the early 2010s
	10:35pm efd: Chris Spedding is playing guitar, btw
	10:35pm On the Yazoo: Ahh..
	10:38pm Julie M: Spedding, yes. And there's nothing wrong with a deep-voiced Welsh accent for the narrative.
	10:39pm Mr. Pumpy: liquid hot MAGMA
	10:39pm daveB from Oakland: the repeating banjo(?) motif is very odd
	10:42pm Mr. Pumpy: I'm going to get impaled by Satan. See you all down below.
	10:46pm Ken From Hyde Park: David Essex who did "Rock On"? I imagine so.
	10:47pm efd: That's the one, Ken!
	10:48pm Alex of Chicago: I'm using this music in my doc about R/C buggy racing in the late 80s and early 90s.
	10:49pm efd: I was excited at first that one of the LPs in this set had side 1 and side 4, and the other had side 2 and side 3, thinking I wouldn't have to worry about flipping a record over and cueing it up but I just realized I'm going to need to do that with this record.
	10:50pm efd: ooh, I love it Alex!
	10:52pm Kat in Chicago: I remember this song!
	10:52pm Uncle Michael: collated for record changers, Evan...cool.
	10:52pm efd: This was a decent-sized hit back in the day!
	10:53pm On the Yazoo: I remember this track
	10:53pm Richard S: Classic song for the season.
	10:53pm efd: @Uncle Michael yeah, I forgot that I'm not really a record changer! :D
	10:53pm Julie M: Yeah, I remember this song too as a Moody Blues song, but I never knew about the WOTW thing.
	10:55pm efd: As Uncle Michael pointed out to me earlier, this song started out as a Lego TV commercial (!!) in the late '60s.
	10:55pm DJ E: This is pretty sweet. Thanks efd! I remember my grandmother telling me about being around for the Orson Welles broadcast. in the 30's.
	10:55pm Alex of Chicago: That early. Interesting.
	10:55pm Bill W: I wonder if Burton wrote about this project in his voluminous diaries?
	10:56pm efd: Julie I don't think it was even a Moody Blues release! Just Justin Hayward solo (I mean, solo with this ridiculous band/orchestration)
	10:57pm efd: the Wiki entry for "Forever Autumn": en.wikipedia.org...
	10:58pm Julie M: Oh, I stand corrected. I hear Justin Heyward and I think Moody Blues.
	10:58pm gw: I love this song And have since 71
	10:59pm Mike Sin: I'm all ready for Phil Lynott to show up!
	11:00pm efd: coming up on Side 3!
	11:00pm Ken From Hyde Park: I'd like to see that Lego commercial. There are plenty of covers, suitable for a Mary Wing feature, perhaps.
	11:00pm efd: Reasonable reaction, Julie!
	11:02pm Richard S: Great essay on this version of WOTW: mezzanottecinema.com...
	11:02pm Alex of Chicago: i have such visions in my head about the musicians
	11:07pm Joel: Anyone else remember the 'Intergalactic Touring Band' concept album put out by Passport records ? Not horror(esque) but a science fiction themed musical extravaganza with very eclectic cast of performers
	11:08pm takalado: for this halloween i am Left Out
	11:09pm Kat in Chicago: Julie, I assumed it was a Moody Blues track too.
	11:09pm Squigs: I Rokk by Kasvot Vaxt? lol
	11:10pm efd: ??
	11:11pm Richard S: Kat and Julie: Justin Hayward was the front man for Moody Blues......
	11:12pm efd: I'm pretty sure they're both aware of that, Richard
	11:13pm Richard S: ....yeah....
	11:15pm daveB from Oakland: the martian are back in town (the martians are back in town)
