09/13/2006: Fright Bites and a new Halloween Jukebox!

I have a feeling you’re going to want what today’s Halloween Countdown entry is about. Made by Snak King, it’s “Fright Bites,” the only tortilla chips in history shaped and colored like bats, pumpkins and ghosts! They’re better in concept than execution, but even a shittily executed bat-shaped tortilla chip is welcomed.

I have a friend who chooses to go by the name “Tummi” whenever I mention him on the site. I’m not sure why; he’s never expressed any major love for Disney’s Gummi Bears. But, as he’s been a big help behind the scenes, I’ll call him what he wants.

Aside from handling a lot of the backstage encoding, Tummi is responsible for the holiday jukeboxes. This year, he’s revitalized the Halloween Jukebox with a new order, new songs and new hidden messages meant to inspire you to kill people. Click here to give it a listen! New songs include everything from the Count Duckula theme to MC Hammer rappin’ philosophical about the Addams Family. There was only so much he could do with the pitiful amount of real Halloween songs available, but I think it’s pretty rockin. Thank you TUMMI. The new juke is also linked in all of the 2006 Countdown entries for easy access.

Invader Norbert: did they play “A Quick One”? That was always my favorite.

Ghosted by Deuce @ 09/14/2006 2:00 PM EDT

OOOOOHoohoo, a diehard Nightmare fan, who happens to be a friend of mine, well let’s just say he holds FOB and P!ATD as satanic as he holds Nightmare holy.

Can’t wait to tell him. At least I’ll like the remakes :)

An updated Halloween jukebox? Pure awesome. I know I downloaded at least half of the songs from the only one and put them on my regualr playlist.

Goob: Fergully wasn’t Disney, it was 20th Century Fox. It does feature the almighty Tim Curry.

Ghosted by Spoodles @ 09/14/2006 2:09 PM EDT

i leave way too many comments on these blogs, but i have no one else to talk to. i am lame.

spoodles; it also features Robin Williams. who is Batty. and anytime Robin Williams gets to rap, I’m going to be listening.

yeah, the whole Nightmare Before Christmas thing is unsettling. I love me some Fall Out Boy, but I just don’t think you’re supposed to mess with that stuff. What are they going to do next? CGi Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer with Fall Out Boy covering “We’re A Couple of Misfits”? oh dear, lord. that sounds almost too perfect for them. let’s hope they don’t read this.

I’d like Patrick as the Snowman. No offense to Burl Ives, but hey, you gotta pick your loyalties.

Is it wrong that I want to put Pete’s Gap Ad on my wall of clippings? :P

Ghosted by Knegative @ 09/14/2006 2:23 PM EDT

As a direhard Clandestine Industries whore/fan (see my portfolio in my blog), I was very very upset at Pete’s Gap ad. that face he’s making is so random. And the fact that the first time I saw it was on a bus when I was visiting NYC was even weirder. He needs to stick to the Clan. speaking of which, have you seen the video of the Clandestine Industries fashion show? it’s on youtube and it’s the saddest thing ive ever seen…scene?

Patrick would be an adorable snowman. So long as Joe gets to be the Abominable Snowman. Thats what he gets for being Jewish.

Ghosted by brianfax. @ 09/14/2006 2:28 PM EDT

Yeah, it caught me offguard the first time I saw it. But then my whole “you can never have too many people questioning which side you hit for” instincts kicked in, and I’m like this is going to eventually adorn my wall.

Does anyone else wonder what Bitner is doing for Halloween?

Boo old jukebox, hooray for the new jukebox! Hooray beer!

brianfax — You get the new Cursive disc yet? Tim Kasher is an effin’ genius. Screwed up, yes, but still an effin’ genius. Proves yet again that emo isn’t all about teenagers crying about breaking up with their girlfriends.

Ghosted by LemurCat @ 09/14/2006 3:02 PM EDT

Duece: Probably, I didn’t know the titles of a good # of songs they played (like, I knew that “Teenage Wasteland” isn’t the title of that song, it’s something else, but I don’t remember it. They did play this one, and it was awesome)

Plus, at around 3/4 or so into the concert, Pete Townsend was talking about the stage, and he says at the end of this “…I think I’m some sort of Rock Star.” Probably from now on, I’m gonna use that for my XE name

Ghosted by Invader "...I think I'm some sort of Rock Star" Norbert @ 09/14/2006 3:03 PM EDT

That song isn’t called Teenage Wasteland? What the heck is it called then?

Ghosted by jazzy @ 09/14/2006 3:06 PM EDT

Isn’t it Baba O Riley (sp?). That’s what Wikipedia said, because I wasn’t sure of my hunch, and they seem to confirm it.

I could still be wrong.

Ghosted by Knegative @ 09/14/2006 3:11 PM EDT

Boo scary foot doctors! Hooray beer!

You know those commercials are good when they pretty much brainwash you into buying Red Stripe beer. It’s not bad though, that is, if you like dark beers. I still prefer my Shiner Bock.

Ghosted by Deuce @ 09/14/2006 3:17 PM EDT

You all make my head hurt.

OF COURSE IT’S BABA O’RILEY! Jesus, what’s wrong with you all? Are you so thoroughly lacking in good music that you don’t even know The Who? My God! What next? Don’t tell me you don’t know who Bob Dylan is? Or Joe Strummer? Or Jimmy Paige and Robert Plant?

I’m so thoroughly depressed by you all.

Ghosted by LemurCat @ 09/14/2006 3:18 PM EDT

Do you know who Raine Maida is? :D

Ghosted by Knegative @ 09/14/2006 3:23 PM EDT

He’s the frontman for Our Lady Peace. Nice try, K-Neg. And produced that pseudo-punk rawk chick April Levine, I mean Avril Lavigne.

And Roger Daltry can kick his ass.

Ghosted by LemurCat @ 09/14/2006 3:26 PM EDT

Gah. That Grinning Ghouls/Ghosts/whatever song from Haunted Mansion! I remember hearing that in a really cool Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 video a long time ago. I don’t suppose anyone else knows what I’m talking about, do they?

Ghosted by ChibiSoma @ 09/14/2006 3:43 PM EDT

I know that we’re barely into the Halloween season here, but I’ve stumbled across some Christmas goodness that I just had to share. Click my name if you’re one of the many (like me) who grew up celebrating the arrival of the annual Sears Wish-Book almost as much as Christmas Day itself.

Ghosted by The Yeti @ 09/14/2006 3:51 PM EDT

Anybody see that Blue Man Group thing on PBS recently? They performed a interesting arrangement of Baba O’Riley that used the Backpack Tubulum and Piano Smasher. (Never thought I’d type a sentence like that.) Could have used a different vocalist, though.

Ghosted by kingklash @ 09/14/2006 4:42 PM EDT

Oh hell yes I have the new cursive disc. One of my many jobs is at a record store, so I got my greedy hands on a promo copy 3 weeks ahead of the release date.

And I don’t know if I already mentioned it, but cursive is playing in my town ON MY BIRTHDAY (november 16th…ill be 20). Annnnnnddd Jeremy Enigk may open for them. If you don’t know who Jeremy Enigk is, he’s the frontman for the amazing early-90s TRUE emo outfit Sunny Day Real Estate. Omfg. I’m a mega fanboy right now. Haha

PS – matt, X-E is NOT Sidekick friendly. I’m at work and i m not allowed to read magazines, but they can’t take my “phone” away

Ghosted by brianfax @ 09/14/2006 5:29 PM EDT

You do all know that it is commonly accepted (and credited by Csi: NY) as TEENAGE WASTELAND. The last such mockery was on this season of Rockstar Supernova.

Ghosted by Old E @ 09/14/2006 6:04 PM EDT

Holy Jeezus…that Halloween Mega-Mix on the jukebox is something else. I can feel little horn-nubs start to poke at the surface of my forehead when I listen to it.

Ghosted by The Yeti @ 09/14/2006 7:00 PM EDT

Thank you LemurCat for being unnecessarily rude, unless you were being histrionic for comedic effect and it just didn’t translate well in text.

I happen to know who all those people are. I just didn’t know that song was called Baba O’Reilly, for you see, when I listen to the song I hear the words “teenage wasteland” about 400 times and the words “Baba O’Reilly” zero times. Nor has ANYONE ever told me the name of the song.

I hardly think not knowing the name of one song that came out when my mom was a teenager means I don’t like good music. Do you know who Franz Liszt is? Do you? Hmm?

Ghosted by jazzy @ 09/14/2006 7:01 PM EDT

Ahh, love the countdown so far! Hehe, the chips are pretty interesting. I’ll haveta keep an eye out. But I soooo love the jukebox too. Great songs. Am I the only one who absolutely adores the Headless Horseman song?

BTW, hehe does that mean you’re going to do a review for Count Duckula, Matt?^_^ Hehe, it was such a great show, though I had forgotten how overly brittish-y it was hehe, though that made it sort of cooler.

Ghosted by emosewa @ 09/14/2006 7:34 PM EDT

Those chips are totally Jesus in Chip form. Worship them!

I’ll never forget my favorite Halloween program ever. It was a Disney hour-or-so-long collection of all kinds of spooky stuff, from the genuinely spooky (The Chernobyl scene from Fantasia) to the funny (Donald Duck’s cousins always get a laugh out of me).

Everyday I chastise myself for having recorded over my VHS of it with Gremlins… mostly just because I accidently recorded over Gremlins too.

Ghosted by Spanky @ 09/14/2006 7:41 PM EDT

thank ya Spoodles for correcting me I haven’t seen the movie in a while (we used to have a tape as a kid but I think someone borrowed it and never returned it)

And yes brianfax you doing the cabbage patch in the shower is creepy. Even though I think anyone doing that would be creepy.

Ghosted by Goob @ 09/14/2006 7:58 PM EDT

That’s right…Baba O’Riley, they did mention the title quite a few times during the show (plus a new song that has a computer-produced intro similar to it which is pretty sweet, but doesn’t compare to the live guitar)

And after seeing him in person, I’m getting on the bandwagon with LemurCat that Roger Daltry can definately kick Raine Maida’s ass.

Ghosted by Invader Norbert @ 09/14/2006 8:00 PM EDT

Oh Invader Norbert. *pat**pat* I had my first fic MSTed at 14 and a page on Portal of Evil at 15, so I’ve been dealing with fuckheads on the internet since day 1.

I’ve never gotten anything I’ve written on Fark, even that time I wrote about KFC bowls and a month later they posted some LA Times article your had to subscribe for and that had no images on it. :P No one online appreciates me. Except Robert Berry. :(

Ghosted by the Meh teh @ 09/14/2006 8:36 PM EDT

Kick Raine Maida’s ass? I think not. Relinquish your pain unto him, kinda like with Bono, except you really have faith in Raine. and don’t find him to be a pompous ass.

Raine has just about the only justified messiah complex I have ever seen. All Hail Our Lady Peace.

This is where kb beats MY ass, right?

Ghosted by Knegative @ 09/14/2006 9:04 PM EDT

Is Our Lady Peace the band that did Superman’s Dead? If that’s so,then I guess Raine Meada is the name of the guy I have to kick in the balls.

Ghosted by Kid Nicky @ 09/14/2006 9:13 PM EDT

yeah, as a matter of fact it is. Wanna do something about it? Hands down, my vote for best voice ever in the history of mankind. Adam Duritz comes in a close second. Gerard Way, third.

Hahaha, hate me, hate me, hate me!!!

Ghosted by Knegative @ 09/14/2006 9:15 PM EDT

goob: i really don’t see what’s so wrong with my naked, wet body doing the cabbage patch in my shower. i mean, c’mon. that’s something to be cherished atleast.

Cause I’m a real fruit bat and I’m ready to rap,
I’m ready to snap,
I suffer from cyanica and chapped lips,
And shockage,
Like a rocket in my pocket and a need to scratch,
But now I can’t stop it,
I’m Batty…

0_o what was this song about, again?

Ghosted by brianfax. @ 09/14/2006 9:31 PM EDT

I was like 9 or 10 or something when Ferngully came out and I was embarrassed over watching something with the Batty Rap in it even BACK THEN. Jeez… I liked the movie alright though. Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind was a much better example of a universally appealing animated flick that tackles enviromental issues. they really arent comparable I know… just had to mention it.

Ghosted by kittycatgirl2k @ 09/14/2006 10:34 PM EDT

Don Bluth made ferngully. He worked for disney for a bit before he went on his own and made “Secret of Nimh” He also made my fave cartoon movie of all time…American Tail !!!

He also made ROck a Doodle, Land Before time, all dogs go to heaven, Anastasia,

“there are no cats in america and the streets are made of chee-eese. “

“somebody’s watching me” is by rockwell, not michael jackson.

Ghosted by allie @ 09/15/2006 12:57 AM EDT

Jazzy — Franz Liszt was a 19th century Hungarian composer. Not my favorite, as I prefer the Russian composers from when I went through my Russophile stage in college. As for my “histrionics”, I actually don’t blame you for not knowing the proper title of Baba O’Riley. I blame your parents. They probably didn’t expose you to proper rock ‘n roll well. Yes, that’s a joke. And I’m glad you’ve heard of Bob Dylan. The world is a better place for it.

brianfax — Happy Early Birthday, and that’s a helluva present to get. Enjoy.

K-Neg — Roger Daltry is a Rock God. Raine Maida is a second-tier Canadian artist who never really caught on in the States. Sorry, dude, truth hurts. I liked OLP though. Good hard rock with a thoughtful edge. Which is prolly why it didn’t really catch on in the States. And with no Roger Daltry there would be no Raine Maida. Quadraphenia. I say no more.

Allie — Rockwell was the son of Michael Jackson’s producer, Berry Gordy. Which explains why Michael — in his pre-nutbag height of fame — was caught providing “guest vocals” on such a track. Jermaine’s vocals are completely understand able. But Michael’s? Still makes me wonder what Berry had on him.

By the by, the bestest voice in history is James Brown. He don’t even have to sing real words to be understood.
