contemplating... what would a duet of Imogen Heap and T-Pain sound like?

or would there be too much feedback?

Could you tell whose autotuned voice was singing?

I once won directly from calling into a radio station a pair of tickets to a live performance by a musical group called Uriah Heep.

The disc-jockey had asked who played Mr. Micawber in the 1935 motion picture adaptation of David Copperfield. Knowing that it was W.C. Fields, I rang him up.

It was most exhilarating.

I once won an album by calling a radio station. The album was a group named Cold Blood, sort of a rock band with horns, fronted by a female singer. When I played it for my father (we were living in Las Vegas at the time) he got very interested in one of the songs and it's arrangement. It seems the band leader at the hotel had stolen the very song and arrangement, said he had written it, and the band was playing it every night.

Former Smiths singer Morrissey has been taken to hospital after collapsing on stage with breathing difficulties.

Eyewitnesses said the 50-year-old fell to the floor during a performance of his former band's song This Charming Man at Oasis Leisure Centre in Swindon.

Former Smiths singer Morrissey is back on his feet again after being released from the hospital yesterday, The Associated Press reports. The 50-year-old singer collapsed on-stage on Saturday the 24th after performing the opening song, "This Charming Man," at the Oasis Leisure Centre in the UK. The singer slumped to the ground at the end of the song and was carried off stage by two of his band mates. No word yet on what caused the collapse, but the singer was in stable condition and was reportedly "much improved" before his discharge. Morrissey postponed his gig tonight in Bournemouth, but confirmed that he will play tomorrow night at London's Royal Albert Hall. His Swords tour is scheduled to continue throughout the UK and Ireland until the end of November.

I really didn't need to read details of his "discharge." Wink

Anyone else having Halloween festivities?

My office's annual Halloween party is today. I couldn't find my batman costume so I did a little mask making craftwork and bought one of those generic black hooded costumes and am startling people in the office as Kaonashi/No Face from Spirited Away. Boo!

Here in Eugene, Halloween has morphed into a strange hybrid of holiday and sporting event. The Ducks (U of O's football team) are playing Sat Night and it is THE big event. What a ripoff, how many children will be deprived of baskets of candy because everyone will be at the game or getting drunk.

When I was a kid you did your tricking and/or treating on the night of Halloween whether it was a "school night" or not, but last year when it was on a weekday there were events going on all week, both surrounding weekends, usually at malls, and because no one trusts their neighbors, especially in the dark, hardly anyone actually went out on Halloween NIGHT. In a way I find it sad but on the other hand I think I would have loved being able to go out multiple days of a whole Halloween week. awesome. So I feel a little sorry for kids who basically only get the one day. I bet parents are happy though.
