The Twilight Zone

This week's show is a pre-Halloween extravaganza that takes you to the Twilight Zone and points beyond (i.e., Idaho)! The Serlingesque shenanigans start with "Out of Limits" by The Marketts (1:57). The famous 4-note riff is present, along with triangle, organ, castanets, and French horn! The Marketts manage to throw the sound of Western and spy movies into the mix, too - whooo! The sinister second is a truly weird number: weird because it's either by Barry Ray OR Rich Cutcher and the Wildwoods (38:02). Most likely the latter ... this one has some steel guitar to add spooky atmospherics and rile the rockabilly kids. The mean minor third is "Wild Man" by The Tamrons, probably the coolest appropriation of the famed TZ riff (1:05:32). Is the song antiphonic or polyphonic? Who cares? - it's breathy, filthy and nawsty  and belongs in the garage under a tarp!!  The fiendish fourth is "Private Idaho" by The B-52s, a song supposedly based on an old episode of the famed show (1:42:12). Cool surf drums and guitar with the vocals you expect from Cindy, Fred, and Kate - what a way to (desc)end!
