Some treats aren’t meant to sit in that bowl of scum that you hand out every year. Leave that space for the candy corns and Milk Duds of our world. Certain candies are so divine one must keep them clasped tightly in their mitts; perhaps in a special sweets drawer that falls under the careful watch of lock and key.

One such candy is this outrageous concoction I discovered yesterday*.

Adorned with “The King” on its wrapper, this fancy chocolate/banana love affair is surely worth however many ¢ you’ll be forced to spend on it. Don’t leave it to the thankless void of the Halloween bowl!

Speaking of “treats,” I saw LCD Soundsystem and Arcade Fire at the Louisville waterfront last night and, to say the least, my socks were knocked a ways off of my feet.

*According to this blog, they were out last year, too. Good golly!

I couldn’t find any clips related to this on the ol’ ‘Tube, so here’s a track ripped from the Special Edition of Michael Jackson’s Thriller. This is the extended version of Vincent Price’s amazing “rap,” as recorded at the voice-over session:

Can you dig it? (m4a)

I’ve been listening to Thriller a lot lately. I know, I know, “who hasn’t, Joseph!?” I mean, if given the choice to listen to Thriller or not listen to Thriller, I’d like to think 100% of my readers would choose the former. Then again, an ideal world might consist of a legion of corpulent blobs doing nothing but listening to Thriller all day.

That’s not what this post is about, though. After all, it is Monster Month on the JLR. I don’t need to tell you how bold Thriller is as an album. Actually, I’d say it has some darn audacity with the way it orders its tracks like a rapid-fire aural missile launcher. It’s almost rude! Who the heck thought it was okay to follow up “Thriller” with “Beat It” and “Billie Jean”!? Quincy Jones is a pretty ridiculous fellow.

Despite all of the Big Ones, I’d have to say that “P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)” is my favourite track. This brings me to the drawn-out point of this post. I was listening to it on repeat in my car on the way to the post office when I realized that the chipmunk voices near the end really do it for me. What’s wrong with me? Maybe it’s all the Alvin & the Chipmunks I watched as a kid, but I think that voice is the bee’s knees.

With that said, here’s some “spooky” Alvin action!

It’s that time of year!
