I’m just not ready to let Art Bell go yet. Let’s have a musical tribute this week. I figure we’re about as far from next Halloween as we are from the last one, so some paranormal-themed songs are definitely in order. And a bit more.
Here are some good categories for this theme.
- Watchin’ X-Files With No Lights On – Songs of hauntings, UFO’s, secret societies, shadow governments, and cryptozoology.
- Kingdom of Nye – I want some good Southwestern music. Stuff that sounds awesome when you’re driving on a lonely desert road at midnight, waiting for Coast to Coast to start.
- Yellow Fever – Mr. Bell loved Asian women. Who doesn’t?
Bonus cool points this week for also honoring the memories of Barbara Bush and R. Lee Ermey, two outstanding Americans.
Let’s get this going with one of my favorite moments from C2C history.
Dedications time.
pfluffy: Mars Attacks by The Misfits
WVR: China Girl by David Bowie
Santino: Exo-Politics by Muse
Zurvan: Twilight Zone by Golden Earring
Grendel: After Dark by Tito y Tarantula
spootyjim: Some Velvet Morning (cover) by Entombed

Sorry for the late adds, I was traveling yesterday.
Mixing in last week’s theme, let’s take it back to one of my favorite compilation CD’s of the 90’s – Pure Moods
Tubular Bells
Return to Innocence
Adiemus
Crockett’s Theme
Just to get the U2 in, Where the Streets Have No Name for driving on a desert road.
In honor of R. Lee Ermey
This has got to be worth bonus points – In honor of Barbara Bush AND Art Bell – Books about UFO’s
Oh, yeah. That’s actually very literally true. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2s8XUE7dct0
Any CCR song is valid for some desert driving. This one is especially apt for this week though.
Graveyard Training – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6E9CmTTInWo
That’s why I thought of it. Incredible concert. That screen was nuts.
There was one song where just out of nowhere, the screen showed a woman in a stars-and-stripes bikini doing rope tricks. I turned to my wife afterward and said, “Remember the lady in the bikini in the screen show? That was out of place.”
She told me it was The Edge’s wife.
“That just raises more questions. Why in the hell did he have his wife doing that???”
Ahh, that makes a bit more sense since she at least has a tie to the band…still strange.
