Hey, guys, thanks to checking out this bonus episode. Before we get into it, I want to let you know that we've got a ton of content for you to check out here for the Halloween season. Here in the disgrace land feed, we just reincarnated our Norwegian black metal episode, which you should, see bumped up in the feed with all of our other dark, twisted, horrific Halloween episodes that we're dropping this week. And over in the Badlands feed, we just dropped an episode on legendary director John Houston, which I am very proud of. I think the team did a great job on this one. I love digging into the classic Hollywood stuff. Check that out. And yeah, let's get into some bonus episode content right here in the after party. Hey, discos. Need a little more disgrace land

in your life? Just a touch to get you through. Yeah, me too. This is the podcast that comes after the podcast. Welcome to Disgraceland, the After Party. Welcome to the Disgraceland bonus episode. A little thing we like to call the after party. This is the show after the show, the party after the party, the bridge to get you from one full episode of Disgraceland to the other, the backyard to dig into the dirt.

On this episode, we are talking, among other things, about the spookiest, creepiest, most bone-chilling episodes of Disgraceland, rock stars who are in your favorite horror movies, and what song is going to be played at your funeral? And of course, your voicemails, texts, DMs, and more. And as always, a whole lot of rosy. All right, Discos, let's get it. All right, October, 2023 is coming to a close.

Halloween is a mere five days away, which means we've got five more days of frights, and the so-called spooky season is not dead yet, or is it undead? Here in disgraceland, we've been reanimating, reincarnating the dead, or rather getting into these old episodes from the archive, creepy crawly episodes, the gnarliest, the weirdest, all the strange, all the spine tingling, all the stomach-turning stories that we've told to you over the last five years or so.

And if you've been in the fee this week, you know this. You've got an archive releases on ACDC and their connection to Richard Ramirez, a.k.k.a. the Knightstalker. Ozzy Osbourne, the Prince of Darkness himself, the great bluesman, Robert Johnson, and how that deal went down at the devil's crossroads, or didn't go down. Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page so deep into the dark arts that he freaked out David Bowie. And today, today we just dropped an episode from all the way back in season one on Norwegian Black Metal, which has got to be heard to be believed.

And then tomorrow through Sunday, more episodes, more terrifying tales coming your way from Charles Manson, Skip James, and Black Sabbath. 617-9066638 is the voicemail for the old school messaging and the new school messaging. 617-90666-6-6-3-8 for the text. It's the same. You know, at Disgracelam Pod's on the social's disgracelampod at gmail.com on email. I cannot wait to hear from you guys this week on all things, music and true crime. All right.

Let's get straight into your voicemails. Let's dig right in here with Matt from the 510 with a great music discovery story. California. I grew up a fellow in New Englander like yourself. And I grew up in a small town in New Hampshire, and I have a memorable music discovery story for you. So I used to get sent to the dump by my parents once a week to drop off our trash. People at the dump like to call it the solid waste facility, and were offended if you called it the dump. There was one day that I was dropping off trash, driving through my mom's car,

and dropping off trash bags next to their giant incinerator. I saw stacks of records that were getting ready to be tossed into the incinerator and being the lifelong music junkie that I am, I had to take a look and see what the records were because I always would go through my dad's records and steal those Cheweng and Led Zeppelin The Who records and everything, so I wanted some of my own. And lo and behold, there was a stack of just classic hip-hop records, original pressings of license to ill, two copies of the she's crafty 12 inch from the Beastie Boys, Grandmaster Flash, all the Run the MC Records, all in great condition.

I mean, there were like, I don't know, 30 or 40 records in this stack. And so I asked, Don't, if I could get them into my... Amazing story, Matt. Crazy how sometimes the world just gives you things when it comes to music, at least. Just there, here it is, here it is, Matt, just for you. We've got this whole treasure trove of amazing hip-hop music right here in the middle of this dump. We used to call it the dump as well. I've found records on the street before, discarded records, more like stuff that was just kind of mass printed in the 70s and 80s that people, just everyone kind of had but didn't really want after a while.

Carol King's Tapestry, the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, the Greece soundtrack. These are records that you could probably get on any college moving day on any corner on any year in Boston, Massachusetts. Peter Frampton. Frampton comes alive. That's another one. But it sounds like you just got like a mana from heaven. Like the gods just, you know, reached down and said, here, here you go. We're going to turn you on and keep you turned on with this amazing hip-hop record collection. So good for you, Matt. Love it. All right. Let's hear from a new listener, Angie from the 4-4-3. And thinking about calling for a bonus episode just as much. I started late. I've been binging for the past two months, and I'm not called up yet.

But somehow spot up the topic that I wanted to talk about, kind of related to what I do, and I'm a hospice nurse. I listen mostly on my commute, which is a couple of hours. And you had mentioned you wanted a sort of song played at your funeral and what songs people would like to listen to as their doctor. or what songs mean the most of them that they think they might like. That's all. Thank you. Keep doing what you do it. I love it.

Love it. Bye. Angie, thank you for calling in. Appreciate you. Stoke to welcome new listeners into the show. Awesome to hear what you do for a living as well. Dark topic you bring up here, Angie, but I get it.

I mentioned this, I mentioned the same topic from time to time to my wife whenever we hear the song, Wildflowers by Tom Petty, because that is the song that I would have playing at my funeral. But Angie, you have prompted a question of the week here, and I thank you for it. So listeners, yeah, I mean, 617-90666-6-6-3-8. Let's just jump off what Angie's putting down here. What song do you want playing at your funeral?

Let us know. 617-906-66-3-8. In the meantime, let's check in with another Jake, Jake, from the 385. Jake, you're talking about the movie, The Horror Movie, Maximum Overdrive, written and directed by Stephen King. Yes, kind of cheesy, but in a great kind of way. I love this movie and the soundtrack is the soundtrack that you're mentioning is ACBC's Who Made Who, which is kind of a greatest hits, but there's a single on it. The title track, Who Made Who is a new single that they did for this album. I think there might have been another couple new songs. I can't remember now. But I know it feels

like Stephen King got a budget to do a movie that he was going to direct. He was finally in charge. no one was going to fuck up his IP talking to you, Stanley Kubrick, at least from Stephen King's point of view. And he goes to direct this movie and he's like, I know what I'll do. I'll get my favorite band of all time, ACDC, to do the soundtrack. And they were like, yeah, here's a bunch of old songs and here's a new one to boot. I think that's what happened. I'm just guessing. I've never read anything about the making of that record, but I just feel like that's how it went down. I saw them on that tour, by the way. I was in the sixth grade, I believe. And they were incredible. It was, you know, that movie, Maximum Overdrive is partly responsible for my, my still to this day, and my deep, deep, deep reservoir of love for ACDC.

All right, guys, 617-906-66-6638 with your voicemails and your text. ACDC and Stephen King's Maximum Overdrive brings up a good question. What's the best rock star slash horror movie crossover? Is it ACDC with Stephen King and Maximum Overdrive? Is it Studio 666 and Food Fighters? Do you love Rob? zombie as a filmmaker. So what movie do I need to watch? Is it Tom Waits? And Bram Stoker's Dracula? Is it Kiss and Scooby-Doo? It's not Kiss and Scooby-Doo, but I had to bring that up. It's on the mind because

my son's watching that one. What Rockstar killed it in a horror movie? That's what I want to know. 617-906-66-36-38 on voicemail or text. Also, Angie, my new friend, I haven't forget about the question of the week that you prompted either. Guys, you can only choose one song to play at your funeral. What is it? I want to know. It's dark, but it's the dark season. 906-66-6-6-3-8. Back in the moment with your texts. There's two golden rules that any man should live by. Rule one, never mess with a country girl.

You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And rule two, never mess with her friends either. We always say that trust your girlfriends. I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends... Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated, the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck.

I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care. So they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no. I vowed. I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves. Listen to the girlfriends.

Trust me, babe. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Your husband is not who you think he is. Your body is. not what you thought it was. Your identity is formed by a secret history. I'm Danny Shapiro, and these are just a few of the stunning stories I'll be exploring on the 14th season of family secrets. And just then, we felt the plain turn in the air, so much so that the bags that were under people's seats just kind of flew into the aisle.

Each week, we dive head first into the complex power of secrecy, how it shapes our identities and relationships, and how it ultimately can reveal to us our truest selves. My daughter, she's pretending she doesn't know, but is trying to cook and feed me and keep me alive because I wasn't eating anything, and me pretending like everything was fine. He kind of shoved me out of the way and said, move. And he went out the front door,

and he jumped in a car and drove off, and that was the last time I saw him. Listen to season 14 of Family Secrets, starting May 7th on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, this one. from the 252, this text coming in saying, hey there, Jake, just listen to the Robert Johnson episode. It's been a few years and it's as good as it was back then. Good work. I know you read,

but you probably have a backlist of books people send you to read. This is true. The 252 goes on to say, if you do, go ahead and throw Spiders Kiss on the list. It's by Harlan Ellison, one of history's greatest writers you never heard of. The story is so good, really, really, really, really good. And if Harlan was still alive, he would like your show, especially this Robert Johnson episode. I know, I know. You're busy, but thanks for doing all you do. You got a two-five-two. I like the recommendation there. I will check it up. The 303 writes in, I love to comments on Justin Trudeau and Jada Pinkett Smith. 303 is referring to a couple of rants I had. I believe those in the pre-party. And yeah, fuck Justin Trudeau. Let's see. The 862 writes in, your rant on boomer attitudes was really uncalled for.

Just as millennials, Gen X, Jan Z don't want to be grouped together. As general practitioners of assholeery, neither do boomers. All people are not like in a generation. I thought you knew that. Congrats for being part of the intergenerational problem. All right. I don't mind a little criticism. I don't mind a little heat, but I'm going to stick up for myself here, 862. You are writing in response to my rant in the pre-party on Jan Wenner. And I wasn't grouping all boomers together. I was very clear, if I do recall, on how that generation in particular has had a particular type of narcissism, but I did qualify it. I'm almost positive I did because I usually do. But if by some chance I did not, if I did not, then I was mistaken. And I would

ask you, 862, to look at your generation with the same bit of nuance that I look at mine. You know, Gen Xers, we think we're all badass. We think we were raised by wolves. We think we can stand anything. but deep down, we're just as emotional and sensitive as everybody else. And we're not all one group. I know that. I know that. I'm not suggesting we are. We are the greatest generation.

Next, of course, to the greatest generation. All right, let's get into some more texts here. 705 writing in on an old question here on SADSAC music. This question, what favorite 70 sadsac music do you guys get into? It didn't get a lot of traction, but I don't care. I want to get into it here. My favorite 70sad Satsk music is Casey in the Sunshine Band. Please don't go. Favorite Jim Crocey album is photographs and memories. Favorite alter ego would be Vincent Funier, aka Alice Cooper. Favorite Halloween music is Jack the Ripper by Screaming Lord Such, and that's all I got for now. That's a lot. That is a lot. And I dig it. I dig it. But is Casey in the Sunshine Band, Sad Sack music? 724 writes in, hey, Jake, it's Anthony. You asked about bands to listen to around Halloween. And I was curious what your opinion on Ice Nine Kills was, since they do song.

based on horror movies, games, and books. Anthony, I've never heard of Ice Nine kills. So I might have to check that out. Or if you want something a little different, this is Anthony continuing, there's a German, Norwegian, Danish folk band called Heilong that uses Viking and German ruins from the Iron Age.

That sounds incredible. I don't really know what that is, but that sounds nuts. You also asked about that 70 sound in Jim Crocey, and I don't know if this falls in, but I really enjoyed Gordon Lightfoot, especially his album's Summertime Dream. And in terms of favorite Halloween,

grace in that episode i do like the jim morrison one best big lurch is my second keep on keeping on and later days mate you got it seven two four uh yeah that's a lot that's a lot you know that big lurch episode it's coming at you seven to four in a couple days all right uh 248 writes in again this also on uh sad sack music you asked about soft music the 70s were my formative years i had such a crush on neil diamond war out is hot august night vinyl love cat stevens as well played carroll care'll King Tapestry and James Taylor, sweet baby James, eight tracks over and over, still love them all. 709 writing in, let's cap this out with another discovery story. That's where we started this whole engagement thing with. 709 writes in, hey, Jake, you asked how we got into music like most

90s kids early on. It was whatever my parents listened to. Country, Irish traditional. Until high school, when I was introduced to all ages punk shows by my high school crush. Every Sunday, I'd hang out with different people, and then in the early days of non-dial-up internet, use pure volume to find pop punk emo bands. Now in my 30s I've evolved to listen to a variety of music. 709, I remember pure volume. Good text, appreciate it. I wonder what you think of the whole emo revival,

the pop punk emo revival. I'm sure you're into it as we are. All right, one more here from the 609. Hey, Jake, Mary, from the 609. Top Halloween songs for me are anything by John Carpenter, especially the Halloween theme. Saw him and his son do a show of all his songs a few years ago, and it was awesome.

He is such a vibe. That sounds incredible. I'd love to see John Carpenter. put on a concert. That sounds amazing. All right. That's what we got. 617-906-66-66-38. That's how you get in touch with me. That's how you leave your voicemails. That's how you send your texts. That's how we engage here in disgrace land. I want to know what you're thinking about. I want to know what you think about this. I've been thinking a lot about this. I've been thinking a lot about Halloween music. We've been talking about Halloween music. We've been talking about Halloween playlists. But that's got me thinking.

What music you brought up John Carpenter? What music scares you? John Carpenter, makes some scary fucking music, the soundtrack for the fog in particular. But it doesn't have to be horror-themed compositions. It doesn't have to be from horror directors. It doesn't have to have anything to do with Halloween. Just like what music actually scares you, like freaks you out. Like you drive and late at night, it's dark, maybe it's foggy, maybe there's a little mist in the air.

You can see the white lines on the sides of the roads, but you can't really make out the dotted line in the middle, you're driving about 20 miles slower than you normally do. And that song comes on the radio. And you're into it at first. It's a vibe. It fits with the fog and the and the mist and the darkness of it all. But then something turns and it's actually a different feeling. It's fucking fear. What is that music? What is that music that will transform your environment and scare the shit out of you? It can be anything. It can be. It can be. Sad Sacks 70s music. It can be James Taylor. For me, it's like, weirdly, Donovan. And I think that's because of the David Fincher movie, The Zodiac. I blame David Fincher for Donovan being scary.

But also, Echo and the Bunnyman, Mazzie Star, scary shit. 617-906-6638. Let me know what music scares you, for real. Also, a ton of great questions have been prompted just in this after party from your voicemails and your text in this little conversation we have going. What song is playing at your funeral? What rock star killed it in that horror movie that you love? What music freaks you out? Like I said, is it Echo in the Bunny Man? Is it Donovan? Hurdy Gertie Man, Massey Star? Like I said, all of that freaks me out. All right? Also, Angie, first time caller prompted this idea. Why does Angie get to have all the fun? What questions do you guys have for each other? Not necessarily for me, but for each other. Why do Angie and I have to do everything as what I'm asking?

Hit me with your questions. What would make for a good question of the week? All right, something related to true crime and music, yes, perhaps horror, because that's what we're in right now. But you know what we're all talking about in here. What do you want to have answered? It can be anything. It can be a general question.

It can be a specific question. 617-90666-638 voicemail on text. I'll pose it on the next after party. All right, quick break. Back in a flash. There's two golden rules that any man should live by. Rule one, never mess with a country girl. You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And rule two, never mess with her friends either. We always say that trust your girlfriends.

I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends, oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist.
