Playlist for Lost & Found with Mark Francis, 10/31/2005


I'm not a big "theme show" guy, but when the show falls on Halloween day itself, there are certain obligations to be met! Had lots of fun, we checked out different approaches to dark themes, and I couldn't decide if I wanted to do a bad Bela Lugosi impression or not! As always, fully illustrated playlist and link to archived MP3 of the entire show is available at http://www.groovetime.blogspot.com
Please donate to WMBR this week, at any time - but especially during Lost & Found, if you are a fan! Thanks!
- Mark
