What a great LP...Forry and the Robot album!!!! I was always so sorry I never purchased this one from FM when I was a lad. Thank you so much for making it available!!!
Hi Jason, Just wanted to say Thanks! and let you know you have one of the most amazing blogs i have ever seen. Have a Great Halloween! Rocket From Mars ps: with everything you've been posting---my kids have been in the mood for Halloween for months now! thanks!
Strange question for you... I remember a Halloween record from about first grade (probably cut in the 1960s) with the title, "Tonight Is Halloween."
I can hear the tune in my head, but the lyrics are hazy, something corny about "Ride your broomsticks. Ride them high. Ride your broomsticks through the sky. Toniiiiight is Hall-o-ween."
CJ: Huh, nothing is springing to mind but it sounds like it could be cool. Do you maybe remember any more info? Like was it little kid-ish, or maybe something you sang (perhaps like something off of this) or this, or more like a "Monster Mash" rip-off type thing you heard on the radio? (Heh, & of course I'm assuming it's not this recent song with, you know, none of the lyrics you mentioned.)
Historically, the robot community has been largely ignored by the music industry. Thanks for bringing this rare gem to light! I plan on playing it this weekend to help set the mood when that hot shiny gynoid from the auto plant will be coming over for drinks and WD-40.
I'm a bit late to this post but better late than... etc.
What a great listen and then it hit me that I'd heard bits somewhere before! Samples from Tin Age Story are used in MFRFM (Music For Robots) by Japanese musician Yoshinori Sunahara on the album Crossover.
jason you rule! i should like to make you a big cake. a big spooky cake.
ReplyDeleteWOW! This is some great great stuff -- vinyl pops and clicks included!

Fantastic! Thank you very much & Happy Halloween.
ReplyDeleteJason, I want you to know I love you. This is amazing...
ReplyDeleteLink is bad :(
ReplyDeletePlease post new link, or put on torrent. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThe song I was talking about was definitely intended for young children. It was probably meant for in-class sing-alongs.
ReplyDeleteIt was more of a Tom Glazer-type song than anything you'd hear on Dr. Demento.
CJ
Oop... For those of you who don't know Tom Glazer's work, I refer you to this site:

I found out about him because of the song "Why Does The Sun Shine," which was re-recorded by They Might Be Giants.
Not sure how well this works...but this is so good, I'm trying to keep this live...for now...
