Halloween Countdown: October 11 – it's fun when it's fun

Yesterday's post was a bit of a downer (though my wife and I thank everyone who offered their condolences), so I figured I'd change the tone today, and offer something a little more happy and upbeat. Something that really captures the essence of the season for me. Something like this track...

Throbbing Gristle - Persuasion (fron 20 Jazz Funk Greats, 1979)

Boy, doesn't that just lift your spirits and brighten your day? It also makes for a relaxing listen on those nights where you're having trouble sleeping.

When I can't find the Ray Connif albums. I always go for the Gristle cd's instead, a song and a smile every time.

Or the soothing lullaby of Lou Reed singing The Kids, and perhaps Reality Asylum by Crass just before lights out for the night.

That's a freaky-looking panel... it looks like something from Grant Morrison's Doom Patrol, only much older.

What's it from?

It's from The Defenders #99 (Sept. 1981), written by J.M. DeMatteis and art by Don Perlin and Joe Sinnott.

Thanks. I actually had that comic in years gone by. It'll return to my collection come Essential Defenders Vol 5 or 6, I reckon.

If the brass band have no faces, how exactly are they playing their instruments?
