It Happened Less Than 2 Months Prior To The Release Of Their Dynamic Debut Album Which Is Widely Viewed As One Of The Most Impressive & Potent Debut Records Of Its Time.

This Episode Will Begin With Some Tunes In Observance Of The Upcoming NATIONAL BLACK CAT DAY On Wednesday, October 27th. The Iconic Black Cat Carries A Unique Status Among The Wide Variety Of Different Cat Breeds. Some Geographical Locations Such As Scotland, England & Japan Believe That The Presence Or Appearance Of A Black Cat Is Indicative Of Imminent Good Fortune & Prosperity. Unfortunately, Most Of The World Sees Black Cats As Harbingers Of Misfortune & Wickedness. Black Cats Have Lower Adoption Rates & Are Euthanized More Often As A Result. Black Cats Are Also Often The Victims Of Violence & Cruelty From Humans Especially Around Halloween Due To This Undeserved Stigma, General Superstition & Their Association With Evil Witches. We'll Also Hear Some Monstrous Instant Classics From The Hollywood Vampires, Deadboy & The Elephantmen & Here Come The Mummies. You'll Definitely Hear A Howlin' Wolf & A True Classic From Cream About One Of The Most Dangerous & Scary Real Life Monsters We Know Today: A Politician.
