PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS!

Hey kids,
I would love it if you guys left comments on my new Monster Spookshow Radio page, at least it would let me know if people are coming to this new page or not. Drop me a line, leave me a comment, leave me a little note!

R.I.P. LUX INTERIOR

Sad but true folks, our beloved Lux Interior has passed away. For those of you who don't know who Lux was, well, he was the one and only, amazing frontman for The Cramps, a band who is considered by many to be the godfathers of psychobilly (I know I definitely do!). I have had the pleasure of seeing The Cramps perform live many times, and Lux was always the highlight of the show. Check out this live clip of The Cramps from the film "Urgh! A Music War" and you will see what a fantastic entertainer Lux was. I know I will personally miss him and his stage antics. Rest in peace, you demented genius, it's now time for you to teach the Lord some songs!

Hell-o Boils and Ghouls!!
Welcome to the new home for my MONSTER SPOOKSHOW RADIO!! I decided since I spend so much time on blogspots that I would create one for my monthly podcasts, and switch it away from being a back page on The Van Orsdels band website to it's own entity. I will be posting all the previous shows on here, as well as every show I will be doing from now on! I can't promise how soon I'll have them up on here, so for now the show is still being hosted on The Van Orsdels' website, but here is the link.
