Midnight In The Desert

[Lilith]

Definitely listen, I trashed a few people in this thread.

Have an art bell tribute show for your patience.

Keith must own the show name, why else would HW have changed the name of what she claimed was HER show.  Crystal wrote the song with 2 other writers, so maybe they would have some ownership too.  The whole thing is crazy.

The fact that the song has TWO publishing companies, says Crystal most definitely does NOT own full rights to the song.

[SpookyTim]

Is it really you? That would be great news.

I appreciate that, but it's definitely not.

[Dyna-X]

It's me.

Would be a brilliant move on KR's part in terms of quality presentation and I would believe it if you hadn't once said you were not interested in Ghosts and Hobgoblins. What would the content be focused on? Would you have Spooky Tim as a producer and just ask what he prepared like Noory does, but with better pronunciation?

[21st Century Man]

I wouldn't trust it

Maybe so. They are going to keep it a mystery until showtime for sure.  That's the best way to draw in listeners.

[2014]

This is going to be like The Temptations touring without anyone from the original lineup, just some dudes who filled in years later but trying to squeeze as much money out of it as possible. Art was the main attraction to that show, not KR, not HW... I don't see either of their shows doing all that well, should have just shut it down with Art's passing.

[Robert]

I may be wrong, but I thought Art mentioned once he was given the rights to use that song in perpetuity.

I think perpetuity ended 3 weeks ago.

Chefist & heather wade call in ... I mean what else can you ask for?

Yes, I know, if you backtrack, you'll see I pointed that out 2 weeks ago :-)

[WOTR]

That's why when Keith announced he had picked a new host the other day,  you tweeted, keep it a secret to build suspense....You sly son of a bitch! That's why you're up now,  prepping for your new late night gig.

And composing his own bumper music to save on royalties is very crafty. 

[Sean92008]

It's me.

Damn, you look like Lee Liberace... 

Isn't he dead?

[dsz]

He's scheduled for next Friday's Coast so I doubt it.  It is not Knapp for sure.  Jimmy Church has his own show.  I'm stumped.  Guess we will know tomorrow and I have a feeling a lot of people are going to be mad at Rowland this time tomorrow night.

Exactly. Especially when he could have rotated a few guest hosts for a while. If Schrader is as great as Keith seems to think then people would be clamoring for him to be permanent host. Oh well, at least Keith was King for two weeks.

[zeebo]

.... Sorry, folks, I'm not spending hours making a power point just to explain the difference between residual and intelligent haunts ...

Well, hmmmph then.  Hmmmph to you, sir.

[SpookyTim]

Well, hmmmph then.  Hmmmph to you, sir.

Harurrrumph, I say

[albrecht]

My honest opinion, at least in this current period of my work, is that it's all something people create in their minds and will into existence, which to me is far more fascinating than if we have dead people around us, or beings from other planets visiting us. Then the big questions aren't the what, but the how and the why we do this. Does mankind need its boogeymen? Must we have something we always keep outside of our realm of comprehension? The more enlightened we become, we find new ways to keep ourselves in the dark about things we should have figured out centuries ago. But why?

Why assume a why? Why, ha, boogeyman- and not a better idea of good, maybe with a minus o?

[EarthAlien007]

I wonder if Keith will keep Michelle around for the carney shit like pushing $5,000 lights on Facebook.

[Dyna-X]

Right now I could see Keith with his arm deep into one of those industrial sized bags of pre-popped and buttered popcorn laughing until his ribs hurt while reading us grasping for a clue.

[SpookyTim]

I wonder if Keith will keep Michelle around for the carney shit like pushing $5,000 lights on Facebook.

Michelle is booking guests right now, I know that for a fact. She's going to be there

I know Michelle is currently booking more guests, so i guess she's sticking around

[zeebo]

Yeah, she gave him the right to play it anytime he wanted.  However she still owns the song.

Imho the only proper time for that iconic song to be played was friggin 2.5 years ago when Art was actually hosting MITD.  (MV's version however can be played any time, which is just right and true.)

I concur

[Lilith]

It's me.

OMG

[zeebo]

Oh I could have sworn it was Richard.lmfao.. But whoever that was.. That episode was one of the best non-Art C2C episodes.. I was literally LOL'ing at the guy taking Lear seriously enough to be having a panic attack on air thinking he'd been abducted.

Oh it was an unintentional classic!  I heard that thing live and still couldn't believe it.  Somewhere here on bellgab there's a thread about it. 

[Faustina]

I wouldn't trust it

Yep.  He's playing dumb.  It's supposed to be a surprise tomorrow night.  I mean... tonight.

[Sean92008]

That's the PUBLISHING rights...

Then there's the recording... 

Example...  The Beatles' Northern Songs ended up years later in Michael Jackson's possession...

One day... This happened
https://youtu.be/cQo-_fGHu1Q!

Shit hit the fan. The Nike commercial was a one-off.  You won't hear a BEATLES recording being used anymore because they monitor the use of the sound recordings much more closely.

After that fiasco, Beatles songs performed by others started popping up in commercials.  Paul couldn't stop it, none of them could, even Yoko...

ikr?

MV + Spooky Tim + occasional Connie Willis and you've friggin got something.  I think I'm actually serious here.

[Corona Kitty]

ikr? 

I'm more concerned with how I made fun of, Sarah Huckabee Sanders. To be honest, I was very mean and not nicey nicey.

[yoursongs]

I know Michelle is currently booking more guests, so i guess she's sticking around

Tim, how would you know that? Or does Michelle produce your show too, or do you just know her well?

[Corona Kitty]

It's me.

Question, have you phoned Heather yet to rattle her cage?

[Faustina]

Fair point but I think Schrade's got a different calculus going on. 

Shrader only hosts c2c 2-4 nights a month, thereabouts....  And I don't think his now-podcast makes much money.  He has ex-wives with kids.....
