AFV Halloween Gumby Kid
This cute kid decided to dress up as Gumby for Halloween, resulting in one of my favorite America's Funniest Home Video clips. I think we all have memories of childhood costumes that made us somewhat immoble. I recall being a red crayon in grade one and not being able to sit down. Anyway, he's Gumby! Happy Halloween!

Inspired Singles: Science Fiction/Double Feature
Inspired Singles Issue 11: Science Fiction/Double Feature by Richard O'Brien
This staple of Halloween mixes is a lyrical history lesson cleverly showcasing some really crazy B movies. From Flash Gordon to Forbidden Planet to Doctor X, there are a surprisingly large amount of character and plot references from projects not unlike Rocky Horror.
Science Fiction/Double Feature is the title track of the Rocky Horror Picture Show and has been made iconic not just because of its association with the movie and stage show, but because of Patricia Quinn's red lips. Now that's how you lip sync!
It's a tune that instantly reminds me of all those childhood Halloweens and the late nights after trick or treating. It's funny, it's weird, it's a classic.

Inspired Singles: New Format
Over the last year I've written 10 issues for my Inspired Singles column here on Editing Luke. The series has actually been quite popular, but it's also a lengthier post for me to put together and I feel that a lot of the singles go overlooked because they aren't easy to search for.
Hence, it seems like a good time to change things.
From now on, Inspired Singles will feature a single track per post. This means less work, and as a result, more posts and singles in the long run. Singles will also be easier to find by title, and results from the Linkwithin widget should appear more diverse and descriptive - not just an issue number.
I know there have been quite a few clicks through to these columns when they go up so I just thought a bit of a heads up was due. If anything, you can look forward to a lot more Inspired Singles popping up very soon!
