We’ve been revisiting the fun old time radio show Pat Novak for Hire, featuring (and created by) none other than smoky voiced torch singer Julie London’s hubby and cultural icon Jack Webb, alongside his roommate and scriptwriter Richard Breen.

And with no less than two further Weird Scenes recordings in process (we’re now talking through Halowe’en with our ongoing biweekly schedule pending edits, folks,)

and a lot of real life bullshit presumably behind us (well, at least another old bridge burned among hundreds,) we present yet another installment of our reasonably regular Roundup Reviews for your due delectation and attentive perusal.

So without further delay, let us sally forth into the fray, and let the din of battle serve as our victory cry!

Allons-y…

Taking advantage of a temporary pause on the Weird Scenes front to catch up with a few reviewables, once again mainly concentrated on newcomers and direct contacts. Have no fear, longtime labels, reps and suchlike, we will get to you as well (as we did for one label just the other day, in fact.)

So without any further ado-ing…shall we?

A few passings of note

And here’s another batch of goodies from our Facebook page, collected herein for your perusal and as a placeholder as life events, ongoing research and yet more recordings and edits over at Weird Scenes (we’ve been biweekly all year, and look to be booked on that very schedule well into the Holidaze!) keep the usual music reviews on hold for the nonce.

Have no fear, labels, reps and bands – we continue to gather and sort all incoming materials for review when everything else allows enough breathing room to get back on it. We ain’t goin’ nowhere, folks.

And as things continue apace on the editing front (even now, on our new biweekly schedule, we’re only halfway through what was already recorded!) over at Weird Scenes, aside from putting one clown in his place earlier (see the Facebook page if curious) it’s been busy as hell over this way.

Even so, we took some time out to get a few reviews out for new labels and bands who’d contacted us directly, and it’s actually some pretty good stuff.

So without any further ado, shall we?

Enter freely and of your own will, as it were…
