Monster Mash Day - Countdown to Halloween has started and look what everyone gets to celebrate today…Monster Mash Day! And you guessed it, this holiday centers around the popular Halloween tune, “Monster Mash.” The song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on October 20, 1962. I have to say, for a seasonal song, it sure has had a huge history. It’s been featured on virtually any and every Halloween themed television show or movie. Radio stations across the world play this song on Halloween. It’s no wonder it’s such a popular hit after all these years. The song also has many low-budget sound effect features that we hear on the track. For example, the creeky opening of the coffin at the beginning of the track was achieved by a rusty nail being pulled off a board, while the sound of a bubbling cauldron was made by blowing bubbles through a straw. So are you planning a spooktacular Halloween shindig and plan to play this hit? Be sure to check out Sirius Satellite Radio for your entertainment that evening!

Brandied Fruit Day - I love fruit dipped in all sorts of things; however…brandy? Not having tried brandied fruit before, I can’t really judge. Yet something tells me the tartness of the fruit would come out full force when dipped and soaked in a liquor like brandy. Every summer and fall, my parents usually prepare a bunch of jars, put peaches and cherries and liquor and seal it up. After a few weeks or months, they usually serve their jarred fruit with ice cream, waffles, coffee and other goodies. I know it sounds mouthwatering, right? Well, if you’re not used to delicacy desserts like this, one bite into a brandied fruit and you might suck your cheeks in and squirm. You’ll get over it after a while! Nonetheless, brandied fruit is a great suggestion to serve at your fancy shmancy dinner parties. Since the underlying theme of today’s holidays is parties, perhaps you could put a Halloween twist on brandied fruit and serve it to the ghouls and gals at your Halloween party.
