In our week of all-new shows, Halloweenesque programming, we have hit Wednesday afternoon, and The AIR brings you new episodes of Curtain Call and Beatles Blast that attempt to have a scary theme. You can tune in at the website, or just stay right here and listen to the convenient embedded radio player lurking elsewhere on this page.
At 2 PM (EDT) Beatles Blast brings you a one-hour mixtape of “Dark Beatles.” If you think that The Beatles didn’t do that much dark music, you’d be right. I was able to scrape together some sorta dark-sounding tunes by the group together and solo, with one cover, to attempt to simulate the Halloween spirit. This was the best I could come up with…

At 3 PM (EDT) on Curtain Call, Mel Larch tries to celebrate the macabre season with considerably more success.
