The NeverEndingWonder Halloween Radio Empire on the Air for 2008

[The Flayed One]

Hey NE. As cheesy as it is, can you spin The Final Countdown in celebration of the next HDC Project?

I don't have it.

Gothic Polka? Can it be true? It IS!

Veronique Chevalier's new release Polka Haunt Us (get it?) has joined the playlist of the NeverEndingWonder Halloween Radio Empire. Joining the ranks of alternative polka releases, such as The Polka Floyd Show earlier this year, it really seems there's a movement afoot to demonstrate that the polka is not just a quaint dance form practiced by drunken Europeans.

Musically and lyricly this album is dynamic, challenging and invigorating. By combining polka tempos with lyrics that tell spooky stories this offering is completely original and a joy to listen to. It's perfect for this time of year- or, for fans of refreshing musical treats, it's perfect for any time.

Some songs are played for laughs, such as The Beer Hall in Hell, but some- like Ghost Train, are powerful musical tales of the supernatural. Earlier this year I would have said that there was no way you could pull off a polka version of Pink Floyd. Polks Floyd proved me wrong. Now I must add to that list of improbabilities that work perfectly, the genre of Gothic Polka.

Chevalier has packed her release with top notch talent such as master yodeler Kerry Christensen, 2007 polka Grammy nominee Alex Meixner, Marion Ramsey (from the Police Academy films), and many more.

Polka- it's not just for the beer and bratwurst set any more. Artists like Weird Al, Polka Floyd and now Veronique Chevalier are showing us that polkas can not only rock, they can be valid methods of artist personal expression. It takes a lot of talent to pull something like this off, but Chevalier has it aplenty. Check it out.

You can hear Polka Haunt Us on the NeverEndingWonder Halloween Radio Empire.

I can really get into this. We have several television and radio stations that cater to Mexican audiences, here in Florida, so I hear variations on polka music all the time. While in New York last month, I picked up a polka station on the radio. You just can't help but feel energized when you here that music.

Weird Al may have been ahead of his time.

Loving the Sweeney Todd soundtrack, NE! I also think I caught the tail end of some goth polka. Loved what I heard, I'm going to try to look some more up.

Well, as far as I know, the above album I posted about is the first of the genre. Good luck finding more though!
