The Haunted House is a show on kusf.org in San Francisco, every Friday from 3:00 to 4:00pm (PST).
In this show at the Haunted House we celebrate Nietzsche's birthday (some years ago) with a look at PHILOSOPHY.
We examine ethics, logic, metaphysics, epistemology, aesthetics, the idea of progress, nihilism, reality and more, all through music!
The selection of songs we have for you today will answer all your questions: Who are we, where do we come from, where are we going, why are we here, how can we be happy, is progress good or bad, how to organize a society...
We will have students, scholars and masters of philosophy for a sizzling debate!
With Tom Zé, The Shaggs, The Ramones, Noel Rosa, Rodriguez, Boris Vian, Charles Mingus, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Skatalites...
-"Yes, Popoff, I insist: we MUST play the Skatalites. For it is said that Ska is the Moving Cause of the Universe".
- "But, my dear Ghost Host, are the Skatalites real? Are they evil or good? How do I know they don't exist only in my mind?"
On October 11th, the Haunted House came full circle, with a round show with the round number 30, and a reinterpretation of the "Cristopher Columbus" show we did exactly one year ago. This one we entitled "Encounters and Missencounters", and instead of focusing on Columbus, the Indies and the Native Peoples as we did last year, we focused on the mixing, the melting, the syncretism, the clash of cultures and the bastard results we so much enjoy. This
Unfortunately, the show got lost. Burned. Gone.
There are several theories about this. Our Inca oracle thinks it no wonder that a show dedicated to indigenous tribes just 'disappeared' in the hands of a Spaniard. Our Ghost Host blames the intrusion of living people in our world of spirits and ethereal forms (we had two living presences with us on the show).
But as the weeks go on, it seems more and more clear that it was the censorship of the Spanish Inquisition that made this show disappear.
And so, sadly, the show is gone forever. But the music isn't! Here we have for you a playlist of what we played on that program. Unfortunately you can't enjoy our Ghost Host's stuttering nor Popoff's sneering retorts, but you still can listen to the music on our playlist:
