Happy Halloween!

Johnny's been so busy today getting the house ready to receive the kids and then get ready to get dressed up for the first time in years and hit a couple parties and the big Newark plaza event tonight. We may check in before the Scoreboard Show with another Halloween fun clip but if not have fun tonight and be safe and fabulously spooky.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with ETTA JAMES!

Johnny's not sure what Etta is singing about here. She sure could do a better job of being direct instead of keeping a fella guessing as to her wants and needs.

Etta James and 'I Just Wanna Make Love to You' getting us started on the Music Series tonight.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE FOUR TOPS

"Sugar pie honey bunch," normally the words of a guy in deep shit with the girlfriend. Not here, the words of Holland Dozier Holland sung by the fabulous Four Tops it's 'I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)' make everything alright. Motown batting second tonight......Motown.

How 'bout them Mets?

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with FOO FIGHTERS!

You kids go have fun at all your pre-Halloween parties tonight but save your energy for the big party downtown tomorrow night. We're out the door on the Music Series this week with a great rocker from Foo Fighters and 'Learn to Fly'

Movie mistake night:

While singing 'If I Were King of the Forest' in the Wizard of Oz, the Cowardly Lion sings the lyrics, "What makes the Sphinx the Seventh Wonder?" Oops, but the Sphinx is not one of the Seven Wonders. The nearby the Great Pyramid of Giza is.

We could bore you to tears going on about frequency modulation and the 50th Anniversary of the Master FM Antenna

But we're going to let someone else do that.

What Johnny is going to do is tell you there will be an FM themed light show on the Empire State Building tonight at exactly 7pm (At seven in the evening. It was exactly seven in the evening -- The right people will get that) the Steely Dan song "FM" of all things will be broadcast on the radio and YouTube and you can get much more info at the link.

We agree with Gothamist writer John Del Signore about this not being one of Steely Dan's best songs though popular it was, and like him we're going to post a different Steely Dan song to fire you up, the title track from the album Aja.

Tomorrow in Jersey City, Uber is delivering kittens, yes KITTEHS!

In conjunction with the Liberty Humane Society, Uber will, when you press that app tomorrow between 11am and 3pm deliver a kitten looking for a forever home but your $30 will get you 15 minutes with a snuggly little kitteh:

As part of the national "UberKITTENS" day taking place in more than 50 cities across the country, Uber drivers will bring Liberty Humane Society cats to businesses and homes in Jersey City and Hoboken for 15 minute "snuggle sessions." 

Could you die?

Johnny grew up with cats and sometimes those cats had kittens. He's getting all fuzzy thinking about holding kittens again.

We're gonna give the famous jersey City Desk last word to Irene Borngraeber, executive director at Liberty Humane Society

"Our mission is to make sure each and every one of our community animals finds a lifelong, loving home. Uber is helping us fulfill that mission with a fun, easy way to raise awareness about local pet adoption that puts these kittens right in the arms of potential parents."
