The Octopus Project (Josh Lambert)
Describe (in detail) your best Halloween costume. This isn’t mine, but this year, Yvonne is going as the Rolling Stone cover of a nude John Lennon hugging Yoko Ono. She’s dressing up as Yoko and made a life-sized, stuffed, nude John Lennon, which she will be attaching to her waist. It is pretty nuts! What's […]
Clare & the Reasons (Clare Muldaur Manchon)
Describe (in detail) your best Halloween costume. When I was 5, I was a toothbrush and my sister was toothpaste. We won the prize, my mom made it for us, there was a lot of cardboard and paint involved. What would you rather be: a zombie or a robot? Robot, for sure. My arms would […]

What was your craziest/most memorable Halloween night? It was a party I threw in college with my roommate Jimmy Joe Roche. We spent a few days really making the place look awesome and getting ready. Way more people turned up than could fit, and a huge food fight ensued while Add N to X blasted […]
Disco Biscuts (Aron Magner)
What was your craziest/most memorable Halloween night? 10/31/2000 Covering "Cherub Rock" with a bikini-clad girl clobbering a pumpkin with a tire iron while we aptly screamed out to the crowd in the mics "We are … smashing pumpkins." What is your favorite album (ever) that features a Moog instrument? I mean, is there any other […]

Describe (in detail) your best Halloween costume. I was a head on a platter in 3rd grade. I had a light-weight table that rested on my shoulders, and there was a hole in the middle that my head fit through. There was tablecloth to hide my body. Surrounding my head was a fake platter with […]
Headtronics (FreekBass)
What's your favorite candy (and why)? Addicted to the new pretzel M&M's. Chocolate and salt … very good combo. What's your favorite Halloween-related song? Does "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" count? Who would win in a fight: analog or digital? Analog will always last all 15 rounds … digital would be either a knockout […]
Javelin (Tom Van Buskirk)
What would you rather be: a zombie or a robot? Well, if you are a zombie, you are essentially a pile of organic mush being controlled by an alien virus or some such, and if you are a robot then you are a pile of circuits controlled by humans, or by other robots. Or maybe […]
Mountain Man (Amelia Meath)
What would you rather be: a zombie or a robot? Zombie. At least you got to be human at some point. Unless I was a robot with an emotions chip, like Data had. Who would win in a fight: Freddy Kruger, Mike Myers, a gremlin, the Blair Witch, Freddie Mercury, or you? Freddie Mercury always […]
Mute Math (Paul Meany)
Describe (in detail) your best Halloween costume. This year I'm thinking of getting the darkest spray tan I can get, gel my hair back, wear cut off Jnco shorts and go as the Situation on heroin. What's your favorite candy (and why)? Hot tamales, because they go brilliantly with coffee. Who's your favorite monster (and […]

If you could ask Bob Moog one question, what would it be? As I understand it, in the early 60’s when he, Don Buchla, and others were developing electronic instruments, his decision to make them intended for a 12 tone musical interface seems pretty important in hindsight. I’d ask him to talk about the climate […]
Saturn Never Sleeps (King Britt)
What was your craziest/most memorable Halloween night? 2007 NYC. I had a gig at Cielo for Deep Space w/ Francois K. My hotel was three blocks away and it took me almost one hour to get to the club! Actually very scary! Who would win in a fight: Freddy Kruger, Mike Myers, a gremlin, the […]
Shout Out Out Out Out (Nik Kozub)
Describe your best Halloween costume. Again, when I was a kid, I had some pretty awesome costumes, thanks to my wonderful parents. My Mom would get pretty elaborate with things like building me a fly costume with paper maché and huge metal mesh eyes and stuff. One year I went as a giant Diet Coke […]
Two Fresh (Sherwyn Nicholls)
If you could ask Bob Moog one question, what would it be? What’s his favorite Moog instrument? What is your favorite album (ever) that features a Moog instrument? Eliott Lipp: Tacoma Mockingbird Who would win in a fight: analog or digital? Analog, it’s like asking who’d win in a fight between Human and Robot. The […]
