The domination of pop culture by vampires is no false, pyrrhic victory. It's a vampiric victory over all of us who shiver in the dark, flinch at fangs, and wonder at the persuasive power of seductive evil.
Count Dracula and his growing brood pop up in literature, movies, and visual and sonic arts of all kinds. Host David Garland offers the tricks and treats of vampire-inspired music, featuring film scores from Scars Of Dracula, The Legend Of The 7 Golden Vampires, Andy Warhol's Dracula, and several other vampire movies, plus a few vampire novelties.

Poetry & Jazz
There was a particular renaissance back in the 1950s and '60s, bringing together poetry and jazz. Some of those vintage experiments surely laid the groundwork for the poetry slams and rap of today. David Garland presents some classic poetry and jazz recordings, including the voices of Jack Kerouac and Langston Hughes, along with music by Charles Mingus, Al Cohn and Zoot Sims, Allyn Ferguson, and others.
