This year’s Halloween episode guest is former Spoons and Honeymoon Suite keyboardist Rob Preuss. Rob took me to a studio on 72nd Street in New York City so he could play the spooky songs that make his skin vibrate on a piano.

Rob is a ridiculously talented musician and an insightful individual. Rather than go through a specific list of songs, we go over some of the stuff you’d expect and some you may not. And I learn a few things in the bargain – like the fact that the theme song from The Simpsons is basically the Devil’s Interval, the degree to which Gene Simmons terrified Rob as a kid, and how changing the key of Spoons’ classic Romantic Traffic can make it sound like a funeral dirge.
