Halloween is creeping up on us this week so this weekend's music thread celebrates that fun and scary night with songs about dark and mystical things, fictional characters and things that are sweet.
This weekend's music thread is about going off the rails, getting flagged for it and arriving at just desserts.
The 4th Democratic debate takes place tonight in Ohio and as usual, PlanetPOV will be hosting a live chat to accompany it. Everyone is invited to join in and share their thoughts throughout the debate.
John Lennon's birthday was this week so our music thread is dedicated to him and of course his band that changed everything, The Plastic Ono Band. Or The Beatles too.
