October Records
October is the tenth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars and the sixth of seven months to have a length of 31 days. The eighth month in the old calendar of Romulus , October retained its name (from Latin and Greek ''ôctō'' meaning "eight") after January and February were inserted into the calendar that had originally been created by the Romans. In Ancient Rome, one of three Mundus patet would take place on October 5, Meditrinalia October 11, Augustalia on October 12, October Horse on October 15, and Armilustrium on October 19. These dates do not correspond to the modern Gregorian calendar. Among the Anglo-Saxons, it was known as Winterfylleth (Ƿinterfylleþ), because at this full moon, winter was supposed to begin. October is commonly associated with the season of spring in parts of the Southern Hemisphere, and autumn in parts of the Northern Hemisphere, where it is the seasonal equivalent to April in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa.

Heredity (album)
''Heredity'' is a 1985 album by Rational Youth, now down to singer Tracy Howe with numerous studio musicians. In retrospect, Howe was less than happy with the album, especially with the fact that it looked like he was using the Rational Youth name as a flag of convenience for a solo album. The use of the Rational Youth name was suggested by Capitol Records, to which Howe acquiesced. The album, while successful, appealed to a different audience than earlier Rational Youth fans, confusing the latter. To date, the album has never seen a CD release. ''Heredity'' was produced by Howe together with former Klaatu member Dee Long. Track listing #"Heredity" (Tracy Howe, Peter McGee) - 4:15 #"No More And No Less" (Howe) - 4:05 #"Call Me" (Howe) - 2:58 #"In Your Eyes" (Howe, Kevin Komoda) - 3:10 #"I've Got A Sister In The Navy" (Howe) - 3:42 #"Bang On" (* John Jones) - 4:10 #"Freeze" (Howe, McGee) - 5:01 #"Burn The Night Away" (Howe) - 3:20 #"Holiday In Bangkok" (Howe) - 5:20 #"Sorry" ( ...
