Friday Mixtape Volume 43
jamie on October 27th, 2006
If you didn't already know- Halloween is next Tuesday, and most people (including me) are celebrating at fancy dress parties all weekend long. What are you going to dress as? Send me links to you in your best costume in the comments. The mix itself isn't Halloween themed- rather, it's just another great collection of new music. I didn't have time amidst various projects (including making a costume- duh) to be clever like that. I probably could have compiled a list of old Halloween 'standards' for you, but no doubt 1) they would all have been heard before, 2) are probably already available as som ecommercial compilation at Best Buy and 3) really boring. So, I've stuck with the usual format and pulled together some really class tracks. The one deviation in this week's mix is the distinct lack of any rap, hip-hop or R&B. It wasn't intentional. I just didn't find anything new that I really liked there. Anyway, enjoy volume 43 and have a great Halloween!
Also, today is my sister's birhtday, and though I know she doens't regularly read the blog, I want to give her a little birthday shout here today! Happy BD Sara!
The amazingly spooky photo is from the aptly named flickr.com user ghostbones, whose amazing photography is perfect for the holiday. There's a real sense of a story told in this image, and the contrast, compositino and creative design are all perfectI've spent a lot of time parusing his collection online, in absolute awe at the compositions and imagry.
