Happy Halloween! This is certainly one of my favorite holidays of the year, but my participation is always hit-or-miss. Some years, I get really into it- planning and building my costume for weeks before the big day. Other times (like this year, as I’m currently suffering from a cold), I leave the costume planning until too late, and either skip it or throw something together at the last minute. I might even recylce last year’s costume, if I’m feeling up to it.
Because the Friday Mixtape and Halloween fall on the same day this year, I’ve done a Halloween-themed mistape- all 13 tracks have something a bit ghoulish in their titles or band names. Some are obvious: Dawn Of The Dead, Vampire Weekend, and Frankenstein. Others are less obvious: Souled Out, Danse Macabre, Head Rolls Off, and The Spike. Enjoy the holiday and your themed mixtape. Next week, I’ll return with your regularly scheduled new music mix.
