Holy shiite.

I got me some downloading to do. This was part comp for me but also working on a podcast. From all them suggestions, gotta trim it down to 11 killer songs that will make your spines tingled, your gooses bumped and so on. Tough feat.

I found Mercury Rev's All is Dream a perfect album to listen to for the season while cleaning my house on saturday.

Here are a few more from Seth Warren's 3 disc set that I find particularly creepy or fun:

Diamanda Galas--Birds of Death
Rosetta Stone--The Witch
Virgin Prunes--Pagan Love Song
Gerard McMann--Cry Little Sister
Xmal Deutschland--Incubus Succubus
Alien Sex Fiend--Now I'm Feeling Zombified

I'd add Goodbye Horses by Q Lazzarus--for it's association with Jame Gumb and his skin suit.

Dudes, Gary Gilmore's Eyes. Adverts. Do I have to do everything around here?

Just buy this:
Just Can't Get Enough: New Wave Halloween

this is why she and Lump are my all-time favorite posters.

Edit: I totally forgot about that halloween song with the Beck and the David Cross and the Thurston and whatnot.

Thanks, babe. You're alright yourself.

Ramones - Chain Saw
Lightning Bolt - 13 Monsters
Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast

a lot of Tom Waits stuff could work, including "The Black Rider"

That's it! That's the disk I was trying to remember...

The Specials - Ghost Town

T.S.O.L are always forgotten in favour of the Misfits. 'Code Blue' is the best necrophilic song of all time.

I'd burn more of these, but I'm having Nero issues. Ever tried reading a Nero playlist through Notepad? It's not fun.

The list:

Disc 1
1. Ministry - "Everyday Is Halloween"

If I think of any more, I'll post them.

The result:

Was a bitch trying to cut it down to 12 but I got it done. I wish I had found that Johnny Dowd song. A dude that shits nightmares as gots to be listened to.

I approved of Mr Idiot's podcast.
