Halloween will soon be upon us ... It is but a mere 6 days away!!! The dead leaves are falling ... the nights are getting chillier ... the ghosts and ghouls are all slowly coming out of their nooks and crannies! Hope you have your scary jack-o-lantern carved!
Want some phantasmagoric music to help you get set for All Hallow's Eve? Well, you're totally in for a treat (or is it a trick?! haha ...)
The ever-creative Beth Ragland has created an over-the-top awesome Halloween mixtape called "Bad Muffin Thriller Mix" and it is so very wickedly excellent! My favorite thing about it is that 85% of the music isn't stuff you've ever heard included on a Halloween mix before ... This playlist is chock-full of more unpredictable, atypical and (ahem) ... modern sounds ... Just listen for yourself, if you dare!
Thanks, Beth!!!
You can download Beth's mix HERE.
And that's not all! It's the end of the month again, so (as always) it's time for a new episode of "Thrift Store Vinyl Radio" ... As you may have guessed, this program will be filled with many scratchy, spooktacular stories and sound effects ... You might even recognize some scary records from your childhood ... who knows? ... I didn't speak on it because I was afraid of taking away from the thrilling and chilling mood these records create!
So turn out all the lights cuz here it is!
ENJOY!!! Muahahahaha!!!
Wanna download it? Well you can RIGHT HERE.
