So says Jamie Naugher, who has created for you a spectacularly spooky mixtape entitled "The October People"!!! This mix makes me wanna go grooving through a graveyard!I dig how it's filled with both vintage and modern and, at times, very atypical Halloween tunes! Excellent!

And what does Jamie have to say about her creepy compilation?

"I've chosen a quote from Ray Bradbury to describe my Halloween mix.

'For these beings, fall is ever the normal season, the only weather, there be no choice beyond. Where do they come from? The dust. Where do they go? The grave. Does blood stir their veins? No: the night wind. What ticks in their head? The worm. What speaks from their mouth? The toad. What sees from their eye? The snake. What hears with their ear? The abyss between the stars. They sift the human storm for souls, eat flesh of reason, fill tombs with sinners. They frenzy forth....Such are the [october] people.' "

I couldn't have said it better myself!
Thanks a billion, Jamie!

And now, get ready for one hell of a Halloween hootenanny! Happy haunting!

Speaking of monstrous mixes, here's a nice vinyl one I did last Halloween!

Also ... Hey look! Below are some photos of the window display I did for Serge: Sewing Shop, located on 2030B 11th Ave. South in Birmingham, Alabama. The pieces hang and slowly twirl around, slowly revealing random mask and clothing combinations! It'll be up all month, so drive over and check it out!

And speaking of driving over, the second installment of the Eastlake Arts District's Art in Empty Windows project is now up along the 7600 block of 1st Ave North.This installation features the works of Alabama artists myself, Pat Snow, Lindsay Mouysal, Emily Neel and Roger Jones.

Here's a bit of photographic evidence:

Check it out!
HERE is a rather wonderful article about the extremely inspirational artist & musician Billy Childish!

Also ... It’s that time of year!
The leaves are dead and falling, and since Halloween is the season of giving, Fred & Daily (my brother Peter and I!) have decided to TREAT (or could it be a TRICK?) everyone to a rather special digital download …it's our Halloween album, "Mask Cemetery"!
