Any Major Halloween Mix 1
This is the first of two Halloween mixes I”ll be posting this week. The present mix, timed to fit on standard CD-R, is supposed to comprise vaguely creepy or eerie music. The kind of stuff that might freak out Bart, Lisa and Milhouse in their treehouse. Ghosts, spooks, witches, devils, murderers, weird people (like the coffin-building boy in Florence and the Machine”s excellent song), voodoo and so on. Marie Floating Over The Backyard apparently still scares Any Minor Dude”s friend, two years after he first heard it.
The second mix, which will go up mid-week, will be a bit more lighthearted, and even without the overcooked Monster Mash and Rocky Horror Picture Show.

I have a good few songs left over for a mix next Halloween. But there are two ghostly soldier songs I’ll want to add to this lot, one as an antidote to Warren Zevon’s more ubiquitous Halloween song:
Warren Zevon – Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner.mp3
Stan Ridgway – Camouflage.mp3
.
Cool to see some love for Stan Ridgway. A friend’s fiancee is in an Americana band and I was touting Camouflage as a song that they should cover.
Thanks. You may see any favorites I find on this posted on my blog next October.
oh yeah!!!! Fresh blood. Right on time, I can’t wait to play them at my Halloween Quiz tonight.
And dead soldiers – great pick. Two of my all time favourite songs. Ever…from there to Johannesburg.
Can’t wait for Wednesday.
Again, props for the Stan Ridgway.
Thanks for the seasonal tuneage.
You did a fine job here.
Really enjoyed these – thanks. Along similar lines I’d recommend The Hoodoo Gurus’ Hayride To Hell.
A slow and steady commitment to razing hell in the hard rock and metal community has generated this list that I have been compiling. My mix will not be done for a while, but since it seems that others have more time than I, Here it is for your efforts to complete if you are so ambitious.
Peace.
