Huh. I know for a fact that I published this post yesterday, but forever reason when I went to my blog today, it wasn't showing...Who knows what happened...It's a day late, but check it out anyway...
RARRR!!!! I'M THE DAMN HULK!! HAPPY HALLOWEEN, EVERYBODY! Here's a buncha Halloween-ish songs you can listen to while some old horror movies flicker away harmlessly in the background...For even more you can check out last years list..
Samhain: Horror Biz
Dickies: Attack of the Mole Men
Flaming Lips: Halloween on the Barbary Coast
Ryan Adams: Halloweenhead
Pere Ubu: Thriller! (I already used Michael Jackson's "Thriller" last year, but for fun, you should try listening to these two "Thriller"'s back to back for a truly hair-raising Halloween experience...
New York Dolls: Frankenstein
The Cramps: Human Fly
Roky Erickson: Haunt
Ghost: Mummy Dust
Slayer: Spill the Blood (My friend Joe pointed out there was no Slayer on last years Halloween listening session, so I'm fixing that here..."Halloweenhead" was his recommendation too)...
Happy Halloween everybody! Here's a complete list of the songs I listened to during my own personal Halloween Friday Night Record Party...On Thursday night before bed, I raided my record collection for all the Halloween/horror related stuff I could find, and when I got home from work tonight, I popped open a couple beers and listened to these exact songs in this exact order....(Holy shit, am I plastered, excuse the typos)...I can't vouch for the quality of these youtube tracks...I didn't pre-listen to them)...
Beach Boys: Monster Mash
Dead Kennedys: Halloween
Groovie Ghoulies: Zombie Crush
Roky Erickson:White Faces
Roky Erickson: I Think of Demons
Roky Erickson: I Walked With a Zombie (I ended up listening to so many Roky Erickson songs in a row because I was busy petting my cat Corde and couldn't really change the record)...
King Diamond: Halloween
Warren Zevon: Werewolves of London (I'm calling this a Halloween song...Throughout I was singing to my cat, "Awoooo! Corde's of Tempe....")
Clutch: The Wolf Man Kindly Requests
Captain Beefheart: When I See Mommy I Feel Like a Mummy
The Damned : Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Misfits: Halloween ( Your Halloween is not complete without a listen to this song...)
Misfits: Halloween II
Bad Brains: Fearless Vampire Killers
Venom: Witching Hour
Blue Oyster Cult: Nosferatu
Bauhaus: Mask
Michael Jackson: Thriller
Dave Edmunds: The Creature from the Black Lagoon
Madness:Swan Lake (I'm choosing to view this as a Halloween song, cos they used "Swan Lake" as the soundtrack to the original Bela Lugosi Dracula film, so bleh....)
Kinks: Wicked Annabella
Black Sabbath: Children of the Grave
Half Japanese: Thing With a Hook (youtube doesn't have this, but they perform it live in the video above)
Ramones: Pet Semetary (Sic, although I might have further Sic'ed the Sic)
The Offspring: Demons (I wish the Offspring would have kept doing horror-punk,,,)
Suicidal Tendencies: Waking the Dead
Misfits: The Haunting
Balzac: The Day the Earth Caught Fire
Lillingtons: Murder on My Mind
Misfits: Night of the Living Dead (Halloween is a great excuse to listen to a fuckton of Misfits...)
Misfits: Horror Business (We were talking about what the ultimate Misfits song was and "Horror Business" was my pick...)
Ozzy Osbourne: Bark at the Moon
Candlemass: Bewitched
Parliament: Dr. Funkenstein
The Specials: Ghost Town
Iron Maiden: Phantom of the Opera
Iron Maiden:Transylvania (Eh, I just let it play...)
Ghost; Ghuleh/Zombie Queen (This is one of those songs that takes a few minutes to get going, but once it does...Hoo boy! Why didn't anyone think of a surf-pop/heavy metal hybrid before?)
Dead Milkmen: Jason's Head (For Halloween's sake, I'm choosing to view this track as a song about Jason Vorhees)...
M.O.D: Man of Your Dreams (I kind of feel bad for even owning this album...It's so racist and homophobic...Damn you, nostalgia...Eh, it's got a song about Freddy Kruger...Freddy's cool...)
Samhain: Halloween II
Screeching Weasel: Nighbreed (Nightbreed is one of my favorite films and I'm super excited for the upcoming Director's Cut Blu-Ray...I'll be the first in line...)
Wait! We forgot one! "Draculina" by Alkaline Trio! Goddamn, why don't I own a copy of "Elvira" by the Oak Ridge Boys?
Alright...I'm out of Halloween stuff...I think I'm going to choose a few randoms out of the collection! Hope you had a great Halloween!
