Halloween Mix! 

I aimed for creepy rather than like, all industrial or metal, because where’s the fun in that? As much as I enjoy some good metal, the original version of this ended up boring as a result. But with a newer, more functional computer, it was much easier to put something together, and here it is. I also bring it around a little at the end to more fun songs … except that Beach Boys song happens to have been written by Charles Manson.

Sorry there’s no playlist file, but the songs are intended to be played in this order: 

1. “Birds Of Fire” Mahavishnu Orchestra

2. “The Dumb In The Rain” by Liars

3. “Jordan, Minnesota” by Big Black

4. “Nosferatu Man” by Slint

5. “Black Sabbath” by Coven

6. “The Curse Of Millhaven” by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

7. “Feed the Enemy” by Magazine

8. “Trapped In A Basement” by Black Lips

9.” Black Cat” by Broadcast

10. “Janitor of Lunacy” by Nico

11. “Holocaust” by Big Star

12. “Ghost Story” by John Cale

13. “For The Wars” by Clinic

14. “Nancy Sings” by Jandek

15. “House That Dripped Blood” by The Mountain Goats

16. “I Don’t Know” by Willie Mabon

17. “Down by the Water” by PJ Harvey

18. “The God Of Sleep Has Made His House” by Current 93

19. “Attack Of The Giant Ants” by Blondie

20. “Never Learn Not To Love” by The Beach Boys

Live, Architecture in Helsinki put a really hypnotizing spin on “Do the Whirlwind” that I thought definitely worth sharing. Bird adds this whole new synth phrase on the beginning, and there’s a moment where you recognize definitively what it is and Franklin starts playing the clicker and everything sort of comes together flawlessly. 

THE DRUMS | Money

Jonathan Pierce and Jacob Graham met at summer camp when they were children and have been best friends ever since. The Drums were formed in late 2006. Relocating to New York, The Drums added former Elkland guitarist Adam Kessler on second guitar and NYC born drummer Connor Hanwick (formerly of lo-fi teen pop duo Cape Of No Hope) to the line up and set up a month long residency at a small club on the lower east side of Manhattan. As of September 2010, guitarist Adam Kessler has left the band.

It seems to me that this band has been through some changes here and there but nonetheless the sound is still authentic as it is. The surf rock’esque poppy feel is uplifting and it just randomly came up on my shuffle as I was doing work at my desk. This is their hit single that really got this album moving and it’s simply a fun song. I can totally see this being played at show and everyone just movin’ their feet clapping their hands to the beat and of course, especially those girls just prancing around like no one’s watching letting their hair loose getting crazy (nothing wrong with that - saw that at American Apparel once and girl was embarrassed since I was watching). 

If you’re into this kind of sound - I recommend this album. That’s if you’re looking for something new or that upbeat and fun-moving sound.
