I recently put together a mix for the holiday and it can be found in my latest journal on last.fm, found here: link


Anyway, I'm curious what everybody likes to listen to to put them in the mood for the holiday.
I share a cigarette with negativity.

    brainbug - nightmare

    very cool dance choon
    ...Pearl Jam, a group filled with pride, passion, and intricate musicianship. Their music is full of subtle textures, rich color, soul-searching power, imagery, and eerie dissonance.

    The Guess Who - Clap for the Wolfman




    also - instead of Hangin' Tree, the QOTSA song could be Burn the Witch (from Lullabies to Paralyze)

    No Halloween mix would be complete without Tom Waits' "What's He Building In There?"
    Are you too good to tango with the poor poor boys?

    You have the Monster Mash. That's all you need.
    "So, you must really love Led Zeppelin. That’s the oldest shirt I’ve ever seen on someone who wasn’t a bum."
    "Hey, if God didn’t want me to wear it so much, he wouldn’t have made them rock so hard."

    There's a song by slipknot on their self-titled that's pretty cool to play during Halloween. It really puts you in the mood.
    "No matter how cold the winter, there's a springtime ahead."

    The mood to listen to shitty music?

    I'm sorry that was a cheap shot.

    I just don't favor slipknot :p

    Throw the Ghostbusters theme in there, and it's like 4th grade music class all over again...

    Everyday Is Halloween - MINISTRY (or pretty much anything else by Ministry)
    In my world everyone is a pony,
    and they all eat rainbows and pooh butterflies!

    How about:

    North American Halloween Prevention Initiative - Do They Know It's Halloween?

    People may not have heard about this song that came out last year, but it's pretty funny and features Beck, Karen O, Smoosh, David Cross, Thurtson Moore and a bunch of others.

    Nick Cave - Red Right Hand

    "Cemetery" by the Headstones:

    "Went down to the cemetery lookin' for love,
    Got there and my baby was buried,
    I had to dig her up."
    "I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."

    -Tom Waits

    This came up on another list I'm on. Here are some of the responses (may be dupes from above)

    Spirit in the Night - Springsteen
    Stonehenge - Spinal Tap
    Boris the Spider - The Who
    Halloween on the Barbary Coast - Flaming Lips
    Halloween Parade - Lou Reed
    Halloween - Dead Kennedys
    Halloween - Sonic Youth
    Chupacabras - Super Furry Animals
    Chase The Devil (IronShirt) - Max Romeo
    Dead Man's Party - Oingo Boingo (Actually, a majority of their output
    makes for good Halloween music)
    Werewolves of London - David Lindley & El-Rayo X's cover is quite good too.
    Evil Woman - E.L.O.
    Strange Magic - E.L.O.
    Devil Doll - X
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    what about Black No. 1 by type o negative! fuckin' classic

    She's in love with herself
    She likes the dark
    On her milk white neck
    The Devil's mark
    It's All Hallows Eve
    The moon is full
    Will she trick or treat?
    I bet she will
    She's got a date at midnight with Nosferatu
    Oh baby, Lily Munster ain't got nothing on you
    Well, when I called her evil
    She just laughed and cast that spell on me
    Boo bitch craft
    CHORUS
    Yeah, you wanna go out 'cause it's raining and blowing
    You can't go out 'cause your roots are showing
    Dye 'em black black black
    Black No. 1
    Little wolf skin boots
    And clove cigarettes
    An erotic funeral
    For which she's dressed
    Her perfume smells like
    Burning leaves
    Everyday is Halloween
    CHORUS
    Loving you was like loving the dead
    My favorite Pearl Jam song: "Corporate Greed Boat Asshole Behind a Counter in the Oval Office"
