David, I'm always interested in your Halloween mixes!
It's gotten interesting because there are several music blogs devoted solely to Hallwoeen music, year-round. So just about every vinyl oddity/rarity has been digitized. Unfortunately, that means I have to comb through vast swatches of post-Monster Mash knockoffs and parodies with things like "I Want To Bite Your Hand" done in a faux Bela voice.
And I've been feeling the need for more eerie dark folky music this past week or so.
Yeah, well I've definitely got a bunch of that on hand.
I'd say I would post that stuff tonight but I'm going drinking with Buffistas tonight at Tres Agaves!
We listened to Siouxsie as we decorated the house for Halloween last night. It was fun!
URLs, please?

I have had some excellent scores at Music You (Possibly) Won't Hear Anywhere Else. It's currently looking at the long tradition of Halloween/Christmas music conflation (which apparently goes back well before Nightmare Before Xmas).

Just last week, I grabbed the audio from an episode that featured the Clientele and Mates of State and played their songs on my show!
