HAPPY HALLOWEEN! #1 song for Halloween goes to one of my favorite bands: RAMMSTEIN. I remember watching this video and thinking what in the hell?!? Background on the “Mein Teil” is that it was inspired by the case of Armin Meiwes, who was convicted for killing and eating a voluntary victim. Even knowing the background, made the video even more disturbing. Christoph is dressed as a … Continue reading #1: “Mein Teil”
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Song #2 goes to the iconic ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW. Every Halloween, I still watch this film and have since I was 13. I didn’t quite get it when I was a naive teen, but it’s an absolute favorite of mine! [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bc80tFJpTuo?rel=0] Continue reading #2: “Sweet Transvestite”
Happy Halloween! This was a tough decision. I couldn’t decide between “Cowboys from Hell” or this song, “Cemetery Gates,” but in the end it had to be this song. This PANTERA song is the one that made me dig the band and as a teen the black and white video with the priest was always creepy to me.

Happy Halloween! Song #4 is the song that put WHITE ZOMBIE and ROB ZOMBIE on the map of music! I remember the first time I heard this song. MIND BLOWN. I was slightly frightened and intrigued by the band. They were scary and sexy in sound. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPNFVj-pISU?rel=0] Continue reading #4: “Thunder Kiss ’65”
Happy Halloween! I’d like to give you 31 songs that are our spook-tacular, but I’ll just give you my top 5 favorite “spooky, creepy, haunting” songs or songs that are barely tethered to Halloween.

JACK SAVORETTI is quickly becoming one of my favorite artists to listen to and his cover of BOB DYLAN‘s “Nobody Cept’ You” is just beautiful. Filmed for COSMOPOLITAN QUARTET SESSIONS presented by Ont’ Sofa, the strings are an absolute perfect pairing to Jack’s voice. He turned the song into a love song from the heart. Listen and fall in love. JACK SAVORETTTI: Facebook | Twitter | … Continue reading Cover Song: “Nobody Cept’ You”
Words cannot describe how excited I am to have this song/video in my life. Actually, to be honest, I am just happy to have new EMIGRATE in my life. For those unfamiliar with EMIGRATE, the band is RICHARD KRUSPE of RAMMSTEIN‘s band. Not a solo project but another band. His words, not mine. Those who aren’t familiar with RAMMSTEIN may think EMIGRATE is similar in … Continue reading Track of the Day: “Eat You Alive” by Emigrate
I discovered MISHKA from a JIMMY BUFFETT tweet about two years ago. Jimmy congratulated MISHKA for having the number one reggae album on iTunes and I gave OCEAN IS MY POTION a listen and fell in love with MISHKA‘s sound and vibe. For those who like background story’s on artist, MISHKA, has a great one, involving JIMMY BUFFETT. Jimmy’s song “Chanson pour les petits enfants” … Continue reading Track of the Day: “Riddim For Your Rights” by Mishka
ARTIST: Queensrÿche SONG: “I Don’t Believe in Love” ALBUM: OPERATION: MINDCRIME, available now Queensrÿche might have put concept albums and rock opera albums on the “metal” map with OPERATION: MINDCRIME. It was their 3rd studio release and gave us the story of a recovering drug addict who becomes disillusioned with the corrupt society of his time and reluctantly becomes involved with a revolutionary group as an assassin … Continue reading Music Brought to You By the Letter: “Q” – Queensrÿche
ARTIST: Portishead SONG: “Sour Times” ALBUM: DUMMY, available now This artist was actually chosen by a reader/follower on Twitter and I’m bummed their account is no longer active because I had kind of forgotten how much I dug DUMMY by PORTISHEAD and how much I loved “Sour Times.” I want to say thanks to them, so a shout to the PORTISHEAD fan! PORTISHEAD: Facebook | Twitter | Website … Continue reading Music Brought to You by the Letter: “P” – Portishead
