YEAR ROUND FUN

Holy hell, when it comes to mixes, the damn Halloween well never dries.  After eighteen of them, you'd think that there'd be some amount of satiation over here. Nope. Because Halloween mixes, in contrast to mixes for other holidays, usually have keepers good for the whole year. Really, if the tunes on a Halloween mix are primarily older songs, let's say late fifties to mid-sixties, it's usually a better mix that a non-topical mix covering the same era. At least part of the reason is because the artists already have to be a little weird, creepy or off the wall. Either that, or they're willing to taint what could be a serious music career with some goofy-ass novelty songs, and artistic desperation is always rife with something slightly off.  Regardless, a lot of the songs are instrumentals anyway, albeit with a scream or ghoulish laugh here and there.

So here's four mixes all from Grey Haus, and they look to be good enough to keep the creep ball rolling.  I sampled Volume 7, based on the inclusion of Screaming Lord Sutch's "All Black and Hairy", and it ruled.  So I'm going to be tied up for a bit.  You should be too.
