Happy All Hallow's Eve

Back in the day, one of our favorite things around this time of the year, was the Halloween programming offered by various DJs over the years on KBOO, Portland's listener supported FM radio station.
First I used to listen to the nearly six-hour long mix offered up by Mr. B and Equinox. They played a pretty tame show, mainly lots of novelty Halloween songs mixed in with Punk, New Wave and the occasional prog-rock track, all with a horror/supernatural theme.
Later in the mid-eighties, it was the Autonomy Hour, which featured Post-Punk and Industrial/Noise every Thursday night , and their Halloween program was always frightening and dark. Kathy Fors took over the reigns of that program after rotating hosts and her Halloween programs continued to get darker every year. Lots of industrial and extreme Gothic music (before the genre had a formula) played equal time with movie soundbites and real life serial killer interviews. Extreme Christian whacko music played over the top of apparently genuine satanic music. I tried to catch her show every year, and have taped many hours of it.
In that light(?) we offer the following mix of creepy music and sound.
We can't claim to be able to make you convulse with dread, as her programs did, but hope you accept this little trick or treat in the spirit it's offered.
Happy Samhain.

This great and legally gray site has been dodgy lately.
They went (sort of) 404 on us for a couple of weeks, came back, and are alternately slow, times out, has limited functionality (search doesn't work, no more preview) and hasn't added much in the way of new music since coming back.
Also, whole artists seem to be disappearing from the site, so we can assume that their woes are more legal than anything else.
Looking at the forum section reveals what looks like a virtual run on the bank, with lots of other unhappy customers reporting similar findings/frustrations and about to go drain their accounts before the borscht bubble bursts.
I'm in the process of doing the same, but it's mucked up right now- probably due to the above reasons.

70's Wuss-Rock Apocalypse

WFMU's Beware of he Blog has a great/terrible sampling of 70's MOR softrock hits:

This post concerns the most utterly mediocre music ever made, and the earth-shatteringly banal (and interchangeable) "bands" that made it - and yet I'm doing you a favor. Because I know you can't tell them apart, and it's been bugging you, as it's been bugging me, to match the SMOOTH HIGH-HARMONIED 1974-80 AM RADIO HIT to the ANONYMOUS WHITE, LIKELY MUSTACHIOED GUYS WITH THE LONG-FORGOTTEN NAME who made it.

Can you honestly tell the difference between Ambrosia and Pablo Cruise? Ace and Pilot? Have the words "whutchoo gonna do when she says goodbye? whutchoo gonna do when she is gone?" been permanently etched onto your ear, yet without the courtesy of an author to claim resposibility? I'm here for YOU. This is a PUBLIC SERVICE. Honestly, I'm sure this'll do you some good. (And I actually really like 2 of these songs! .... OK, one and a half.)

If you grew up in the seventies, these songs will likely ressurect long lost memories and traumas and may require hours and hours of Throbbing Gristle, Merzbow and Einstürzende Neubauten to sand-blast these sound-bites out of the deepest crevices of your brain.

Strange Reaction and Something I learned Today

If you are reading this post as a result of following breadcrumbs left by music-file seekers, chances are you are no stranger to these two great sites.
Strange Reaction and Something I learned Today are twin titans of forgotten punk, both offering fantastic info, sounds and cover scans of obscure and not so obscure punk gems.
Both are good places to see and hear bands who didn't quite survive to sell lots of T-Shirts in Hot Topics and to give punk vinyl collector snobs headaches.
I always thought, back in the day, that somebody would dredge up all these lesser known bands and give them the Pebbles treatment.
No one really has yet - at least CD-wise to that famous comp series' extent that I'm aware of, but this is better 'cuz it's all free - again, to the chagrin of collector snobs.
Check 'em out:

Something I learned Today

Philip K. Nixon has a Dream...

...And you were in it.
This is like having both sides of your brain slowly sauted in motor oil and served up to our reptilian overlords.
Enjoy.

Rabbit Hole-HELL!

This is the motherlode of conspiratorial weirdness.
Lotsa movies and soundfiles of the Alex Jones, Jeff Rense variety.
Keep tabs on the Illuminazis, if you have the bandwidth and nerves of steel!

I especially recommend the complete film A Funny Thing Happened on the Way To the Moon and an entire album that DJ Spooky mixed for Adbusters a few years back, entitled Live Without Deadtime.

That Sucks.

A Vast Open Dex of Arabic Music

WOW!
Where to start? There's lots here.
Thought I'd throw this out before I forget about it.

One could get lost in this giant maze of multi-user folders.
There's Iraqi music, some old recordings, and even some instrumentals.
Right now I'm digging this Oud piece from an album entitled Raga Roots.

Remember when...

In the early Nineties, Jesus was 900 feet tall.
But now, The Truth is Out of Style.
