happy halloween everyone! just got finished taking mac out trick or treating, and now we sit in an empty house. movers came today, so we will be sleeping on the floor this evening. the moving guys were super cool and will delivering our shit on sunday instead of monday. the thought of having to spend multiple nights without furniture and sleeping on hardwood floors didnt sound all that appealing. so kudos to these chaps…

i dont have any awesome halloween mix to post, but i do have something probably as creepy. admittedly, this is a repost but me thinks it fits the nights mood. i should mention that these are the demos to mr waits’ the black rider.

1. the black rider

2. november

3. the right bullets

4. the briar and the rose

5. george schmid

6. chase the clouds away

7. flash pan hunter

8. instrumental

9. t’aint no sin

10. in the morning

11. gospel train

12. i’ll shoot the moon

13. instrumental

14. the last rose of summer

ummm, one thing that i kind of forgot about, actually not really forgot but chose to ignore, is having to come up with a security deposit on a place. yeah, having to come up with $2600 within the next few weeks is going to be a bit rough. not sure how we are going to work that one, but i imagine will figure out something. this is the joint we are thinkin bout.

2. dont crack

for some reason i had always strayed away from somebody still loves you boris yeltsin and the only reason i can give is that their name turned me off. not sure what i was expecting, but it sure has hell wasnt jangly pop. their new record pershing is simply just a great pop record that if you are fan of fountains of wayne, beulah, apples in stereo, etc will definitely dig these lads.

if for some reason you the slap in the face sounds of drive like jehu have never graced your ears, here are the two first tracks from their classic yank crime. from the ashes of jehu came the likes of rocket from the crypt and hot snakes, but spawned countless intimidators along the way.

here come the rome plows

do you compute

really liking this song, “cherry tulips” from headlights’ some racing, some stopping.

wanna thank the fine folks at the scott ford radio board for hooking me up with these black rider demos. for those who dont know, the black rider is a “musical fable” in the form of a theatre production created by tom waits. in terms of sheer creepiness i would give these demos a pretty solid 7, only slightly less apocalyptic than bone machine.

1. the black rider

2. november

3. the right bullets

4. the briar and the rose

5. george schmid

6. chase the clouds away

7. flash pan hunter
