Halloween is a great holiday, as it is as much about celebration as it is atmosphere. Everyone has certain sounds and noises (imagine the disembodied laughter of a child or the fading sounds of a carousel song). It is the perfect time to release some great moody music, and what better band to do it than Black Moth Super Rainbow? As if every day isn't Halloween already with Black Moth Super Rainbow . These noisy, psychedelic, poppy Pennsylvanians combine their already-trippy music with even crazier visuals, so it comes as no surprise that the band embraces the [...]
Writing an introduction for these things is becoming increasingly difficult. After all, each new Friday Mixtape seems to one up the last, leaving me scouring the thesaurus in hopes of finding a new way to say awesome! Awe-inspiring? Wondrous? Mind-blowing? All work... and all describe this week's edition, which of course features a mix of the best new singles, remixes, and covers as well as mp3s from some up-and-comers you just might want to check out. NEW Singles: "Shape Shifter" by Armistead Burwell Smith IV (of Pinback) [...]
As you may have realized by now, we've moved Free Music Fridays from a weekly to a biweekly occurrence. What does this mean to you? It means more time and more free MP3s each time around: all free and legal for you to download and enjoy... just click the band name for the band's site and the song name for the MP3. In addition, we're continuing with our visual art education/appreciation theme for these posts. The above work, Woman with a Lute by Johannes Vermeer [...]

The special Halloween 73 comes as a picture disc, and a glow in the dark sleeve. It's pretty limited, so I'd pre-order one now if you're into awesome [...]

...then you're just not hearing it! Graveface is one of the raddest labels around and to treat our fantasies to such Halloween delight is just too rich - we're going to get cavities! For the generation that 'has it all' we're lacking one of many things and that's a new Halloween song, all of this monster mashing has given me bruises and sores. To this year's advantage members of Black Moth Super Rainbow, The Appleseed Cast, Dreamend and Casket Girls have collaborated on what will become an annual treat, Marshmallow Ghosts , and in Graveface ideology [...]
I have a confession to make, friends. I don't really dig on Halloween. It isn't my favorite holiday. It isn't even in my top twenty. Don't ask me why - I don't really know. I mean, I used to loooove Halloween (though I probably went dressed as a "hobo" 75% of the time and five years running), and then, one year, I didn't. Maybe it was going to college, when it became a frat boy holiday and the ubiquitous "sexy (fill in the blank)" costumes took over. Maybe I just became a bastard. Like I said, I don't really know.
