Highlights from the Voodoo Experience: 30 October - 1 November 2009 - New Orleans / In its 11th year the festival welcomed a plethora of musical greats to help embrace New Orleans under Halloween's spell.

There's a couple of angles I can go with here. I should probably start by saying I played a lot of video games as a child. Not bragging or anything. I can beat Mega Man 2 in an hour and a half. No big deal. I could finish Double Dragon without using the jump kick. Look, I didn't have a lot of friends. I didn't need them; I had Dragon Warrior III. So old-school video games have a special place in my heart. That's why I like the genre of 8-bit music : making music [...]

It's been another banner week 'round these parts as we fought off the post-Festival 8 blues by staying busy. Our main focus this week was Halloween coverage. Between Chad's Mule-O-Ween review , Matt and Tim's Biscuits Halloween coverage , my roundup and Dave O's very special Halloween edition of Last Week's Sauce we had you covered. Our most controversial piece of the week was Chad's interview with John Kadlecik of the Dark Star Orchestra (for now). We also debuted a new column called [...]

If we remember nothing else about Halloween 2009, maybe we'll at least recall it was the night that two of the world's marquee jambands both turned in ace renditions of the Rolling Stones' Exile On Main Street obscurity Ventilator Blues. Stranger things have happened, right? Right? Bueller? [All Photos by Heath Robson from Mule.Net ] On a smaller scale than some marginal little festival happening out West, Gov't Mule brought the Mick and Keef goods to Philly on All Hallow's Eve, playing an oddly selected, [...]

image source DuneBuggy - "W Thing" Imagine you're me. It's two days before Hallowe'en, and you're in the dollar store. There's a CD there of "Hallowe'en Scary Sounds". It's got a shitty graphic on it that looks like it was designed by someone who had only ever read about H ween; like "cats, witches, orange and black, now get to work". It's a dollar, and it's a whole CD worth of stuff. You buy it, right? Of course you do. But then you [...]
I'm off to Chicago for the weekend, bros. Unfortunately, due to work constraints and leaving town immediately afterwards, I don't have a lot of time to write a fun Halloween-themed entry. So... I'm kinda copping out and reposting what I put together last year. However, since there are a lot more readers now than a year ago at this time, perhaps many of you all missed these gems. To that end, reposing is warranted. Happy Halloween, folks. Hope you don't see too many stupid zombie Michael Jackson costumes. Okay... One of my favorite Halloween past-times is dusting off [...]
