The Ledge #688: Halloween

I must admit I was of two minds about when to do this year's special Halloween show. My first thought was that since the actual holiday falls on a Ledge night I'd just save it for that evening. Makes perfect sense, right? But then again, it's a dated show once it hits November. Isn't it smarter to do it a full week ahead so fans of ghoulish rock and roll can enjoy my spooky favorites for a full week? That's what I decided to do.

Like every special Halloween broadcast, tonight's episode is full of almost all brand new tunes for the ocassion. Many are special releases for the trick or treaters, such as new singles by Vista Blue, Brad Marino, Lynda Mandolyn, and The Goldstars. Others come from full-blown Halloween albums, such as Big Stir's Chilling, Thrilling Hooks and Haunted Harmonies and The Halloween EP by The Bacarrudas. Other tunes come from regular releases from the last few months that just happened to fit the horror theme.
