Live Ledge #85: Halloween
Having said that, I'm disgusted that the adults have stolen this holiday from the kids. This is supposed to be the one night that kids get to wander around the neighborhood, collecting treats from each house. Yet the combination of media scare tactics and over-protective parents have virtually caused the pile of leftover candy to grow and grow every year.
Halloween is also great for one more reason - the music. Christmas music stinks. Let's be real (even if I do a Christmas show every year). The vast majority of it audio vicodin, designed to make the most hyperactive person want to fall right to sleep.
Not so with Halloween tunes. There's a plethora of punk, garage, psychobilly, and other forms of tunes dedicated to ghosts, goblins, and every other Halloween fixture. It's only natural that for the third straight year I pull together two hours of these types of tunes.
Here's what I want you to do with this show. Unless the weather cancels Halloween, I want this to be the soundtrack for when the kids come for their treats. Since most of them are only exposed to garbage like that Bieber character, this will be a great opportunity for a cultural awakening. Do it, and make me proud.
In order to play it, you'll either need to play it on the The Ledge android/iTunes app, stream it via Stitcher, download it in iTunes (and leave me a review), or...
