Before I get to my choice
Halloween track this year I want to quickly point out the little play button
that is sitting in front of the mp3s on this page. If you click on it
the script will conveniently and quickly stream the song for you, so if you
would rather sample before committing to an actual download then that option
is now available. With that noted, let's get spooky with Hella.
I've been absolutely loving their contribution to the Grass Roots Records'
Family Album compilation that I mentioned not too long ago, and because
of that I knew that it needed to be my Halloween anthem this year.
Plus, I really didn't want to rehash the same songs from last year, as that
is a rather lame way to go about doing things. In any case, onto the
music! Enjoy.

- Friday The 13th:
This is a pure mind-fuck. Not only do the guys throw
you right into the mix of things straight from the
beginning, but then they spend the six minutes that follow
it taking your ass on the weirdest groove-inducing ride
you've ever been on. It's hard to take my breath away
these days, but this punches me in the stomach relentlessly
and forces it from every time. Here's a warning
though, putting this on at your costume party may result in
the entire crowd turning into a bunch of wild, body shaking
Neanderthals bent on destroying everything around them.
Or something.
Here is the
video for The Things That People Do When They Think No
One Is Looking, which is from the band's latest album,
There's No 666 In Outer Space. It's a straight
up gem both sonically and visually, so expect to love it.
