I've been diggin post-punk for the last week, looking for Halloween songs. I've got a 45 minute mix of songs so far:

1. The Dream Syndicate - Halloween
2. Bush Tetras - Things That Go Boom in the Night
3. Xmal Deutschland - In Der Nacht
4. Siouxsie and the Banshees - Spellbound
5. Echo and the Bunnymen - Yo-Yo Man
6. Scars - C'est la Mort
7. The Sound - Skeleton
8. The Comstat Angels - Dark Parade
9. The Comateens - Ghosts
10. Public Image, Ltd. - Graveyard
11. A Certain Ratio - All Night Party
12. The Birthday Party - Release the Bats

Black metal is good for Halloween.

i really like the first song on Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... but i just dont see the appeal in any of the others

Sonic Youth- Halloween

A couple of users on here have said that it's the band's best song. I don't know about that, but there's something really special about it. Feels more like a spoken word piece by Kim with some clunky guitar and drums; I guess it fits with the mood of [i]Bad Moon Rising[/i] (not to mention the cover art) so it deserves being checked out.

Calexico - The Black Light

i got this really in-depth scholarly article called "left of the dial: an introduction to underground rock, 1980-2000" its a little more thorough than azerrad's book and covers way more bands :)

so i just found out that my yoga teacher taught mike d of the beastie boys :-O

you must have skipped rainy dayz.

OB4CL was a hard album for me to get into at first. I was especially frustrated that I couldn't tell the difference between Ghostface and Raekwon. It's been a true grower.

I have a lyrics plugin for winamp which tells me, so I've never had that problem. The only thing I really found difficult was the length of it. It doesn't bother as much these days but still, a few of those songs in the second half of the album are unnecessary.

in general though, 1 hr + rap albums? no thanks.

i think the production sucks

1 Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti 41

5 Elevator to Hell 16
6 TwinSisterMoon 15
6 Electric Wizard 15
8 Darkspace 11
8 Robert Wyatt 11
10 Amon Düül II 10

Tom Waits - [I]Orphans[/I]

All of it but a little more of the Bawlers disc.

David Bowie - [I]The Man Who Sold the World[/I]

Charles Mingus - [I]Blues & Roots[/I]
Indian Summer - [I]Discography[/I]

blues and roots has one good song

Swell Maps - [I]A Trip to Marineville[/I]

I think this is as good as [I]Jane from Occupied Europe[/I] but I haven't listened to it enough to make a real judgement

Toby Driver - [I]In the L...L...Library Loft[/I]
Philip Glass - [I]Glassworks[/I]
Tartar Lamb - [I]Sixty Metonymies [/I]

Digging modern classical type stuff I guess. Someone recommend me some more music like this.

Try Krzysztof Penderecki. St. Lukes Passion is a masterpiece in atonal work. Giacinto Scelsi is more classic and more beautiful. You already know Arvo Pärt right? György Ligeti is a must-have too.
