Day 30: Trick or Treats
Spin something that is as sweet as “fun sized” butterfingers

Portishead - Dummy

Yes, things are a bit "Sour" early on, but after realizing "It Could Be Sweet" we get a "Biscuit."

I love Common's sample of 'Open Your Eyes' on 'The Light'!

I love Common's sample of 'Open Your Eyes' on 'The Light'!

Searching for samples is what first got me into digging. If it wasn’t for that, I would’ve never discovered albums like the Bobby Caldwell that I wouldn’t have given a second look otherwise!

Day 30: Trick or Treats

Since I'm gonna watch this movie tonight or tomorrow I figured I'd spin the score here.

As for it being a Picture Disc, it isn't bad - I would replace it with a non-picture disc if I would find one.

Douglas Pipes ‎– Trick 'r Treat
Waxwork Records ‎– WW006, 2009/2017

As for the movie - I only first watched it last year and really liked it.

Day 31: Happy Halloween

Skull Snaps - Skull Snaps



Appropriate for Halloween only because of the name and album cover. It’s almost as if whoever designed it never listened to the actual record (which is really good, by the way)

Happy last day, everyone! This was the first month where I actually stayed up on it all the way through and I had a lot of fun. Thanks to @TenderLovingKiller® for putting this together

 

[LeeVing]

Nice job hosting this month @TenderLovingKiller®

Day 31 - Halloween!

Well, I planned on my copy of The Fog being here by now but it's stuck in USPS somewhere so I'll go to my backup.



Thanks for running this one @TenderLovingKiller® !

Day 31 - Halloween

I’ll be running through all my Halloween soundtracks today, but I’ll start the day with some tangentially appropriate records.



Thanks for another great month @TenderLovingKiller® !

Day 31 - Halloween Bonus Entry

Root Boy Slim - Don't Let this Happen to You

This one seemed appropriate for today also...
Featuring:
When You Date the Undead
It's Only Murder
and
House Band in Hell

Day 31: Happy Halloween

Jimmy Smith ‎– Monster (Verve Records, 1965 First UK Stereo Pressing)

This is a really eclectic mix of themes from Halloween/fantasy sitcoms like the Munsters, Bewitched, etc and original compositions such as Oliver Nelson's 'The Creeper'. Really fun record. Happy Halloween everyone.

Special thanks to @TenderLovingKiller® for setting this month up, its been really fun!

Edit: In an eerie coincidence this album opens to the themes (parts 1 & 2) from 'Goldfinger', which Sean Connery starred in.

Day 31: Happy Halloween

Thanks for a fun month @TenderLovingKiller®, seems appropriate you got October with a name like that.

Gotta go with my high school favorites. Great memories of seeing them in their Halloween run at Irvine Meadows.

Day 31: Happy Halloween
Spin something appropriate for the occasion

No true Halloween albums in my collection but, Lux pops pills like candy, damns souls with rock-'n'-roll and is a creature from a black (leather) lagoon on this one.

Thanks for hosting @TenderLovingKiller® !!!

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Thanks for the kind words everybody! It’s been fun!

The party ain’t ending it’s just moving over to @D Jilla ’s place...
