John Carpenter - Halloween 2018

Rocky horror is usually my Halloween day spin but I already used it for this challenge so I’m going with some straight up horror! Happy Halloween everyone!

Day 30: “Blinding Lights”
play your favourite record (or one that's constantly in your rotation)

Tom Petty ~ Wildflowers

 

[Wicked Dreamer]

chart history has just been made (again), so I’ve decided to throw in a little something extra…

Bonus: Midnights



Thanks to the huge streams & sales this album got, not only has she scored her best first-week numbers yet, but as of today she’s become the first artist to occupy the entire top 10 with songs from that album!


all 13 standard edition tracks made the top 15 btw​

Day 30: “Blinding Lights”

Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly



My favourite album at one point (still in my top 5) and one of the most played records in my collection!

Rob Zombie - Hellbilly Deluxe

Bonus: Midnights
Six Degrees of Taylor Swift (play a Taylor record or something/someone connected to Taylor or her work)

OK, according to the Taylor Swift Disney Wiki, Taylor Swift had a cameo in Hannah Montana The Movie, and also in Take Two with Phineas and Ferb. So that puts here within 6 degrees of this release somehow, right?

Thanks for the fun month @Wicked Dreamer ! Loved the approach!

A Disneyland Record ~ Chilling, Thrilling Sounds of the Haunted House

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Day 30: “Blinding Lights”
play your favourite record (or one that's constantly in your rotation)

Pavement - Crooked Rain Crooked Rain

I have lots of “favorite” records depending on when ya ask me. On this rainy fall day Crooked Rain Crooked Rain seems to fit the bill nicely.

Day 31: “Monster Mash”

Misfits - Collection II

Glenn Danzig is basically Halloween personified… hell, this record has 2 songs entitled Halloween. Also, has necrophilia ever sounded more darkly romantic than on “Last Caress”?

 

[CroutonBoy]

Thanks for hosting this, @Wicked Dreamer ! Was super fun and got me listening to and thinking about records I hadn't in a while. Looking forward to November!

Six Degrees of Taylor Swift (play a Taylor record or something/someone connected to Taylor or her work)

Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago

I am kinda indifferent to Taylor Swift’s charm personally (outside of “Shake It Off” which is one of the best Pop songs of my generation). That being said she has been recording lots of music with Indie Rock stalwarts over the past few years; one of the Dressner Brothers, Justin Vernon probably some others too. I decided to go with Bon Iver as it feels like a chilly Autumn album.

This has been a blast @Wicked Dreamer ! Thanks for putting this together especially on a bit of a short notice.

For those interested in keeping the party going, I have posted the November Challenge Thread ahead of tomorrow. Someone’s gonna score a free record!

check it out…

Day 31: “Monster Mash”

Michael Jackson - Scream



A compilation of his spookiest songs (minus “Morphine” & “Is It Scary” for some reason), this has been required listening for me every Halloween!

Six Degrees of Taylor Swift (play a Taylor record or something/someone connected to Taylor or her work)

The National - High Violet




Here's a twofer for you - High Violet features longtime Taylor Swift collaborator Aaron Dessner in his day job with The National but also has spooky tracks such as Afraid of Everyone and Anyone's Ghost.

This was a fun month @Wicked Dreamer - thanks for hosting!
