Hallowe'en

Today, listening to music, it occurred to me that it’s kind of interesting that I have songs for almost every holiday (including multiple songs about Mothers’ Day) -- except Hallowe’en. At least none that I can think of.

Maybe if I listened to the Misfits more, this would not be the case -- didn’t some punk band have a whole album called Halloween? The sad thing is, three years ago, I would have totally known the answer to that.

Now, the closest to Hallowe’en I can get is a David & the Citizens song which mentions a mean witch, and which isn’t really close at all. But anyway. It’s called Now She Sleeps in a Box in the Good Soil of Denmark, which is one of my favorite song titles ever. Go and listen to it here.

To be perfectly fair, there are actually an enormous number of songs in my library which could be vaguely connected to Hallowe’en. However, the only other one I’m going to mention today is not really related at all. I was listening to Billie the Vision & the Dancers earlier, and I realized that the Pipettes were playing in Portland tonight. In fact, they might even be playing right now. (Although maybe not -- I hear they go to bed early.) But, uh… anyway, if you haven’t heard this one yet, you can have it for free to keep, because the Billies are just that nice.
