Greetings from Laurel Canyon!
We are awakened with the axe / Night of the living dead at last / They have begun to shake the dirt / Wiping their shoulders from the earth / I know, I know the nation’s past / They tremble with the nervous thought / Of having been at last forgot…
It never seems to fail, the coming of Halloween stirs up the elements. The nights look darker as winds swirl through the Canyon. Coyotes howl. It’s as if we’re brewing in a witch’s cauldron.
Ok, how stupid must I sound, but it’s Halloween. Vincent Price I’m not, but this is truly the coolest time of the year.
Last weekend in Orange County music fans truly loosened up at The Growler’s fourth anniversary Beach Goth Festival. Cool kids, dark nights, warm winds, and a smörgåsbord of music featuring The Allah-Las, Wanda Jackson, Sub-Humans, Grimes, Ghost, Mac Demarco, Fidlar, Die Antwoord, and The Babe Rainbow. Let’s make this weekend as cool as last!
All things Halloween in my mind, I feel pretty good about this week’s playlist. Candy and zombies—why not?
May every day be like Halloween.
The Idelic Hit of the Week:
