Screamin' Jay Hawkins - Little Demon

[Kurosawa Fan]

Hm. This is harder than I thought it would be. Should the song be scary in tone? There are plenty I can think of that have those words in the title, but they don't belong on a Halloween CD. That probably means I should go with something else.

Anything you think fits. It doesn't have to have anything title wise. I t could be somehting like Wicked Annabella by the Kinks or Ghost of Love by David Lynch. those were the other two I thought of before going with my pick.

[dreamdead]

It's a bit long, but it's symphonic enough that we'll see how the MC crowd treats it...

Blut aus Nord -- "Procession of the Dead Clowns"

[bac0n]

Tom Waits - What's He Building?

[Kurosawa Fan]

Iggy and the Stooges - Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell

[Ivan Drago]

Neutral Milk Hotel - Ghost

[Boner M]

Six Finger Satellite - "Rabies (Baby's Got The)"

[Raiders]

I'm gonna go with "dark" and "moody" rather than any actual Halloween "festive" music:

P.J. Harvey, The Dancer

[Derek]

Add N to (X) - "Revenge of the Black Regent"

Mostly instrumental/electronic, but reminds me of Halloween. Not sure if it's meant to, but it's good enough for me.

[MadMan]

A pretty obvious one:

Don't Fear the Reaper-Blue Oyster Cult

I'm surprised no one has mentioned The Monster Mash yet. Maybe that one's too obvious as well. But it should be on here.

PS: I'm voting for the BOC song btw.

[Ezee E]

Please no Monster Mash. Please.

[monolith94]

Koko Taylor -- "Insane Asylum"

[Winston*]

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - The Curse of Millhaven

[Russ]

Method Actors – “Halloween”

Not doomy, gloomy, or spooky in the least, this is a celebratory song that revels in the changing of seasons from summer to autumn (my favorite). It never fails to put a big smile on my face.

[MadMan]

Please no Monster Mash. Please.Why not? Its a great song.

[bac0n]

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - The Curse of Millhaven

niiiiiiiiice!

[Ezee E]

Why not? Its a great song.
::shivers::

[Spinal]

Siouxsie and the Banshees - "Peek-a-Boo"

[thefourthwall]

Tom Waits - What's He Building?

Super creepy.

[Ezee E]

The Ramones -- Pet Cemetary

[transmogrifier]

I'm gonna go with "dark" and "moody" rather than any actual Halloween "festive" music:

Same here.

Song to the Siren, This Mortal Coil

[origami_mustache]

I'm going with The Squirrel Nut Zippers - "The Ghost of Stephen Foster"

these would have been great too...
Kid Koala - "Trick N' Treats"
RJD2 - "The Horror"

[Saya]

This is a fun theme. So many songs to choose from. I'm going with...

Kate Bush - "Waking The Witch"

[bac0n]

Super creepy.

My thoughts, exactly - which is why it was the first song that came to mind when I found out the theme. :cool:

[monolith94]

This is a fun theme. So many songs to choose from. I'm going with...

Kate Bush - "Waking The Witch"
omg, you beat me

[Russ]

KJ, you forgot mine.

[Saya]

omg, you beat me

Beat you? What do you mean? :)

[Kurious Jorge v3.1]

KJ, you forgot mine.

sorry. fixed.

[thefourthwall]

Concrete Blonde "Bloodletting"

[Russ]

these would have been great too...

Kid Koala - "Trick N' Treats"
Yes, this DEFINITELY need to be on this mix. Maybe a bonus track?

[Watashi]

Danny Elfman - "This is Halloween"

Too obvious?

[monolith94]

Beat you? What do you mean? :)
Just that your track is a better choice than mine, more fitting; I wish that I had thought of it!

[Saya]

Ah ok. Well, I don't know your track, but it sounds crazy and creepy. I'm sure it's a good fit too.

I was going to use a Metallica song (Enter Sandman, Of Wolf And Man or Master of Puppets) at first though. But then I thought that most people heard these a billion times already.

[Russ]

Interesting lists (http://www.ratso.net/cheat01.html) pertaining to the topic at hand.

[Noisotika]

Diamanda Galas - Plague Mass - "Sono l'Antichristo"
PJ Harvey - White Chalk - "Grow Grow Grow"
Sunn 0))) - Black One - "Orthodox Caveman"
Beach House - Devotion - "Turtle Island"

[Saya]

I was bored and slapped together a couple covers today. If you like them feel free to use it for the mix.

[bac0n]

Wow, that second cover looks dynamite! Well, both do, but the second one especially.

[MadMan]

Whoa both of those covers are amazing.

[Ezee E]

Wow, that second cover looks dynamite! Well, both do, but the second one especially.
This one.

[D_Davis]

"Car Chase Terror!" by M83

[origami_mustache]

anticipation is killing me...post sooooon please!

[Kurious Jorge v3.1]

I should have it up by Thursday.

Noisotika, if you want to suggest a song for the mix, you have to narrow it down to one by Wednesday.

Besides that, suggestions are now closed, enough songs have been submitted.

[Boner M]

Go with the Diamanda if he doesn't reply before then.

[Spinal]

Diamanda is too scary for Halloween. She's like music for your day of execution.

[D_Davis]

"Car Chase Terror!" by M83

Don't forget mine if you can - it needs to be on a Halloween mix.

[Boner M]

:lol:

I guess she does seem out of place among the likes of "Pet Cemetary" and "Peek a Boo".

[Kurious Jorge v3.1]

yours is on, don't worry.

[Kurious Jorge v3.1]

Download should be up early Sunday. chekc fro ti tehn.

[origami_mustache]

Looking through a pile of my old mix CDs I found a Halloween mix I made 2 years ago when I was a college radio DJ. Seeing as how I will be going on a mini roadtrip to a Halloween party tonight, and my friend asked me to make some cds, I figured I should expand upon the original mix. So here is the 2 disc Halloween special edition mixtape in all it’s glory. It has about 5 songs from the Matchcut Mix and I didn't number or order them.

[Kurious Jorge v3.1]

what are you doing Origami? Stealing my thunder????

Where did you get "It Came in the Night"? I wonder if its any better quality version than I downloaded from some record collectors blog. Could you rapidshare it if you thinks its better so I can add it to the match cut mix?

haha sorry...Halloween might just be my favorite holiday, so I uploaded it to share elsewhere and figured I might as well post it here so we can enjoy 60 Halloween songs instead of 20. Plus I started the mixtapes so I figure I can do whatever I want. ;)

I found "It Came In the Night" a couple of years ago on Soulseek ...it's 192kb bitrate, which is good. Do you know what quality yours is?

[Kurious Jorge v3.1]

it says 128kb on itunes (sounds kind of hissy)...is there any way you could upload it by itself sometime today so i could add it to the mix?

[origami_mustache]

Mine is pretty hissy too...ripped from vinyl I'd guess, but I kind of like that sound...anyways here it is:

http://sharebee.com/113a55b9

[Russ]

When I See Mommy, I Feel Like A Mummy - Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band
Devil's Hootenanny - Laura Veirs
Devil's Hideaway - James Brown
Frankenstein Love - Daniel Johnston
Spooky Spider Chandelier - Of Montreal
The Ghost Of Stephen Foster - Squirrel Nut Zippers
Dracula's Wedding - Outkast
Evil - Howlin' Wolf
Haunted Nights - Duke Ellington

Out of all the ones I had never heard, I liked these best...

Rep for the mix.

[Kurious Jorge v3.1]

mix is up! Download link is in first post in the thread...

Word of warning: Every mp3 I could find of Siouxhe and the Banshees "Peek a Boo" is too soft in volume compared to other tracks and every mp3 of Iggy and the Stooges "Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell" is too loud compared to the other tracks. You may want to adjust the volume properties on these two tracks in itunes to fit the rest of the mix.

Look forward to impressions. Enjoy da Halloween.

[Saya]

Thanks! Will download the mix right away.

[Spinal]

Hmmm ... bummer.

[Saya]

I've uploaded the mix also on Megaupload, because Rapidshare is really slow if you're not a member and it takes like an hour to download the mix. You get way better speeds with Megaupload.

Here is the link. (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RY8TJW0A)

I'll see if I can correct the volume levels of these two tracks tomorrow at work so that they're more consistent with the other tracks on the mix.

[thefourthwall]

Soes, I am potentially just failing, but how do I use a rar file?

I was able to play Mix 4 but not this or 3...

:sad:

In what order did you want us to listen to these songs, Jorge? The order you listed in the first post of this thread?

[Russ]

First impressions:

This Mortal Coil - Song to the Siren
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - The Curse of Millhaven
Tom Waits - What's He Building

These 3 songs are this mix's highlight for me. Just fantastic.

Honorable Mentions to Siouxsie, Koko, PJ, Six Finger Satellite, Neutral Milk Hotel, Squirrel Nut Zippers.

I had heard a few of the others before, the rest were pretty decent. I quite like Jorge's pick by The Raincoats in spite of it's reliance on an instrument I otherwise hate: the dreaded clavinet.

[D_Davis]

This Mortal Coil is an awesome collective.

[Kurious Jorge v3.1]

oh crap, I forgot to change the track #'s in the ID tags, didn't I?

If you want it in the order I intended to have it in, it would be the way I numbered the actual files themselves, not the first post lineup (that was just the order people posted their picks.)

I didn't put too much thought into the arrangemebnt but wanted to space out the longer tracks, the upbeat tracks, the instrumental tracks, so they weren't back to back.

[Watashi]

We should do a film score mixtape next. :)

Yeah, the songs aren't in order when you add them to iTunes. But it's no biggie, it took just a couple minutes to arrange them the right way like you wanted it.

It was this order right?

Initially, I thought "Hmm, Song of the Siren sounds awful familiar." I kept thinking, "That sounds like something from a David Lynch film." Turns out it's featured on Lost Highway (but not on the soundtrack CD :sad:). Now, without going back and watching the film again, I'm trying to remember where it was used. Maybe sometime around the "love in the headlights" scene?

I always forget that that song is in that movie.

It's not on the soundtrack CD because it is a cover, and they probable couldn't get the rights again.

This Mortal Coil does some of the best covers I've ever heard.

Interesting quote from Lynch (http://www.geocities.com/~mikehartmann/losthighway/lhsound.html):

"I heard the song [This Mortal Coil's "Song to the Siren"] in the 80's and I'm not sure whether it was 85, but I really pretty desperately wanted to use it in Blue Velvet and it was tied up in some sort of legal thing, or it was either that or something involving a lot of money and we couldn't get it. And it broke my heart..."
"I'd been waiting and waiting and there it was [another opportunity to use the song] and its definitely high on my list as one of all time most beautiful songs"

[Boner M]

Wow, this mix really took off. :)

Anyway, my favorite discoveries were the Koko Taylor, Method Actors and Add N to (X) tracks. Also realised for the first time how similar the intros of "Pet Semetary" and "Don't Fear the Reaper" are.

[dreamdead]

Does no one like the Blut Aus Nord track? :sad: Not enough happening, or what?

[Russ]

It's technically adequate, but it's still fairly unremarkable -- not to say it's bad, but it's quite indistinguishable from others of its ilk.
