Halloween Mix 2008

The last few days have been hard.  I have found that I look forward to this thing every day.  Sure I may write in advance when I'm busy, but I still check in everyday.  I love the anticipation to see how many people have looked at the post and I get excited at the thought that perhaps someone might have made a comment.  Usually no one does, except my loyal friends Matracas and ET (thanks guys), but I still get a rush of anticipation.  So it has taken a bit of restraint the last couple days not to post something new.  I tell myself that it is for the best.

This past weekend I had to go out of town and I picked up a whole bunch of family photos that I plan on scanning.  This is in addition to the other project I mentioned, so my free time is going to be pretty filled for the next few months.  I'm so glad I put all that work in this past summer.

This post is actually the fruits of my summer work.  I actually pulled this thing together back in July and I have been so excited and anxious to get it out there for people.  I started out just pulling together Halloween songs and was going to do my usual type of mix/playlist.  But since I had some extra time on my hands I decided to try my hand at garageband.  I had a blast mixing things together.  Laying spoken word over sound effects and other music.  The final product I think is pretty darn fun.

I also learned that if you take the one file, which is in the form of a podcast and then burn it to a CD itunes automatically breaks up the songs into tracks.  That is of course if you put markers in the podcast, which I have done for you.  I have also posted the individual songs, but I really recommend the whole thing because songs mix and mesh into each other.  Some songs aren't even full songs.  Sometimes it may just be a verse or two and then I get something else going.

So hopefully you'll like what I've done.  Maybe it will inspire you to pull together your own list.  You can also use this for a whole month as a soundtrack to get you into the mood of Halloween.  There's no reason to wait until Halloween when it comes to music.  This can be your soundtrack for the whole month.

I've done my best to provide you with informative tags.  In some cases where I have mashed up several things I may have made up a new name for the track and then put as much information in the tags as possible.  If you are interested in the sources for these songs just give me a shout. 

So until next time which hopefully won't be too long from now,

Enjoy!

Here's the whole thing as one enhanced podcast.
