SAP Music Halloween Mix 2022

Happy Halloween everyone!  

This year I gave myself the challenge of doing a mix that consists entirely of film scores, SFX and dialogue clips from films or trailers.  I wanted to do a mix that was all about mood a creepiness and didn't have any songs.  There is nothing with lyrics this year.  It was a fun challenge and I feel like the result is creepy and different.  It reminds me of the year I did a Halloween mix of only Ennio Morricone music.  That was more straightforward than what I did this year for sure.  This involved a lot more ripping of audio from DVDs and Blu-rays and then watching and listening to quite a few movies to find clips.  It was a lot of work, but I feel pretty proud of the end result.  Hope those of you who listen enjoy is as well.

Happy Halloween!

Hold Music Volume 37

This volume 37 installment concludes the big run of songs I put together earlier this spring.  At this point in the long, long playlist I was really just cleaning house and throwing everything I had wanted to get out into this last chunk.  It was more or less clearing the decks to start setting tracks aside for new mixes.  I was also thinking ahead that I new I wanted to get this all out of my system so that I could start thinking about Halloween, which I knew was going to be a big undertaking this year.  Stay tuned for this year's mix.  It is going to be a new approach, one that did take a lot more work than usual to put together this year.  That will be coming very soon. 

This playlist runs about an hour and thirty-seven minutes.

Enjoy!

Hold Music Volume 36

We're nearing the end of this epic run with the sixth installment.  This one runs about an hour and forty-four minutes.  It runs the range of genres and is more of just a sampling of things I've been listening to this past year.  It doesn't feature so much from the 1001 albums list.

Enjoy!

Hold Music Volume 31

This volume begins another series of mixes that were initially put together as one long playlist.  The playlist ran around 10 hours.  I am not sure how many volumes that is going to break into yet because I haven't broken them all out yet.  I suspect it is going to end up being somewhere between seven and nine volumes.  Oddly enough the track that was the cornerstone of this whole run is the Gorilla Biscuits track.  For my birthday I got another case for my seven inch records.  I got one last year as well.  When I was putting records in the new case I came across the first Gorilla Biscuits seven inch and I threw it on.  I hadn't listened to it for many years and forgot how great it was.  I realized that I had never digitized that record and so I digitized it.  Once I had in on the computer I thought I'd love to put one of the tracks on a mix and that is were it started.  I started building from there and by the end I had strung together 173 tracks.  It was another case of trying to clear the decks of all the songs I had been putting aside.  All those tracks I'll be sharing in the coming months.

Enjoy!

Hold Music Volume 25

This is the first part of a long mix I created in December.  I initially wanted to do some house cleaning of a sorts.  I had been setting aside songs for a long while and I had so many I wanted to just get as many or them out there as possible so I could in a sense start fresh.  So I put together a playlist that was about seven hours and forty-two minutes long.  I shared that long playlist with people at work and then over the holiday break I broke that long playlist into six volumes.  They make up volumes 25 through 30 in this series.  So this is the first of that series.  The idea, though, is that if you play these all back to back, they do flow into each other.

As I was putting together this post I see at least one typo.  I mislabeled a Black Sabbath track "The Thrill Of Is All" instead of "The Thrill Of It All."  I thought about correcting it, but honestly it was just going to be too much work and so I thought I'd just write about it.  If you end up downloading this, feel free to fix the mistake.  This of course isn't the first and only typo that has ended up on one of my mixes. They do show up now and again.  Sometimes when I catch them, I try and go back and correct them and other times I just let it go.  

Enjoy!

Hold Music Volume 24

I can't quite remember what prompted this mix other than I wanted to put together a bunch of songs that I had been listening to that were leaning toward the funky side of things.  I think I had shared some funky music with someone at work and they mentioned that they were really listening to a lot of funk music and so I went down that rabbit hole for a bit.  I put this together November 26th, 2021.

Enjoy!

Hold Music Volume 23

The spark for this mix was the very first track on the list.  One day I was going through music files on my computer.  I was doing some file clean up and I came across a folder with Alan Hackshaw and that Dave Allen At Large theme.  I loved Dave Allen At Large as a kid and thought I should give that a listen.  I couldn't remember how that music went. So I clicked on the track and it literally made my day, because the track was one that I had been hearing for the past couple years and wished I knew what it was.  The Pure Cinema podcast uses that track for their New Beverly calendar episodes and actually had thought several times about tracking down that opening music.  Little did I know that I had the track and that it was actually to a show I watched growing up.  So I wanted to put that song on a mix so that I could have a reason to listen to it more often.  So I started with that track and the just built from there.  I listened to all sorts of tracks that I had been throwing into a folder for possible use on one of these mixes. So there are songs from my 1001 albums challenge.  There are songs from records I've digitized in the past year or so.  There are country songs that I came across listening to the Cocaine and Rhinestones podcast or the Ken Burns' Country Music documentary series.  There are also just tracks that I came across just in my normal random listening habits.  All that is to say that it is my usual eclectic mix of genres and time periods, with a main goal of kind of working together.

Enjoy!
