Halloween 2010: Your Favorite Nightmare

[brigdh]

So, yes, I realize that this is a little late; I meant to get it up last night, but it always takes longer to upload all the songs than I expect. But I figure Halloween is too good a holiday to let it be over just yet!

I tend to make a Halloween music mix every year, though they're usually pretty formless and rough, so I don't think I've posted one to LJ before. This one has an emphasis on slinky, techno/electronica dance music, and real-life horror (serial killers, stalkers) rather than supernatural horror. Let me know if you like it!


1. Chrispy - Halloween (Dubstep Remix)
(Instrumental)
2. Louis XIV - Stalker
I can stare at you all night and you won't even notice
3. Laika - Coming Down Glass
I'm going down and have no shame
4. PJ Harvey - Down by the Water
I had to lose her to do her harm
5. Deftones - Lucky You
And if you're feeling lucky... come and take me home
6. Radiohead - Climbing Up the Walls
Do not cry out or hit the alarm
7. Tom McRae - You Cut Her Hair
Time has colored in the black and white of your sin
8. Mos Def - Boogie Man Song
Let me be your favorite nightmare
9. Dave Matthews Band - When the World Ends (Remix)
When the world ends, collect your things, you’re coming with me
10. Poe - Spanish Doll (Scary Instrumental Remix)
(Instrumental)
11. Tori Amos - Juarez
'Cause the desert likes young girls' flesh
12. Rasputina - Transylvanian Concubine
You know what flows there like wine
13. Sarah McLachlan - Black (William Orbit Mix)
At mercy are the meek
14. Robots in Disguise - Voodoo
I chant your name all night in dreamland
15. Ladytron - Ghosts
There's a ghost in me who wants to say "I'm sorry". Doesn't mean I'm sorry.
16. Crystal Castles - Hunting for Witches (Crystal Castles Remix vs Bloc Party)
I am hunting for witches, heads are going to roll
17. Recoil - Want
I want to keep you alive so there is always the possibility of murder later
18. Boards of Canada - Gyroscope
(Instrumental)

Full zip!

THis is good, as I really needed more music out here.

You have the best taste in music, dude. This is totally making my day much more bearable.

Also, have you heard the rest of that Recoil album? It's intensely weird, but also pretty awesome to zone out to.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Hope you like it!

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Hee, thank you!

I've heard some other Recoil songs (Breath Control and Luscious Apparatus, definitely, maybe one or two more), but not the whole album. I should find a copy!

[airspaniel.livejournal.com]

I can give it to you, if you like. I think I have all of it.

Jezebel (http://www.sendspace.com/file/mlcsj6) is my favorite track.

This is AWESOME! Downloading now. :D

[dark-roast.livejournal.com]

Cool! Thanks so much!

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I hope you like it.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

I hope you like it!

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

Oh, these are fabulous choices.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Thank you! ^^

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you so much!

(I apologize for taking forever to reply to this; lately I've been doing all my email and Lj stuff while I'm at school, and I'm afraid to download things on their networks in case they set the RIAA on me. So I kept meaning to remember to look at this when I was at home, and kept forgetting.)

[airspaniel.livejournal.com]

No worries! I hope you like it. ^_^

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

I do! It's got a really cool beat.

[somebraveapollo.livejournal.com]

THIS ONE LOOKS GREAT TOO.

I've never seen this Hunting For Witches remix but IT IS SO SO GOOD. And Tom McRae! And that PJ Harvey song - I heard it for the first time a couple of days ago because a friend said it was the ultimate Catelyn Stark sond and I was just so. completely. and utterly. freaked out. I get retroactive goosebumps just thinking about it!

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Do you want me to reupload the zip for you?

I love Tom Mcrae! I don't remember where I first got the Hunting for Witches remix... likely someone else's fanmix, heh.

OH MAN IT IS THE PERFECT CATELYN STARK SONG. I had never made that connection before! That is too creepy.

[somebraveapollo.livejournal.com]

OHHHH yes! Please upload this zip and the other - if it's no trouble? I'm old-fashioned in preferring my music strictly offline.

[wordsofastory.livejournal.com]

Ha, I'm totally an offline music person too.

Uploaded!
