Today, plowing through the "Novelty Records" portion of my collection.

Andrew Gold - Halloween Howls (1996)

Andrew Gold is probably best remembered for "Lonely Boy", a top 10 hit in 1977, as well as writing "Thank You for Being a Friend" ... later used as the theme to the TV show "The Golden Girls". He also collaborated with a lot of musicians in the 80's, ...

Projekt Presents: A Dark Cabaret (2005)

While searching for music by the darkly mysterious Jill Tracy, I ran across this little gem, a compilation of unusual throwback music by various artists on the Projekt label.

Some highlights:

1. The Dresden Dolls - Coin Operated Boy
A terrific opening. ...

Started listening to Halloween Music already this year.

We start with Monster Halloween Hits. I ran across this collection not long ago. Three CDs of music from the last 60 years or so. This is actually a decent collection, especially for those who just want a big sample of Halloween music without getting in TOO deep.

First, what makes this collection good is that most songs are performed by the original artist. Too many Halloween compilations use crappy cover artists. ...

I've been waiting for this one ... Reverend Frost has creative and interesting mixes throughout the year, but the only ones I care about are the Halloween ones! His mixes are always a good combination of oldies and rarities ... this one looks good. I haven't even listened to it yet, but I wanted to mix sure y'all knew about it.

Thanks to the good Reverend!
