WPRB Princeton 103.3 FM

The only piece I have been able to find by this artist, which is a shame, because her voice is uniquely delicate and emotive.

You've probably heard this on my show before. I play it whenever I get the chance. It will only increase as my wizard Sarendal gains Necromancy levels.

first minute or so

John Grant is another one I've previewed for you, though I'm unsure if I've played this one. Pay special attention to the lyrics; they are delightful.

How many times will you hear this on WPRB? 5 times? 10 times? Not enough times, I can guarantee that.

FANGS IN THE CITY

The lyrics for this have nothing to do with Halloween as far as I can tell. There's a bare mention of All Saints and then this: She seldom talks about the future She's realistic like the rain. You know, Halloween...the holiday that is realistic, like the rain.

A country mulleted New Zealand vampire like Marlon Williams?? That's a movie I want to see.

Excitable Boy is a much creepier song. But I wait all year for this. The howls, the percussive "huh!". Just a great song to sing any day of the year, but especially around Halloween.

can you imagine writing down this song title with a straight face

Habitat Enrichment Album Cover of the Week

another song that is a favorite of mine. I'm beginning to suspect...a darkness within me

MY EYES ARE DRY

I could have been very obnoxious and played the demo instead, but us Slint fans have it hard enough without deliberately skipping over their most seasonal song. I jest, I could make the argument for many, many Slint songs as "the most Halloween"

This was a request from listener Carmen. Thanks, Carmen, it's perfect and I ALREADY HAD IT ON MY PLAYLIST, so it's doubly fated.

Hank Williams, Werewolf

Another baffling song about Halloween. "Let me tell you about my sister: she's almost dead"

This is a song about a witch who uses dance to cast spells. WE LOVE MOBILE LIL

I appreciate that they had to insert their criticism of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers into the song about a giant eyeball. They are right, it IS a stupid film!!

More songs about dancing witches, of course.

Note the line about being loaded with potatoes. This man has another song called "Raisin Taters". Dick Curless also has an eyepatch. It wouldn't be a Habitat Enrichment show without an East Coast Cowboy Truckin Halloween Song.
