Ghoulish Halloween tunes: Ministry and My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult
How can you celebrate Halloween without some industrial music?
Ministry - Everyday is HalloweenBefore Ministry sounded like Minsitry, they sounded like...well, synth pop. The classic tune from their Wax Trax LP of the same title.
My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult - Rivers of Blood, Years of Darkness'Drown our useless age in blood" goes the intro. Then the psycho-funk comes in and the delicious blood-curdling scream in the chorus. From the classic MTWTTKK 'Confessions of a Knife' LP.

Happy Halloween!
Click for full size
Truly scary Foxtrot comic today. (Read the labels on the kids' hats). I'd run out of the house screaming if I saw them appear at my doorstep.
Well, Bush pulls a scary Halloween trick on us, nominating Alito to the high court. Nothing like a little controversy to deflect attention from the other controversy (i.e. Libby indictment). I guess they had to find something, now that Katrina, Rita, Wilma, and bird flu have lost their media appeal. Better hightail over to the Capitol for your Rosa Parks photo-op before it's too late.
Top 10 scary movies
HM. Carrie - Worth it just for the prom scene and the ending. My startle was amplified to heart attack status when the girl next to me grabbed me.
10) Psycho - This Hitchcock classic really could have been the greatest, if Janet Leigh had gotten better lines, and if the psychobabble sequence from the shrink at the end had been cut out. Too bad.
9) Halloween - Come on, how could Halloween not be on this list?
8) The Evil Dead - The possessed hand and the scene in the woods help this movie climb into the Top 10, even if the rest is all rather hokey.
7) Poltergeist - I think the Poltergeist curse is scarier than the movie itself. Still, it's a pretty good ghost story.
6) The Beyond - More gory than scary, a prime example of style over substance. If you can tolerate the meandering plot, this atmospheric horror film does provide some genuinely haunting moments, not to mention some of the best gore ever filmed.
5) The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original) - Leatherface might be the scariest movie monster ever.
4) Don't Look Now - One of the best psychological horror films with a truly haunting ending. It plays on our fear of not wanting to let go of a lost love one.
3) The Shining - The twin girls, Room 237, Redrum. That is enough psychological trauma for any scary movie. Don't miss The Shining re-enacted in 30 seconds by the bunnies. Absolute hilarity!
2) Suspiria - A dance school that is actually a witches' coven. What could go wrong? A horror classic from 'Italian Hitchock', Dario Argento.
1) The Exorcist - Considering all of today's special effects wizardry, this was probably scarier in the 70s. Nevertheless, it's still quite frightening, especially for anyone with religious convictions. Otherwise, you might find it kinda hokey. They actually filmed the bedroom scene in a refrigerated room to get the frosty breath. (Is it cold in here?)

The Game arrested at NC Mall, Eminem doesn't care about black people
The Game arrested at NC Mall for cursing with Halloween mask onNice pickup on the AP wire. The comedy writes itself: "The Game has been arrested, accused of causing a scene at a mall and refusing to remove a Halloween mask." I hope The Smoking Gun has a mug shot with him and his mask on. That would totally make my Halloween.
Bob Geldof and Bono sent Eminem photos of African fans wearing Eminem and D12 t-shirts trying to convince him to join the Live 8 line-up, only to be totally ignored. Wow, that's cold, Marshall.

Silversun Pickups - Kissing Families (wmv video)
Kinda weird video. Levitation, burning grilled cheese, lead singer with a black eye...what's up with that. And, omg, listen from 3:20 on...the coolest guitar fuzz-to-cello transition I can remember hearing in a while, not that that's encountered that often. Here's their myspace.

I don't know about you, but I found Pulp Fiction's Marcellus Wallace ass-pounding scene to be more shocking than that Reservoir Dogs scene.

Metric - Monster Hospital (video)
Metric - Monster Hospital (wmv video) Metric - Monster Hospital (quicktime video)Wow, this is a scary music video and a timely release for this Halloween season. For movie fans, look for homages to Roman Polanski's 'Repulsion' and the bathroom scene from Francis Ford Copolla's 'The Conversation'. Sorry, my movie nerdness showing. Excellent job by director Micah Meisner.

Tasty live Goldfrapp, Rakim and Talib Kweli, Liz Phair at World Series, Another Strokes leak
- Goldfrapp sounds sexy on Later with Jools Holland: here.
I think I might like these versions even better than the album ones. - Rakim and Talib Kweli - Getting Up Anthem
Not spectacular, but it's always good to hear from Rakim. - Anyone see Liz Phair's rendition of God Bless America on World Series Game 1? It wasn't too bad, a little flat on the high notes.
- Another day, another Strokes leak

#1: The Beatles
The rest of the top 10 in alphabetical order: Louis Armstrong, Lucille Ball, Humphrey Bogart, Marlon Brando, Charlie Chaplin, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Mickey Mouse, and Elvis Presley. I'm surprised that Frank Sinatra, John Wayne, and Bob Dylan aren't in the top 10, but they are in the top 100. More recent choices include: Kurt Cobain, Tupac Shakur and Quentin Tarantino. Not sure why they included Mickey Mouse and Lassie, when they excluded Bugs Bunny, Betty Boop, The Simpsons, Snoopy, etc. - Just in time for Halloween: The Seven Spookiest Houses from Movies

Pez:Fallen rappers, Strokes leak, new Decemberists, P. Diddy does house?
- Pez introduces the fallen rappers series [via BB]
Well, it would have been a nice, albeit odd tribute if it were true. - Controlled release Stroking. Yup, two more Strokes tunes have leaked: '15 Minutes of Pain' (Thankfully, only 4 minutes of pain; well, not so much pain as boredom), and 'The Other Side' (I like the verses, but the guitar is annoying and the title and chorus are quite terrible). Mind you, I kinda like 'Juicebox' and I love 'You Only Live Once'.
- The Decemberists have some new tracks, in all their mispelled glory at purevolume [via brooklynvegan]
Oops, mispelled as Decembrists on the site. - bigstereo has P. Diddy and Felix Da Housecat - Jack U. Worth it just to here P. Diddy waxing poetic about electronic music. Then, you might wanna delete it. Seriously, this crap makes Green Velvet sound profound. Neither Felix nor Armand can save this track; but it will still be a floorfiller for suburbanite numbnuts.

Wow, this is Gwen's worst single since...ever. I dunno, maybe it will grow on me in a non-fungal way. Sounds like a Cyndi Lauper album reject. Someone could mash this with Time After Time.
