aka Cosmic Music aka Krautrock. A dozen tracks in all. Several tracks have mixed genres (a bit of progressive electronic, math, motorik, space rock, etc) and not necessarily pure cosmic. Favorites include 3rd Ear Experience's "I Am Not Robot," Instrument's "Joke on Me" and Anatolian Weapons' "Heritage" to name a few. Isobel's "Nerve" and the rocking "You and or You or Me" by M185 are a couple more favs. They're all good. Enjoy!

Halloween Horrors of Modern Surf Rock X: Freakout!
October 8, 2024
Shock Rockers & Punk Monsters Halloween
Ahh, my favorite Halloween mix of the year. Don't expect the usual classics or anything remotely familiar. 18 tracks of experimental rock, horror rock & punk, rockabilly, and straight up hard rock (and no worries, there's nothing too harsh). The first track (Spectrex's "There's a Monster Loose") however is a funky, hip-hoppity, danceable ditty that's imo, a good mix opener.
Sematary Spawn's "Exorcism of the Dead" reminds me of a subtle Rob Zombie track, or similar. If you like Green Day, check out DieMonsterDie's "1000 Corpses Walk the Earth." Pop-punk fans should embrace The B Movie Monsters' "Mr. T vs. Dracula." Fans of modern Alice Cooper would probably enjoy Monster Mob's "Cannibal Girls." Fronkonstin's straight-up hard rocker "Scary You" is probably my fav.
The last track, Dracula and His Band The Draculas' "Swamp Thing (reprise)" a take on the classic, "Wild Thing" is a hoot. They're all worth a listen or three. Enjoy!

Good Time Halloweenie!
20 tracks of blood-curdling terror, for your cat maybe. All 50s & 60s sans a couple of 70s (the disco-ish "Soul Dracula" by Hot Blood, and Lewis Lee's "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"). Baron Daemon & The Vampires' "Ghost Guitars" is a worthy track, mostly instrumental. The Spellbinders' "Casting My Spell" another favorite. Simon T. Stokes' "Cobwebs" and Dave Gardner's "Mad Witch" would be right up there too. And can't forget Bill Carlisle's "Tiny Space Man." They're all good. Enjoy!
