For some reason, the image just isn't working for this playlist post (it's tiny and everything but sometimes luck is like that) so please enjoy the image description and just go look at the playlist or Patreon crosspost to see the image.

Yay October! A month of many things, isn't it. But one of the things has to be a little spooky, just for vibes. Where we live the Santa Anas have blown in and it is dry as anything, and a perfect low 80s during the day to 70s at sunset (and it'll be VERY cold at night). It is fun, on our family discord, seeing folks share their snowy Halloweens.
Also I made a new monster playlist for the year! Check it out on Tumblr.
Related media to some of the songs:
- 'The Rythmn of the Night' is beloved to me for multiple reasons but also for this perfect moment from a DJ.
- I feel like I've been looking for the music videos I remember from back when you had basic cable and sometimes got free Disney for a week to entice you to subscribe (and my family spent it recording everything they could). They were pop songs, with videos that were just semi-related clips edited together into music videos. I only ever saw them individually, but apparently they're from DTV Monster Hits, which is available with commercials over on Archive.org. The Eurythmic's 'Sweet Dreams' is one of the videos I remember the most (it's the final number).
- Speaking of seasonal music, Duran Duran has a new charming album out, Danse Macabre, and it's a fun mix of covers and new songs that is very much a Halloween party album.
