Mixtape Monday

This week, a spooky-ish Halloween edition. Nothing too frightening, just some Tex-Mex haunted house music courtesy of Muse, songs about doom and ether by Benni Hemm Hemm and PJ Harvey, more Elastica because I forgot I put them on my mix last week even though I’ve been listening to it about six times a day, and Tilly and the Well’s terrifyingly fey tap-dancing. Also, just in case you liked the solo Tracey Thorn song last week, a song by the band she was in before Everything But The Girl. And, for the big climax, Stephen Malkmus sulking about castration fears. As always, if you like the music I suggest you use some of your hard-earned hooking money to buy some of the albums.
