I have always been a fan of Halloween, there's is something exciting to me about the anonymity and mischief in the air (not into the free candy because I don't have a sweet tooth). For this week's show I decided to pull together some songs about vampires, ghosts and other darkness. I missed last week due to a CMJ preemption (if you tuned in, thanks) and that was also the late great Peter Tosh's birthday. So I included some songs on this tip from him too. Of course, there are the lighter more straightforward vampire tunes like Barnabus Collins by Lone Ranger and then there are the deeper vampire tunes such as the ones by Tosh. Vampires can basically be a metaphor for any evil force sucking the good out of you. For the second hour I decided to play some dark dancehall tunes for you since I have not done a later dancehall set in a while, inspired by one of my favorite riddims, the Haunted riddim. Enjoy... if you dare. Muah ha ha ha...
