Video Nasties!
Every time I used to spin a Halloween event you were guaranteed to hear these two songs in my set list. Seeing as how i'm happily retired (if not a bit nostalgic) here's two of my favorites.
The first one always reminds me of that episode of Father Ted where the Priest DJ shows up to spin some event on Craggy Island and only bought one ep with him, Ghost Town by The Specials, which he proceeds to play throughout the night... including during the National Anthem. I miss that show. Ladies and gentlemen...
When I was working for The Promoter at his night club back in the day, I wanted to pitch this song as a performance for one of the shows (I don't say it often enough, but it was working with that Vault/Chamber-era SR that got me intrested in the possibilities of theatre as a creative outlet... I know, I know... you didn't ask). The show itself (as I recall) was going to be a burlesque number with a woman dressed in some kind 1930's dapper devil drag and proceed to seduce an impoverished housewife of some type whose husband would be passed out drunk at the table (I figured the scene would be in a kitchen... a table, two chairs, should have done it in a pinch). I'm not sure how they would've done the 'red right hand' though... as a crimson glove perhaps or a little bit of make-up maybe?
Anyway without further ado... the one and only Nick Cave from one of his best albums (which is saying a lot), Let Love In:
