YOU WANT MORE?

There's so many reasons why Halloween is a hoot. When you're young, it's all the candy, and as you get older, that's augmented by hijinks, toilet papering, egging and so on. Then, oh yeah, the late teens, time to hit the keg parties and check out who shows up in sleazy costumes only to be gaped at by others that just matched a cowboy hat with a bandana and a flannel shirt they wear everyday anyways. Then, when official drinking age is reached, things really start rolling. It's all about bars, clubs and more parties, and the big ol' everyone's going Halloween blowout in a rented hotel ballroom. There's quite a few years in this mode, believe me.. Once that becomes ho-hum, it's back to house parties, not as warm-ups, but as the main event. That's where mixes come in handy. So if that's where you find yourself, here's some more last minute mixes, really good ones, courtesy of Grey Haas. To start things off, there's three other songs by King Khan and the BBQ Show, a Sonic Youth cover by Mudhoney, and my new favorite theremin slinger, Lydia Kavina. Spooky, that one, hard to believe it's played live.

A KING KHAN PRIMER: DUDE'S A NUT


I don't know what to make of King Khan and I don't have to. All I need to know is his batting average, in terms of how often I dig a random download of his. That would be a long winded way of saying he's pretty much batting a thousand. A little suspect, I would agree (so don't bother saying it). But, I have to add that I picked up a used CD of his, and it's pretty damn good, beginning to end. Dare I say it, but I haven't heard a anything he's done that I don't like. Not bad for a Canadian (I'm kidding, maple leafers!).

So what's he sound like? Jeez, let's see, a little garage, a little psych, a lot of rock n' roll, a little bit o' horns, some tamborine and farfisa, and an ounce of ballad. Oh, and not entirely retro. Confused? You don't have to know what to make of him either. Just dig the vastly under-rated boss sounds of the guy with the Bollywood looks and the Pabst beer gut.
