Episode 39.5

Here arrives the third installment in the annual “Samhain” episode. Once you begin this sonic journey you’ll be prepared for the darker months ahead of you. Unless, of course, you do not reside in the hemisphere in which this collection was assembled. In which case, I suppose you could utilize these sounds to cool your brow.

Hopefully this selection of songs finds you well. I tried to be more representative of the wider swath of genres I dabble within, so I may have over-shot myself. You tell me if this is incoherent. Enjoy and thank you for your support.

See you in one week for the 40th episode in our regularly scheduled malevolence.

*I do not (yet) repeat groups on mixes, but this “special edition” is not beholden to that rule. Think of it as the Treehouse of Horror precedent.
