Happy Halloween all you crypt kickers, freak-beaters and fangomaniacs. Hell comes to your house early this year with a three part posting for this week's Freaky Funky Friday including ...a seventy minute monster mix - Youtube treat - and a right ol' Carry On (plus some chilling tunes on C-Mondo too) Mondo Mania
This years collection of Halloween themed hits and howlers (in a good way) have been alchamixed into 'Mondo Mania'. Some of the ingredients may not seem immediately obvious witch-way winners but....
'Barabajagal's mutterings and mantras about Hammer Horror herbalism, seems to suit the mood of the moment
And 'Who Do You Love's imagery of "tombstone hands, graveyard mines, "cobra snake neckties" and "chimney, a-made out of human skull" qualifies it for dead-cert selection..

I just listened to most of it coming into work it's really good had boppping my head and smiling while my train waited ages outside london bridge! Don't see why I have to wait right to the end to hear the sonics though!

I'm delighted with it. It's the only CD we're playing for the next day or two.
Funky Friday meets Halloween? Truly, this is the best of all possible worlds....
Lov'n Halloween already.
The mix really hit's the spot...
Thank you all - you're too kind
I'm thinking of new wave/new grave one for next year Bauhaus, Cramps etc.. so any suggestions are always welcome (Lil's already come up with Jezebel Spirit)
PS BL - had to put The Sonics at the end, as it's impossible to top them with anything else
