George A. Romero's Season of the Witch
Whoah! The previous post turned my train of thought to other 70's, witchy movie-related tunes and of course Donovon's Season of the Witch and its use in George A. Romero's largely unknown classic of the same name sprang to mind. When I popped over to the youtubes to look for said song imagine my surprise when I noticed that the entire freakin' movie was on there! Now, I don't own the rights and as usual I implore you to buy this is if you dig it, but it's up there and a lot of folks don't know about it and it's almost Halloween, so when you get a minute, sit down and thrill to the domestic witchery of a lost Romero gem!!!
Dead Man's Bones - In The Room Where You Sleep
This is a pretty freakin' creepy song as it is, even without my now associating it with James Wan's The Conjuring.
A friend turned me onto these guys briefly several years ago but they never made it into my rotation. Going to have to change that I think.
RIP Lou Reed
What more do you need to say about Lou Reed after listening to Metal Machine Music?
Nothing. Rest in Peace sir, rest in peace.
Black Breath - Heavy Breathing
My friends Chris and Tori are geniuses at unearthing good metal. It's not their only interests, but there's just a rare knack for curation that has brought me hours and hours of enjoyment. Case in point - about six months ago they burned me a spindle of CD's that I am still making my way through. Today, fresh from a week in Chicago where I hung with them for several days, I popped on another disc from that seemingly endless spindle (a good thing). Black Breath - Heavy Breathing grabbed me from the opening bellow and did not let go. Here's that opener, Black Sin (Spit on the Cross) followed by another track I really dug, Children of the Horn. As per my creed, what I dig I try to buy, so I'm planning ordering both Heavy Breathing (2010) and it's 2012 follow-up Sentenced to Life, both on the always fantastic Southern Lord Records.
Also I can't help but remark that I was not surprised to find that Black Breath are from Washington state. As I fall further and further down my current Laird Barron spiral a lot of disparate elements seem to be aligning across some kind of giant, Washington-flavored pentacle.
