Guest Mix : With a Halloween Extra

 

The good folks of the Yellow Bird Project posted a rather excellent Halloween playlist, that I hope they will excuse me for reposting. I promise, it is well worth having a listen, or putting it together if you have the tracks. And they have some rather cool merchandise for good causes, so there should be enough indie rock candy goodness to satisfy even the most jaded and cynical amongst us

And as I am never one to leave the last word alone, my two cents follow...
