I've had a Halloween tradition for the last few years--I play two things throughout the evening: one is a fantastic Halloween mix tape made for me by the powerful Walter Powers, back in the early '90s: "Halloween Hi-Jinx." The other is Sun Ra's organ extravaganza "Hiroshima"--what could be more frightening than a programmatic ode to one of the most horrific events of all time?
I wish we got trick-or-treaters out here--there's certainly lots of SCARY music in my collection. Basically it was another Sunday night, except I ate some candy.
Yipeee!
