Im Going Deeper Underground

With Halloween being less than two weeks away, I’ve started to get in the spirit by compiling a list of songs.  When I think of Halloween music, it’s not neccesarily directly related to the holiday.  For example, Oingo Boingo - Dead Man's Party, Patsy Cline – Walkin’ After Midnight or the entire soundtrack of The Virgin Suicides are exellent songs for the season.

Although I will probably be going to The Bang! the Saturday before Halloween (BTW if anyone is interested in going, let me know), I still would like to make the ultimate collection.  Who knows, maybe I’ll find a place to share it.

What songs do you enjoy to hear in spirit of Halloween?  Leave a comment letting me know.

Well work is over with and I now have a few days before school starts. Hopefully my registration problems will be fixed before Tuesday.

Last night was the openinig night of the Detroit Jazz Festival. Its the first one I've been to in years. Its amazing to see the evolution of Detroit. This year the festival is not only at Hart Plaza. Woodward has been blocked off from Jefferson to the Hard Rock Cafe with vendors and two more stages.

Last night was the Funk Brothers, making it the 3rd time I've seen them live. I was so happy to see such a big crowd of people. I saw people of all races and all ages; babies, teenagers, seniors. Its a great feeling. I will definitely make it down ther at least once more this weekend. My plan is to go on Monday for a great lineup:

Labor Day at The Detroit Jazz Festival:
4:30 Thornetta Davis - I haven't seen her since The Music Menu was closed. I used to go see her every Wednesday night.
5:30 The Blind Boys of Alabama - I've only just recently discovered this band thanks to WDET.
7:15 The Dave Brubeck Quartet - My jaw dropped when I discovered that Dave Brubeck would be at the JazzFest. He is a household name in Jazz and I feel very lucky to have the chance to see him live.

I suggest you go down, because Pontiac has nothing on Detroit when it come to true culture.

From No Good Reason:

When you sit at a desk as long as I do, you need something to take you away from Word and Lotus. My method is a set of headphones and filling up my work computer with my favorite albums. I tend to wear through albums quickly. I play them for 9 hours a day, so after hearing Feel Good Inc. for the 30th time in a week, Its time for something new. Anyways, here are my top 3 albums at the moment and possibly 3 more tomorrow.

1. 
   
   
   Dynamite - Jamiroquai
   
   I got a hold of this album late. I hadn't realized it had come out so soon. Jamiroquai has done it once again with their interstellar funk. A more diverse selection than the past. The new single, 'Feels Just Like it Should' clings closely to their Synkronized hit 'Canned Heat'-- Featured on Napoleon Dynamite. Out of nowhere, Jay Kay opens 'Seven Days in Sunny June' with an acoustic guitar and piano. This soft summer-feelin "drinking wine and killing time" song is my personal favorite of the album. Not many songs today can take you places like 'Seven Days...'
