Saw Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds last night. Wow. But I won't trouble you with a show review because I can't-won't-don't write those, I'll save that for Scott Mervis at the Post-Gazette . During "Red Right Hand" I thought of my annual Halloween playlist on Spotify. "Red Right Hand" always makes the playlist, along with anything from Misfits to Dead Man's Bones, Alkaline Trio to Siouxsie & The Banshees, Oingo Boingo and Tiger Army, Roky Erickson, Slim Cessna's Auto Club, Ghost B.C. and so on and so forth. From punk to indie to 80's pop and post-punk and back again. The goal is usually "eerie" songs. Sometimes though I can't help but insert fun, two minute tongue-in-cheek punk songs like The Lillingtons "War Of The Worlds" or The Aquabats "Fashion Zombies." The Ramones "Pet Semetary" is a staple of this playlist. At some point I open up the playlist for friends...
