The Who: Boris The Spider
It’s creeping up on us – the chill of Halloween is in the air. Cackling Witches huddled of a steaming cauldron, you get the picture. I don’t need to go into detail. I am still waiting on some suggestions for Halloweeny songs – I’m sure you can do better than me – [...]
David Bowie: Changes
Doesn’t it seem like yesterday that I was posting a song by Bowie… where as this last week gone to? Anyway, here we are again, if there’s a situation that is crying out for a song then you have no need to look any further than the chameleon of pop music, David Bowie. Whether it [...]

Iron Butterfly: In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida
Fasten your seatbelts, this one could take a while. At over seventeen minutes in length, you may want to put the kettle on or take a lunch break before you listen to this track in it’s entirety. (As I know you all will!) I decided it’s about time for another creepy Halloween tune, and I [...]
