Songs to Put You in the Spirit

October 26, 2009

With Halloween coming up, I’ve decided to write a list of scary songs, not movies–because this list is terrifying. “Kim,” Eminem. Without a doubt, one of the scariest songs ever written. While also taking the cake for most swear words in one sentence, this song sends chills down my spine EVERY TIME. “The Serpentine Offering,” Dimmu Borgir. Scary symphonic death metal. What else gets you in the mood for a night of mischief and mayhem? “The Monster Mash,” Bobby Pickett and the Cryptkickers. Old school horror. When you’re tired of running house to house in a cold sweat, pump this up and start dancing the monkey! “Don’t Fear The Reaper,” Blue Oyster Cult. Anyone that has seen Friday the 13th will get the terror that is synonymous with this incredibly cheesy 70′s anthem. “Thriller,” Michael Jackson. The scariest song of the 80s (aside from hair metal power ballads. Eeek!) has kept its resonance, thanks to the epic video. If you want anymore songs to send chills down the spine just ask me.

Dear Cougars, Take your horse blinders off! Your latest  issue list Kanye West, The Jonas Brothers,  Taylor Swift, and Britney Spears as the  artists of the month. This excludes the facts:  Metallica’s Death Magnetic lasted on  the  charts longer then any of those artists,  (excluding the massive Fearless by Taylor  Swift) and AC/DC’s Black Ice was on the number one spot two weeks, and Slipknot God’s Wrath placed 2nd on the charts, with Kelly  Clarkson and Now! 30 ramming the same songs you just heard down your throats. The fact that  you haven’t mentioned any of these bands feels a lot like a snub to me. Just because I can’t hear any of these songs on Z‐100 or the new radio station  that bought out K‐Rock doesn’t mean that they are  any less important! If you’re going to comment on music, comment on all the music!
