I apologise to the ether for not uploading the SPARKLEWEEN posthaste, but, you know, fall laziness and all that. AND LOOK IT'S HERE NOW.
For the most part, I was pretty happy with how the Halloween mix turned out. My speaking skills were not exactly great, owing to the fact that I was wearing an overelaborate costume for no fucking reason (besides that HALLOWEEN IS FUCKING AWESOME) in the studio, but the music ruled for all intents and purposes, except for the beginning, where I had to play the radio mandated NEW MUSIC, which of course was completely devoid of cool Halloween music.
I also slightly fucked up in transitioning between CDs, so the second half starts in the middle of Dragula, which is a little jarring, to say the least. As a result, I included it as a standalone mp3, along with the completely gone song from the show.
There's not much to say about Session #08, except that it completely kicked ass. It was another theme, this one being centered on the election. Owing on my complete lack of real excitement over the Obama election (YES MY HEART IS A WITHERED MASS OF GRAY, BITE ME), I decided it would be fun to do two mini-mixes, one concerned with defeat, the other with massive victory. Surprisingly, I think the defeat one turned out better, if just for the fact that making the victory mix was pathetically easy, while I had to seriously scour my library for sad songs that were not about pussy, though I'm sure a few I played were metaphorically about pussy.
Also, I was hell of comfortable with the microphone, except for one joke that falls MISERABLY flat in the second part, where I accidentally insult all Muslims worldwide. Expect to see my head on a spike on the latest Al-Jazeera PPV!
