Halloween Hodgepodge 2010
The Halloween Hodgepodge edition of the I Hear a New World Podcast is available for download here, and at http://ihearanewworld.podomatic.com/.
Given the time of the season, it is once again time for me to dredge through my seemingly endless archives of spooky music to present a new Halloween mix to the readers. Last year I was rushing against the clock to complete my Halloween podcast before the clock struck midnight on Halloween. After learning my lesson from this, I began compiling my list two weeks ago with possible songs that could make the cut for this years mix. These songs were culled from my own collection, Soulseek users and the numerous Halloween blogs and forums across the internet. Without the help of these sources, it would have been practically impossible for me to finish this mix on time.
Considering my tendency to strive towards perfection, finishing this mix before Halloween has meant spending hours painstakingly crafting a two-part mix of the most terrifyingly bone-chilling music that I could possibly find. Please note that in order to prevent from scaring all of my listeners stiff, I have thrown in some light-hearted Halloween tunes from genres such as rockabilly, doo-wop and soul to balance out the tone. I hope that this mix finds you well and provides the perfect soundtrack to the haunted house of your mind.

Sorry I haven't called by for a while. This is a nice set but it was just too late for halloween. That's the problem with a round world I guess. :( I'll keep it for next year.
Fill yer boots, big man!
Hey No-head. It's good to hear from you again. I'm sorry that the podcast didn't make it to your country in time to listen to it on Halloween. I was really pleased with the finished product, as I thought it had a great flow to it. It has plenty of stuff on it that would work for year round, so hopefully you give it a spin before next Halloween.
P.S. What do you mean by "Fill yer boots"?
Scots/Irish expression. Don't know what it means exactly but we say it a lot - sort of "respect to you" or "stand up and be counted" I guess but with a bit more emphasis.
