Here we are, rolling into the seventh month of the Audiography Reboot: This Time with Less Piracy!

It's the last day of the spooooookiest month, so why not celebrate with all the spooky, creepy, scary, terrifying songs in one place? The Spooky Songs playlist is live (along with my selections!) and ready for you to put into your ears. Try not to listen in the dark!

To be fair, I will only provide the link to it here - you can share it if you choose! But initial access will only be through this site, for all patrons.

Feel free to discuss songs in the comments! I love all the different ideas everyone had - make sure you have something handy to eat while you listen!

Can't wait--see you next month for a new theme and NEW MUSIC!

I completely missed this one, but I’d have listed a number from Leslie Hudson’s Wanderlings albums. If I had to pick one, I’d say “Unconsecrated Ground”.

I'll be honest, I nicked one of my songs from someone else's playlist. Sarah Gailey shared a playlist with their newsletter subscribers that their partner made for the holiday season, and I listened to it, while also for the sake of it, to see if there was anything I could lightly appropriate for this playlist here. (I promise I won't pour out the original comment that got eaten and that I'd intended for the solicit post to *too* great a depth.) And there was! Something about Are You Ready for Freddy just jumped out, I had a feeling the rest of the patrons here would appreciate it. And considering Prince Markie Dee passed away last year, suggesting it seemed like an appropriate commemoration. Phoebe Bridgers's Halloween came next because, c'mon, it's literally called Halloween. The lyrical content also doesn't not fit, but I don't have it quite together exactly how yet. It's very likely I did when I was writing up that old comment, but again, eaten. Then you have Girl Band and Shoulderblades. Which sounds like a horror film. Not just like something out of a horror film, for some reason I'm insisting there's a meaningful difference there. I wasn't sure about this for a bit considering a lot of the album's lyrics emerge out of the lead singer's experiences with declining mental health, and I didn't think I had the authority to cast anything from it as a reclamation of the way horror films throughout history have treated mental health so cavalierly. Shoulderblades felt right though, there are other songs that would've been a worse choice. Not to mention that this was one of the singles, the first single, and it's still wonderful to think this was a single. But yeah, this is absolutely one of the best and most individual albums of recent years, and it helps Shoulderblades's case to be included here that it was recorded in a mansion in the countryside. Half the drum parts were recorded in its basement!
