The Beat Frequency: Halloween!

Our Halloween show! One of my favorite musical holidays of the year. (Thanksgiving is sub-par.)

One new song was "Fish Heads" which was disturbing and strange, and awesome.

I think I played Daylight because I was obsessed with it and also had to leave.

The Beat Frequency: 10/20/09

So this week I was preparing for my trip to the CMJ Music Marathon in New York City. I was taking the Chinatown bus, so I played two songs involving that, along with Manhattan and New York songs in the beginning. After that were mainly songs from artists performing at CMJ. Of the ones I played, I saw Moonbabies, The Temper Trap, and The Spinto Band, which were all incredible.

Oh, and Explosions and the Sky because it's long and pretty and I had to leave early.
