Halloween - The final cut
How could I not end with these two. Happy All Hallows Eve. Don't worry. I'll put the (edit) version of Halloween by Helloween on the playlist. 13-minute+ song slots are reserved for Tool 😄…
Halloween Adjacent - Zombies
Another 'Music From or inspired by' movie intersection. This time from our favour red dress wearing, kick ass, mama, (amnesiac) Alice! For Zombies I could have gone with the easy pick - pretty much anything from White Zombie or Rob Zombie. But instead, I dug deep (not really) and…

Needs more Maynard
No cowbell. Just Maynard. Cos I can. Plus check out Maynard's recent Double J interview with Dylan Lewis for some old school 'Recovery' vibes. A Perfect Circle remain one of my favourite bands to see live, although we don't often get the chance down…
