chartattack reports that The Dears were handpicked by Morrissey to be the openers for his KROQ show in L.A.

The Libertines self-titled second CD will be reissued with an accompanying DVD of live footage! [From filter magazine.]

I finally get my copy of Matador at Fifteen in the mail today and Pitchfork happens to post a review of it today. Spooky.

Someone at Tiny Mix Tapes likes A Girl Called Eddy. I say, it's about time. I don't hear enough about her in the music press, let alone the blogging community. I highly recommend you do check her CD out...and yes, sad songs say so much.

And as promised, a tracklisting of a Halloween mix CD I put together about 2 or 3 years ago. It always gets me in a Halloween mood. Some Canadian artists' mp3's are provided below; well, actually three are Canadian and the fourth is I think an American band but I can't remember their name.
