'Everyday is Halloween' by Ministry

Album: Twelve Inch Singles (1981–1984)
Released: 1981 - 84
Theme: deep alternative

Posted 1/13/2010: Where do I start with Ministry . . . ? Led by the infamous Al Jourgensen from Cuba, they began as a new wave sounding band that later did a 180 degree turn into big time industrial (I've seen them live in Atlanta and am surprised I can still walk).Anyway, the right day to post this song would be around Halloween but I can't wait that long - maybe I'll post again . . . because I can.

And so it was written and so it shall be.

'Martini Built for Two' by My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult

Album: Sexplosion!
Released: 1991
Theme: seductive club

I love Autumn with the leaf change and chill in the air. I also believe it is the official chamber-like club season - it just feels as such.

My Life resonates with all of the above. Enjoy this swingin' tune, baby.

'Automobile' by Gospel Music

Album: Duettes
Released: 2010
Theme: different

I've posted some fun songs by a band named Black Kids. The bassist Owen Holmes recently went out on his own to create Gospel Music. It's too new to check out on YouTube but SoDA will take care of you.

The tune is catchy and has a carefree feel which is nice on a Tuesday night during a freakin' busy week. Listening and watching the video kinda takes you back to an earlier time in life with no worries or responsibilities.

'Sour Times' by Portishead

Album: Dummy
Released: 1994
Theme: sensual

This band is from England and named after a small town near Bristol.

I heard the tune on the road today and remembered it from my younger days. I always liked the smooth, mysterious, sensual sound; but upon hearing again today with more mature ears, it seems like there's another underlying theme that everything's not all right. Some things are not as they appear.

'Supercollider' by Tribe

Album: Sleeper
Released: 1993
Theme: alternative rock

Don't know much about this band from Mass. and don't understand the lyrics but always liked this song.

It feels dreamy and so does the lead singer.
