Happy Friday the 13th!

Mo's Outer Limits Mix 

Okay, like a lot of you (most of you) I watched a ton of horror movies growing up and since Halloween is fast approaching, let's just say I got stuck in a spooky mindset.

Picture a twisted sonic love story.

A happy song can take on new meaning when paired with a scare the living daylights out of you scene. This was the catalyst behind the mix; a tribute to all those late nights spent sitting in the dark with nothing but the glow of terror to guide me, its beacon-like flicker radiating outward from my parents wood-paneled-swivel-based-monster-of-a-television, and into my brain.

Some of the songs were taken from records. Remember those? You'll hear imperfections: the snaps, the crackles, and the pops. I think that's kind of cool though, considering this is supposed to be a 'spooky' mix. 13 tracks. Special for you.

Enjoy, or else...
