Kanye West- Through The Wire
This song was released in 2003 and was on his debut album- The College Dropout. The song is about his near fatal car accident in 2002. At this time he was known mainly as a producer and was trying to prove he could be a rapper.
Fame and personal tragedy have certainly had their effect on Kanye over the past 10 years, but it’s still interesting to look back and see where it all began.

Mazzy Star- Halah
Mazzy Star has a new album out Seasons of Your Day. My favorite is still their first album, She Hangs Brightly, which the song above is from. The band is probably best known for the song “Fade Into You”, from their second album, which was used in pretty much everything.
They are playing at The Wiltern tonight (11/7).

Night Terrors of 1927- Dust and Bones
This song seems destined to be played incessantly on the radio in the near future. It sounds like a lot of other indie pop songs, but that isn’t always a bad thing.
A very good thing about this band- free shows. Tonight (and every Monday in November) they are playing The Echo free with RSVP

Ministry- Everyday is Halloween
This fan made video is a great collection of horror movie clips- especially at 3:13 when the dancing montage begins.
Happy Halloween!
