“Our first shows were at CBGB’s on August 16 and 17, 1974. It was just an old, dumpy little bar on the Bowery, as everyone knows. Hilly Kristal and his wife ran the place, and they had nothing going on there besides winos, so they started letting these new bands play there, like Television and Patti Smith’s band. Dee Dee had heard about it, and so we decided to give it a try. It was like a practice in front of ten people. We had gotten a lot better by then, and we had more songs. At that point, we were still dressed in partial glitter because the Dolls were still the big thing in New York. I had these silver lamé pants made of Mylar and these black spandex pants I’d wear too. I was the only one with a real Perfecto leather jacket—what the Ramones would later be identified with—which I had been wearing for seven years already.” (extract from Commando Johnny Ramone’sbio).

HALLOWEEN SOUNDS 2018 // vol.one

It’s October and therefore you should be getting proper spooky. What better way than to dive into some Halloween (and spooky-adjacent) sounds. This year, I’m going to be doing a handful of small mixes based around particular styles, rather than one big mega-mix. Volume one is leans into the loud and energetic. Volume two will be more electronic. Volume three heads into the darker atmospheric sounds. After that? I’m not sure. I’m up for suggestions. 

You can stream Volume One on Apple MusicandSpotify. Tracklist is on the image.
