Not to sound like I've lived a terrible life, but this year marks the first time that I've carved a pumpkin into a jack-o-lantern. Chalk it up to a childhood where we didn't celebrate Halloween. It's led to a lack of enthusiasm for the holiday requiring active pushback. So bring on the apple bobbing, haunted hayrides, and drive-by eggings!
The firmest Halloween tradition I follow is, of course, the annual Mummies posting. And what better choice than their double 7" split with the Wolfmen. This is one where you can judge the book by its cover, ably craved by Coop himself! Just picked up a zine from him a few weeks ago; his devil girls still pack a punch. Long Gone John has his fingers all over this one, from the colored vinyl to his appearances bookending the mini comic inside the cover. The Mummies drop a pair of deranged covers of Wilson Pickett and Roy Acuff Jr. The Wolfmen present a pair of originals from their limited catalog...can't say I ever really listen to them. Y'all know what I'm here for.
Eat candy / play trashy music / get a venereal disease / make some bad choices. It's Halloween, y'all!
