Stinky's gone and done it again, dropping another fantastic comp over at Jokonky, this time celebrating spooky season for 2025. While I (justifiably) razzed him for the lack of Misfits, it's a pretty spectacular outing, as I've come to expect from his curations. It also inspired today's post, for what that's worth.
Those of you who have been on this trek with me for a while know that I like to share a Mummies record as my Halloween post every year. This year shall be no different, but I turned up this double CD for a tenner down on the Central Coast last winter, and I've been sitting on it for 10 months to bust it out. There's this cottage industry of "songs that Lux and Ivy taught us" comps, of such varying qualities that I can't bother to separate the wheat from the chaff. This one, though, has proven to be a wise investment of $10. Originating from the Righteous label (a Cherry Red imprint), you get 50 cuts of horror rock, all stemming from a time when jukin' and jivin' caused a moral panic. The horror was real!
If you're a rockabilly novice like I am, but want something different than Bobby Pickett or Glenn Danzig to play at your party this year, throw this one on the speakers and cut a rug.
