A Playlist to DIE For...
Playlists can be tricky things, and there is no one-size-fits-all. Sure, there are some staples, like Nutbush at an Australian Wedding, or Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" (or desperately trying to hide under the nearest table when Macarena starts playing and Great-Uncle Bob gets that gleam in his eye...). Overall, however, a party playlist should be tailored to the occasion, and Halloween parties are no exception.

It's Spooky Time Once Again
A spooky playlist for Halloween? Do you mean the one I listen to every other week just because I want to see the reaction of those willing to let me drive them places? The one I listen to in the car when I’m by myself, windows down, July? This challenge is right up my alley. Of the 60 or so stories and poems I’ve written and submitted to Vocal so far, I’ve touched on a cemetery setting twice, end-of-life scenarios four times, the underworld three times, a requiem, a conversation with a ghost, a review of a haunted amusement park, and my own eulogy. A prevailing theme permeates much of what I like to write. A playlist to go with the normal dark side of me as well as the Spooky Time decorations I put up weeks ago already? Yes. Very yes.

Top Ten Underrated Bruno Mars Songs
Bruno Mars may be known for his chart-topping hits, but there’s more to this Doo-Wopping Hooligan than meets the ear. Mars has churned out a number of fantastic songs over the past half-decade, but a lot of them never got the recognition they deserved from the media, the airwaves, or even in the hearts of fans. Still these songs deserve a place in history alongside the ubiquitous hits, or at least a listen after you’re done spinning “24K Magic” on repeat.

Halloween Mood
As an Australian, Halloween is nowhere near as big an event as it is in the U.S, but man I wish it was. What I would give to be able to travel over to celebrate Halloween in America. I reckon it would be an absolute blast! Fingers crossed that I'll get to do it one of these days.

A good night to Dance
The invitation arrived at my door, delivered by a Ghoul and a Zombie, I thanked them and tipped them ten dollars, and they acted very happy to receive a tip. “The grateful dead”, I muttered as I opened the blood red (O negative, to be exact) envelope.
