The Definitive New York Spooky Season Playlist
Aside from culinary exploration, travel, and everything that goes with it, one of my other obsessions in life is music. I tend to approach what I listen to through a seasonal lens. On March 1st it's all traditional Irish music, all the time. Memorial Day weekend brings pirate radio broadcasts done in country at the height of the Vietnam War. As soon as October 1st hits, and through Halloween, it's the sounds of gloomy gothic rocking goodness. Up against the October rust in our environs, and through Halloween, these songs are a great soundtrack to the season. From 80s goth rock to modern doom to heavy rock, this is just a little taste of the good stuff. Let's dive in, shall we? Some selections may contain coarse language. As they say, enter at your own risk!
