Fear is the Mind Killer

(click on picture for clearer playlist)

This mix is on its way. I couldn't pass up a theme this time, so similar to Gillz' mix, I have chosen songs that have disturbed, frightened, or outright terrified me at some point in my life.

I am a little disappointed in my effort this time around. There were a lot of tracks that I am missing, and a few bonus tracks that wouldn't burn for some odd reason. Maybe I will send these around in an email, and you can take them or leave them.

This mix will only be "effective" with patience, and a good form or transmission. I say pick a dimly lit room, put on some comfortable headphones, and strap on some fresh courage. Or, take a drive through dark trees with the windows down and the stereo up. This is a vast departure from what I wanted to include on my next mix, but I hope something resonates with at least one of you.

If I could include video on the disc (which I guess I could), a few more tracks would have been Herby Hancock's "Rockit," Grateful Dead "Touch of Grey," George Harrison "I Got My Mind Set On You," and a His Name is Alive video. These short films scared the poop out of me, and are still unnerving. I guess of all things, as a kid I found personification of non-persons the height of terror. What songs bothered/bother you, and why? I want to know.

Thanks.
