Can't Scare 'Em All

A 1998 release which proves you can't take a plug seriously sometimes.

This is 72 minutes of what the creator, BCI, promises:  "The most chilling music ever! Over 20 songs to set the mood for a scary beat. Listen along with the ghosts to their music. Spice up your scary stories with this music in the background for a more frightful experience. Make your friends scream by scaring them to the beats of this CD. Listen to them everywhere to have the Halloween spirit in you."

But this is a lie, a lie I tell you!  The actual contents are:

01. Track  1 (1:15)

02. Track  2 (30:58)

03. Track  3 (3:25)

04. Track  4 (2:37)

05. Track  5 (17:51)

06. Track  6 (1:55)

07. Track  7 (5:16)

08. Track  8 (5:10)

09. Track  9 (3:44)

... That's nine tracks, not 20.  And, as one Amazon reviewer says, "This cd does not have classic songs on it, nor is it for kids like it states on the cover, it is just a bunch of scary noises and wind blowing and stuff, some of the tracks sound very scary, NOT party music, maybe haunted house music and that is it, my daughter was very disappointed."

Let me know if YOU'RE scared!

What Dreams These Be

I was intrigued to observe that plenty of these selections do not sound like stereotypical “Jewish” music, all minor keys or dreary cadences.  Some of these sound like snake-charmer dances, others like sailors’ hornpipes, or …. ?

Although I would have liked ’em a lot better without the wolf whistles and catcalls!

You decide!  See you on Monday.
