i'll drop you off in harlem with the black rider

Posted by doubter on Friday, October 31st, 2008

happy halloween everyone! just got finished taking mac out trick or treating, and now we sit in an empty house. movers came today, so we will be sleeping on the floor this evening. the moving guys were super cool and will delivering our shit on sunday instead of monday. the thought of having to spend multiple nights without furniture and sleeping on hardwood floors didnt sound all that appealing. so kudos to these chaps…

i dont have any awesome halloween mix to post, but i do have something probably as creepy. admittedly, this is a repost but me thinks it fits the nights mood. i should mention that these are the demos to mr waits’ the black rider.
