I've been wanting to post some playlists of music. I should stress that the emphasis is on the music and not the videos (since I pulled them together using youtube).
So the intent here is to share some music that I dig, with the hopes that you'll minimize the window and work on other things while it's playing. Hope you dig.

Mystic
Decided to experiment and buy some incense sticks from a company other than Gonesh since I was looking for something very specific - black licorice. Mystic Ways came up after a quick search and I placed my order for anise, nutmeg, and pumpkin. It took two days to get here. That's crazy fast. I could smell the three mingled scents when I lifted the box. Very nice.
Incense sticks are tricky. The pre-flame and post-flame scents are obviously going to be pretty different. And often times the post-flame smoke ends up smelling like a pretty bland and standard incense. That's why I love Gonesh incense so much. The smoke scent is darn close to the unlit scent.
Mystic Ways' sticks are intense in their pre-flame state. Like store-on-the-back-porch intense. It's impressive. The house smells of licorice and spice. So when they're burning, you can smell both aromas. Which is neat. The nutmeg and pumpkin post-flame scents are creamy and light. The anise is dark and sweet.
Good prices. Quick delivery.

Fire In Her Eyes
Literally.
Very cool design for a witch prop, featuring a real candle inside her vile head. 
This is truly a menacing prop. Even her shadow is creepy.
Thanks, Jeremy. These are GREAT.

The Ghost Train
Giger had long wanted to build his Ghost Train, an idea dating back to his childhood, borne from a fascination with trains. It later became a recurring theme in his artwork. He tried incorporating it into former aborted film projects, such as the Alejandro Jodorowsky version of DUNE and Ridley Scott's THE TRAIN. In fact, the locomotive skulls on the SPECIES train bear a resemblance to the 1976 painting he made for DUNE. Giger thought SPECIES a natural fulfillment of his dream, as it could allow him to realize, in a working 3-dimensional form, a lifelong passion.
The article.
A video.
Thanks, Michelle. Never knew about this.

Halloween Reading
I featured this book a few times on my old BREWING page before I moved to Blogger. I picked this up back when it was first released. If I were a Halloween preacher, this would be my Halloween bible. The pages and cover are soft and worn. It's packed with stories, lists, poems, and memories. Truly a Celebration of Halloween (as the cover states).
Currently out of print, but used copies are pretty reasonably priced.
