Meredith Meyer

All Hallowed Week; pre-requisite of posts are some manifestation of the morbid, shivery, and ghoulish. Short of posting Monster Mash - don't put it past me - best efforts will be made my little beasties.

To be fair, Meredith Meyer isn't all that scary. The LA gal brought her chamber pop vocal cords to Chicago where her second album, "It's Spooky to Be Young," was produced overlooking the Chicago River. (Spooky, score.) Lonely and shimmery bemoaning over a love lost to a Zelda Complex, UFO synth pulls the aluminum foil sheets up to the chin. (Alien lasers, check.) Hard to say what's spookier; heartache? Childhood? Beings from another planet? Probably childhood.

At midnight, let's all walk outside with our flashlights and start a morse code signaling to the heavens, see what flickers back at us. Who's in?

Many people consider this hip hop, and Mochipet himself claims that his favorite music is "anything not electronic." Well, then.

Mark Mothersbaugh Plays With His Monkey

Spielberg hires one of the film industries’ favorite musicians to score a video game about block-shaped monkeys and sheep that blow shit up. I guess even the insanely rich need a few extra million when times get tough. I wouldn’t recommend this collection of songs for any late night baby-making sessions; unless your idea of sex involves a pogo stick and a magical village.
