I mean, right? I've lost interest in Halloween. Well, to be truthful, I never really had a whole lot of interest in it. Sure, as a youngin' I enjoyed it, because you're pretty much required to enjoy free candy when you're 7. But as I grew older Halloween just got to be a pain. I don't really want to have to walk around to all those houses just to get some mini-Snickers that I won't eat. By my teens, I had become jaded with the holiday, and decided it was easier to just go to CVS the day after and get the candy that's on-sale. I get it from my parents, who are equally lazy when it comes to this night. They've given up on giving out candy, and now regularly go out on Halloween or just turn the lights off. Now, of course, I go to Hampshire College, where Halloween is the biggest event of the year. Basically, and excuse for everyone on campus to go ape-shit and take a fuck-ton of drugs and dance to techno in a tent in the rain. It's amazing how much the school puts into an event like this, but oh well. God bless 'em. At least they're not naive about it. And that's not to say it's all terrible. It is at least quite the show. A shit-show, but still. And there's fireworks. I'm down with that. So with 10 or so shots of tequila and some creative use of a pumpkin, sure, I can have a good time on Halloween after all these years. Does it mean I love Halloween? No, I'm not there yet.
For your listening pleasure today, a song off of an EP put out a few years ago, which was put together in part by former Unicorns and current Islands member Nicholas Diamonds, the proceeds of which were donated to UNICEF. It's sort of a "We Are The World" for the indie-rockers, featuring members of Sonic Youth, Arcade Fire, Wolf Parade, Beck, Devendra Banhart, uh, David Cross, and others. Actually a pretty good song, too, so props. The upload is with Media Fire this time since SendSpace was being douchey. Same deal, change the address, follow the link, download, enjoy.
