Hey you, don’t watch that, watch this This is the heavy heavy monster sound The nuttiest sound around So if you’ve come in off the street And you’re beginning to feel the heat Well, listen buster You better start to move your feet To the rockinest, rock-steady beat Of Madness! I think the most terrifying…
My journey’s over I’m standing on the edge And close my eyes To this world of lies My will is broken It’s the end of all my dreams My soul yearns For the Valley of the Queens… As I have previously mentioned, I could choose any one of too many amazing Ayreon songs for our…
Yup. Your pals here at Hokeyblog are featuring yet another instrumental piece this evening. So if you’re looking for the usual italicized lyrics to kick off this post… you won’t find any.

He has no children of his Own you see… He has no dog And he has no friends and His lawn is dying… and What about all those packages He sends. What’s he building in there? Tom Waits’s brilliantly macabre 1999 spoken-word song What’s He Building is absolutely infuriating. Horrifyingly, maddeningly infuriating. Of course, it makes for…

Utterly so. I’ve been running this Buttkickin’ Halloween Songs ridiculousness since October 2013 and only…
I heard the sound of voices in the night Spellbound, there was someone calling I looked around, no one was in sight Pulled down, I just kept on falling… So living freakin’ guitar legend Richie Blackmore has spent the better part of the last two decades creating folk/Renaissance music with his wife Candice Night under…
No quoted lyrics this time around. We’re featuring our first instrumental piece of the season. While doing my annual summertime due diligence, where your host starts looking for new and fascinating pieces to feature for our Halloween playlist, I discovered the work of Australian composer Peter Gundry.
