All Hallows' Even

So this year I have decided to dress up for Halloween...it would be sacriligious not to since its on a Saturday and all. Anyway here are some awesome links to costume ideas for those who are laggin.

For the crafty at heart who sew a bit. Threadbanger.com has been putting out awesome halloween costume episodes lately. If you loved the VMA's and all her amazing outfits then you may want to be Lady Gaga for halloween. Also although it hasn't come out yet Alice and Wonderland is getting a lot of hype. Be stark raving mad as the Mad Hatter tim burton style.

Had some time on my hands this past week...so i decided it was about time i created one of these silly things. Here are some songs i have been digging lately.

The Chordettes - Lollipop (Squeak E Clean & Desert Eagles Remix)

The Temper Trap - Science Of Fear (Herve Remix)

Chromeo - Night By Night (Skream Remix)

Built To Spill - Hindsight
