Modcast #613: All Treats, No Tricks

It's time for another spooktacular Halloween modcast. Your regular ghoul master DJ Ken is vacationing at Crystal Lake while head devil Mr. Suave prepares to dole out oxycontin candy to neighborhood tricksters. Meanwhile, it's trick or treat time and we've got full sized treats for you. No healthy pop music, no tiny bags of alt country, no bite sized bits of hip hop. Just ear candy custom made for the season. Creepy, kooky, ooky and downright groovy, this year's Halloween modcast has it all. From Vampyros Lesbos to The Darts, from The Jetstones to The Fleshtones to The Fuzztones, this is a modcast mix so ghoulish it'll make you long for some pumpkin spice.
