District Mixtape: Halloween edition

It’s only once a year that corsets are acceptable to wear as shirts and the embassies give you candy instead of visas. So, whether you’re pre-gaming, dancing the night away or doing the walk of shame in last night’s robot costume (including silver face-paint), put this Halloween-inspired playlist on repeat to keep you going strong, all weekend long.

1. “The Time Warp” – Rocky Horror Picture Show

2. “Rap-zilla”- Rappers Delight Club

3. “Don’t Fear The Reaper” – Blue Oyster Cult

4. “Werewolves of London” – Warren Zevon

5. “Living in the Sky With Diamonds”- Cobra Starship

6. “Chillin’ (Feat. Lady Gaga)” – Wale

7. “The Monster Mash” – Bobby “Boris” Pickett

8. “Young Forever (Feat. Mr. Hudson)”- Jay-Z

9. “Psycho Killer” – Talking Heads

10. “Little Secrets”- Passion Pit

-compiled Amy Rhodin and Caroline Coppel.

These United States released Crimes. Pitchfork media was mildly (but not very) impressed.

WHAT? SERIOUSLY? Pitchfork killing things? NEVER!

The D.C.-based (soft) indie rock outfit These United States recently released the full-length “Crimes.” Cheers to a “slightly more rousing effort.”
