Hi, and sorry again for the recent lack of posts. I had big plans for today, but no time to execute them. (Get it? Halloween? Murder pun? Never mind.)
So here is a link to my old post from 2008, wherein I talk a little about one of the catchiest ghost songs of all time, "Grim Grinning Ghosts" from Disney's Haunted Mansion.
The download link, like all the rest on that blog, is long-since dead, but I've once again made the songs available, for a limited time only. If you like what you hear, please go buy the songs from the copyright holders. And if you're reading this past, say, November 15th or so, don't be surprised if the link is down. Sorry.
Did you know that title comes from Shakespeare? In "Venus and Adonis," he wrote:
...Hateful divorce of love,'—thus chides she Death,—And now that I've given you your culture for the day, get to listening! I've already got two posts in the pipeline for tomorrow, and one of them is, like, my favorite thing ever. See ya then!
'Grim-grinning ghost, earth's worm, what dost thou mean
To stifle beauty and to steal his breath,
Who when he liv'd, his breath and beauty set
Gloss on the rose, smell to the violet?''
