"Evil Ways" by Santana

Happy Halloween!  I used most of my favorite Halloween songs last year, but this classic song is at least somewhat related.

"Jump Into the Fire" by Harry Nilsson

I had completely forgotten about this song until I found a copy of the Nilsson Shmilsson CD in a discount bin and when I played it I remembered I love this song.  The psychedelic video is kind of fun too.

"Green Door" by Jim Lowe

I remember this is one of my favorite 45's from a very young age.  The first video shows pictures of many different records and sleeves, it's cool!

"The People Who Grinned Themselves to Death" by The Housemartins

This came on KCQN Utah this morning as part of the "Halloweenie" weekend, it's a great song so I had to post it.

Note: I'm not sure the lyrics in the above video are exactly correct.  Like I think the line around 1:58 should be "And when they took her riches it was sad".

"From My Window" by Swing Out Sister

I was trying to clean up my office yesterday and found Swing Out Sister's "Where Our Love Grows" CD in a stack of CDs.  So I put it in and listened while continuing the futile effort of cleaning up this mess.  (I did get one of the computers reassembled and off the floor.)  I decided that I had to add this song to my list of favorites.

"Everything Must Change" by George Benson

I think a George Benson "Twin Spin" is in order.  I never realized until tonight this was an 8 minute song.

"Reptile" by The Church

I thought of another great song from I think the KJQ New Wave era, so I have to post it.

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je0_PQl78HM

Bonus track: I don't know if I would count this song as a "Record 2 Die 4" but it is a great song.  I still remember hearing it in Miami Vice.

"Babylon" by David Gray

Love this song!  Someone changed matched up the original video with the Radio Mix.  I personally like the other version best.

"Dirty Epic" by Underworld

This Flash Forward song played on KCQN Utah this morning and it reminded me what a great song this is.  Love the video too, it's kind of psychedelic like back in the 60's.

"Vanishing Girl" by The Dukes of Stratosphear

This is of course XTC with their psychedelic era project.

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6asb8T6KoPA

Rachel note: I recreated this post by duplicating the original because the original had a weird link (2013/07/) maybe I moved this post for some reason?  I can't remember.
