Grotesqueries at Random, Vol. 72: Dead Boys/Cold Blood

October 31, 2008 – 10:30 am

Today is Halloween…A day maligned by some conspiratorial types as a vestigial remnant of humanity’s Satan-worshiping pre-Christian past at worst, or a superstitious backslide into paganism at best.

You Wanna Listen to This So Bad Your D***’s Hard -OR- Rock-A-Bye Baby!
