it has come to my attention that not many people are aware of the existence of halloween goodie bag! which is a great shame i intend to repair.
halloween goodie bag is a project i started in october 2022 out of sheer panic that the album i had just released in september was unforgivably bad. i felt i had to prove, at least to myself, that i was capable of writing and recording a good song. so i gave myself a deadline of halloween and scrambled to write SOMETHING, ANYTHING. the result was weather spent, which is a song i'm still fairly proud of.
the next year i wanted to continue the tradition, so i established a real rule set designed to invoke the most horrible feeling in my chest on the night of october 30th: i must write a brand new song from scratch and record, mix and release it on halloween. nothing can carry over from september, it has to be brand new. and i have to up the ante in some fashion from last year's release. so i made a video:
for year three, who knows what i'll do! i don't even know yet, and it's the 9th! it's all in the spirit of the tradition to be stressed beyond belief all month until the very last moment. but i have a feeling it will involve my beautiful band and a magical little thing called not playing all the instruments yourself.
truly petrified
