The JamsBio post of the week

Gogol Bordello

October 31st is a big night for going out. If you can’t make up your mind to be childish, sexy, heroic or scary, take a hint from indieabby88 of Lawrence, KS and enjoy this Halloween as a mosh-pit punk or indie kid, or as a purple-wearing gypsy rocker like Gogol Bordello, whom she meet that night.

Read about her Halloween Night to Remember. What are you doing this Halloween? Whether your plans include trick-or-treating or a night of ghoulish revelry, post about your Halloween antics…. if you dare.

The JamsBio List of the week

Best Halloween Songs

Let’s all agree that Thriller is numero uno — as a song and video, as well as a cautionary tale on the dangers of young people hanging out with Michael Jackson. But one song is not enough to rock the party. So, with October 31 fast approaching, now’s the time to bring out your scariest songs and your most blood-dripping beats.

What are tricks and treats can you bring to this Monster Mash-up of favorite Halloween songs? Add them to Best Halloween Songs.
