Tiki Ten: Ten from the Crypt

Halloween is a sacred time of year for some.  What better way to show this than through music.  We have compiled a special edition of Tiki Ten to celebrate this unique holiday.  Together we have assembled the darker side of Halloween.  It will vary in tone from horror, to nostalgic, to down right creepy.  They will be fun, ghoulish, dirty, fast, and mean, sometimes all at once.  We will run you through the gauntlet of all the emotions of this glorious holiday.  Enjoy this eclectic mix, and play it for all small children you come across.  Teach them the true meaning of Halloween.

Tiki Ten: Breakups

We all go through breakups. Music usually plays a big part of my life when I go through a breakup.  It helps me get through many of the stages, from self pity to I'm awesome and that crazy girl just lost the best thing she'll ever know. So half of this months Tiki Ten is some self pity songs and merges to songs that help you move on with your life. Hopefully, by listening to this, you can move through all the phases of the breakup in 33 minutes rather than 6 months of wallowing in your own filth and growing weird facial hair.

Tiki Ten: Duck & Cover

It's hard to do a great cover song. Your taking someone else's message and repurposing it, putting your own spin on it. The thing that I love about music is that it's very subjective. A song can mean something different to two different people. I believe that the cover song best exemplifies this. A good cover song provides two different takes on the same song. A cover can give a song new meaning and new life. So here is a few of my favorite covers.
