Happy first Monday of October! It’s your friend and selector, Marlon, back with another GBN offering.
‘Tis the season again. Halloween season, that is. Here’s the first of four October offerings. “Strange Things” is a collection of reggae, ska, and calypso hand-picked for this time of year.
This ain’t the collection to scare kids off your porch with. Though it is almost certain to make you (and them) move. Here’s a casket of new and classic reggae trucking in duppies, ghosts, vampires, zombies, and other undead creatures.
It’s scary, just how many reggae tunes there are that fall into this ghoulish category once you start, wait for it… digging.
Dad jokes aside, this playlist gathers tracks dealing with monsters and devils from the earliest ‘60s rocksteady to today’s reggaeton. More Halloween season tunes to follow next week.
Until then, stay safe, sane, and kind.
