This started as a festive little Halloween mix in which I compiled some seasonal sounds that I felt were eerie and haunting, but the end result turned out kind of bleak and nightmarish. Not exactly a party jam, but possibly an appropriate haunted house score. No tracklist, but first person that can name all the songs wins something TBD:
mp3:
gorilla vs. bear halloween mix (29 mb)

Fergie – "Fergalicious" (3:42)
Rihanna featuring Sean Paul – "Break It Off" (3:33)

Beyoncé – "Irreplacable" (3:45)
Justin Timberlake featuring T.I. – "My Love" (4:37)
Akon featuring Snoop Dogg – "I Wanna Love You" (3:56)
Bow Wow featuring Chris Brown & Johnta Austin – "Shortie Like Mine" (4:27)

That image you chose…
I know GvB likes all those washed out 60's and 70's Kodachromes, but that looks a lot like one of the many images that was the legacy of Pol Pot. He was responsible for the deaths of up to 2.5 million innocent people.
Nothing to do with Halloween what so ever…
spelled it wrong,

Most of them have been named. :( But! I also heard "Here Before" by Vashti Bunyan.
Great mix by the way, haunting indeed.
Love Grace.
pretty sure carls works for grlavsbr or crls is grlvsbr
not kitting
11.30 is Burial – Dog Shelter
Burial is hidden in there too I think, or someone that sounds a lot like him.
This is one of the best mixes I've heard in a long time – chilly fall awesomeness.
sonswantrevenge – I think you might mean 'Miarches' by Forest Swords? Kickass track.
Scottish Friction: are you trying to deter people from downloading the mixtape or what? Who wants to listen to Fergie and Justin Timberlake?
10:22: that image has absolutely nothing to do with Pol Pot or any other genocidal dictators. thanks for your concern.
also skulls are 'spooky'
how many tracks are there?
who has the name of that salem track?
these arent in order
susan christie-no one can hear you cry
delia derbyshire-dreams
fever ray-here before
paavoharju-pimeankarkelo
forest swords-miarches
fever ray-if i had a heart
burial-dog shelter
Jeannie that's Scottish Friction's failed attempt to get people to check out his pathetic little blog
What is it a picture of, out of curiosity? Specifically that is, obviously it is a picture of skulls.
What is the very last song, starting around 26:30?
haha! aww, i was only trying to be arch and subversive.
this is GVB, do you honestly think they post Fergie haha?!
@Jeannie and G-thing, people aren't going to be deterred by my silly tracklist ripped from Now That's What I Call Music 24 are they?
the photo is from St. Catherine's Monastery in Sinai. They keep all the skulls of the past monks in a small chapel/crypt called the Skull House in a giant pile. see, not dead cambodians. no genocide. just a scary pile of skulls.
also, i think there are only 2 songs/artists that haven't been mentioned. hint: one is from the 1920s, the other is from 2009.
get the fuck off chris's nuts
even if those we're Pol Pot's murdered skulls it could easily be linked to this holiday, and i'd even dare to say more profoundly so
just say thx and stfu
p.s.: chris, thx?!
but, since i got most of them,
do i win something? haha

That image is featured in a Nat Geo from the 60s or 70s…the really good Egypt-centered one, I wanna say, right?
yeah it's from a 1976 issue, pretty amazing article called 'the steps of moses' or something
also, where does 'here before' come from?
I posted links to a bunch of rockabilly/surf rock/library albums that heavily feature horror/sci-fi movies samples on my blog. Click on my name to check em out.

"yo real talk, Omarion's "Ice Box"… a jam." So true though!
