It's almost Halloween, almost All Souls' Day, almost almost Dia de los Muertos.  Y'got candy, y'got costumes, y'got cemeteries and ceremony; there's grave-flowers and tomb maintenance, there's celebration and bread... 

How beautifully bittersweet, these last sloe-eyed days of October.

This is only one of the three haiku. This won purely for the word 'dead.' I'm just that shallow.

Angola scares me, too. Way more than zombies, even with all that brain-eating business.
Revolution Void
"Someone Else's Memories"
The Politics of Desire
Creepy number three: Bladerunner-style memory-hijinks.
Grupo Fantasma

...they innocently tell the proprietress at the antiquated, isolated hostel's front "desk"....
The Books
"Motherless Bastard"
Thought for Food
The other song tonight featuring flabbergasted cherubs. This kid'll probably need a little self-help help later on. ...And if these two songs are any indication, "dads" (so-called) are a pretty sadistic bunch.
Rodrigo y Gabriela
"Ixtapa"
Rodrigo y Gabriela
Yma Sumac
"Goomba Boomba"
Mambo!
