  • Is Kanye Dead? Twitter tries to tell us so.
  • The Reader's Crickets blog has the line on Sepultura's Igor Cavalera's new dance music gig: Mix Hell. (Comes with a free download!)
  • In case your head's in a hole, that Michael Jackson tour movie came out. Greg Kot liked it. 
  • UR Magazine also has free Halloween mixtapes for download like this latest one from Moneypenny.
  • Need even more Halloween music for your party? Get some for a limited time on FoGB site Outof5.com.
  • WFMU's Beware of the Blog resurfaces to bring us 6 great downloads from the interwebs.
  • Need some way to kill the time this afternoon? Try 101 videos from antville.org. (via)
  • ChicagoZombie.com has been strangely quiet since 10/17? Perhaps they lost their braaaaains?
