We're entering the 13 days of Halloween. To celebrate their arrival, the next 13 days here on Patchdrury.com will be dedicated to celebrating Halloween (with regular content thrown in as well). To get started, here's the video for one of my favorite Halloween songs by some of my favorite artists.

Back in 2005 the The North American Halloween Prevention Initiative was formed, tongue firmly in cheek, under the auspice of stopping Halloween. This initiative is made up of a veritable who's who of indie rockers and comedians:

Arcade Fire's Win & Regine, Redd Kross' Steve McDonald, Beck, R.E.M.'s Joey, Waronker, Buck 65, Rilo Kiley's Jenny Lewis, David Cross, Roky Erickson, Devendra Banhart , Sloan's Chris Murphy, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, Smoosh's Asya & Chloe, Feist, Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore, Gino Washington, Sparks' Russel Mael, Les Savy Fav's Syd Butler , Subtitle, Islands' J'aime, Sum 41's Stevo, Malcolm Mclaren, Tagaq, Peaches, That Dog's Anna Waronker, Postal Service's Jimmy Tamborello, Wolf Parade's Dan & Spencer, Yeah Yeah Yeah's Karen O.

All the proceeds from their first single, Do They Know It's Halloween (recorded all We Are The World style) went to Unicef.

The song always (well, for the last two years anyway) makes an appearance on my Halloween party playlist. Here's the video:

That was awesome.
