Just wanted to slip one last song in before the last spooky song of the season. If you've ever thought opera to be unfunny and impenetrable (aside from the one sung by Bugs Bunny, that is), Joseph Keckler is here to change your mind. His rich voice spans three octaves and he sings in German and Italian more than English, but his songs cover such un-stuffy topics as a demon-infused magic mushroom trip and a mob of strangers he met on the internet showing up at his house a few years late. "Goth Song" is his opus about re-becoming a teen goth and the strain that puts on one's adult work life. Turns out it's not so easy to maintain "the look" when one has to buy all those vinyl clothes using one's paycheck rather than an allowance. If you dig this song, check out his other videos on his website. They're all great! And don't pass up a chance to hear his amazing voice live--right now he's on tour with Sleater Kinney. Unless of course you spent all your concert money on vinyl clothing.
