Syd’s Top 10 Songs To Listen To After Being Scared Sh!tless
1) D’yer Mak’er by Led Zeppelin: This is one of my favorite songs EVER. It is the essence of classic rock, and the epitome of “feel good” music. In my opinion, you can’t ask for a better combo. 
2) Bad by Michael Jackson: This one will remind you how much of a bad ass you really are, after being scared shitless. haha
3) Pocket Full of Sunshine by Natasha Bedingfield: Now, whenever I hear this song, I think of the hilarious Emma Stone shower scene in “Easy A.” It’s hard to be scared when you’re laughing.
4) Lemonade by Cocorosie: Some people actually enjoy being scared out of their mind. If you’d like to continue this feeling of complete unease, check out this song. 
5) Three Little Birds by Bob Marley: How is this NOT going to make the list??
6) I Want You So Hard by Eagles of Death Metal: I can’t listen to this song without moving my body to the music. Dancing makes everyone happy.
7) Sour Cherry by The Kills: “Shout when you wanna get off the ride…” If you get a little too freaked out, turn this sucker on, and you won’t feel so bad.
8) Revelry by Kings of Leon: I’ve listened to this one plenty of times on a long night’s drive by myself. It makes me feel at peace with whatever situation I’m in.
9) Salute Your Solution by The Raconteurs: To me, this sounds like a fun-lovin’ guy rounding up a bunch of his friends and throwing a loud, awesome party in his living room. I definitely want to show up and have a beer.
10) Merry Happy by Kate Nash: This song tells the cutest story, told in full detail by the adorable British singer Kate Nash. It will effectively wipe your mind clean of anything disturbing or scary. 🙂

“He Walks By Night” – Listen to a Brand New John Carpenter Song NOW!

It’s a new day, and you’ve got new John Carpenter to listen to. John Carpenter, Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter have released the new track He Walks By Night this morning, the second single off their upcoming album Lost Themes IV: Noir, out May 3 on Sacred Bones Records.

Lost Themes IV: Noir is the latest installment in a series that sees Carpenter releasing new music for John Carpenter movies that don’t actually exist. The first Lost Themes was released in 2015, followed by Lost Themes II in 2016 and Lost Themes III: Alive After Death in 2021.

Sacred Bones previews, “It’s been a decade since John Carpenter recorded the material that would become Lost Themes, his debut album of non-film music and the opening salvo in one of Hollywood’s great second acts. Those vibrant, synth-driven songs, made in collaboration with his son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, kickstarted a musical renaissance for the pioneering composer and director. With Lost Themes IV: Noir, they’ve struck gold again, this time mining the rich history of the film noir genre for inspiration.

“Since the first Lost Themes, John has referred to these compositions as “soundtracks for the movies in your mind.” On the fourth installment in the series, those movies are noirs. Like the film genre they were influenced by, what makes these songs “noirish” is sometimes slippery and hard to define, and not merely reducible to a collection of tropes. The scores for the great American noir pictures were largely orchestral, while the Carpenters and Davies work off a sturdy synth-and-guitar backbone.

“The trio’s free-flowing chemistry means Lost Themes IV: Noir runs like a well-oiled machine—the 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster from Kiss Me Deadly, perhaps, or the 1958 Plymouth Fury from John’s own Christine. It’s a chemistry that’s helped power one of the most productive stretches of John’s creative life, and Noir proves that it’s nowhere near done yielding brilliant results.”
