Halloween Countdown: October 27 – patch it up with frosting and entropy

I spent this stormy Saturday afternoon engaged in some fiendish alchemical pursuits of my own, actually.

Dare you face the delicious terror that is....


...THE CAKE OF ENTROPIC DOOM? (Or, in less purple terms, my wife's birthday cake.) Sure, it looks unassuming and innocent, but the cream cheese frosting and gumdrops are just there to lure the unwary into sampling its devilishly rich texture.

Icicle Works - In the Cauldron of Love (from Icicle Works, 1984) - It's a little outside the established Halloween music boundaries, I'll grant you, but the track certainly has its spooky moments (the bridge especially), and most importantly, fits today's theme.
