Halloween is only a few days away, and hopefully we’ll have ourselves lots of treats in the form of these new album releases.  A couple of goodies that I definitely can recommend include two releases from Slumberland Records – caUSE co-MOTION’s It’s Time! and Crystal Stilts’ Alight of Night.  If indiepop doesn’t tickle your fancy, and you want something a little darker, maybe take a look at Deerhunter’s Microcastle or Ryan Adams and The Cardinals’ Cardinology?  Actually, no thanks on either of those for me, just not my cup of tea.  Besides recommendations of albums this week, what candy do you prefer to give or receive on Halloween?  Let us know!  I’ll take Reeses Cups if anyone was curious…
