Radio Clandestino playlist 10/31...all cover tunes

A massive Halloween storm brought major power outage in New England and our web server was knocked out, which left this show I had planned for months to be listened to only by those locals with power. No international broadcast this time, I am sorry to say. For our extra long Halloween edition, we bring you popular music, freakified.
