SummersRadio™ STARTLEFEST 2012 Halloween Spectacular! The 6ths Featuring Neil Hannon - 'The Dead Only Quickly Decay'

Halloween is at odds with itself. It's a fun time - and also a celebration that revolves around evil and fear. Ghosts, goblins, witches, demons and devils - what does it all add up to? What really happens when you die? Will you spend enternity in some fiery cave below the earth's crust because you told a lie when you were five, or because you once smoked a joint and said that you didn't inhale, when you really did?

Perhaps such things are just a bunch of bruhaha - maybe when we die, we simply die.

The average pop song is usually around three and a half minutes long - and the average dance tune maybe six minutes. There's aren't a lot of memorable tracks only a minute long - but we have an exception here. 'The Dead Only Quickly Decay' is a song from the 6ths second album called 'Hyacinths And Thistles' - say that one ten times fast - I dare you!

The 6ths are one of many side projects of Stephin Merritt of The Magnetic Fields - although he writes all the songs he chooses a different singer to record the vocals on each track. This song features Neil Hannon from the Irish band The Divine Comedy. 'The Dead Only Quickly Decay' is both creepy and cheeky - who else but Merritt would think to rhyme decay and soufflé... Enjoy!
