PLAYLISTS: Iowa Halloween Music

Okay, Iowa music scene, I love you and think you're awesome for the most part, but I have a complaint to make with you.

You have disappointed me and let me down big time!

How? you may ask. How could we have disappointed Dan OlderMusicGeek, famous publisher and producer of Iowa Music Showcase?

Let me tell you.

As far as I can tell, I am the ONE and ONLY source of Halloween music by Iowan artists and bands.

I have hunted high and low on the internet, Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube, and Google, looking for a podcast, blog entry, or playlist on Iowa Halloween music, and have come up with nothing! NOTHING!

The closest I got is this compilation put together Omaha hip hop artist, Haunted Gauntlet. At least, one of our neighbors has the Halloween spirit!

So Iowans, I am giving you a homework assignment!

No, don't argue! You brought this upon yourself! You have done this earlier, I wouldn't have to assign this to you!

By this time next year, I expect to find some podcasts featuring scary music by Iowans. Or failing that, then I expect to see some Iowa Halloween Music playlists on Spotify, SoundCloud, and YouTube! So get out there and make some playlists and start promoting Iowa artists!


In the meantime, since I'm the ONLY ONE doing this, here's a playlist I put together on Spotify! You're welcome, you ungrateful whelps!

PLAYLISTS: Random Iowa Music SoundCloud Playlist 1

Well, I've been making playlist of music from Spotify that is picked at random using shuffle. But I decided there is a lot of unheard Iowa music on SoundCloud. So I go on there once in a while and hunt down Iowa artists and follow them.

If you're an artist I'm NOT following, let me know, and I start following you. Just send a link to iowamusicshowcase@gmail.com!

So here's some artists from SoundCloud, totally picked at random. I even used a random number generator to pick them! The playlists features electronic music, world music, hip hop, folk, gospel, and piano music!
